[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 292559, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. It's way too late for me to greet you all individually - it's bee n a long tiring day and it's not over for me yet even though it's just on midnight (moving in to Saturday here). My neurologist app't this morning - nice guy but wants to review my MRI in 2 months' time. Observed I've lost some ground due to being so sick for the last 2 months. I have to work to get some fitness back by next time. difficult child 3 - first his therapist. She's given him some strategies to follow - he has to keep a spreadsheet of challenges faced each week and how he felt. Then the oxytocin research - he did the first tests and had his first nasal spray, then we waited for any reactions. He didn't have a problem with the previous study so I was fairly confident. However, he's been more irritable, more impulsive and more aggressive since. it COULD be the busy day, or it could be the nasal spray. After the tennis game (where the boys were joined by half a dozen other kids) difficult child 3 had a young girl start squealing at her mother, right next to him.
