Anyway about a year ago they changed her to ADHD and Depression. Possible Asperger’s . There’s a class action suit going on about taking Tylenol while pregnant causing ADHD and Autism. That was the pain reliever my OB recommended.
Not that any of it will amount to any help to anyone effected but again down the road there is yet more health problems due to medications. I take soooo many for a variety of difficult health problems. I often think about weaning off everything and see what happened. Anyway
Hope everyone’s week has started off great

I'm sorry about your aunt, @
~Christina! I hope her treatments are very effective. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer when she was 65 and the doctors told the family she had mere months to live. But she beat it and lived another 16 years. She had been a smoker, too, but did stop after the dx.
My nephews were both diagnosed with Aspergers. Both had depression at times in their lives, and hospitalizations. My eldest nephew had also had an ADD diagnosis. I must say that I am extremely skeptical that Tylenol would have been the cause. I hope she will discuss her new dxs with her doctors before automatically believing such a theory. Either way, it sucks to have mental health challenges or have a child with them. Certainly the parents issuing the class action suit feel the same and wish they had a place to lay blame. Perhaps they even need money for the healthcare costs.
