Psychoneuralmuscular Clonus In Teenager. Anxiety Medicines Offering No Relief. What Is An Appropriate Treatment?
my granddaughter has been dx'ed with psychoneuralmuscular clonus she has been taking an antiantiety meds and still not getting any better. She hurts because of all the mms. contra. Yesterday she had to crawl because she couldn't stand up .She goes to a psychologist & a physch. doctor but they don't seem to be in communication with one another. She has had an Brain Scan. & electrodes placed oher head & they say its psychosomatic. She's only 14. Her life has been turned upside down,she now is unable to go to school. She has a 17 yr. old sister in gifted class.She is also in gifts classes. There is also a brother who is 8 & autistic. & going to special needs class. She says she doesn't know where this is coming from. It started the beginning of the summer ater an operation on her thumb nail, due to a skate board accident. She is on Prozac & now and an enchanter,which I don't know the name of.My daughter has insurance but every time she goes to the doctor its 75. dollars, . They wanr her to take my granddaughter to the doctors at least 3 times a wk. which cannot happen. We are @ our wits end. Can you offer some advice......
Does not look like Psychosomatic Only anti anxity drug will not help. Please get the opinion of a Neurologist as well It will not be proper to suggest drug without detailed examination
