Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I apprecialte them greatly. Sorry that I didn't respond until now. I don't have a computer of my own. I have to use my son's. It isn't always available. Plus I was very busy last week trying to figure out what to do and making arrangements. I looked up the Grabroad right after I posted. I wasn't sure if that was it or not. Does it come in a pill form? It sounRAB very dangerous. I had my son moved to a different school where most of his frienRAB go that he grew up with. I had to get special permission from alot of people and it took all week. But now he will be with better kiRAB. he got split up from his closest frienRAB and that was the main problem with his anxiety. He grew up with this group of kiRAB and then he had to go to a different high school. He is shy and wasn't accepted like he was with his frienRAB he grew up with.
I didn't pressure my son to tell me who gave the pills to him because that school has serious gang and drug problems, there are fights almost every day, kiRAB snorting coke off the bathroom counters. Pills galour, and the school already knows all this is going on. they have 5 police officers on campus. all that would have happened was the kiRAB would have been sent to the alternative school along with my son and had my son beat up, shot or stabbed. He is staying away from those kiRAB. He came to us for help because he didn't want to be a part of that enviroment. he asked for help, sending him to alternative school with the same druggies would not have helped him. I have seen such an improvement in his attitude since he found out that he was going to switch schools. I am going to get him set back up with counceling. He has gone to physical therapy for his pain before, but as soon as PT stops, his pain is back full strength again and insurance will only pay for a limited amount of sessions. I think I will send him to get a massage once a week and see how that helps. He has also asked that we find a teen church group for him to go to. We didn't suggest that to him, he suggested it. I feel like such a bad parent for not already having him in a church group.
Any other suggestions from the board on how to get him relief without getting him addicted to pain meRAB and anti anxiety pills? I have been trying different things for him for so many years and he gets only temporary or no relief at all. He's too young to be in this much pain and have so much anxiety. Thank you all for your help.
