If that was under control I'm sure he'd have a lot more to give toward other areas. I don't know what to tell you about that. I know you're on top of all the meds & dr appts & etc. & doing all you can for him there. I am so sorry this is so hard right now. It will get better. Sometimes I don't like it when people tell me that, because I want them to understand that even so, it's hard NOW. Other times I feel like this is going to be forever and hearing that helps me to remember that we have been through bad phases before and they have indeed gotten better even when I had no clue why anything changed. So I DO know it is hard now and I offer you all the prayers and hugs and supportive thoughts that I can, and if there is anything at all I can do for you please just name it. -Sara. > Jacquie H > > I.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 I think so too. Thats why while I am upset I am ok. I think once we get his BP under control things will get much better.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 --- Jacquie, I wanted to mention the bp, but, I really didnt want to relate everything to that, since, we are struggling with that as a new diagnosis. When I redo the ATEC and CARS, score in the emotional, hyperactivity catergories is way up. Fortunately, others have gone down, but, he is older. There was awhile maybe last year, when he was somewhat worse across the board. I probably could redo it now that he is on depakote and his mood swings are minimal. s hyperactivity is worse it seems since the meds, maybe because the other stuff is less, who knows. But, its just been really difficult for him,this is and the first year he was ever really seen as a behavior challenge as he was never really aggressive towards other kids or cried to the point where no one could do anything for him. Maybe those tests dont really take into account comorbid stuff. Truthfully, what you were describing about Alec sleep sounded a little bit like when couldnt sleep and acted like it was the daytime, and he was really raging then. My husband had to make sure the inner door was locked and everything secure because hed wake up and we wouldnt know it. Maybe you want to see the doc and try meds, I know its difficult, but, it might make everyones life easier. Its a lot of trial and error with meds.
