Thanks Blackcat. Honestly, i do love hearing medication success stories. So please feel free to remind me often how much it has helped your child. Because I WILL try meds if I get the go-ahead from his private eval and the opinon is it could help a lot. Dr. Barkley really gave me hope when he said if your kid's gonna have something then ADHD is the better thing to have because the meds are good and most (90% I think he said) repond well to them (with the right tweaks). Some EDSers I have talked to said ADHD meds helped them and even seemed to help with their EDS (maybe the brain fog, the fatigue, etc that is also attributed to EDS). BUT my fear is that I don't want to give him meds for a disorder that he doesn't have. I want to make sure he really has it at a high evenough level that warrants a try with medication.
