Quote: "Wondering-- does anyone else notice that their child can hold it together for relatively long stretches when they must-- then meltdown/deteriorate again at home? Dd's always done this. Not that she's always "herself" out of the house, but she can usually pull off seeming functional and sometimes almost "normal." Can get through some outings, has managed schooldays when she wasn't homeschooled (her teachers could tell she wasn't okay/herself, but she could get through the day). Afterward, the time at home is usually intensified-- like she's filled herself up with everything she couldn't let out while she was out in the world, and she just bursts and purges it all once she's back here. Anyway, just wondering if others have seen this, or if it seems atypical, or..."

 

"We held off on the Azith while the stomach bug was running its course. I didn't give it yesterday b/c she was so eager to have this playdate and I didn't want to risk it irritating her recovering gi tract (she's got a very sensitive gut as it is-- had a gastroschisis at birth, a few months down the road ended up with septicemia and had a section of necrotized small bowel removed). So, we'll start it today and see what gives."

 

Hi thenmama,

 

YES! My ds can hold it together - particularly in the doctor's surgery, while I'll be the one falling apart! I'm convinced our now ex GP thought I had completely lost it and my son's only problem was his mother! But what he didn't see was him falling apart in the waiting room afterwards or in the car going home!

 

Is your dd having ongoing treatment for her GI tract? Can't help but wonder if some of what you're seeing is related?

Hi again TH...Maybe it's a gut/immunity and neurotransmitter connection? As per another post on your other thread, I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to see a Biomed/DAN! doctor - We've been getting some good results. Anxiety has dropped to 1/10 and we're half way through treatment! There is a place for the right psych meds but in an integrated approach is my preference...it seems the gut just doesn't register for alot of doctors.
