So much to learn

Well yesterday Goose had a Dentist appt and Doctor appt and they both went bad. He now needs some dental work done (again) that means we go to operating room and be put to sleep. He has had dental issues since before he ever got teeth so this was no surprise. We have done well since we have put this off for 3 years just watching to see if he would lose the teeth and he has lost a couple. Then the doctor was our next adventure. I told the doctor Goose was regressing to being 2 years old again. Everything goes straight to the mouth. I was informed this was part of stemming (no I did not know this). Goose has actually chipped some of his teeth from chewing on items like video remote, remote to TV, etc. So the stemming is getting worse and I thought we were doing better. His heart rate is up and his blood pressure a little higher than normal. I am amazed at how much anxiety a 6 year old child can really have. The doctor informed me we may never know what he is thinking it could be anything. He worries about everything and anything always wanting to know what is next. He never stops always got to be doing something. Yes Goose suffers from ADD and I have known this for a long time but the older he gets the worse it is. Goose will be starting physical therapy on Monday and see if it helps with some pain he is having and the anxiety. I was informed that PT sometimes helps with anxiety in children so we are gonna try it and see if it works. I would try anything at this point just to give us both some relief.

Now my problem is I don't know what to do about Meds. The doctor is getting an appt with at Physciatrist but until then she suggested we might try an ADD medication. I would like to say I am totally against medicating children just to calm them down unless it is truly needed. I see my Goose as just that My Goose and he is the way God made him and I just deal with it but it is not about me it is about him and what will make his life easier. If any of you use medications and don't mind sharing your opinions and suggestions I would love to hear from you. Goose tells me all the time that he cant stop things in his head that it just wont stop. I cry every time he says this (you would have to see his face). I can see the frustration in his eyes and God knows I would fix it all if I could.

I need help here so Please if you can I am listening.
