[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 703270, member: 18958"] I looked online for a company that did this genetic testing. This one company did offer the possibility of financial assistance for eligible people. My son has taken very, very expensive drugs for a medical condition. Like thousands of dollars a month. When he lived with me, my insurance paid most of it. When he was not with me for the short time he took the drug--unfortunately he stopped--he paid nothing. His Hepatologist was involved with the manufacturer and filled out paperwork for people who could not afford the drug, and they got it free. This is something these companies do to stay in good stead with the government. Kind of like free AIDS drugs Africa. They preserve the pipeline of big money by giving away a small portion of their product for either free or cheap. You are going to think I am a whack job here. But I am thinking of the series they did on CNN about medical marijuana--which I am so, so against, because of the abuse by kids such as our own. But there was a strain of marijuana developed by marijuana growers (legal) in Colorado called Charlotte's Web because it did not have the high-making properties. What is that called? THC? The strain only had medicinal properties. You do not get high at all. There was a little girl named Charlotte who was tortured by seizures with which nothing helped. Until this marijuana. Her seizures reduced greatly in intensity and in frequency--with this marijuana medication. Other children, now, are benefiting from this--for a variety of ailments and issues. The people who developed this, the manufacturers, I believe donated this. I mention this not because I believe your child will benefit from marijuana, but because these parents, Charlotte's parents were desperate, too. They were besides themselves. They watched their child dying from these seizures. Suffering. They tried everything. And because they were desperate, they tried even more things--even outrageous things--and lo and behold, one desperate, crazy thing worked. The thing is this: Nobody here on this forum can tell you what is wrong or what is happening with your child, or what will fix it. But sometimes kids act out, because something is happening to them (or happened to them) either internally or in their environment that they do not understand, or put words too. And sometimes they blame themselves for being bad, and they act this out too. Nobody knows yet, whether or if your child may be suffering from something neurological-like mini-seizures to which she cannot speak or put into words, or even may not be aware. It is not likely, but it is possible. That is why the more diagnostic measures obtained, the better. [/QUOTE]
