Thank you Rosa,
I feel worse for my son than I do for myself. He had problems all his life and wasn't diagnosed until he was 17. One of his worst symptoms was anger and anxiety. He was afraid of everything from toilet training to large crowds. He would "zone out" at school, and he was always so tired he would sleep for hours every day with his head on his desk, even though he slept at home. He would also vomit at random times, smell everything from crayons and glue to his hands, develop different nervous muscle tics, and he still battles extreme depression. He even saw a psychiatrist at Riley Hospital for Children whose huband is a doctor who treats children with my son's disease. But even she didn't know to suggest genetic testing. I hope ot get our story featured on "Mystery Diagnosis". I told them how they changed our lives and they sent me an application. Wish me luck!
