I have had repeated eposodes of shingles. First of all it is important to get on

a anti-viral med as soon as possible. I find that Zovirax works best for me even

though you have to take it 5 times a day. I also use the cream. When the zosters

heal " capsian " cream applied will help releive the neuralogical pain that can

persist. If pain is severe pain meds are prescribed. Cool compress's help too. I

hope that this helps. Cherri

Sue,

I don't remember what my Dad drank. Anything available, if my Mom is to

believed. Incredibly, despite his alcoholism, when we were children we

never saw him drink and there was never alcohol in the house. My Mom

wasn't exactly easy to deal with when it came to having things her way.

The only brother still living drinks beer like it's water and he has for

years. He's finally admitting it's a problem (about 20 years too late) but

fortunately for his wife and daughters, he's not mean when he drinks. He

just goes to bed early and blames it on the 20 years he was in the Marine

Corps.

Mine is an Irish family and among the men, drinking has always been

traditional. Beer is the drink of choice, but my Grandfather, who rarely

drank, only drank whiskey with water. He claimed that any mixer besides

water would " rot " your insides. He kept a bottle in his closet and when,

in his opinion, a young man in the family had become a man, he'd call him

into his room and give him a shot of whiskey. But, I never saw him drink a

beer or anything else for that matter. I know that I was lucky, because no

one in my family was ever known to hit their spouses or children. My

aunts, however, say that it was a regular weekend tradition for my uncles

to get together on Saturday night, drink too much beer, and get into

fistfights with each other until my Granddad, their wives or their

girlfriends broke it up.

My grandparents were both born in Wisconsin, by the way, but were North

Dakota homesteaders when they were first married. Ever know any McGarrys,

Stockdales or Inglesbys (Grandma was English) in Wisconson?

Take care,

Geri

A few thoughts come to mind after reading the recent posts.

As a behavior therapist specializing almost solely in children with OCD, I have

met many families who have gone through years of treatment that have led them

down blind alleys and much anguish has resulted as well as loss of time and

money. Anyone's first choice would be to work with a therapist with lots and

lots of experience with childhood OCD. I have used the metaphor of therapist as

" tour guide " - you want a knowledgable one who can help you translate what the

strange and mysterious symptoms of OCD into understandable, meaningful brain

tricks- vs one who says- " I'm not sure what that is, let's figure it out " .

Unfortunately child OCD specialists are few and far between. The next best

thing is finding a child behavior therapist with whom you feel comfortable who

will buy March's OCD

in Children and Adolescents read it and use it! It is a very user friendly book

and a highly effective treatment. I think that going to someone trained in

behavior therapy is important, because they understand the model of helping kids

do things that are uncomfortable for them, one step at a time. This is the crux

of treatment for OCD- kids need to feel safe enough with their therapist to do

things that feel unsafe... like eating the grape off the floor, or shaking your

hand, etc.

Apologizing excessively is an OCD symptom- children may fear that if they don't

apologize something bad will happen. The way I have worked on this with kids is

to help them sort out when an apology belongs to them (situations where most

people would apologize) and when it belongs to OCD (situations where even their

well behaved friends wouldn't apologize)- then they take the challenge of

breaking OCD's rules. It may be too big a step to not apologize where they

previously would have, instead a first step might be say " I'm sorry... " and then

add the colloquial " not " .... or " I'm not apologizing here, even though OCD the

worry wart is saying I should " . Parents can help by saying- that sounds like

OCD's apology there- I'm only going to take yours!

504 plans are for kids who often have less severe disabilities and do not need

to be classified as they would with IDEA (individuals with disabilities

education act) which involves the IEP process. 504 can be less paper work, a

less formal evaluation process, and less risk of stigma because no label is

required. The down side is that with a 504 there are fewer checks and balances,

no funding $$ attached, no specified times for re-evaluation etc, so they may be

harder to enforce. There was an excellent article in ATTENTION! the newsletter

for CHADD (Children with Attention Deficit Disorders) written by D.

Cohen, J.D. Vol 4, Number 1, Summer 1997 which clearly describes pros and cons

of these two routes. You may want to contact them for a copy- www.chadd.org or

800-233-4050.

Best,

It certainly sounds like you are having a strange reaction. I did a

quick check of the literature and could not find a similar case like

yours, especially with interferon. Although your symptoms are odd, in

theory, it is possible for anyone to experience an allergic reaction to

anything, at any time. But, the fluid building up in the pericardium is

also unusual. A reaction like you are having should result in fluid in

your lungs, which it sounds like you may be now getting.

Since I have no idea of where you are, and what level of medical

providers you have access to, I can only offer some theoretical areas.

To slow everything down, at least until the doctors, and/or, your body

can get a hold of, several possibilities come to mind. Possibly placing

you in a state where your body does not have to fight as hard, might buy

some time to find a treatment. This can be anything from placing you

into a " coma like state " , cooling your body temperature so everything is

slowed down, or, using various drugs to place you in a comfortable, but,

totally controlled medical environment, may also help.

This is done with many severe cases of trauma where it is necessary to

slow the body's need for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. You could

be placed into a " state of suspended animation " , and allow machines to

take over your vital functions, until, everything is evaluated, and

something is figured out to help you. While this is a scary thought, it

sounds like nothing being done is working, and you need some time.

I'll keep looking, and asking around. But, it sounds like you need the

resources of a large research, high tech medical center, if you are not

in one already. I can only hope that this situation will go away as

suddenly as it came, and that, you will be in a stage of recuperation by

the time this gets to you. Nothing any of us can say would come close to

expressing what you are feeling. Just know, that, I, probably like many

others, will keep you in our prayers, thoughts, and hearts. Please

update us as often as you feel up to it. Marty

I had talked to one lady in a hep chat room who had accidentally hit a vein

or artery and had to stop treatment due to seizures as a result. I've read a

lot of stuff over the years but haven't read that particular problem, altho

I have talked to other heppers who have had some heart problems due to

combo. Of course, you don't know if they had problems before and combo just

helped em along or what.

Marie-

Stratton's protocal specifies amoxicillin (although he

may have updated this, and he thinks the doxy/zith is

fine also), so this may be what your doc is familiar

with. I think Wheldon prefers doxy because it

penetrates the blood brain barrier better, so more

appropriate for MS.

Don't be in any hurry on the Flagyl, it took 3 months

for me on a single abx (tetracycline) to tolerate the

dual abx (doxy & zith) and, another month or before I

felt the herx from this addition was down enough to

dare the Flagyl. Then I could only do one dose a week,

for about 5 weeks.

I'd pay attention to the Stratton protocal posted a

couple of days back for secondary porphyria, and get

your doc to start B12 shots.

I just started a pulse of tinidazole (I tolerate it

better than flagyl) and will be using Entreclenz for

absorbtion, and hydroquinalone to see if it helps

counter the herx as Stratton suggests trying. I'll let

you know if these make a difference.

Thanks so much Jim,

Ironically I have seen Wheldon's wife's work before

when doing a search on art. An interesting site. I did

not know that Wheldon was also an author and a poet.

If you remember I am on the Stratton protocol. I

wonder why my Doc is perscribing amoxicillin instead

of doxy. I am going to ask him.

My progress is slow. I have intermittent bouts of

severe illness. Feels like I am dying when this

happens. Stress seems to be involved. I don't know if

it is herx, porphyrines or something else. Also I am

having a lot of trouble with candida. I was interested

to see that some people have a decrease of candida as

the immune system is given a break by antibiotics.

Hope this happens soon for me. I keep going back to

square one and ramping up. Have only been able to get

up to using Flagyl one time. I think the Doc is

frustrated with me but I have to listen to my body and

slow down when I reach a certain threshold of

tolerance.

Thanks for keeping us informed about the

Wheldon/Stratton protocol.

[Guest guest]

My Doc had me " load up " with B12 before I started

taking antibiotics. Took injections of 6000mcg for

several days-then tapered off. I take injectable 1x ea

week now and sublingual 3-5000 on the days I don't do

injectable.I don't always take that much. So many

things to manage, I sometimes forget. I have a

burning sensation in my nerves that sometimes

culminate in a panic attack and sometimes clonic like

seizures. At first I thought it might be the B12 but

now I think it is either herxing in CNS or porphryia.

Very uncomfortable and scary when it happens.

Thanks for answer,

Marie,

Nerve pain, panic. Those are things that fit with a B vitamin

imbalance. Are you taking a good B complex as well as the B12?

I'm not sure about testing, for me it's been trial and error. But I

benefitted from Bs in the past, although B12 alone didn't seem to

work, neither by injection nor sublingual. B complex however,

eliminated some bizarre and nasty symptoms of very severe and

frequent internal itching (possibly some kind of nerve or histimine

reaction) sometimes accompanied by deep abdominal or uterine

pain/contractions. The B complex results were pretty miraculous. All

of those symptoms went away. Recently, I started feeling the

internal itching beginning in the palms of my hands. I hit the

chewable Bs, and that was that...gone.

When I researched the bs some more, I learned how they impact many

systems, including the nerves, the adrenals, etc. etc. But the

correct balance is very important. That's why they usually recommend

taking the B-complex, which often contains Vitamin C, Vitamin B-1,

Vitamin B-2, Vitamin B-3, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-

12, Folic Acid, Biotin, PABA, Choline, Inositol. The complex is

carefully formulated to achieve the right balance. They often call

it the " stress vitamin " as the combo helps relieve stress.

Conversely, an imbalance of the bs could increase your stress

resulting in a panicky feeling.

Since you are taking B-100s, then my first(undeducated) guess would

definitely be an overdose on the B-12, causing either some toxicity,

or depletion of your other Bs creating an imbalance resulting in the

symptoms. But this is purely conjecture on my part.

Once again, nothing's ever as simple as it seems it should be. :-)
