Carole--Thanks for your comments. You have strengthen my suspicions. I have Fibromyalgia- so I know alot about CFS. Yes, I have noticed the similar symptoms but didn't what the MD's to think that I was putting "my illness" on my son.
Thanks for mentions John Hopkins-I live 1 1/2hr from there. I've taken him to Georgetown U, they do work w/ CFS/FMS. He doesn't have the tender points of FMS. Did a sleep study, and that night he had no restless legs but had all the spontaneous arousals of brain wave (My sleep study five yrs ago, showed I arouse 90xhour!)They have started my son on 2.5mg flexeril trying to work him up to 10mg flexeril at bedtime. But that hasn't help his dizziness when standing,we will discuss that more in July visit-Georgetown may do tilt table test. But thanks for J.Hopkins info-do you have a particular MD name? But Georgetown is listening to problems and that is big help.
Doesn't make sense that if we have v.poor sleep, that it might show up as ADD-inattentive/memory problems in the classroom? Thanks for the great input -Kate
