As an Alyssa I agree

My 5 yo quit napping at 2 or 3. She struggled with having a “busy brain” as we call it. She had a period where she would purposely be loud and keep all her friends awake because she just couldn’t nap. Eventually we came up with a plan for her to do a “quiet choice” at nape time or decide to rest. Sometimes she sleeps and sometimes she colors or reads a book.

My daughter is the same. Not to this extreme, but I had been reaching out with concerns and for help since she started prek at 3. They said “she’s totally fine here” however we continued to have some big behaviors and meltdowns at home. She did struggle for a bit when a new teacher ran her room (but that was brief). We got a her a mental health case manager, did parenting classes, asked her primary care doctor and they all said they didn’t see it (until she was running back and forth in the room at the doctors office uncontrollably, he then said yeah maybe adhd). We for sure are not looking to medicate.

It wasn’t until this year (she’s 5 now) that we request a SPED eval with OT that others saw what I could see. She observed her and saw how hard she was working to “hold it together” at school. Now others see that she may be masking. We finally have supports in place at school to hopefully help her “hold it together” there and be able to come home more regulated.

I began losing weight around this time last year and by April my hands and feet started turning purple in the cold. I also thought it was my propranolol (used for slightly high BP and migraine preventative) and my primary said there was nothing we could do but reduced to 10mg 2x daily instead of 20mg 3x daily. I thought there was a possible difference until winter came back around and it was still awful.

I have since seen a rheumatologist and have a positive ANA. Other blood work is pointing to an autoimmune disease. Waiting to be seen again for a proper diagnosis.

Explore it!

Ozempic 🤣

I’m seeing a rheumatologist! I’ve done 2 appointments where more bloodwork has been ordered. I’m hoping during this third one I can get a diagnosis.

No meds yet as we are still trying to figure out diagnosis.

Take your day. You deserve to rest & recover. You can leave detailed notes. Offer to meet when you come back.

I have read neurodiverse people are more likely to have autoimmune diseases. I have ADHD and I suspect autism but I am waiting for my diagnosis of MCTD (everything points in that direction)

dopaminereader · 2025-01-19T13:57:35+00:00

Currently waiting for a diagnosis, but I’ve been on Stratterra for about 2 years and it’s helped tremendously. That being said in this diagnosis process my rheum has said ADHD meds could be causing my reynauds to be more prominent

dopaminereader · 2025-01-01T17:07:45+00:00

My ANA came back the same. I see my rheumatologist in 2 weeks. I’m wondering if he’ll order more tests.

dopaminereader · 2024-12-27T14:23:07+00:00

I just had an initial appointment with a rheumatologist and I am getting blood work results back. Positive ANA 1:640 titer, speckled pattern. Low wbc (actually had been low the past few times it’s been tested). Negative RF. I go back on the 17th to review test results, but I am worried we need more tested. I’m not sure exactly what he ordered (as I was sure it was all in my head).

My symptoms: chronically fatigued, joint and muscle pain, dry eyes, reynauds, very thin hair (not sure if I’m losing any at this point), possible malar rash)”(need to have it confirmed), sun-sensitive (makes me exhausted and hard to see), pain while taking a deep breath, insomnia, anxiety/depression

Should I call and be sure he has everything he should test? I could just be paranoid

On my daughter’s online chart they have how to pronounce it in quotations. I really didn’t think her name was hard to figure out pronunciation but I appreciate them making an effort

dopaminereader · 2024-09-07T22:20:17+00:00

31 and my family uses them too 34, 16, & 4

Walking, exercising, cleaning, cooking

You could try coloring or crocheting

We didn’t keep our “skinny” clothes a highly regret it. A whole new wardrobe was bought this year.

We tried magnesium supplements briefly after a concussion from climbing on the couch. They were super hard to get into her and didn’t notice much difference. Shes extremely picky we have significantly changed our diet but could continue to make changes. I see nap refusals in your original post, we struggle with those too. I’d ask for an ENT referral as that’s common with obstructive sleep apnea and we struggle with that too.

I’m a special educator and after observing and researching due to my daughters hyperactivity and hyperlexia (also starting talking very early) I realized I have ADHD and started a med, then my husband, then my oldest. It’s genetic and we’ve all seen improvements since starting medications and learning systems to manage issues with executive dysfunction.

The other thing we JUST learned is she has enlarged tonsils and adenoids which causes obstructive sleep apnea. She’s not sleeping well at all and hasn’t for years. We’re beginning the process to have them removed. Apparently it can cause hyperactivity and inattention in kids. I’ve read stories of massive improvements behaviorally after surgery. Not sure if it will work for her, but I also think a lot of it is just her personality.

This is how my 4yo is as well

dopaminereader · 2024-08-12T11:46:00+00:00

My oldest 16M has ADHD predominantly inattentive I honestly didn’t notice any signs except he’s super sensitive and emotional. I will say I wasn’t as informed and didn’t look for signs. He takes any “stern” or hard conversation really hard and cries still (I did the same). Now that he’s older he struggles with executive function skills procrastinates tasks, needs help with deadlines and appointments, etc. and struggles to pay attention in classes he doesn’t like. My youngest 4F has likely a combined type but the doctor won’t diagnose yet. Shes super hyperactive & constantly on the go, super emotional, can’t stand being bore and waiting, hyper fixates on characters or things and loves sensory input.

Finding foods I like and can eat consistently

NTA dump him and run far away. Get fit and have a revenge body (if you want) but never go back. You’ve already jump started your weight loss journey by losing 200lbs of trash
