Re: Behaviors related to supps?

[Guest guest]

,

My son did a 6 week trial of Mb12 shots this summer. We have been doing

supps/diet etc for years and so he is normally in fine humor. The first 4 shots

made him irritable, argumentative, explosive, etc. I stuck it out because

that's what the DAN doc recommended. Eventually, he was back to his old self,

but

after the 6 week trial, I had to say that I saw no changes whatsoever in him

due to the shots.

You didn't say how old your son is but ours is almost 13 and morning routine is

the worst part of our day. We saw increased negativism and resistence and anger

with MB!12 and pulled him back to every 3rd day for a while and that helped.

Behaviors related to supps?

This morning was the worst - my son wouldn't leave his bedroom, he

wouldn't go potty, he did eat breakfast, but it's getting to the

point that he won't leave any lights on in the kitchen when he eats.

After breakfast, he struggled mightily against getting dressed - it

took both me and my husband 10 or 15 minutes to get him into his

clothes. The whole experience ended with DH lying on the floor

hugging my crying son and that's how I left for work.

The most recent additions to his supps are mB12 injections,

glutathione cream, and CLO. He gets Brainchild Ultrasensitive

formula, custom amino acids, Vitamin E and 1 mg. of Prozac daily

(which is the only thing that has had what I would call obvious

positive response). Epsom salts baths every night (have never seen

any effects one way or the other). He gets Houston enzymes (AFP Pep,

ZP and NF with each meal)- when he started these in February, his

stools became normal. Low refined sugar diet.

This difficulty with the morning routine gets worse by the day but it

is the same routine that we have always followed, allowing lots of

time to transition from one thing to another - it takes a full hour

and a half from wake-up to leaving the house with him.

We aren't seeing the positives that I hear come with mB12 and

glutathione - his eye contact is already good, he's verbal but mostly

echolalic and scripted, and his normally easy going and sunny

disposition is still predominant but we're seeing lots more

resistance, frustration, and uncooperativeness.

Any suggestions?

Are you doing anything different the night before? We tried melatonin to help

our daughter sleep. We even tried Benadryl, too. I noticed that every time we

would give her something like that at night - the next day was TERRIBLE. We

struggle a little at night at bedtime, but the days are much better. We also

give the MB12 injections at night after she falls asleep. We noticed a couple of

times that she was hyper the next morning, but we've kept with the schedule and

now she's fine. Each child id so different. I hope you figure out something

soon.

Thanks for all the responses. My son is 4, was diagnosed a year ago,

started GFCF and Prozac in November of last year, started enzymes in

February, and had extensive testing and consult with McCandless in

April, and since then we've been doing a variety of supplements.

He is sometimes a little revved up at bedtime, but gets to sleep and

sleeps really well - we are very lucky. Most mornings we have to

wake him up - he would probably sleep at least another half hour if

left alone, so that may be part of it.

We're only doing the mB12 injections twice a week. Perhaps he needs

even less?

On the whole, his disposition is still very sweet most of the time -

right now transitions are more of an issue than usual. I know you

all know how I feel - it's hard to watch your child struggle.

I ordered Cal Mag from Ecological formulas but haven't given it yet,

because I'm not sure of the dose for my son - perhaps that might be

calming?
