[QUOTE="cindygirl, post: 31660, member: 1744"] When Al was younger my aunt would send me all these great emails about alternative methods then medication. They were all written by nutritionists and herbalists and would have all these psuedo scientific rationale on why they would work. I would talk to my mother on the phone (she was 3000 miles away) and tell her all the things that were going on with Al and what the school was saying etc. and she would tell her sister (aunt is a nurse). She had raised (worked full time, kids always at daycare, or gramma) 4 children and no one was better then her kids. During the school year Al was on Dexedrine but in the summer and on holidays Al came off her drugs and we just kept her really busy and did the best we could. So I flew home for 2 weeks in the summer. Al of course was off her medications and had been for 2 weeks. So my family got to see the real Al. We weren't there for 2 days and my aunt told us to get down to the hospital where she worked and she talked to the hospital pediatrician about getting her back on her medications for the rest of the 2 weeks we were there. So much for herbals or natural medications. After that I was still a bad parent and it was all my fault but they were now in agreement that Al "needed" her medications. So I know where you are coming from. We can only do the best we can and try to find the right answer for our child. What works for child x may hurt child y. [/QUOTE]
