[QUOTE="tired Cheryl, post: 92310, member: 4109"] Love the question. I sure have noticed. The question that I would like to ask is "does anyone (besides us)care?" That is what is amazing to me. I spent the summer wasting away losing weight, being constantly ill and misdiagnosed, only to hear, "How did you become so run down?" LOL Umm let's see...my kid is up about 18 hrs a day and wants to fight with me during most of those hours. When he does sleep he sleep walks and has night terrors. So I decided that my trying to get some sleep was a waste of time. Then there are the nights when I am on seizure watch. Or the nights in the hospital. And the many days at the hospital for routine therapy and exams, etc, etc... Oh, yeah. That's just my unpaid full-time job. I actually have another unpaid full-time job (I work for myself) and an actually paying part-time job and a easy child 5 year old to care for. Wonder why I am so run down? Thank God that after several doctors I found two that pulled me out of physical Hell. But I am far from healthy. My immune system and mental health are spent. All thoughout my serious illnesses of the summer my husband and Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) thought I was crazy. Well, until they put the PICC line in my arm and started my sixth antibiotic IV. I felt like I had no support in proving to people how seriously difficult child was affecting my health. That made me feel even more upset. Maybe things are falling apart because I am now over 40? But I don't think so. I really believe that all of the stress, anger, hostility associated with my very hyper difficult child has just worn me down over the past four years. I am amazed at those of you who have survived with older difficult children. It does give me some hope that with enough medication & therapy for the entire family we may survive even if we are crippled along the way. thanks for the post. Cheryl [/QUOTE]
