I know it has been awhile since my last posting. Things have been very hectic in my life. My daughter has been diagnosed as having ADHD- combined, OCD, PDD-NOS, and a sensory disorder. We have been busy going to different doctor appointments. Our main goal is to get her the help she needs. Our insurance company does not make this easy. they refuse to pay for most of the things she needs for treatment because it does not involve the use of drugs.
I don't know why they wouldn't want to try other methods of treatment before shoving drugs down our throats. So back to my blog. I am going to be focusing more on her conditions and different treatments we try. We would like to share our journey to help others in the same boat.

About me
- Heather
- I have spent most of my adult life( and now that I think about it) my entire life dealing with anxiety. Anxiety controls my entire life. I am never sure from one day to the next if I will be able to leave the house or answer the phone. Now add in Fibromyalgia and I spend most days in constant pain. Sleep is something that I always crave but never am satisfied. I toss and turn all night trying to get comfortable. Restless Leg Syndrome adds to the joy of trying to get a good night's sleep. My hair is falling out hand-fulls at a time. Stress is a major cause of flair ups. I have a daughter with special needs that include Autism, ADHD, Mood d/o-nos, and Obsessive Compulsive tendencies. I am also the caretaker of my 95 yr old grandmother with mental health issues of her own. Stress is a major part of my life. I was diagnosed with PCOS 13 yrs ago. After having a hysterectomy I had hoped for improvement. Of course that did not happen. You all know what they say about if it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all, right? I have found writing to be therapeutic, and hope to help others by letting them know, they are not alone.
