In fact, I have an appointment with my doctor in about a week so I can go to my "baker."<br /><br />I am in the same boat as you when it comes to worrying about flaring symptoms.

Maybe I just want to understand my son so much. Yes, I've been to NAMI. We are still looking for the right medicine and he's out of control most of the time.
