[QUOTE="frepretch, post: 315239, member: 8310"] thanks everyone for sharing your ideas, questions and thoughts. we DO have an appointment with a psychiatrist for next week. last night went so-so. we only have 1.5 episodes of full blown crazy, and about 4 freakouts that we shutdown pretty quick (less than 30 seconds.) i'll set up a sig, but here's the background info people were asking about: - she's 10 years old. - never used illegal drugs or alcohol. - she's NOT on any medication. - no family trauma or events - she's got normal pre-teen troubles (worried about friends, homework, etc.) - no family history of schizophrenia or BiPolar (BP). - some thyroid issues in the family though. - when she was younger (about 5-6) she DID have night terrors, but nothing even close to this. - she DID have a fever last week for several days, possibly swine flu. the hallucinations started 3 days after the fever broke and all flu symptoms went away. (NO, she wasnt on tamaflu..) on the night terror hypothesis - these are so severe, and last for like 5-10 minutes and she seems like she is wide awake, walking around, looking us in the eye - and she remembers everything the next day. can a doctor hook something up to her to prove that she is indeed asleep, or not? ok - the lyme disease idea is interesting. we live in a thickly wooded area in the mountain states, and even though lyme disease is mostly back east, our state website says that there are cases of lyme disease in our state. i will look more into this. i agree trading off with my wife would be the smart thing to do, but neither of us can bear not to be there while she is having an episode. eventually we'll fall apart, we know, but for now, we're going to both stay with her all night. again - thanks so much for everything you've written - it is all so helpful. please post a reply if anything comes to mind, and i'll keep everyone updated on how things progress. again - thank all of you so much.
