[QUOTE="RWHangel, post: 305815, member: 7842"] You are not bombarding me lol. I didn't go into much detail about her but I will now I guess. As for a good psychiatrist is there such a thing? She has been to 4 and all of them jumped the gun in my opinion and wanted to start her off on anti convulsents. I am a medical assistant by trade so this didn't fly over very well with me. I did get her to one that was willing to work with me on what medications to give and what not to but in the end I hated his staff so we are currently on the search again for another one. As for tests I wont bore you all with the tests she has taken but she has seen several speicalists to rule out medical conditions or causes including a neurologist and an endochronologist. All her tests came back normal except a slight elivation in steriods in her system which could be attributed to steriod medication that she has been on since just before birth due to lung problems. She is seeing a wonderful Psychologist though and that has been a God send. She is in school (well not right now she is still in partial hospitalization) but she has been in school and currently has a 504. The school is going to work on a re entry plan to get her back into the grove of school. She has not had an EEG yet but I do think that will be the next step we head for. Right now though we are focusing on the puberty issue.
