Hi Candy4339,

It sounds as if you know the local practitioner, but if that person is qualified to practice medicine, maybe some preliminary investigation of your son's condition can be done at that local clinic? Sometimes rural MDs are excellent, and this one might surprise you with some good ideas.

Your son needs medical attention. If you become aware that he's taking some drug that might be affecting him in the way you describe, I'd say that a doctor needs to be consulted. If it turns out to be a drug, he could try stopping the drug--and maybe the symptoms will go away.

The chances are that he'll be referred to a neurologist or other specialist, and he may need to travel some distance for that purpose, but I hope you'll encourage him to do that.

You have a lot on your plate. I hope that you can find some answers for your son's problems.
