[QUOTE="Andy, post: 259574, member: 5096"] Thank you! You are both correct. We did that route Fall of 2007 when his first bout of anxiety/panic set in. He had EVERYTHING (including MRI and EKG and EEG) looked at and ruled out. Just this past January (2009), he had his annual physical with the doctor who managed his medications. We do have the advantage that difficult child is very compliant with all doctor orders. difficult child also says, "If I didn't have those tests last year, I would be more scared this year. But I know things can change in a year." We have a young dad at church that has been diagnosed this last fall with brain cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer. This person who was very active in our church is dying. He will not be with us by next year (maybe even by the end of the school year). His daughter goes to difficult child's very small school so it affects all the kids. difficult child now refers to him and is afraid he himself has brain cancer. difficult child said he wished he could leave his body and go into his friends' body to see if they ever feel the same way he does. I wish I can go into his brain and feel what he is going through. His neurology appointment the day after Easter will also help. If he can explain to her what he is feeling and she states it is anxiety and nothing else that will go a long way - well, until the next panic or anxiety attack. His psychiatrist appointment has been rescheduled to April 16th. He will not let on to the teachers how bad he feels so they give me reports of, "He was just fine today. He said his head felt weird but he got right back into the swing of things." Than he gets in the van after school today and says, "This is the worse day ever!" I think he is not sure how to explain to the teachers for them to understand. His coping skills at school are very good. I think he just wants a break from them when he is at home or with me. He can't explain to me either - I get my heart tugged at and am not sure how to explain it either. I am thinking the teachers are starting to wonder if I am making this up or if difficult child is trying to play me for a overlyprotective mom. [/QUOTE]
