Are there any good health insurances out there for me and my children, that won't cost an arm and a leg

Probably one that offers a health savings plan. The premiums are lower but the deductibles are high. The point is that you should put money into this savings account that you can later apply to your out of pocket or deductible. This money belongs to you and is tax deductible.
2 :
No, there aren't. With health insurance, you get what you pay for. For $150 a month, you can subscribe to a "discount plan", which most providers don't take, and which still leave you with hefty insurance bills if something big goes wrong. A family plan IS going to cost $800 to $1200 a month, for decent coverage. That's what it costs. Anybody offering you REAL health insurance at less than $200 a head, is scamming you. Or, the plan has a $5,000 deductible.

Can't really answer that question. Neurontin has not been studied in the Pediatric population and IS NOT approved for use in that age range. The information just isn't available.

It seems as if Neurontin has not been studied on pediatric cases, and is not highly recommended due to unknown longterm affects. However, I did look into some other options that would be very benificial and have no side affects, especially for someone as young as three. Essential Fatty Acids (omega 3 + 6) and Alpha Lipoic Acid are healthy and natural fatty acids the body needs to function properly. These fatty acids are strong antioxidants and help repair damaged nerves and nerve cells and help with the transmission of neurotransmitters, in chilren it is excellent for the development of a healthy nervous system and healthy brain function, helps with the treatment of ADD and ADHD, acne, arthritis, cholestrol; the list goes on. The good point of these fatty acids is they have no side affects, though if someone has an allergy to fish, I would advise looking at the ingredients to ensure there are no fish oils in the particular brand since most of them contain fish oils. At such a young age, I would recomend a low dosage, but booking an appointment to see a Naturopathic Doctor would be benificial. I am a natuopathic health counselor working at a Natural Health and Wellness clinic in Atlantic Canada. My name is Alicia Gabraelle, and if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to email me anytime and I will try to respond with the best of my knowledge. Hopefully this will help you out, doing some online research my help you out aswell. Look up Alpa Lipoic Acid, Omega 3 and Omega 6, Conjegated Linolic Acid and Vitamin E. This should at least put you a step in the right direction. My personal recommendation would be to look into Your omega's. You can usually purchase them in the vitamin section of your grocery store, or try a Natural store as well. Also, you can look up food high in these fatty acids if you are uncomfortable having your child take gel capsules.
