[QUOTE="totoro, post: 69254, member: 3155"] Be pushy!!! I have asked for blood work etc so many times only to be told, "oh she doesn't need that" I asked the same things as you... what about this or that... and got the same responses. She is not showing signs of a thyroid issue or siezures or anything... I would say but what if and shouldn't we be safe, than sorry. I finally with my last psychiatrist demanded a complete blood work up, I figured this was a start! She said well if you want it, I guess we can do that. We did and nothing abnormal, but I know that now! Now her psychiatrist3 after spending 4weeks with her I asked a couple of times should we consider looking into any brain scans or seizure possibilities??? I listed off why I thought maybe... he actually said that would be a good idea!!! Now granted he is in the middle of chabging offices and very busy so I have to remind him on Monday now!!! I got our nueropsych evaluation referral from our pediatrician. and I also took the blood work up to our pediatrician so it would be in her office and done in her office, since I like her and did not like psychiatrist!!! pediatrician finally agreed that blood work was a good idea at this point in time!!! This has taken a year to get these things pushed through... lots of pushing!!! We did not get a MDE but have gone to different places to get each thing done. We have a wonderful center here that does nuero-psychiatric evaluations. As for someone telling you, we can find something wrong if we look... I have been told that so many times and find that SO insulting!!! My reply now, when I bother is, "Yes we can, but I am talking about things that cause your child to cease to function in "society", the kinds of things that cause your child to not function on a daily basis and if you ever witness this or live with it you would know what I was talking about and would never question someone with a special needs child." I also say, "I would never wish what goes on in my childs head on anyone elses child ever, so I hope you never have to truly know what I am talking about" That usually is about enough... one of my other favorites is, "It is easy to sit and read all about these kids, but to actually live and see the suffering on a daily basis with your own child, that is so much more than any book" Keep pushing... you will get help!!!
