You sound frustrated. So sorry.

Join the club!

I am also sorry to hear your GP isn't helping you with the situation.

I am not sure what you want us to do to help at this point?

You said..

"I have even heard of an 80 year old lady who has a lot of money, and has tried everything and still is not well. She has spent a fortune . . . scary to think that could be me."

Yes.. it is true.. money can't always buy happiness or cures.

And no offense to folks who are older.. but especially someone 80 years old who is chronically ill... no matter how much money they spend... they may not feel like they are 25 years old again.

It is called "life"... and sometimes we have to deal with the hand we've been dealt. Like it or not... sad to say.

You said..

"Just angry, and unwilling to put my kids through this if it is not necessary!"

I am sorry I don't understand what you don't want to put your kids through.

You being sick? Or them going to ducks? Or you or them going to a LLMD?

If you could elaborate on that comment.. perhaps we could come up with some suggestions.

By the way.. noticed I used a BIG word in that last section? "Elaborate".

I hope I spelled it right...

Hey tutu... or my favorite spell checker, Charlie.... what's the verdict on the spelling?

~smile~

Anyhow... please let us know how we can help.

We will be happy to try.

For me it is totally worth it to at least try for my daughters sake.

They both have problems. I would say the 7yr old is the worst. I think I am seeing some imporovement so far. She is just in her 2nd week of meds. She has major "ADHD" symptoms.

I understand the frustrations.....believe me I do, but at least try. I would not give up before 6 months of meds, at least. Especially for your child. He/she deserves it!
