It has been a while since I posted but things have been crazy! Whats new right?
In an answer to my last post someone asked me if difficult child could possible be fetal alcohol syndrome. The answer is yes! He difinately can be, his bio. mother did drugs, drank and was in a abusive relationship while she carried him.
The doctors all know this but has never said anything about it; I'm wonder why you asked. I have cross referenced the symptoms and behaviors of the two and there are a lot of similarities. Is the treatment for the two the same? Should I be mentioning the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) to our doctor again? Do you know something I need to know?
Things have been so bad for us lately I am grasping at straws.
difficult child is down to 3 medications from 7. One is still thorazine which I am going to ask be changed tomorrow during a phone consult with our doctor. I have researched it since some of you said you didnt like it. You were right, difficult child is having problems that seem to be being caused by the thorazine.
Does anyone know if a medication. wash can be done in a reg. hospital and how long they take? difficult child cant handle the phyc. hospital. due to seperation anxiety and trust issues. But I would really like to just start over. He has been on soooooooo many medications at a time since he was 4 (he is now 9).
I often wonder if he wouldnt be better without medications, are they just mixing in him and making him like this? I know he has problems but can they really be this bad?
We are going nuts, I would appreciate any and all advice or info. you have.
I also want to say THANKS TO YOU ALL! Before I had a place to ask question I felt so lonely and all on my own. Now I have friends to ask who truely care and know what I am going through. I appreciate you all very much. I may not post much but I read everything on here and have learned so much! I really appreciate the leads to other sites that are helpful.
Thanks everyone,
