Hi, I've been wanting to come here for a wile but everytime I would come read on the forum, I would become discourage because the area that I live in not a lot of people know about SPD or bieleve that it dosent exist. I've never had a official diagnosis. I've been expericing sensory problem all my life and finaly at the age of 31 I found it on the internet and it seems like everyting fell into place and could not find anything ells that best describe me with my hypersensitivity to tactile and auditory.

My family doctor has been very supportive if my finding and I'm curently seeing a wonderfull O.T. who is also very supporting and I don't know what I would have done without her. She's doing the best that she can to help me. She give me exercesice to do and my balance has improve so much and I feel more stable and steady on my feet. She had referd me at a place not to fare from where I live in hope having a proper diagnosis and that maby a someone that would have more knowlege on how to properly treate me but it didn't go that way. Instead I saw someone who don't bielive in SPD and said that anxiety was causing my sensory problems and wanted me to go see a psychiatrist and take medication without doing any test to rule out any other medical conditon. I don't want to take medication because of past bad reaction to medication.

I told my doctor that I wanted to see a neurologist or somebody ells that would knowledge about SPD and would be willing to do more testing than wanting to give me medication. Would it be a good idea to see a neurologist? I don't know what els to do. went I was born doctors said I was microcephalic but I don't really have full proof.
