[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81713, member: 1233"] Until you are at a therapeutic level, which it will take a long time to get to, you won't see this effect. In this case, who is prescribing her medications? A psychiatrist (with the md) I hope and not a regular pediatrician. It may be time to find a doctor who deals with eating issues. I would also recommend a consult with a pediatric endocrinologist. This is a doctor who would look at the levels of all her blood chemistry, hormones, etc... She may very well have hormone issues contributing to this. I know firsthand how hard it is to have the hoarding and hiding and binging of food. My oldest did it and it was horrible. I also remember the screaming and violence. Do you have respite services, or any plan for when she is raging? It sounds asif she maybe heading toward violence toward you. Inpatient treatment is in order then, Do you have anyone who can help you get her to a hospital when she is raging? You cannot do it alone. If you do not, please call 911 for an ambulance. She is probably a very strong young lady and when out of control she may hurt you, herself, or others. It is time to have a chat with the head of Special Services for the school district. If that many children are havign weight issues, then it may need to be a rule that the entire class may not be allowed junk food treats. Otherwise, let a weekly treat at school pass if you think you can stand it. It may be the ONLY way the teachers can motivate the children. Sending hugs and hope that soon you will get it figuredc out. Can you provide a stash of inexpensive toys from garage sales, home, wherever to supply this teacher? The year my son was in the ED class I provided many toys to the treat box. I knew it kept my kid in line, and many of the others. I also knew that the school was not buying the treats, the teacher was. As for the neighbors, I don't think you can do much but keep asking. Of course there will be some idiot who thinks you are starving her. School and daycare need to see a prescription for a diet for her. Then they are required to follow it, IF you think this is the best time to address this. I am NOT in any way saying it isn't, just that you have to pick your battles sometimes. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
