[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 622446, member: 17269"] Lucy, my difficult child often goes to the emergency rooms, usually with things that never end up with a diagnosis--anxiety, shortness of breath, "overdose" that isn't an overdose... (often his friends say he had a seizure). He has had CT scans, x-rays, blood work, and the occasional psychiatric admission but never physical admission. I think it is just an expression of feeling the out of control or fearful or needing to be cared for. My son often takes ambulances (usually called by his friends) and is usually accompanied by some new, concerned, difficult child yound woman who calls me or introduces herself as "like a sister". Unlike a sister, though, they are usually gone after a few weeks, never to be heard from again. I think our difficult children can't cope with the world, don't really understand it, and similarly don't really understand their bodies. They are afraid of illness and pain, and over react. And, at least in my difficult child's place, I think he likes the attention. I also would have rushed to the hospital or at least glued myself tot he phone a few years ago. Not anymore. This is a good one. We all need to put THAT in our wallets and read it from time to time. Yours in difficult child parentland... Echo [/QUOTE]
