[QUOTE="SRL, post: 124865, member: 701"] Yes, our kids can be more sensitive to environmental changes such as illness and changes in routine than other kids. But that in itself is a red flag. I would suggest calling your pediatrician and arranging an appointment to discuss a referral. I spent two years chalking up behavior a great deal to allergies which wound up not being allergies at all but sinus infection, only to find out down the road those only accounted for a small fraction of the behavioral issues. He'd wake up on the wrong side of the bed day after day and in the end allergy/sinus had little to do with it and his neurological differences had almost everything to do with it. All that is lost is time and money if you go through the evaluation process and nothing is found. But there is a great deal to be gained from getting in there and having professionals take a hard look at what's going on/not going on. Picking up that phone and scheduling that appointment was probably the hardest phone call I ever made in my life, but I'm glad I didn't wait any longer than I did. Everything we learned through assessment and research was a step in the right direction of giving difficult child some help. I wish I had an encouraging answer for you about could this continue. The truth is it often ebbs and flows but with some problems (such as sensory integration dysfunction or bipolar) it often just keeps getting worse and worse until adults in the child's life start getting them some help or until the child figures out ways to compensate for the problem areas themselves.
