I am SOOO sorry! Here's the update...took him to the doc. Got him physically checked out. While the doc and I are talking (for like an hour), my son could NOT sit still. After the questionaire, he gave me one to give his teacher. Doc said my son is ADHD. He is on 5 mg of Focalin once a day (in the mornings).

No difference first day. Second day, his teacher came to me and told me how wonderful he was. He was focused, did his work, no complaining that "he couldn't do it". It made me feel so good.

Then, at the soccer game yesterday (5th game he's played), he actually made not one but 2 GOALS!!! I was so proud that he was so involved in the game.

I didn't give it to him this morning and he's been more "active" so to speak. The only complaint he has is that his tummy hurts. He doesn't want to eat when he's on the meds so I have to make him put something in his tummy.

Anyway, that's the update. Thanks for asking.
