My DS is 4 and has always been so happy and outgoing, until a few months ago. I have noticed for the last 2-3 months he has been waking up grumpy and very upset at the slightest thing, disturbed sleep because he needs a wee and/or is thirsty, very sensitive during the day and after school is just so incredibly tired, if he sits down to relax he starts falling asleep. He hardly ever plays after school because he just wants to sit and watch tv, which he never used to do.
He always looks tired too, slight dark red circles under/around his eyes and seems to pick up coughs and colds continuously.
I have booked him a doctors appointment and an eye test for the end of this week. I just wanted some advice/experience really, I don't want to take him to the doctors and get fobbed off and brushed aside, I know this sounds a little crazy, but I wanted to go forearmed and mention things/conditions for them to specifically check for?? I'm not usually over the top and we hardly ever go to the doctors unless absolutely necessary but I have noticed a change in him and am concerned.
I hope this doesn't make me sound completely crazy!!
Advice/ experience please......
Thanks
