Has anyone ever had the same problem?

September 12, 2010

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this group and I really hope somebody of you can help me. We have a

strange problem - my son (3 years old) refuses to walk for the last three weeks

and has sensory issues that he didn't have before, whereas others have

disappeared. We are at the beggining of DAN treatment. Until now we have only

done antifungal therapy (Diflucan) only for 20 days + probiotics + MB 12 shots.

He is taking a multivitamin and mineral complex with glutathione. It all started

when he got ill with some gastroenteritis - vomiting and little diarrhea. He got

weak after that experience, which is normal, and we accepted that he wouldn't

run immediately like he used to (he was very energetic). With the time the

situation not only didn't improved but worsened - the few times he tried to walk

his legs were firslty like stiffened and then he began to drag his left leg (it

happened two years ago after one of the vaccines and lasted two o three days).

Our DAN told us that it's probably severe acidosis and prescribed an electrolyte

drink and support for the liver. His movements improved but we still have to

force him to walk - when he accepts to do it some times his gait seems almost

normal but sometimes weird (no signs of pain but it's like it is difficult for

him to control and bend his knees). The other thing is that he is insecure about

everything - many times he asks us to hold his hand to return to the sofe no

matter that minutes ago he walked alone from the same sofa to the other place or

he asks us to give him the toy that is in front of him (he reaches for it and,

almost touching it, he gives up and asks us to hand it to him). He has developed

also a light sensitivity that he didn't have before along with other strange

things and he is irritable and yells for nothing. On the other hand his visual

stims are almost gone, his eye contact has become great, he turns when we call

his name and he is overall more alert.

Has anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas what might have happened with our

baby and what to do?

Thank you in advance,

Dani
