Done with Virastop? /Stan

[Guest guest]

You guys are really fabulous! I learn so much here!!! We have our

DAN consult in 2 weeks (waiting for final labs after a bad reaction

to LDN) and one thing I wanted to discuss was Valtrex. So in the

meantime I decided to do a short trial of Virastop. We started at 2

caps and increased to 11 with 1 OLE. The first week we saw a huge

yeast flare (drunken giggling) like we haven't seen since we started

SCD years ago. I had stopped his a.m.-empty stomach Pep to put the

Virastop in that dosing slot (Pep is the only long-term treatment

for yeast that we've had success with). The people on the Enzymes

board didn't think the two would be bad together...

Anyhow, the first 10 days we saw the yeast - got that under control -

and then saw 3 days of what is typical low-grade flu behavior.

Whiny, oppositional and weepy. First day I said to ASD son (in

frustration) 'Well, why don't you take a nap!' To which he promptly

laid down and slept for 2 hours (but still slept full night as

well). He did this for 3 days and then it resolved. He continues to

be a little loud and 'sensory' which are usually yeast for him so

I'm definitely going to ask the DAN for some Diflucan - but we saw

no rashes or anything else after the first 10 days even though we

continued to up the dose. I'm kind of thinking that we've done what

was to be done with Virastop, but would like your input...

I'm curious what Valtrex will do... BTW my son was NOT a regressive

ASD kid - had symptoms from Day 5... I'll see what his DAN says,

but I'd appreciate your input about the Virastop!

Thanks,

AMK
