Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Hi, I'm going in to see Dr. Galpin on Tuesday. I am an ASD and I want to try the nids protocol. Dr. Galpin did a basic immune panel. I want to try Valtrex because I have reason to believe my problem is an immune response to a virus. Are the doctors able to prescribe the antivirals without specific knowledge of what viral connection exists. I want to ask him to start Valtrex but I'm not sure if the labs are going to show anything. I was tested for CMV and HHV6 but he didn't test me for VZV, EBV, Measles, ect... Also, has anyone ever heard of the black chicken pox? My mother said I had a real bad case of it when I was about four. I have scars on my face from it. I'm 31 years old. I'm starting to wonder if that was when things went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 All three of my kids take Famvir, which tastes nasty if not swallowed whole. One takes it crushed in Imagine foods rice chocolate pudding, one crushed up in frosting and another one takes 1/2 a tablet in applesauce (this took awhile to accomplish - at first I had to coat it with applesauce and put it in the back of her tongue until she swallowed it). The older kids did well in the beginning with a bite with the medicine in it followed by a plain bite of frosting or pudding. Just be persistent and bribery always seems to help. When my oldest was on Valtrex I crushed it up and put it in his ice cream (not the real stuff, the DariFree version).
