Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean there is a problem with my logic(or the logic of many people on this board). Media attention CAN result in public outcry. Public outcry can influence politicians- with medical care/insurance coverage being increasingly influenced by government, public outcry could make a difference. Public outcry influences corporations, who are increasingly involved in funding studies. Mentally ill people are already stigmatized by society (crippling OCD is a mental illness, regardless of the cause).
 
I hear you trying to protect your child and I can appreciate that you've fought hard for her. Grant's mother wants to fight for him, too, and this may be a way for her to save him. And my viewpoint is colored by my experiences with my daughter-stigma is not even on the worry radar.

Agree w/ Beesknees, but would also do a rapid strep test and or culture.

Talk to your pharmacy. They can make a note stating she is to get a different generic from now on, though you will have to check in the bag before you leave every time to make sure they did not miss the note. Good luck.

I know everybody always says we should take care of ourselves so we can be good and strong for our kids...yada,yada. And that makes a lot of sense, but finding the time and energy to take care of myself has been hard- and you'd think me taking care of EVERYBODY else, somebody would step up to the plate and take care of me. Anyway, I've been a huge crankypants lately and whining and complaining and just irritated all the time. So, for mother's day, My oldest daughter (she's a mom, too) and I decided we'd play hooky from motherhood. We really didn't do anything special- just some shopping, some eating- saw a stupid movie...w/ no particular plan or time we had to be back by. I haven't had a day off since....well a very long time. It really, really did me good! I just feel very happy- all that irritating stuff in my life is kind of amusing now. And I appreciate my PANDA girl more, too!
