Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi, We are on Day 16 of Antiviral therapy (with Antifungal & Antibacterial in place). My son is seriously clenching his toes together, criscrossing his fingers or holding them in a budda position and grinding his teeth hard. Have you experienced this? If so what did you do to resolve the issue? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I would definitely take your son to the doctors or even the ER today and have him looked at . This is not normal, he may be having a bad reaction to the medicine or something else is going on. This could be seizure, brain/spinal cord problem ect.. @...: simple_treasure2003@...: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 05:57:06 +0000Subject: Criscrossed Fingers/Bubba Clenched Hands - Antiviral Day 16 Hi,We are on Day 16 of Antiviral therapy (with Antifungal & Antibacterial in place).

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 What you may be experiencing is die off from the antiviral. You should call Dr. G and check in. The die of usually occurs after 10 days to two weeks. It is like all the autistic symptoms are ten times worse. Die off is awful. It is especially difficult because you feel like you are going backwards. But after die off, you see a kid that is much clearer. The silly and drunken behavior starts to go away. Now they can learn to stop pinching or biting. (Or whatever your child does. Before it was impossible to teach) I tried the pills myself just to see what it was like. You feel like PMS times twenty. During that time we didn't do anything complicated. They feel sick. Tylenol helps along with doing things they find relaxing. If it is really bad call Dr. G. He may tell you to either increase or decrease the dosage. You can also use some activated charcoal, but be careful when you give it, because it will absorb all medications too. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi- I could be wrong but it sounds like he is needing deep proprioceptive input. I'd suggest squishing (like laying on top of him w/pillows or other good smooshing games, wheelbarrow walking (holding his feet), hanging from a bar, jumping on a tramp ... I clench teeth, dig my fingernails into my fingertips, curl my toes all when I feel my 'sensory' system feeling real agitated. It's just an undefinable discomfort. I know one of my triggers is yeast, as well as a bacterial infection, but sometimes I don't know why. A wrong probiotic can do that to me too, as well as hormones. Heck, anytime I feel out of sorts! lol It's not that bad to experience, and hopefully will pass soon.
