Tylers-mum Report post Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) Just letting you all know that once again, I have proved those docs wrong! After 4 and a half years of fighting, he was finally dx with ADHD today and put on meds. (Atomoxetine) Soz this is brief but been one of those days today so I'm off to have an early night. Hope all is well with everyone. ~TM Edited September 11, 2006 by Tylers-mum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mossgrove Report post Posted September 11, 2006 TM You have been through more in the past few years than I could possibly imagine, but you are still there and still fighting. Well done for getting the diagnosis. Take some time to yourself, it's not easy even when you fought for it and expected it. We're here when you need us.

madme Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Hi. Well done but as the others say it can really hit you even if you were expecting it. Take time for yourself after the battle. Unfortunately the dx is just the beginning - but its worth it as you see them mature and realise that without the dx and without the right help and education they will have a v difficult life. Have you read the book by Ben Pollis- i find it cheers me up. Take care Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
