[quote=Anonymous]Hi -

My teen son is currently struggling with extreme irritation at repetitive sounds and seeing a digital device. It's appears to have a sudden onset. [He won't watch TV, hold a phone, or even look at me when I have my laptop open. A couple of months ago, he was watching videos, playing on his laptop.]

He has been fatigued, suffering from brain fog, and depression. He's intolerant to milk, but he started eating more of it this year. [I can't control what a teen eats, so I ask he monitor how he feels.] He removed dairy, and he was back to his old self within 3 weeks. Soon after, he felt he still wasn't "feeling right" and wanted to remove gluten. He then started to experience extreme irritation - have to plug his ears, walked out of class to go outside, felt he was "going to break" until he could get to some silence. Music from cars driving by or chirping birds can also cause an intense reaction. He's ok with white noise. [This symptom began at the end of school year.]

He has appointments with an allergist, gastroenterologist, and psychiatrist.

Has anyone experience anything like this? I'm absolutely heartbroken that he's going through this. I know he's not faking. He went from a kid who could binge watch TV to someone who has to leave the house if I turn it on. He seems in genuine pain.

He tested positive for many of the common food allergens last week, and he's now avoiding those foods. Yesterday he had some nori, not realizing it could contain shellfish, and he is worse today. [He became irritated at birds I could barely hear.] But yesterday he seemed to be getting better, able to go to the pool. I do believe it's related.[/quote]
