Hello new here! re my daughter

[Guest guest]

Hi again everyone. Sophie is 16 and does not have a diagnosis of Aspergers

Syndrome - we strongly suspect she has it but very high functioning. She is

adverse to any suggestion that she may have Aspergers.

She is suffering badly with extreme mood swings, PMT, depression, migraines,

self harming (from age 14-15), feeling sick, irregular periods (she has been

tested for polycystic ovaries and is borderline - I have this condition also) so

we decided to take her to the doctors a couple of months ago and the GP put her

on the Dianette pill to help regulate her cycle, hopefully even out the PMT and

clear up her acne - although the acne is virtually clear now after an aggressive

course of Roaccutane acne treatment for 6 months with a dermatologist last year.

Over the last several years she has missed alot of school due to ill health

which has been debilitating. She is off school again this week. We have also

had the education welfare officer on our backs a couple of times about her lack

of school attendance, of which I have put them right! I have also explained

everything to my daughter's teachers about the possible AS and the borderline

polycystic ovaries etc. and that we were trying to work out the best solutions

for her.

Sophie has agreed today she wants to come off Dianette, its making her symptoms

far worse. She has an extremely poor diet and chooses very bland foods, nearly

as bad as my ASD 13 yr old sons diet. Her whole body is out of kilter.

Has anyone taken their child to Muscroft in Cheshire? Also anyone taken

their child to Tommey, The Autism Clinic? I am asking for any feedback

good or bad as I want to get both my son and daughter tested etc. Many thanks!

Hi Alison

 

Adding fish oils to our daughters diet and regular visits to the cranial osteopath have regulated her periods.. the fish oils help stop cramps and tummy aches and are also good for the skin ... they help body deal with junk fats if diet is unbalanced.. and improve brain function too.

 

Poor blood sugar control can do the depression, mood swings pmt STUFF too.. so a diet high in refined sugars and carbs will be aggrevating blood sugar balance.  Blood sugar issues can also lead to anger and aggression...

 

One of the biggest missing elements in our kids food is zinc and this is often shown up in poor skin .. though many of us have found that most off the shelf zinc supps are not easily tolerated... The liquid zinc is tolerated better.

 

 

The general diet may be making her body extremely acidic..and in this acid state the body is much more likely to be receptive to viral and bacterial infections..

 

 

We have used neither nor athan Tommey... though have seen improvements with organic foods, no wheat or corn or dairy, and following the Scotson Protocol diet. which is a nutricious way of feeding the body and alkalising it at the same time.

 

 

Best wishes

Hi Alison,

helped us get us get started about 4 years ago (or boy recovered from

autism) we think she is great.

We have consulted with her ourselves too and also my parents and she has some

good advice.

I recovered from endometriosis following biomed for myself. Over 20+ years of

severe period probs. My problems were severely aggravated by the pill and,

sadly, everything that was ever prescribed. A radical change of diet and

working on gut bugs and good bacteria (we discovered fermented foods) have

completely got rid of of my period problems.

Hope things improve for your daughter.
