[QUOTE="Star*, post: 263063, member: 4964"] Hi - I did not know one small person could have so many co-morbid diagnosis's. I'm so sorry for her and you. I think Smallworld gave you some fantastic advice. My son (now 18) has also been in numerous hospitalizations, group homes, been on 65 medications, combos of same, Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s multiple alphabet soup - how can you diagnosis a person with BiPolar (BP) at 6? kinda questions went through our minds too. At some point many times - we were told to consider our lives without the possibility of him ever being a productive part of society. Like you, we too said - there is a way to reach him - we just haven't found it yet. For years we tried, and oddly enough when we finally admitted defeat and began our roll as parents who were detaching - he started to turn around. I have a friend who's sister has been diagnosis schizophrenic. She was unmanageable and spent years in and out of hospitalizations, was violent, drug addicted and so out of control it seemed a lost cause. She now is on medication and some herbal supplements (they found out she has a gluetin/casein allergy) and she's well enough to drive, babysit and helps out at their church. Nothing short of a miracle there. You can learn how to do a therapeutic hold (we had to). I have had my nose broken twice from his rages/fits. Recently due to sinus problems my doctor asked how I broke my nose - she was nearly pale when I told her. But I figure if you haven't had a life like ours you're less sympathetic and empathetic to others going through the life we live every day. I'm glad you found us, and I'm very curious to find out what is going on - you said she had an MRI and it was normal.....so I would guess they were looking for something organic......DO you suppose there is a crossover - in her medications? Something maybe doesn't get along/added recently? Wish I had something more concrete for you other than been there done that - but always here to listen. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
