[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 84366, member: 1991"] I think we're dealing with two separate problems here, superimposing. Her basic behaviour patterns, non-hormonal, ARE getting worse and I think she needs not just a psychologist but medication. And from what the doctor was asking, she thinks so too. Then there is the hormonal stuff - easy child 2/difficult child 2 has been getting breakthrough bleeds half way through each Pill cycle for several months. So the doctor changed her prescription and now the bleed (mild, thank goodness) hasn't stopped for six weeks (found out at doctor's today). So despite the ongoing bleed, the doctor insisted on doing a Pap smear today and wants the ultrasound done urgently. She says this bleed is not hormonal, considering the time and t he Pill dosages, there is something else there needing investigation. And easy child 2/difficult child 2 has top remember to tell the doctor, that this Pap smear, and the previous one (her first, two years ago) both hurt for some time afterwards. She's just handed me the test order forms, asked me to go ahead and book her for Wednesday after all (she had wanted to stay home - it means another trip "to the mainland" on her day off) so she accepts the need to get this checked out urgently. So, two problems - with maybe some crossover, but the underlying behaviour/anxiety/moodiness are pre-existing, they may be getting aggravated by hormonal changes but are a separate problem nevertheless. I just wish someone would really take us seriously and check her out for Asperger's, properly. And she wants it checked out too. She's basically a very cooperative kid, when she's not throwing a tantrum, slamming doors or giving any of us a l-o-n-g lecture on any one of a number of total irrelevant topics (or even slightly relevant). ho hum. We'll get there. But thanks for all the ideas, you guys are great at brainstorming. husband said he's been going through all your posts too, he hasn't posted himself because so far he's agreeing with everything. And he also values all your inputs. Marg [/QUOTE]
