Re: What if you can't handle the Valtrex?-

May 2, 2006

Hi, I am getting into this thread late, I have been out of town for a

while. We have not used valtrex yet, but plan to do at the end of

the month. But regarding the healing regression....do you HAVE to

have rashes, colds, etc for this healing regression? Our son has

only been on one virastop divided 2x a day and OLE 250 mgs morning

and night. He has not gotten any rashes, yet he is experiencing

extreme behavioral deterioration. He fits the viral profile very

well, it makes total sense that he is viral...has all of

the " typical " signs and all...but no rashes. Any thoughts?

when I see my son 6yr 48lbs getting the viral reactions because it

means it's working. Every reaction has not lasted long. I think

though you are on a small dose and you should be splitting it up 3x

per day. My son is on 750mgtotal with 250mg split 3x. CJ got a cold

sore yesterday that is already gone and I cheered for joy.

Kim,

I saw cold and virus activity for the 1st week, 2nd week small bumpy

rash that last one day, a few days later a cold sore that only lasted a few

hours and 1 more rash on the back of his leg for only a short time. I

wouldn't have seen these things unless I'd been checking his whole body

daily. He is also exhibiting some bad behaviors. Excessive fears and some

obstinacy, I just stand there and wait it out. He has also said 6 full

unprompted sentences to get things he wants. (Usually I have to prompt a

full sentence with sign or visuals). It's been up and down and I'm assuming

that's all part of the healing regression. He did get a nose bleed the

other night while sleeping. Supposedly it is more common is children with

dust allergies (which CJ has) and happens more often while sleeping. But I

have to say it freaked me out!! That day he had his 1st challenger baseball

game and sat in the dirt screaming for the 1st hour. I'm assuming his nose

was full of dirt and dust and was not because of any of the treatments.

Let's hope anyway. Take care, I want to add virastop next when he levels

off. -
