Re: Home from school now - Thanks EVERYONE

[Guest guest]

Didn't try Mg, but I do give reg vitamins and fish oil. Thanks, I'll keep that

in mind. I'm hoping that our therapist will come through with a psychiatrist for

us who is nationally known and specializes in anxiety. If not, I'll have to go

to Columbia or NYU - I don't have anything else for a second opinion in the

least.

Thanks so much to all of you. What a comfort to have someone to bounce ideas

off and find new considerations....update later
