[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 72739, member: 47"] My SO has an alergic reaction to certain type of medications - so we made a little card which lists them, and on it is a list of medications/doses he takes. We carry them around like business cards, handing them out to new docs, paramedics. Maybe you can do the same once you find out what he is alergic to, and make sure that the teacher, cafeteria workers have one. If you do get the doctor to rx a epipen, make sure you have two, one for home and one for the school nurse. I can imagine at 7 its a real hard call to pass up a piece of cake, difficult child or not. I went thru a phase with my difficult child who could not tolerate chocolate (and sugar, but chocolate was the worst) - it was immediate bouncing off the wall time. It was almost like a high to him, he stole chocolate, spent his lunch money before school on chocolate and sugar stuff- he knew he couldn't have it, but it didn't matter. I could tell from walking in the door, after having to leave the office and fly down the freeway home because he was out of control, that he had chocolate. And sure enough, with a little hunting, would find those wrappers. That ssdd went on for a few YEARS -no amount of punishment would work to stop him. I tried giving his lunch money to the cafeteria so he didn't have any to buy the stuff, but he still got ahold of it via his friends. Now its really rare for him to even eat chocolate - he just doesn't like it, and a few spoons of sugar in his coffee doesn't do a thing. Maybe once you find out what he is allergic to, the doctor can sit him down and explain why he cannot eat certain stuff to get you off the hook as the mean mom. And then again, one whack with an epipen may drive the point home. Good luck with this problem - I know how frustrating it can be Marcie [/QUOTE]
