Re: Introduction and hair loss

[Guest guest]

Aww thank you Helen, I will get some and see. Your G.P. sounds good. We have an appointment next week to see my sons G.P. as it's not an emergency.

How is your sons height?

The only thing that makes me question the thyroid issue is the mention of lethargy, my son has oodles of energy a fact that often goes against him at doctors appointments, they are unlikely to equate such energy levels with a child who may be poorly even with the underweight and height, hair thinning etc.

Yes he has large pupils and drinks a fair amount of water, has started to wee excessively, but he doesen't startle to sounds in fact you would be forgiven for thinking he was deaf, if you dropped a stack of plates and everyone jumped out of their skin he wouldn't move a muscle, he can hear but he loves things to be extremely loud, the RAF doing flypast at low altitude is source of great joy to him and something that sends everyone else running indoors as it's ear splittling!

Haven't done the epsom salts for a very long time, no reason why to be honest maybe I should get back onto it.

Would love to hear more of . I'm sure you will love this group they are an amazing source of knowledge, really, and very nice with it lol.

Iv'e had that suggested before by other parents, the problem is as usual the people here think I'm just such a wacko, they did an observation hearing test and were satisfied he could hear.

He is trying so very hard to talk and it's clear he really struggles with certain sounds and things, it leads you to believe he really doesen't catch everything that is said.

One day when he is fully recovered I will write a book about all the brick walls Iv'e come up against lol.

Thanks

>>>Hi Vicky

Do you thnk he would cooperate with some type of Auditory Integration Training? YOu can do the Listening Programme at home. Caroline has my discs at the moment but you could borrow then after maybe?

www.advancedbrain.com

In AIT they talk about only being able to hear the sounds your voice contains. We got our first recpetive langauge since regression doing on it Sam when he was 4.

My then 5 year old, chronic glue ear, never passed a hearing test low tones before TKP passed with flying colours afterwards and we didn;t even do the whole programem with him.

They have to listen to 15 (extended) or 30 mins per day for 16 (extended) or 8 weeks. we did 15 mins with Sam. Building up tolerence of headphones from 3 mins slowly, we had to hold them on and walk around with him to start with in those days, he couldn't sit still for a minute! But by the time we worked up to six minutes (2 mins per per track x 3) he was actually enjoying it. After a few weeks on 15 mins he would lay on the sofa and ut the headphones on himself

I used ot do it after the Epsom Salts bath and lay him on sofa rub his feet while he listened and sometimes dropped off to sleep. Worth a shot if you think he will play ball ?

Mandi I would be delighted to borrow them after Caroline, thanks very much.

Latest news from school is the highlight of his week is his meagre one hour speech therapy, bless him, I know he is trying very hard.

Vicky,

Your child would certainly equate, though, with a Sympathetic Nervous System (Fright or Flight) unopposed by the Parasympathetic (Relaxing) . I just found out recently that sulfur is necessary in the metabolism of Acetylcholine which is what is needed in the Parasympathetic system.

Does your son have the telltale dilated pupils and maybe constant thirst and is easily startled?

And are you using Epsom Salts which might restore some sulphate and eventually some to the acetylcholine pathway?

stuff.. Yes is short for his age and has smaller feet than

most his age. Even though he is 6, he wears trousers size 4yrs and

we have a struggle to keep these up!! Despite all this he has oodles

of energy too. Just don't know where he gets it from.

Hmm,, Epsom salts might be worth a try again. Have you had his hearing tested? Possibly he can only hear at certain frequencies...

Best,

Mandi,

Can I ask, what are the discs you have for AIT. It is something I have tries to

investigate for without much success.
