Sameer,
I have not seen physical symptoms. Just the tantrums emotional outbursts.
He is on a camping trip with his dad for a week.
I will check in with him and write to you after his return.

Sameer,
My son has been back for 7 days.
I have seen no physical symptoms, and his emotional state is also good/great.
I'll keep watching and post any changes.

Sameer,
The pain in his neck that my son began complaining about last Spring is now a daily, if not hourly complaint. He often asks me to lift him up by his head. This 'traction' seems to provide some relief.
Two days ago he caught a 'cold'. The first one since we returned to home-schooling in March. No fever, no chills, but a painful nose / sinus. He says it 'feels like I have 25 sneezes stuck here' and points to his bridge. It is irritatingly painful. Today, day 3, he finally began to sneeze which seems to bring relief. The mucus is apparently loosening because he carries his handkerchief around everywhere today, too. He is only wanting fresh fruit (apples, kiwi, mandarins) and warm vegetable broth and baked yams.
Of possible significance, 2 weeks ago one of the therapists in our community gave my son a one hour massage session hoping to bring some relief to the pain in his neck. It included some deep work in the gall bladder and liver meridians. The session went well and my son enjoyed it and hopped, skipped and jumped his way all the long walk back to the car.
The next day as we were trying to go out the door so I could go to work, he melted into another tantrum of increasing emotional depth, spiraling from 'I don't want to' to 'I don't know what life is for. I am just a nucsance, I don't know why I was even born.' Spoken and partially yelled with such deep emotional angst that I have never even heard in an adult. I almost fell off my feet. I was at a complete loss for the hour or more that this went on.
The next day he seemed perfectly fine. We spoke about the incident and how better to go about releasing these sorts of feelings should they arise again, and how to ask for emotional support from people around you in this circumstance.
So at the moment the main complaint is this new form of a cold 'stuck' in the sinus.
Any suggestions or questions?
Thank you
Jennifer

Sameer,
Since the last posting, these symptoms have shown.
1- At dinner one night he said he had EAR RINGING. When asked further he said it has happened before but usually only when he is alone in his room. This was the first time in my presence (so the first I am hearing about it).
2- The PAIN IN HIS NECK is still constant, but usually minor enough that he can ignore it. But about once per day it flairs up significantly so that he complains.
3- Complains daily of GRUMBLING STOMACH. Usually at night, but yesterday it happened early afternoon.
Otherwise he is emotionally peaceful. Is helpful around the house, eats well, sleeps well, wakes very happy.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Jennifer

So, right now, what is bothering him , just the concerns 1 through 5 in the last 2 posts above ?
These seem minor to me.

Sameer,
My son is having a very difficult time and it is affecting his ability to do his (home)school work. And deeply affecting the family.
He went to his fathers house Saturday and Sunday. When he came home Sunday afternoon he immediately wanted a hug and I could tell something was bothering him, but we had to run off to music lesson.
By Monday he was throwing tantrums about every little thing (dropping a pencil, practicing his cello, practicing his oral presentation). For the weeks before going to his dads he was enjoying these activities thoroughly.
After 24 hours of this emotional roller coaster I offered to just hold him. So we sat on the sofa together and breathed in silence. But after a few minutes I could feel this nasty dark energy moving from his body into mine. He was beginning to feel better and even smile (had not done so since returning home). When I asked him to get out of my lap, he began to feel miserable again, but I was free of the blackness that made me feel like I was going to suffocate or drown. In the 24hours since THEN it has only gotten worse.
To move this energy out of him we have tried: walking in sunshine, taking hot baths, jumping on the trampoline, eating, sleeping. Nothing shifts this angry, frustrated, sad, dark energy in him.
He is perpetually sad/unsatisfied. He keeps hitting his head saying his brain isn't working. Then laying around like a slug on the floor.
He has also complained of being cold three times(he is NEVER cold), he has asked for hot food (he always wants his food cold), he keeps closing the window even though it is a beautiful 75 degrees outside. He feels like he is sleeping alot (I don't think 10 hours is too much)
Just before going away for the weekend he complained of random sudden itching/bugs crawling sensations on his torso (2 times) on his legs (once), and another location I do not remember. He also complained of a pain in his eye 'like the side of a needle being pressed in'. Same eye 2 times, then both eyes once.
He is currently growing 'shark teeth' in which new teeth come in directly behind the old ones. There is a possibility that these two new teeth are not the replacements for those in the front, but his incisors that should be coming in on the side. (dentist will look next week)
All of the previously listed physical symptoms seem to have passed, except the pain in his neck. His neck hurts ALL the time. I spend 30 mins massaging it every night so he can sleep.
symptoms same morning and night.
Can I answer any questions? Please help we can't go on like this. The constant yelling and throwing and tension hanging in the air is suffocating.

Sameer,
A few hours after the last post, my son was finally able to break into a good cry and spent 30 - 45 mins. in deep breathing and crying and pounding pillows. This seemed to move out a good amount of the dark cloud, though not all of it.
It was enough clearing that he was able to eat dinner and smile a couple times, then go to bed.
Thank you,
jb
