[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 81770"] Well, you certainly have your hands full. I agree with Sharon and MWM that she needs to be reevaluated. Members of this board have had luck with neuropsychologists, as well as multi-disciplinary evaluations which are generally done at a Children's or University hospital. There is more info on the MDE's on the FAQ board. It's important to remember that these illnesses/disorders look different in children than they do in adults. In addition, a lot of these illnesses/disorders have overlapping symptoms or mimic another and determining one from another takes time and the right professionals. Now, as far as your health. Get to the doctor. Now. Your symptoms of chest pain and pain in your arms and neck caught my attention. You need to have your heart checked. It may very well be nothing more than anxiety, but this isn't something that should be ignored. I'm not trying to scare you, but any good doctor would tell you to do the same thing. It is sooo much better to be safe than sorry. It is the practice to rule out the most dangerous thing first. If your doctor doesn't listen or brushes you off, find another. I cannot stress this enough. If it is anxiety, that is treatable, too, either with medications and/or therapy. You know the airline oxygen mask analogy? We have to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of our children. It's very important to take time for yourself. To recharge your battery, so to speak. This journey is a marathon. Welcome to our little corner of the world. The people on this board are wonderful and there is a lot of knowledge here. [/QUOTE]
