[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 254046"] I had an appointment in the same building as difficult child's pediatrician. He took over for his past retired pediatrician. I went in to ask if he could recomend an edocrinologist, but fell apart when describing what is going on. He took me into a room and sat next to me. He said he knows difficult child is so very bright and that can be a downfall. He said when he speaks to difficult child, difficult child understands what he is saying, he really gets it. He also said something very interesting. Like difficult child looking up symptoms of diseases and think he is dying...pediatrician said, most medical students go through this. As they are studying diseases they realize OMG - I have that. Over and over. He said the fact is that all of us have a little Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a little anxiety, a little depression, but we need to know the facts. Just because there could be one symptom it doesn't mean you have that. There are 100's of things with the same symptoms. The one edocrinologist on my insurance, in this town.. the pediatrician said he doesn't think he works with kids, only adults. He said he will call him and see if he will see difficult child then call me back. He sat by my side and talked to me for a good 30 minutes. And he will call for me. sigh. [/QUOTE]
