nightmares awake

[Guest guest]

Let me preface this by saying that my son isn't wacko and he has seizure

activity that keeps him awake and we beleive is responsible for the nightmares

but no one knows how to help or control it. Medicine did not do it. He has

nights where he sleeps thru and otherwise is a pretty regular kid.

Does anyone else's child have nightmares that when they wake up they are still

so scared? My son wakes up and the dreams don't go away. Its so scary for me

too. We were up for hours last night while he swatted at bees. I don't know

what to do. He doesn't seem to be able to distinguish. He knows hes awake and

he knows that hes having dreams but it still seems to carry terror with it. He

has been up every night for weeks between 2 and 7 am. We are both exhausted.

All I can do today is cry.

The indecision- never knowing if this pill is going to do it or harm him and

what about 5yrs down the road? Whay about cdiff and the ABX? It helps him now

but what about later? All of a sudden his OCDish symptoms are raging so back on

ABX he goes. And so on.

I know I have to tow the line but today is a dark day.
