[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh man, I just wish I had your problem.

My 13 year old son is not growing, not eating, he's at the second percentile for height, and his pediatrician is worried.

If I could know he was going to grow half an inch overnight (never thought that was possible!), I would positively welcome a series of tantrums.[/quote]

19:57 here. [b]My son is in the 5th percentile for height and weight but his dad and I am pretty short. He didn't start with this crazy hunger until right around when he turned 13. He takes meds for ADHD and he is usually hungry when they wear off. But hungry for him means a bowl of cereal. Now he can eat half a box of cereal a day. Has your son always been small? Mine has.[/b][/quote]

This is my DS.  he's 16yrs old, also ADHD.  I posted about this a while ago - got some not so kind responses.

He took meds from age 7-14, and I think it completely destroyed his appetite.  He used to eat a lot when the meds would wear off, but he hasn't been on meds for two years - and no longer eats a lot, period.  The pediatrician was concerned about his growth, so we took a bone age test to see if he still had more growing to do.  Sadly, he's done growing :(  [/quote]
