[QUOTE="brandyrun, post: 439280, member: 12231"] Well, when you look at the fact sheet he fits every single symptom to a T. We've always thought he was "different" even from birth. He was a bit of a "floppy" baby at birth.. but as time went on, he appeared to be colicky. He cried all the time, never slept long, was so difficult to nurse that I just gave up after 5 weeks. He would scream and cry.. husband would finally get up and put him in the car and drive around in the middle of the night. Sometimes he fell asleep, sometimes he wouldn't.. he would just continue to scream and could not be consoled. He has maybe slept through the night 10 times in his whole life. I took him to a doctor a year and half ago because he would wake up 8-10 times a night. YES. 8-10 times. Sometimes it was 4 times.. sometimes it was 6.. sometimes 8, 10 etc. husband and I were at our wits end. I took him in and the doctor and the doctor said "let him cry it out". We limited the crying to 45 minutes.. but he never stopped. We ended up having to go in after that point and try to console him and start the time over again. Misery. I love my children dearly but he has been such a strain on our lives and our marriage. It affects our other children and it breaks my heart that nothing seems to help. I'm hiring a nanny on next week and I will start the doctors appointments. We'll get some kind of diagnosis but the ODD fits him like a glove. There's not a single smptom on there that doesn't have his name written all over it. [/QUOTE]
