Re: My son is having a reaction....dialated pupils

[Guest guest]

I'm just guessing here, but we have seen some crying type

spells hitting her head ect on the AL A only and I have wondered

if the Mercury is moving out of the brain, because she seems

sooo much better,more " here " when it is all over!

I think Moria mentioned a while back about her eyes being real

sensitive and things kind of moving around, but now they are

MUCH better.

Can't say anything about the eye dialation since Grace's eye's

are almost black and you can't tell if they are dialated or not! ;-)

Good Luck!

You didn't mention what the dose is that you're using, but I would lower

both the ALA and the DMSA until he's more comfortable and give them every 3

hours. My daughter's 8y/o and 40pounds; we just began the ALA/DMSA after

5.5 months of DMSA-alone every 4 hours at 25-50mg 4 days on and 4 days off.

Now that we've added the ALA (5mg every 3 hours / 3days on and 11 days off)

I've lowered the DMSA back down to 25 mg again (every 3 hours with the ALA)

and she's doing very well AND improving afterwards, too. I don't think we

need to apply the rule: " No pain, no gain " to our kids. Easy does it is

much kinder; they've suffered enough.

Thank you for your replies.

It is nice to know that after this weekend, there will be a rainbow.

(I hope I hope)

And, the next dose, I lowered the ALA to @20 mg. and the DMSA I

increased a little. He seems to be doing better. At least he isn't

having the crying spells now. I'm dreading the " after midnight "

doses.

Sounds like using a lower dose next time around would be a good idea.

If he is really having a hard time, stop this cycle and wait a while

to do it again with a lower dose.

This is absolutely true. They don't need to suffer in order to get

well. Dramatic side effects don't get them well much faster than mild

ones.

Hi, Increasing my sons magnesium intake has greatly helped in the

area of crying spells, I give him the kirkman magnesuim 3 or 4 times

a day its 180 mg.

My son had crying spells for awhile and when I stopped giving him evening

primrose oil they seemed to stop. (I think the same thing happened when

using borage oil but I can't say for sure.) Has anyone else experienced

this with their child?

I personally tried evening primrose a couple of years ago, for PMS, I

couldn't stop crying so I went off it immediatley, I personally will

not give it to my son for that same reason. It made me feel terribley

depressed and the crying I couldn't control it. Leah
