thanks peanuts.
I saw her paediatrician and we decided that trialling some form of sleeping med would be best. Melatonin (only available on script here) was my 1st choice but waaaaaaaay too expensive for me until I got all the paperwork sorted. So we are giving Vallergen a go (like phenergan; an antihistamine). It is working really well, only using the smallest dose and even at that I have gone to only giving it to her every 2nd day- she gets so tired! She has even slept 12hrs a couple of nights . Hre grandfather was staying with us last week and said that her behaviour was so much better than that of her 3yo sister...lol! We have been waiting to get her into therapy- any sort but esp behavioural therapy- for over a yr; looks like it may happen early next year...
Thanks again,
