ADVICE PLEASE, have RXs, ready to go

November 14, 2007

Hello all,

My son, Matt 8/24/07, ASD diag as of 8/07, is about to begin his big

biomed journey. Any feedback about how to make this as painless as

possible would be GREATLY appreciated. What should we expect? Any

notes from those who have gone before so to speak? We have our RXs

from Dr. West, Santa , CA for Valtrex, flagyl, Nystatin

and Diflucan. We have put our order in at the compounding pharmacy,

and we should have our meds by Monday at the latest. She has given

us her advise, and also told us that each child is different and

responds to all healing attempts/interventions differently...and has

left it to our discretion re the dose for Diflucan as we are willing

to do liver checks. Her rec is every three days,and Nystatin on the

days off of Diflucan - has anyone else used these in combo? Opinions

on their efficacy? We can also opt not to use the Nystatin, and

just go straight Diflucan every day. She gave us the RXs and her

blessing to " do your homework " before beginning if we think there is

another/better approach for Matt. Her approach is to use both. What

is the consensus from this site?

What has been the most effective dosing strategy for all these drugs

based on parent responses on this site? ALL feedback

appreciated...it is very intimidating to push out in to what seems,

to us anyway, not very well chartered waters....Thanks in advance.

We will let eveyone know how he progresses with the interventions of

course. We will be doing supplements as well - Pfeiffer Treatment

Center's protocol...he has had a good response to the nasal spray

(language attempts, one spontaneous sign - " more " , one word " apple " ,

and muffled mumbled singing of favorite songs, and DANCING (our

favorite gain so far)to the beat of much loved kids' song.....Come

Thanksgiving, we begin. Wish us and wee Matt luck. All prayers are

welcome. Thanks again. Di
