Karen,
What about asking your pDoc for a consult with one of the experts at UCHSC there to help you sort out what is going on? I may not be back to my computer for a while, so will give you a couple of names. I drive 250 miles one way for an opinion from these docs every once in a while. Steven Dubovsky and Jay Carlson. Dr. Dubovsky only consults, since as he is the department head. It usually takes a couple of months to get an appointment. There is always the possibility of a dual type diagnosis of ADD/Bipolar. Those two can be difficult to differentiate. They say the ADD kid drives off the road because they're not paying attention. The one with bipolar drives off because they don't care whether they live or die. I have an ADHD family member and have bipolar myself. Good docs are happy to help with a consult, particulary when the diagnosis is in question.From the other side of the big hill,
Chris A.
