[QUOTE="misskrystal, post: 207059, member: 6222"] Hey all! Thanks for the warm welcomes! We have switched family docs 3 times now because they don't believe anything is wrong with her. She sits nicely in the little room, (well they say nicely but she is all over the place). I originally saw a pediatric specialist (I think that was her title). She said she thought it was Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. This was In preschool. She was moving out of state so she referred me to a doctor good with Autism. Well that doctor had health issues and was out for at least six months and told me to go to KU. (2 hours from here) We drove up there went through the song and dance in MAYBE 2 hours and they said, "Nope she isn't autistic. She fell just below the line." So I asked what it was she had. They said they weren't sure, but to keep going. She was shuffled a lot from birth to six months. Her bio mom was totally unstable. She has the same problems difficult child has but she hasn't had a lock in diagnosis either. Then after we got her at 6 months we had another 6 months of every other weekend custody with the bio mom. difficult child would scream and cling to us when she left. Always made me feel terrible. When she would come back she couldn't sleep and would wake up screaming and would be inconsolable. She would start settling down about the time we had to let her go again. I was so happy when I was able to adopt her. So the family doctor we see now doesn't believe she has anything wrong. But We have an appointment. tomorrow to see him and mother in law is eager to go. (She likes to jump all over people who don't think I am doing a good job or don't believe.:winking:) We are really going because we found out at difficult child's school checkup that she is constipated back into her small intestine if I recall correctly. We gave her the medications but they said if she started having problems again that we should bring her back. I will look around for that book, it sounds VERY helpful. I have thought about keeping a journal, and have wondered about food allergies, especially since this constipation thing. I mean she eats square meals and everything so I don't see why she has this trouble. Oh, and she has been on Strattera before, but they had her at the highest dose the doctor wanted to give and I didn't see a difference. It worked for a bit and then it was like she wasn't taking it. We were on Adderall XR, it was working ok, but didn't seem like it was enough. The dr that perscribed it moved so we got a new doctor and the first thing he did was take her off and put her back on Strattera. No matter what I said. Sigh. I will let you all know how it goes.
