[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 188214, member: 1991"] Are you keeping a diary on your child? Because that is something that should be logged into the diary, in detail. Kudos to your son - for being able to identify the problem in his own head; for being able to describe it so vividly; for being willing to admit to a problem; for being able and willing to talk to you about it. That was definitely worth a lot of praise and quite a few hugs. it also needs to be reported to the doctor, next appointment. Again, just checking - did you mean "hyPOmanic", or "hyPERmanic"? From your description, it sounds like "hyPERmanic". It's important to get the term right, especially if you're going to be talking to doctors. First, getting it wrong can lead to misunderstandings in your child's treatment, and second, the doctor could treat you like someone who doesn't know what you're talking about - and when it is YOUR child, OF COURSE you know what you are talking about. The way to remember the difference - a "hypodermic" needle goes UNDER the skin. "Hypo" means "under". "Hyperactive" means being overactive, bouncing off the walls. "Hypertension" means high blood pressure, or "over pressure". It's just that when people use the terms in conversation, you can't always hear the difference. Well, not with an Aussie accent anyway!
