[quote=Anonymous]ADHD meds have not been a fix for my 6yo son's potty issues, but he has [knock wood] started to want to sleep without a GoodNite and actually does sleep dry some of the time.  Even though it's a bit hard, I remember that the first days of his neurotypical twin wanting to sleep with just pajamas didn't go altogether smoothly (probably when he was four or so), so I'm sticking with it for now.  His stool-holding is really a behavioral nut we have yet to crack, despite seeing a therapist who specializes in this.

Yeah, I'm pretty much in burn-out land, too.  I managed to get Influenza A and B this spring, despite having gotten the flu shot.  But there were many colds, often quite bad, in between.  What happened to my immune system?   Just caring for the boys, much less making progress on the behavioral front, is just so hard when it's taking all your energy just to work, prepare meals, etc.  Wishing everyone better times!

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to go off-topic, but I just wanted to share that my child had constant potty accidents until we put him on a low dose of ADHD meds.  [/quote]

That is fantastic to know, actually! Thanks. The problem seems to be that he doesn't know he has to go until it's basically already happened; if ADHD treatment can help that, it's another argument in favor of taking the plunge. (He's not medicated yet, but we're going to discuss it at the next appointment.)[/quote][/quote]
