Oh, that drives me NUTS! ALWAYS look for physical causes first

(including illness, allergies, and reactions to medications), changes

in the environment/routine next, and THEN other causes for new

behaviors. Of course, I'm also the type of person who wouldn't target

a behavior like saliva swishing with a behavior plan unless the

parents REALLY wanted me to.

Oh poor kid!

Is something going on at school? Teasing or bullying

or something just being too hard? If she wont tell you

maybe a teacher or aide will.

Is it possible her hormones are going? At 82 pounds

it's unlikely she'll menstruate but that doesn't

always stop the hormones from " practice cycles " .

Strattera can cause weight loss, too, so that just

makes things lovely, huh? It CAN also cause anger but

hormones or frustration are more likely (in my

experience. I took it for over a year).

It's possible that she'll keep the conversation OFF

the medication...it might have been what her brain

needed at that time to make those gains, but she might

be " done " with it. So stopping the med doesn't

necessarily equal losing the gains...she is developing

still, after all.

Good luck to both of you,

I would defenely check for yeast or strepto.

There are some signs for yeast, like red cheeks and face, cracking

corner of lips, and easy brusing. There is testing available.

Strepto you can do a throat or anal culture. If it is strepto, there

are protocols to treat it, but the sooner the better.

Good luck with your daughter, and if you need information about the

testing I have the labs names.

Also, it can be that she is going through changes in her body, there is

testing for hormones too.

Thanks to everyone for your help...

Kayla actually hauled off and punched me in the face. I thought they might

have to take me away in a stretcher today at her dr's appt. Not because it

hurt, which it did and still does. She might have broken something. But

because I thought I might lose my mind. She pinched me a few times too. It

was horrible. Oh and the dr canceled on us and we had to see the PA (which

normally is fine and I usually like them better) but not today not when I

called and tell them we are in crisis mode. Then the fun started I demanded

to see the dr and they wouldn't let me. I eventually left to go to my dr's

appt and my mother in law stayed to make a followup appt. She had to yell

and cause a scene to get the appts we needed. One to actually see her dr

and the other for her to see a person to talk to. I am so po'd. Kayla's dr

saw us a few days ago and said just call and demand to talk to me and I will

fit you in - that didn't work and when he came out 3 times he never came

over to see why my mil was yelling at them.

Her throat looks good, she said her ears and throat feel good. It is

something bigger. I just want them to help and it seemed like I was asking

for the moon. I have never had this experience with the dr's office before.

I think it could be too much strattera for her weight and we are reducing it

immediately, I wanted to cold turkey her but with how she is behaving I am

not sure I should do that. I also think it could be hormones and something

at school.

Kayla did this once before she was about 8 and it was the first time she

realized she was different and she took it out on me physically. It didn't

last to long but at 8 she could lift me off of her. She is one strong lady.

Maybe I should enter in the strongest woman contests. Ha ha.

Thank you all so much for listening and advising. It really means alot to

me. I am at my witts end..

What an awful day!

May I ask how much Strattera Kayla takes? I was 21 and

took 40mg. Any more than that and all I did was cry

all the time. Cold turkeying off wasn't so hot either.

BLEH to doctors. I hope you get answers soon, you're

probably BOTH miserable.

Kassi-

She takes too much as of yesterday 60 mgs but within a week she will be down

to 40mg. After that I will re evaluate the whole thing.

I know we are both miserable. I am on a ton of pain killers right now (car

accident, fibromyalgia, nerve damage to one foot) and I can still feel the

pain in my face from where she punched me.

I just don't know what it is that is driving her nuts. I want to take all

the pain away from her, I would take in all on my shoulders if it were

possible. I just don't know what to do. She won't tell me what's wrong, so

she has an appt to talk with someone, hope she does talk.

Thanks for telling me that you don't think she will lose the conversation

skills. I hope you are right. She really isn't talking much lately.

I am so sorry that you have to be both dealing with

this. I would suggest letting her have the day off of

school for a bit here until you can figure out if it

is a school issue (if you can handle that) and get

your mil to help or something. The reason I say this,

is because after my 6 year old was acting like that

for quite some time and nothing else working, I asked

her if she wanted to do school with mommy at home? Her

eyes lit up and she began handflapping and she said,

" School with mommy, Yay " She repeated it about forty

times. I don't know what the problem at school was,

but since she couldn't tell me and it was messing up

our lives that bad, it was not worth it to me, to

force her to be there.

She has never acted out a day since then and I have

been homeschooling ever since. SHe has advanced a ton

and is already writing her name herself and learning

to read and she is only in Kindergarten. She is so

easy going and happy and we are really starting to

communicate together very well.

Good luck, and again, I am so sorry! But you sound

like a very loving mom and I know that you can keep

going, even if you don't know that. There have been

too many times that I thought I could not keep on

going and yet, I have. So take a deep breath, say a

prayer of have some quiet time and hopefully tomorrow

will be better, but if not, know you are not alone we

are here for you.

Ester-

Thank you for your support. It means alot to me to have you all reach out

to me. Thank you everyone. I would normally go to my mother with all this

but since she has passed in March, I really don't have anyone that

understands. I do have my mil but it's different.

I could let her stay home and she would like that. I would like to find out

what the problem is at school. I will be calling tomorrow to find out. If

I don't get a good answer I will show up or mil will. I don't want her to

suffer but I don't want to teach her that she should run. It really is

difficult. My son (17 in a few days) had a horrible bullying incident at

school last year and I as his mother wanted to beat the crap out the the

boys and shelter my son from any more bullying. But my brain knew that

wouldn't help him in the end. I had to encourage him to go. It about

killed me. I was a wreck. I cried and worried. He is doing better now. I

got way off point there, sorry. Anyway, I don't have the capabilities to

teach her at home. I don't think it would work well for her or me. The

only good thing, if it is school is we will be moving from Long Island to

South Carolina soon.

I think it's great that you have the ability to home school. I just don't

have the patience to do that. As I am typing this I just bit my mil's head

off. I have none left today. I keep hoping a massage therapist will

miraculously show up at my house, that would be such a stress reducer.

T- I agree with most that was posted. I have a 13 year old daughter

with autism. I also have a 19 year old TYPE 1 Diabetic. The diabetic

was diagnosed at 14 years old after losing 20 POUNDS! Please have

your doctor check blood sugar levels also. Watch her and see if she

is peeing in the middle of the night. Is she excessively thirsty all

the time? I hope for your sake that this is not the case. But I

wanted to mention this just in case.

On one more note, When AShley (13-ASD) was 9 years she started saying

she was a boy and cutting her hair to the roots. SHe also stated that

she had a penis. It was very severe and her behavior was atrocious! I

finally had enough and took her to the pychologist. He did a lot of

IQ testing and told me that she made a lot of progress and then

proceeded to tell me that because she was overweight, not blonde like

my other children, she could only relate to boys. She doesnt say this

very much at all anymore. We had to use behavior modification to

redirect these behaviors. The doctor also believed that she really

realized that she was not like everyone else. I also believe it too.

She has not started her period as of yet so I know it wasnt PMS or

anything.

Good luck! I wish you well!

T- I agree with most that was posted. I have a 13 year old daughter

with autism. I also have a 19 year old TYPE 1 Diabetic. The diabetic

was diagnosed at 14 years old after losing 20 POUNDS! Please have

your doctor check blood sugar levels also. Watch her and see if she

is peeing in the middle of the night. Is she excessively thirsty all

the time? I hope for your sake that this is not the case. But I

wanted to mention this just in case.

On one more note, When AShley (13-ASD) was 9 years she started saying

she was a boy and cutting her hair to the roots. SHe also stated that

she had a penis. It was very severe and her behavior was atrocious! I

finally had enough and took her to the pychologist. He did a lot of

IQ testing and told me that she made a lot of progress and then

proceeded to tell me that because she was overweight, not blonde like

my other children, she could only relate to boys. She doesnt say this

very much at all anymore. We had to use behavior modification to

redirect these behaviors. The doctor also believed that she really

realized that she was not like everyone else. I also believe it too.

anything.

I never thought about diabetes. It does run in the family. We are calling

in the am to have her tested. I never thought of that. Thank you

I really don't know much about diabetes. What type do you think she might

have?

T- It is a known fact that the common symptoms of TYPE 1 which is

INSULIN DEPENDENT is: 1) excessive thirst, 2) Excessive urination 3)

Weight loss despite increased appetite 4) fatique 5) abdominal pain

6) vomiting 7)absense of menstruation

all of these are at the following website.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000305.htm#Symptoms

Note that these are TYPE 1 and not TYPE 2. I am not as versed on

TYPE 2 and TYPE 3 (which is combination of both)

I could not tell you about what she really is. Only a blood/urine

test can really tell if she is passing keytones and her A1C is in the

range.

Let us know how it goes!
