Re: WOW…….. I feel understood…

Thanks for sharing, Bob. <hug>

I’m just feeling overwhelmed by it all. My biggest concern is finding the RIGHT doctor…

Is there a referral list of some kind?

We are in the Montreal region… big city… so I’m “hoping” that one of the good doctors is nearby?

For my daughter?

For myself…..I”m not sure what I would do if I was diagnosed. If I would try the pills or not. If I did, would I stay on them. I struggle just to remember to take my meds for my arthritis (I’m only 38). As for losing weight, I’m only 115lbs to begin with.. so that wouldn’t be a healthy option.

For my daughter.. she is a VERY healthy eater and we promote healthy food in this house. I already struggle trying to coerce my 6yr old to eat… who’s as thin as a rail (like her mom). My 8yr old is a nice average size (ok, taller than most) but definately not a chubby child.

I’m not sure how I feel about the weight loss side-effect….. and gosh knows how many others.

That’s another worry.

side-effects………And I certainly don’t want to stunt her growth. Or is that a myth?

I just don’t know…. so much information, yet so many questions unanswered. ADD/ADHD is a very confusing thing.
