Guest guest Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 > What if autism is found for some to be an endocrine disorder? But some of you here have said that for years anyhow!! This seems to be the case for my daughter. Not sure exactly what is going on yet, but, she is on a range of hormones and is doing amazing, especially with eye contact, empathy, awareness etc. This is all very interesting and when I was reading about postural hypotension etc. my immediate thought was what about hormones and the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. We are waiting for Dr Goyal's thoughts on this for my daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think my mum has electronic one from chemist...I will ask her. But I don't think BP problem as I would notice him falling esp getting up fast. Is Sam's BP being done different times of day? Should try and ensure he sits for 10 minutes and relaxes before BP. It is the bottom reading I would be more interested in though and there is some variation their....upto 10 ok but 15-20 is difference? Is same machine/cuff used each time also? You need to ask them to check it sitting and then reflate it and ask Sam to stand whilst they measure again...this will show drops in BP. > > > > > > > > > From: is Green <alexis.atrekkie22@> > > > Subject: Re: Neuro AutonomicDisturbances > > > To: _Autism-Biomedical-Europe _ > (mailto:Autism-Biomedical-Europe ) > > <mailto:Autism-Biomedical-Europe%40yahoogroups.com> > > > Date: Wednesday, 7 December, 2011, 18:16 > > > > > > > > > > > > Â > > > > > > > > > > > > i haven't been diagnosed with POTS but my autistic friend suspects he > has. > > > > > > -- > > > is > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi Mandi, No she hasn't which is very frustrating. She hasn't put any on though and she has grown a couple of inches since she started the hormones, and her body shape has changed slightly, so she does look slimmer. I have been told that the truncal obesity is likely to be growth hormone deficiency - I would love to trial her on this, but, need a prescription which I can't get at the moment. Even though she is growing in height, she may still not have enough Growth hormone for the rest of her body - so my research is telling me! Sorry about your toe - hope that it is better now. Interesting about the reflexology showing hypothalamus and pituitary issues. Good about the weight loss!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am writing to just share my ds experience so far. Ds returned in December for a repeat Autonomic test. After the test spoke with Dr G. It was excellent news! Ds autonomic test was normal. Dr G not quite sure why considering the 2 earlier tests 1 at BS in Sept and by NHS Neurologist in Oct showed 'disturbances'. The neurologist picked up ds had very low vit D. Dr G wondered if a type of hormone that effects VitD had something to do with it but then stated the HBOT ds is having and the LDN boosting the immune system also and the ketotofin increasing mass cells may have all played a part...what ever the cause it is now normal and oxygen levels are at 72....which is spot on normal with weekly HBOT, dread if I reduce it! Sadly though ds had nutritional blood tests done as is extremely deficent in many vits and minerals, including cholestoral which was 2.7. Ds has been on this supplement now 4 weeks, I have not really seen anything. Ds was on Iron over the holidays and I can only do the 9 days out of 21 days as it upsets his stomach. Vit A< B1,B2,B6,C,D introduced today and will add zinc and vit E when they come. Dr G thought a 'viral' cause may be the problem and all viral bloods have proven negative so far (measels, herpes, CMV). Consultant Paed will do all bloods in 2-3 months and also do glandular fever...I am however more interested to see if ds has CFS or an immunine disorder of some kind? But that is another visit to Dr G! Consultant Paed has confirmed ds has a gluten demetitis and I will give ds full gluten at Easter to have gluten tests again. A bit nervous as ds has been gluten free for 4 years but the 'trial' gluten in December I took photos of ds face...gets blisters up nose too, not very nice! I gave ds the test dose of Propanolol but felt it made ds very drunk like and cognitive ability reduced, so we have given that a miss. Anyway will update in next few months when I get more results. > > Dr G did an Autonomic test on ds 7yrs old. He prescribed Ketotifen and will reassess this month (3 months since starting Ketotifen). The result was quite marked and by the effects of the medication it is likely to be viral related.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi Mandi, The results I have seen is down to HBOT - more language and more switched on socially. Also his gross motor skills have improved slightly. He has started to eat veggies for the first time (ok hidden in soup but even soup and meat has steak most nights now to help increase iron) so diet is becoming more open! The LDN stopped him giggling constantly and became calm. However 'physical stamina' and 'get up and go' he remains exhausted! Like CFS basically! He can do 15 mins in park then exhausted and needs to literally lye on his back! His lactate levels also returned to normal (forgot to mention). They were slightly abnormal 6 months earlier. He had markers for slight mito dysfunction. I can't say it has effected his 'cognitive' or 'behaviour' as these were okish because of ABA anyway. I guess the restricted diet and gut issues due to the MMR has taken it's toll? I don't know! Vit D was extremely low which was worrying. He seems more grown up too in emotionally and slightly more social (but this last factor could be school also). Sorry that is not clear is it! > > > > Dr G did an Autonomic test on ds 7yrs old.
