Re: I tried the Benedryl......

Yeah!!! So happy for you . So nice when something works out for these

kids, and Mum(!). Sleep makes such a difference for all of us, but especially a

kid coping with this disorder.

Sometimes whatever affects them when they are younger they can tolerate when

they are older. Or, is it possible there was a food coloring or some filler in

the benadryl she reacted to when she was younger? Our son always reacted to

fillers.

Anyways, thrilled for you that NOW she can sleep!!!
