Bec,

I know that feeling very well. PTSD is like taking my ADHD symptoms and taking them to the nth degree. I guess it's no wonder that it wasn't until my symptoms got so bad that they were out of control for me to realize that this was something out of the ordinary for me.

What I don't understand (and maybe you've discussed this somewhere else) is if he's been diagnosed with PTSD why are they looking for other issues instead of dealing with this one? I mean, come on, we all know that once the PTSD symptoms get under control so many other things fall into a 'much easier to deal with' place.

Did you ask them if the meds they're putting him on are for, possibly, both sets of symptoms? I don't know if such a creature exist...but you never know.
