Dramagirl, how are you at dancing? Just wondering if might help you learn sword fighting if there was music involved.

I am very rhythmic and think that would help a lot. I am getting better. But it takes a long time.

I have very poor muscle memory also.

My son is 8 he started getting headaches last year in school. THey won't pull him for OT so I made them pull him for the lunch period. THat semed to help. He has one this year and the next day he was pulled after I had to tell them AGAIN! Such a winning team. Sometimes I wonder who these people are that work for the schools it is like fighting up against a monster . ANyway... when it is too noisey all day and his classroom is smaller this year too he will come home complaining.

A question semi related to it all. I've always had bad muscle tone and am not strong at all, I can't do pullups and my high jump numbers are almost zero. Anyhow related?? Also

We're doing sword fighting in my acting class right now and I can't figure out how to control my hand and get my arms and legs to do what I want them to. This is related to the muscle tone stuff too, I think...

Hey Dreamgirl,
based on my experience with my son, I would say yes, these things are related to your muscle tone and probably some spatial issues. My son was diagnosed with mild hypotonia at 3 years old. He has always been a bit uncoordinated as compared to his peers, and his upper body strenth is not great. He leans on things a lot. He also goes the wrong way, etc. Couldnt' position his body in space as directed in even simple ways. The neuro said these are all things that make sense with the low tone, which I guess he felt was an indication of a processing disorder. He never used the term SPD, but what he described sure sounds like it. My son was diagnosed with migraines in 4th grade. I don't know if it is related, but headaches have dogged him for years, although it seems to be somewhat better now.
Have fun with everything you are doing. It sounds like you are living life with gusto.

For the most part I'm living a full life, but I still have a lot of problems. It's not fun when you have to sit in a loud, crowded hallway for lunch with a bunch of teenagers you don't like, while getting stepped on, it being too loud, too bright to overwhelming and a headache at the same time.

Sorry about that little rant, I have a lot to do this week and I'm getting overwhelmed because I had a migraine yesterday. And have to make up for the time I lost yesterday

Hi dreamgirl I'm not SPD but css (central senseization syndromes) affect the brain in the same ways. I find when its getting too much and I notice the light starts to hurt my eyes and sounds are too loud I will put in my sound deadening headphones with quite rain storm sound track. Just the removal of the overwhelming sound to the peace if often enough to make the rest of the overtime not so bad.

Hope it helps in the halls so you can injoy lunch with friends
Cheers Chris
