[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 276112, member: 3419"] Hi Heartsick, Whew! Glad you got through that one. You did a great job. Keep up the good work! I would suggest that the next time she goes somewhere, either a friend's house or a water park, that you walk her around the place, and point out where everything is so she knows ahead of time. You have to outguess her, because she's not going to make a move to say anything, as you have discovered. Do you have her doing her own laundry? We do that with-my son, who still wets his bed, especially after he has had wheat. If it's too overwhelming for her to do the laundry alone, you can do it together. I know what you mean about feeling like you're overreacting. I went for yrs telling my husband and the pediatrician that something was wrong and I knew in my gut that something was wrong, but no one seemed to believe me. Then difficult child acted like a monster at the pediatrician's office (at the prospect of a shot, flew out of the dr's office, down the hall, and hid for several min until a nurse found him, then screamed bloody murder, way beyond anything age appropriate. The pediatrician said he's never seen anything like it. I felt SO validated! Of course, there was no diagnosis, but at least there was a witness to the over-the-top behavior.) That is all to say, trust your mommy gut and keep working on a diagnosis. by the way, if the clonidine isn't working for sleep, you may want to try Vistaril, an antihistamine. It worked really well for us. [/QUOTE]
