Thanks for the advice. No, I haven't mentioned it to the doctor except that she gets extremely bad cramps (that keep her up all night for days) and he said to just give her Advil. He didn't seem to think it was abnormal -- he said some girls get worse cramps and that's normal. It honestly never occurred to me that she's having something physical besides her period because she's "normal" the other days in a month. It only happens one or two days.

And I know it must seem extremely irrational to want to send her away but she kicks, bites, screams, pinches, throws stuff, breaks stuff, etc. We're all being abused by her once a month. At some point, it seems like I should put my foot down but maybe I'm wrong.

It's definitely not ASD, ADHD -- that's not a once a month issue that has been going on for only 18 months of her life. It's clearly from hey period and I thought the first year would be bad but it would get better but it seems to be getting worse (or my tolerance).

[b]So what do I ask the doctor to check for? I can tell you that her doctor is not going to check for anything unless I ask him specifically to run a specific test.[/b]

I cannot put her on a once a month prozac because her period is not consistent and I don't want to put her on a hormonal pill at age 13. Plus, she is not going to remember it every day and it's going to be another battle in our lives -- she already complains about taking vitamins. This is a very determined child in the good (A+ student, star athlete, lots of friends, teachers favorite) and bad (never does chores, room is always a mess, never helps out, backtalks parents constantly, hits siblings) ways.[/quote]

Maybe start by making sure he knows her actual symptoms you absolute psycho. [/quote]

I really have nothing to add to this, except a couple of curse words.  JFC, OP.  [/quote]
