> Emme - Thank you very much for your response, especially about the serotonin. I do need to talk to her pediatrician, but am sort of afraid he'll think I'm worrying over nothing - he's that kind of a guy. I think I'll talk to my therapist about it. One of her partners treats many children. I hate to get my daughter under the microscope if it's not necessary, but the alternative of growing up with a disorder that's progressive is not a good one either! But, she does have some social issues - her hyperactivity turns people off. Thanks again and good luck to you!

> ~ LynneHi Lynne,
If it makes you feel any better, my weird childhood sensations weren't obtrusive and didn't last my whole childhood - it faded out as I got to be a bigger kid. I certainly don't remember any such things in junior high for example. I'm not sure it would have been worth doing anything about it as a kid since it wasn't a "problem" per se. It never occurred to me to say anything about it to my parents because it was sporadic and not scary. If I'd been scared, then I guess that would have been another thing. So maybe it was a hint of a precursor to what I'm experiencing now, but I don't believe it was anything to sweat about when I was little.
I don't mean to say that you shouldn't talk to your therapist and keep an eye on it, and it sounds like her hyperactivity deserves attention. But try not to be too frightened.
Happy New Year to you too.
