My cry to Wake Us UP!

I’ve been a reading/researching -machine- again.

Tired of all the diagnoses and new med suggestions, hardly any patience left and worried what will come out out of my mouth when I hear “let’s try this new medication out, maybe this one will help” from the harsh fear and experience that I’ve gained in the past 11 years.

How can the multitude of new meds that arrive on the market rapidly, prescribed by specialized educated individuals be allowed to our children? What the hell is wrong with the FDA by approving so many meds with out long term scientific testing and pushing Doctors paychecks?? Is a buck really the most important?? In my opinion, these drugs get pushed through with the right creative scientific description. Commercials that tell you why you need a drug or your loved one needs this drug- coaching you through TV, billboards, magazine ads, pens, etc…. how to talk to your DOCTOR??? MAKES ME SICK!!! Isn’t that ironic??

As a parent having a child with special needs of almost 11 years; I’ve tried to keep my mind open, stay strong, sadly I’ve learned to play the systems game. I’ve stayed educated and tried to keep up with the information given and other parents advice through medical journals, blogs and every other resource I can get my hands on and STILL have not found quality care for Christian. It’s incredibly heartbreaking and wreaking havoc on my daily outlook.
Christian is a beautiful, bright, radiant soul who has struggled and suffered more than anyone I have met or known because of the POS medical and political system we now all live with today.
This was not his choice, this was done to him.
An innocent life badly effected by a corrupt system that is getting worse by the day. Myself being young and ignorant at the time- I trusted that the doctors knew best and that they would take care of us. That statement for me is now rare and nightmarish when absorbed or spoken.

There is a real, frightening, epidemic happening right now!
Too many innocent kids with too many issues because of the lack of care/education/resources/

professionalism/and heart!!!
Where do these kids find help? Where do we as parents find answers? How do we raise our children to be moral/true/valued human beings in a world like this??

I have not been able to land a steady job or work toward a career in over 4 years and I’m completely capable of making a good, honorable living because I haven’t found daycare and the schools hands are tied with so many legalities.
Doctors used to help the sick. Schools used to educate the public. We had laws set for humanity so that everyone could have a chance. Those don’t seem to exist anymore and as of today, my body physically has run out of tears.

Where do we go from here?
