STAN.. HELP.

[Guest guest]

stan (or anyone who can help, i'm desperate),

my son,nick (4 1/2 yrs. old) has been on valtrex since july 10th. i

also switched from nystatin to diflucan about a week prior to that.

he had an initial regression period that lasted for about 10 days.

he became stimmy, aggressive, hard to transistion and has had his

hands in his mouth a lot (even after upping his zinc dosage). after

the ten day period, he seemed to even out a bit except for the oral

fixation. on the 24th, i upped his dosage to 3x a day (250mg, 3x a

day) based on stan's advice. i didn't notice any noticable

regressions until the last few days. he's been very emotional,

aggressive, teary and angry at times. his yeast seems to be under

control because nick's first sign of yeast is trouble sleeping.

he's actually sleeping best right now... approx. 12 hours. he's

asleep by 8:15pm and i've had to wake him almost every morning for

school by 7:45. he wakes very happy and ready to go.

another big concern of mine is his loss of appetite. he already has

a very self-restricting diet and has begun to eliminate even more

foods. i'm not sure if the valtrex is upsetting his stomach or just

causing a loss of appetite. i've also started him on milk thistle

in order to help support his liver throughout his treatment.

what is going on with my son? i know that aggression is usually

bacteria for nick but he has been taking primal defense in place of

his usual culturelle since july 3rd. he seems to be doing well on

it. not sure if i should try upping his dosage of that or not.. i

know that sometimes when the yeast moves out, the bacteria moves

in. help? is this just the usual adjustment period?? i must say,

i haven't seen any gains to speak of. there could possibly be some

increase in speech but i'm not sure if that's because i'm trying

desperately to find some gains.

i feel terrible. i hate to see him so out of sorts. he has become

terribly visually stimmy which had tapered off for some time until

now. tonight, i took him to the park which he usually loves. he

went down the slide once and just lost it. he started crying and

sobbing for no apparent reason. he was smacking me, punching me and

pulling my hair. this child is usually so gentle and loving. it's

so upsetting. he has had his hand in his mouth, playing with his

tongue and his spit constantly. for a while there, he seemed to do

these things and after about a week of upping his zinc dosage, the

symtoms seemed to subside. it doesn't seem to be working this time.

nick currently takes:

all 3 of houston's enzymes for 2yrs.as an alternative to diet.

diflucan 1x a day

primal defense 2x a day

magnesium citrate for constipation since starting LDN 1x a day

LDN, 3mg. at 11pm every night

coromega 1x a day

milk thistle 1x a day

valtrex 3x a day

brainchild's minerals and liquizinc.

he currently cannot tolerate any vitamins but will try again this

month.

please help. i am beside myself. it's completely heartwrenching.

thanks in advance,

tracey, proud mom to nick, 4 1/2 years old.
