Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi All, We are being faced w/another problem and wondered if any of you have heard of this. Not just read about it, but know of people who have had this happen. My son (8 yrs) has been struggling the past 2 years w/school. It really never came into such a bright light until this year. He has always been smart, kind, shy, helpful, attentive to every detail. Basically he was a perfect child. Everyone loves him. However this year we are faced w/having him tested for ADD/ADHD. Upon my request along w/his teachers concerns. He is constantly needing to move, fidget, can't concentrate, doesn't understand directions, zones out while being spoken to, zones out for no reason, constantly distracted, nervous if there is to much noise, loss of appetite, can't wake him up in the morning, stomach aches, frustration, sadness, blurred vision, headaches after reading, words look like little bugs plus a few others. His classroom and the entire school is mold free. We checked his room for MCS triggers. So, that seems to be good, atleast where we have control over it, filters are MERV 11 and changed monthly in his room. We got him glasses, which he didn't really need but the Dr. said it might help his vision. The lowest prescription possible. Here is my thought. He didn't ever have any of these things. Or atleast they were not obvious. But, the past 2 years they are getting VERY obvious. This would be 4 years after exposure. Has anyone encountered this happening that long after exposure? Or is it just be getting worse from his exposure do you think? Or this is just him? If any of you know of anyone who has experienced these problems this long after exposure I'd like to hear it. You are welcome to e-mail me privately or share w/the group. Have been reading up on it and will be making some changes around here to try to help him on this end. The school is also trying to help. They want to try and fix it in house as much as they can, so he doesn't need the meds if he is diagnosed. For this I am lucky. I am exhausted from my daughters situation, it is really hard having to conquer another one. But, I have to. My little man is really suffering from whatever is going on. Remember my home is a safe zone because of my daughter. Thank you in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
