[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 459092, member: 1233"] The neuro I was talking about was a neurologist. We have seen three different ones since seh was diagnosis'd with absence epilepsy in 4th grade. First doctor was incredible - rated top neuro (not top pediatrician neuro, top neuro) in the state several times, nationally well respected, and he stopped seeing us because he dropped our ins co and would not take cash patients (for health stuff I don't give a koi about conflict with my mom - and neither does she - she and my dad and husband's folks would pay enormous sums to anyone who would help and I would go begging in the street if needed to get the cash.). Next we saw a pediatrician neuro who first seemed very motivated to help and then suddenly was "not interested" - his words. Then I find a neuro who specializes in movement disorders in kids who is actually in our state at the kids' hospital. make that appointment and get pushed off on another psychiatrist who only treats migraines. After almost a year of treating Jess he suddenly had a "brainstorm" that it could be a movement disorder (what I had been asking for testing on all along). he sent us to Dallas for four days where they decided that since she had a normal EEG "off lamictal" - only off by about twelve HOURS - that she had no epilepsy or other problems. And since she could go do an activity for thirty minutes, her problems were all psychiatric. My instincts do NOT read this as psychiatric, we have seen several tdocs and psychiatrists who ALL agree - with ME. But EVERY medical doctor wants to tell me it is a psychiatric problem. We even saw a neuropsychologist who based his diagnosis of psychiatric probls as a cause on a ten min discussion and a one page report that some bimbo therapist wrote after exchanging names with Jessica and saying a couple of sentences to me while we were in a room with another doctor and his rn and 3 or 4 medication students. The therapist who wrote the report based it on NOTHING, quite literally. But I cannot get it removed and most docs take it as gospel even with records from psychiatrists and other tdocs who all disagree. We went to the psychiatrists because until we did no one was going to believe it wasn't that, even though my gut screams somthing is wrong. in my opinion that mom instinct is a zillion times more reliable than any medical degree. So that is why the psychiatrist/therapist stuff was done. Right now even the neuro who saw her is not willing to treat her migraines - and it was the ONLY thing he treated! [/QUOTE]
