Hi all,
I am looking for help to see if anyone might have dealt with what I am dealing with. yes I do live where there are tics!

he is now 13 years old

1- son was normal pregnacy
2-slow at speech, other deveolopement fine
3-sweet loving youngster
4-had a little trouble in early school years
5-around 8 years old, BIG time change. One had to do with an incident, but since so many things started.

I have had him hospitalized three times, they come up with
ADD, OCD, ODD, DBD ETC....A;sp stated maybe high functioning autisim. (reason for first visit to Dr. B in rhinebeck (sadly there is bi polar on his paternal side)

He is actively now only on Abilify.
He was on Ritilan that did help a little, but stopped.

So this sweet sweet child, went from sweet to like having quintuplets in one body...he is a handful.

*troubles remembering, focusing, using logical means to sort and organize.
*complains of pains, back, legs, stomach etc.
*sweet and defiant, more defiant.

I had him to Dr. B office in Rhinebeck NY, where with many different blood tests I found that 70-75 percent of my son was totally normal, and the other percentages had to do with brain function such as his neutrons and electrons....

Anyone think some of the above problems can be Lymes associated? Also possibily causing other diagnosis?
Please let me know if you have had these type of concerns and my best ways to go about getting a GOOD testing for possiblity of lymes.

Also big financial issue and I know must of these doctors ie Dr. B do not take insurances, he has insurance but of the 3,000 plus I was charged I got back about 156.00! [bonk]

Thanks so...
Mom at witsend.

Hi Imahaz,

Did you take a look over in the "Seeking a Doctor" section? There are other posts of people seeking docs in NY. You can get a little bit of feedback by reading those also.

I don't know if your son needs to see a Psychiatrist LLMD, rather than for example an Internal Medicine LLMD, which Dr H in Hyde Park is, for instance.

Hopefully, other patients and parents here who've had psychiatric problems can tell you which is better if the symptoms are overwhelmingly psychiatric.

Then again, you said your son also complains of physical complaints, like pain in various places, etc, so an Internal Medicine MD (LLMD) may be able to address both those issues.
