[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 312825"] Melinda, It so good that you are taking careful note of how B. reacts to his medications and also what the teachers are seeing. This is good information for the doctors. No doubt additional testing needs to be done and changes in dosages or perhaps an add on medication might be needed. It takes time, but finding a caring intelligent and patient psychiatrist is a real blessing. How wonderful that you are going to therapy and perhaps in time, your husband would consider couples counseling if you feel it would be helpful. Please do your best to socialize...just get out of the house now and again. Honestly, it will strengthen you personally and strengthen your marriage. Sure, you wont be able to do as much as the next person and it will take extra work, but it is still very much worth it. Love that you are getting that book! It's a keeper! Read it carefully! You might want to see if there is a CHADD group meeting in your area. Your son might not have this exact diagnosis, but mom's with kids with ADD/ADHD know about children who struggle in school and the support would be really helpful for you. When you are certain of a diagnosis, perhaps you will look for another group. However, you can get some really good general information and support here.

You might consider paying one of them to come to your house and tutor B. one or two hours a week to relieve you of the job and to help him feel better about his school work. Visualize yourself going to Austrailia...buy yourself a calendar with- photos. Might not be for 10 years...but make it a goal to get there! [/QUOTE]
