Back from the doctors. Not sure if we accomplished much. She saw a doctor I have never spoken with before. He asked WHY we were there. Several times I told him that when I called the office THEY recommended that I bring her right in. Let's just say his bedside manner could not have stunk more. I was not intimidated. I kept reminding him that her real doctor suggested that I keep in touch with them anytime I have concern.

The results were her BP a little high and perhaps a smaller dose of Paxil.(Which I don't think is helping her at all!!) I mentioned that I have read a lot about Paxil and its adverse reaction with teens. That's when he suggested weaning her off.

I still say she had another mini-stroke. I have put a call in to speak with her real doctor.

Molly, in February she had a complete physical, blood work, scan, etc.

Dang doctor wanted me to think I'm the one who is sick for being concerned!
