[QUOTE="LoonyAlana, post: 617015, member: 17555"] Sorry you've gone through that, Nancy! Yes, my husband just sees hospitalization as a big, negative, life-changing (in-a-bad-way) thing that he WILL NOT agree to. At least at this point, without getting a second, or third, (or more) opinion. It's going to be an uphill battle, although overall I am lucky that my husband is (in general) supportive and loving... just isn't overly fond of doctors and hospitals and what-not. As I mentioned in my previous reply, we've seen a neurologist (it's how we got the severe ADHD diagnosis) but I'm not overly happy with him. However, trying to find a pediatric neurologist that is covered by my insurance is no easy task (let alone getting an appointment.)
