[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 157831, member: 3444"] Sara, he still has the shakiness when I wake him to take medications. And he shakes still now. Ask him to pick up a stack of laundry and he's jerky. Watch him try to use a fork and he's jerky. The movement problems have been there since he was a preschooler/toddler. They suddenly got worse in the fall of 4th grade, when nothing else had changed. And the mood problems seemed to evolve in relation to that timing. It's very confusing. He's seen two pediatricians, two psychiatrists, four psychologists, and one neuro. I'm about ready to fly him up to Stanford to see a peds movement disorder specialist because I feel like everyone's playing darts with his symptoms and their approach to treatment. I realize the diagnosis is a rare disorder and there isn't a lot of research on it. So that's part of the problem to finding a fix. It seems like once we get one problem addressed, another one takes its place. Maybe we try another medication wash, only longer this time, over the summer... That was really hard to go through last time... [/QUOTE]
