[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 590020, member: 14557"] Okay, let's add: - What difficult child should do or avoid doing to not aggravate his condition? MWM: I of course don't know if difficult child has tried pot. It is very possible but I'm fairly sure he has never used it with any regularity or a lot. He has been subject of fairly regular surprise doping tests three years now and also pot is tested. Before that his junior team tested boys for drugs every now and then. He hasn't tested positive and he knows it would be huge deal to get caught in doping test. Certainly not worth taking a risk. With PTSD alcohol (and also drugs) abuse are a huge and common complication, but what I can tell difficult child's alcohol use is in normal range. Much less than most kids his age tend to drink in fact. He drinks rather seldom during the season and also last summer he didn't drink that often. Now that had his vacation time, they did party.end of season, then he was here and didn't drink much, he most likely drank when they were in a ski resort for a weekend but again last week I think he may have had one beer on one or two nights. Of course he is young enough that he likely feels slightly uncomfortable drink in front of me and husband even though he has been leagl a year and half now. But still alcohol is counterproductive for training and he seems to show restrain with that. I have to not tell your comment about 'heavy medication' to my husband, because benzos were what my husband meant with heavy medication. They are after all our most common and abused illegal drugs around here and ones that everyone knows will mess persons head totally (of course mostly with alcohol but still.) husband does know difficult child has one benzo pill with him in case of an overwhelming panic attack and can live with that. As long as he is not actually using those, but I do know he would freak if he knew difficult child was also given ten mildest oxazepams to help with sleep if needed during his month of vacation. I have to say that I too freak a little about that. I understand his sleep issues are massive and make his situation much worse, but it still feels like giving him heroin for cough. [/QUOTE]
