DD has been crying for two days

[JakB]

Solidly... And I mean, solidly. Even when eating/drinking etc... Took her to the docs this morning and he couldn't find anything amiss (ears fine). However, in retrospect, I think maybe he thought, 'she's autistic so she's just doing her autistic thing' (dunno about you but many a professional I come across presumes that all autistic children 'tantrum' constantly). I explained that this is very un-dd, that it is a proper pain cry. No other indications to suggest what's wrong and, of course, she can't tell us. Taking her to casualty tomorrow and going to demand tests etc. DH thinks she may have swallowed something? Heeelllllpppp. Has anybody come across this? It's as if she can't get comfortable, doesn't want to be hugged, tossing and turning, can't get to sleep. Pain relief has no effect. Only asleep because of mega melatonin dose and up in the night crying.
Jimjams- haven't done the washing machine yet honey but will do I promise

Oh JakB, I'm so glad she's home Glad things are getting back to 'normal' - we've missed you!

[maddiemo]

Glad it went so well.

Well done JakB dd{smile]

[motherinferior]

Oooooh, glad she's better!

[beccaboo]

Hurrah! So glad to hear this. Hopefully she'll be on the up and up now.

[JaysMum]

awww....just so glad all is well.

So glad it is sorted JakB. Though it must have been horribly painful for your dd I expect you are a little relieved that there was a real 'reason' for her crying. And thank god for ABA and all those detailed notes hey?

[soapbox]

JakB - so glad she is better - have been following your thread.

The poor poor thing - she must have been really in pain

Poor you too - how awfully stressful!

[Merlot]

Cant believe I missed this thread! - what an absolutely awful time you've been having JakB. You must have been tearing your hair out over dd . So glad that you have got to the bottom of it all now. It is just so awful watching your child in pain and feeling so bl**dy useless.

[JakB]

Thanks for all your support! She's upset now but inbetween stressy messy times the old dd (smiling, making dolphin noises and sideways dancin')

[Jimjams]

Just caught up with this- so pleased it's all better. ROFL @ "has she pointed to the area in her mouth where the pain is". They're still not doing any autism training in med school them

[Davros]

You should have been there at our opthamology appt! Holding up a card from a distance and trying to get DS to say what it is!!! Actually they were very nice and managed to test him reaonably well but it was quite funny!
