[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 304005, member: 2322"] totoro you are truly a warrior mom--to have moved where you can get supports is testament to you doing everything you can. For right now you have hte best diagnosis you can have. You hit the nail on the head--you have an extremely complex child who may continue to evolve and present differently over time. All one can try to do is address the symptoms as they appear. Ten years from now they will probably have some new diagnosis that will fit her to a T, who knows. The field is still in its infancy. I am so glad you have such a knowledgeable psychiatrist. I would hope that she is reaching out to her colleagues as they talk about their difficult cases. Just be systematic, which you are. Many of us with less complex kiddos took a number of years to hit on the right combo of medications. Sad but true. Also don't be afraid to dial back on school if that is a major contributor. At this point I think having a decent quality of life for K is a respectable goal--if that means no homework shorter school days or whatever then do it. I know you are already in that camp. I just hope you are taking care of yourself, because these kids of yours are so lucky to have you doing all that you do to give them stability and peace and love and positive supports. The toll on us parents is immense. Hugs again. P. [/QUOTE]
