No speech when thirsty or tired - anyone else?

[Guest guest]

My 5.11 y/o daughter 's speech has improved greatly with

DAN!-type treatments and time to the point where I don't usually

consider her to have speech apraxia anymore, but ...

today she had a massive crying jag/temper tantrum that we alleviated

by sticking some juice in front of her face and telling her to drink.

This is the most extreme case we have had yet where she doesn't seem

to be able to talk when thirsty. She frequently will start crying at

the dinner table if we forget to get her something to drink - and it

only ends when we remember the drink thing.

It's kind of similar when she is very tired. She doesn't talk, no

matter if she is calm or upset.

In general behaviorally she is fairly normal, but sometimes

hyperactive and always exuberant.

Anyone else have a similar story or insight?

Thanks

PS. Today she was finishing up a week at her cousin's, which

incidentally was a week without vitamins and cod liver oil.

Coincidence? The trigger for the tantrum was that her cousin didn't

want her to play with a toy. This was totally forgotten during the

crying jag and never came up again.

Have you ever noticed whether your daughters hands and feet are abnormally

hot when these episodes have occurred????

Is it possible that in addition to being thirsty, her blood sugar is

low?? How often does she eat/drink something caloric?
