Yes the his dr. is balking me. I have addressed issues with this man for 2 years now....his main answer is medications, medications, medications. medications are not a problem if that helps. There are days you couldn't tell that I even gave my son medications. And we have tried 4 different levels of aderrall, and two other brands.
Just a little on Dalton....he doesn't sleep. He is up during the night, on average he is up and about the house 3-4 times. Can't sleep in his bed, so it is the floor, the couch, sisters room, my room, kitchen floor.
He has a very high pain tollerance. He can be standing there bleeding from a fall, and doesn't phase him one bit. He will walk up and say "mom I am bleeding, I need a band-aid."
He is not retaining things he is learning in school. Today he can tell you his address, and tomarrow he can honestly not remember it. I have played games with him...thinking he was just not wanting to remember. He has a wonderful teacher. She is trying to help me get testing done through school system.
At age 4 he was sent for evaluation....that is when they said he had ADHD. Wasn't comfortable with that evaluation, so I ask for second opinion. Second dr. says "he may have ADHD but I think he has other issues too" So she sent us to a sleep dr. He tells us "unless your son is harming himself or someone else, we won't test him". URRGGGHHH
So now the dr.'s answer is to refer him to a Neurologist. We have an appointment, in June.
