[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 524605, member: 14306"] Hello, Welcome in board and sorry you needed to find us. My only answer to your question is that physical and neuropsychologist conditions can cohabit together on the same person (a short sign line you can see in the bottom of my message will tell you better than a long explanation). So it's not contradictory to have giardia and ADHD diagnosis. As it's not contradictory to have ADHD and hearing/sight impairment.... If I were you, I would also see if there are sensory impairments, as it can fuel the sensory integration disorder. Even if your child does not hear/see from one side, the more you get help from this problem, the more you'll be able to concentrate on the neuropsychologist aspect. It's not because it's "only one side" that it's nothing. Also, another point that I won't never ever stress enough, even if I need to exhaust myself LOL Don't rely on how much medication your child needs to assess the condition's severity, because it can be very misleading (sorry Insane to insist on this point, but I see too many persons being trapped about it, even physicians. So reminding this aspect is, in my eyes, very important). Your child can have very severe symptoms but well controlled with tiny dose of medication, whereas another person may need a huge amount of medicines to control mild symptoms. In my case, my ADHD symptoms are very impairing but as weird as it seems, it is well controlled with only 18mg of Concerta a day. If I don't take my Concerta, anyone can see how severe are my symptoms. And even doctors are amazed how such a tiny dose can control (very) severe symptoms in my case. It's not a matter of symptoms' severity, but it's a matter of individual sensitivity. Each individual has a different sensitivity to medicines, some will be very sensitive and some will be very resistant to medicines. It depends not only on the person's height and weight, but you can be very sensitive to medicines while being overweight and you can be very resistant while you're very thin. Height and weight are only a parameter, but it doesn't make all of this. This problem of sensitivity can also explain why a person does well with a fast acting release while she does very poorly on an extended release, with the same molecule. Ok, I am not an expert in pharmacokynetics, but these hints are so important and not enough stressed to patients. Sorry if it seems or it is Occupational Therapist (OT). Take care [/QUOTE]
