Many Naturopathic Physicians and some medical doctors trained in either Environmental Medicine or Functional Medicine may be very helpful for you.  You can find a list of Functional Medicine docs at the website for the "Institute of Functional Medicine" (just do a web-search for that name to get the website).\n\nThese types of doctors will work with you to identify and correct the underlying biochemical imbalances that are causing your symptoms.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

There is a good one in Midlothian. It is not that far from Chicago Heights. Maybe 30 mins. His name is Dr. Erlinder. (he is located on 147th street and Pulaski straight down I57 for you) I have gone to him for years. He is VERY good. He will also not do anything that he does not think you need. Explain to him what you need and he'll help you out.\nContact me if you need more info.

I had to have one done and my family Dr told me who to go to. Actually my Dr's office not only told me who I should go to but made the appointment for me. So ask your Dr.

Your doctor may have suggestions on professionals in your area.  Also > ask a local special education teacher... they may be able to assist you in finding out if there is a specialized person in your area.  Good Luck!!

I'm surprised that your doctor can't provide any answers. Is this a your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist? Your primary care doc may not have the best information, but if it's your psychiatrist, geez... \n\nGo back and get more specific. Ask for options or reading material. Do a Web search (www.webmd.com is a good place to start), and get your own information. Sometimes you have to take charge of your own care. \n\nYou also should ask the school about adaptive teaching for you. This is a disability and they can make accommodations. My son has ADHD and needs extra time to complete papers becuase he has trouble focusing. He also takes his exams with a headphone playing classical music. It helps keep him from getting distracted by other things in the classroom. \n\nGood luck, and I wish I could offer more insight. I know there are medications for this, but you already may be taking them. One key is to take them all the time. People with bi-polar disorder tend to drop the meds when they're in the "good mood" phase.

Get a second opinion, and not from a neurologist at the same hospital.  If the second neurologist confirms, you might want to get a psychiatrist's opinion as well - not suggesting mental illness, they just specialize in different aspects of brain functioning and should be willing to work with the neurologist.  The psych would also be the best resource if depression and anxiety are setting in.  You'll definitely want someone quite knowledgeable about drug interactions.

I've worked in a few mental health places, & unfortunalty, this is usually the case.   A psychiatrist is usually VERY busy, overbooked & does not always get back to a person as they should.  Be sure to check around of other Dr's in your local area as well & call them if this Dr. does not get back to you, but I would try at least 2 more times this week & leave persistant messages.  If no go, then call other places, ask around people you met there.   Also, your Primary Care Doctor, someone in the area, or your former PCP can call in at least 1 month of your meds for you until you get into to see a new psychiatrist.  It's a hard battle, I know, but you will get through this.  Good luck:)

you should explain to your regular doctor that this is causing you and your family extreme distress and get him to recommend a good reputable specialist.
