[QUOTE="jal, post: 383913, member: 3477"] My difficult child started blood draws around age 4, as a result of exhibiting a symptom of leukemia (luckily, that was not the diagnosis). Since then he's been going due to medications...it's never been an issue, he hops up and throws out an arm and he's good to go. They do have numbing creams that can be applied before the needle (this is how his first one was done). You can ask the lab ahead of time if they offer it, or you may be able to get a rx from your dr. My difficult child is diagnosis'd ADHD & Mood. He never did well on ANY stims...we trialed them ALL. The psychiatrist would want to go up, we would try it and the aggression and anger were unbelievable. We had a great breakthrough using Prozac. Our difficult child also did not exhibit signs of depression. He's not perfect, but he's A LOT better. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
