Guest guest Posted November 8, 1999 Report Share Posted November 8, 1999 , We have the same problem in determining whether improvements are happening. We've had sudden improvements that were unmistakable, but the more subtle improvements are much harder to see when you are with the child all day every day. I find her OT is helpful in this regard, as she sees my daughter weekly. Her teachers are not as much help, I'm afraid. She has a mom volunteer in her math class that commented on my daughter's improvement from last spring to this fall, but no one else at school has said a thing. I think they still see her deficits. Keeping notes helps, especially if you see something new occur, or if you suddenly realize it's been a few weeks since the last meltdown, or chewing on the coat, or whatever problem behavior you often see. I use a calander for this. It's the occasional setbacks that remind me how far we have come. As far as the worsening of outbursts on Nizoral, there is a die-off period that you just have to grit your teeth and get through. I haven't figured out how to tell if a problem is a die off reaction or simply a bad reaction to a new supplement or medicine. Maybe the way you tell is that with a bad reaction, symptoms get worse with time, while with die off they eventually get better. With any substance that can produce a detox or die off reaction, start with a low, low dose and work up from there to lessen the bad reaction. Our Dr. had us go on a yeast free diet, then start with 1/4 dose Nystatin, then 1/2 dose, then a full dose. Good Luck. K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
