[QUOTE="No More Rabbits!, post: 102222, member: 4369"] I'm interested in your comments, but I have to say I don't think bi-polar is an issue. The hand and feet bit is easy to explain. The particular problems he has with hypermobility is manifest in these two areas. He has HUGE, very flat feet, buying shoes is a nightmare, He hates his feet, and maintaining writing is a real problem - hence his hands are 'useless' too and are dyspraxia personified. If you challenge him after one of these outbursts he says "I wouldn't ACTUALLY do it...do you think I am stupid!" Sorry but you do have "morbid love for rats" as quite the wrong interpretation....Rats are friendly, intelligent and very lovable animals. <u>I cried </u>all day the day we lost the last one I don't mind admitting it [img]:smile:[/img] They are excellent pets, they just don't live long enough. I'd have a rat anyday if I wasn't fit enough to exercise dogs. Never underestimate the love you can get from a rat [img]:wink:[/img] difficult child was too upset to go to school both days that the rats died (one was ailing and had a seizure in my hands (difficult child's favorite) and the other had to be put down by the vet) If it wasn't for the fact we are planning a long distance move in six months might have gone straight out and replaced them - I really do believe they were good for him. It's the threatening to kill himself that I do find the most distressing, as I'm sure all the other parents here who have experienced it will probably agree. It tears me apart to hear him say that, expecially when he is in a volatile and unpredicatable state. I think his cycles occur more due to the circumstances around him, than an internal trigger. It's every X weeks or X months, that something will come up that upsets him. It was certainly his dyspraxia 'in the air' at school that triggered his big flare up ealier this year. Regards [/QUOTE]
