You all have given me some serious things to think about. What is most frustrating for me is the Dr's inability to effective diagnose B. She seems to vaguely fit into many areas, but there isn't one "dianosis" that is a perfect fit. Her psychologist probably said it best when she said that psychology is "at it's best an art and not so much a science".
I have had to look inside myself and actually see some of the same traits B has, just not so pronounced. I only want my daughter to be happy - and as Dr. Phil says, if it's not working try something different!
Another frustration I have is the Dr.s not calling back! B has had severly blurred vision since starting Geodon last week. I finally had her quit taking it and her vision cleared up, but her Dr. never did return my call. I'm finding my gut instinct w/ my daughter is worth every bit of their education! Not to knock pdocs, I truly respect them; but I'm being reminded that they are only human.
We have some big decisions ahead of us - she is flunking 6th grade, and we need to do something about her schooling. I pray we make the right decisions.
Thanks for your input!
