[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 80933, member: 3419"] Stay with-us, Kjs!!!! We're all in the same boat. Your director at school sounds like a charm. I'm so glad she is thinking positive thoughts and believes your difficult child isn't the problem. I, too, would wonder if there is a drug related tic, or if it's Tourettes, and would want tests. There's got to be a way to get a referral and figure it out. My son blinked strangely when he was about 6 or 7. I can't recall the age now, but I remember the exact moment that I saw him do it the first time. I told him it looked strange and to please stop it. He said he couldn't. I asked him if his eyes itched and he said sort of, but mostly, they were sticky. I thought, hmm, very dry. By coincidence, we had a camp physical and his pediatrician did a regular eye exam and referred him to a pediatric specialist, based on what he saw with-his otoscope. Turned out he has glaucoma. Weird blinking is one of the symptoms. (No, of course the docs didn't tell me that part ... I found it online when I looked up details on glaucoma.) I would go back to your pediatrician and be very firm about a referral. Then find resources to help with-payment. Many places have a sliding fee scale. Our local children's hospital. has numerous fundraisers all yr to raise $ to provide for people who can't afford the full fee. [/QUOTE]
