Hi Jennifer,

My younger daughter Claire was diagnosed at age 4.  By age 6, she was very, very chubby and her growth had slowed.  Using circadian rhythm dosing helped her tremendously.  If you’re interested, I can send journal articles along with a summary I wrote.

Children can be cruel, but it was the ’helpful’ (or just horrible) adult comments that made me crazy! 

Take heart - Claire is now 12 years old, 5’3" and 92 pounds.  Long and lean, with lots of height potential left.  She takes a fraction of the meds that she took at age 6.

Been there - and I know it’s tough.
