I believe you've done the right thing by paying for testing yourself: you're a forward thinker. I think, though, your only option is to stay private. I don't see another choice. Your doctor has not acknowledged your efforts and nothing will change in that regard: so just stay private. It'll cost but...

Counting calories is valid, but your son will need assistance with doing so. Also, you'd need to get a professional calorie counting chart of some type. Your son will also need to do exercise.

I second loki0213's post.

Sensible advice: I would follow it.

You're going to have to go old skool: light layers, fans running, air conditioning, drinking plenty of water. The list goes on. The weather WILL cool down: I have been hot and sweaty myself. In fact, I had to have two showers the other day in one day. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any remedy...

Art therapy has great value and I'd advise anyone take it up.
