How are things going with PE? Are the Tums and the IMT helping (in general and specifically for PE)? It’s been a while since you posted an update. How are things going with PE?

You and him are able to figure out what is triggering these attacks and figuring out how to help him. My daughter starts PE Tuesday and I followed your lead and already talked to the teacher. She was very understanding, and said she'd let me know how everything was going. (I love keeping those lines of communication open) Maddie's PE is right after lunch, and I do worry this will be a problem. We have to kinda wait and see. I am also noticing a huge connection with the stress trigger though. She had finals this week as well, and while the tests weren't the stress, there was other stress that seem to trigger her. I can not thank you enough for all the links, and sharing your story. By you sharing your story I am able to watch for things in my own daughter and have a better "heads up" on the VCD.

Overall I'm still quite optimistic about the whole thing. I think that PE will hopefully give us enough "testing" ground to get some things worked out before soccer starts in the spring. I've been in touch via email with VCD researcher who confirms that the tingly fingers are a not-uncommon symptom of VCD. She also said we seem to be on the right track. :) Thanks, Amy!

Good luck with the IMT and with him starting PE. It's definitely good that you're planning to talk with the PE teacher ahead of time, to make sure there aren't any misunderstandings about the situation.
