Re: Cross post: Petite Mal Seizure

[Guest guest]

Thank you so very much. We saw his ped today. She insisted that what

I describe is more like tics and not seizures. They have stopped as

we have gotten further into antibiotics and Nystatin combo treatments

and he is actually doing better than he has been doing in three months.

Thank you for all the concerns. We started LDN and are on the third

night. Haven't worked out the full dose yet but he seem to be

responding well.

Got his DDI Urine Amino Acids result too. No elevated ammonia.

Glutamate is actually low. He eats a lot protein and the test was

given while he was on Custom Amino Acids. Lots of abnormalities.

Haven't had a chance to read the labs comments. No comments from

Doctor Yasko, even though we purchased this from testing for health

Thank you again, Haleh
