Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi All, We decided to trial acyclovir for my ten year old HF son two weeks ago, mostly because a friend who's son has exact profile (regressive ASD, gut,viral issues) uses acyclovir and her son is pretty much recovered. We have been on LDN since last July with excellent results, but still seeing signs of viral cycling ie; red spots on upper lip followed by dark red spots on butt, gut inflammation, and behavioral deterioration. Aidan has had a history of wierd viral rashes, HSP, and bacterial overload. He also has a positive ANA, and does best on antibiotics such as cefzil or amox. The first week on acyclovir we saw pimpley spots on his chin and some spots on his legs. Language has absolutely taken off in a big way nearly from the beginning! His bowels are moving more regularly as well. This morning when I took him in to school, he walked up to a young woman in a wheel chair and asked her if her legs hurt, then held her hands and told her everything would be okay. I was nearly sobbing it was so damn sweet! Just thought I'd share in case anyone with an older child is hesitating to try. Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashes on the but sometimes are fungal and very rarely caused by a biotin defeciency. Rashes can be cultured quite easily by a dermatologist. You just take a swab to the skin and look at it under a slide or culture it. Very easy for the child if you want an exact diagnosis. So glad your child improved!!!!!!!!! > > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
