hun, i know you've had a few issues with your DS - i'm wondering if there is more to it? is it possible he is depressed? i know as a teen, i went through many periods just like this. i would get headaches for no reason, and the sheer effort of getting out of bed was just too much. it wasn't until i was 19 and in uni that i was first diagnosed with depression. i didn't take meds (i don't react well to them at all) but went to counselling to find coping mechanisms. i wish i had known a lot lot earlier what was going on...
