Hi, since you already have tried the hidden pill thing, have you tried just giving it to her to chew. My 3 yo salt-waster has just started taking both the Florinef and the Cortef by chewing it. I know it probably tastes yucky, but I give a drink to my son when he takes it. Regarding your second question, my son just started with his this past summer. Like you said, it was great for a while. (Of course, he slid the first one off his wrist and lost it.) I ordered his second one smaller. He still can manage to wiggle out of it once in a while, but I usually find it and put it back on while he is sleeping. I can't give you any real suggestions except to say that she will probably get used to it. For the most part, my son forgets its there. It sounds like you have one strong-willed little girl there. :)
