First Neurologist Appt., for our 3yr old

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

My son is seeing a Neurologist by the name of Dr. Corbiere, in Charlotte, NC for the first time next week. Our son repeatedly day dreams several times a day, and we think it may be seizures but aren't sure. We had to wait over a year to see this Dr. and mailed out the usual health history packette to him. I have questions written down for him but wish I could have a better understanding as to what to expect from a Pediatric Neurologist Dr.'s visit? Does anyone have any idea what's expected in this visit and how I could be better prepared for our 2 hour long visit?

We were so dissapointed when a so called highly respected Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics Dr., named Dr. ph Stegman last year when my son was 2yrs old. He pretty much asked us questions we had already sent to him in his health history packette while he typed them in his lap top. He only spent 15 minutes with our son, had him pick colored specific blocks out for him, had him walk to check his gate, examined his chest, body, head and looked for abnormal features. He said our son was a little hard to engage and then came to the diagnoses that he had "Classical Autism", since he said they are doing away with the PDD's and PDD-NOS diagnoses. He then referred us to the "100 Day Kit, What do to after a Autism Diagnoses" website, and recommended a heavy ABA program!I had showed him my son's OAT's test and he did not even

know how to read them? I showed him how he had high Clostridia, Fungus & high bad Yeast levels in his gut. He said Clostridia always comes back and said he was totatally opposed of any probiotics, because they altere the natural flora on the GI track and was against of vitamin overload. He was very angry and totally against DAN Dr.'s and said they were a total waste of money and rip-offs for deperate parents....I guess he meant like us? Easy for him to say, it's not his child we're talking about! He said come back in six months, and we said after the meeting, yeah right you eccentric creep! The next time we see you, you;ll be removing our son's diagnoses for us!Well my husband and I knew better and just ignored him, and took the diagnoses to get services. Our 3 year old son is living proof that good pharmaceutical grade probiotics, vitamins,

meds like Valtrex and Difflucan, our DAN Dr.'s and all of you on this forum have helped our son immensley to the road of recovery. We know that there is a strong connection to Autism and unbalanced gut issues. I'm trying to do the GAP's diet and bought a book from Dr. Goldberg, called "The Myth about Autism"...I don't know much about it but my "Motherly Intuition" is guiding me to this direction.Anyways, I heard this Neurologist is for Biomedical Interventions...I'll be sure to share with you the outcome of this appointment and hope it's not another waste of our time??
