Guest guest Report post Posted June 18, 1999 Hi there My son who is nearly three has COX deficiency (mito complex IV). He often has episodes of shaking, shivering like he is cold - but obviously he is not! Has anyone else with mito experienced this? What is going on? All help/suggestions gratefully received. Yours - . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 18, 1999 , My daughter, Savannah, is 3 and has Complex I, Encephalomyopathy. Up until Savannah was approximately 2 years old, she also had the shiver-like thing. It was a quick shiver, as if she was cold, and she would usually do it several times a day. Also, she would have short staring spells occasionally. Then from 2 years old until just a couple of months ago, we didn't see her do the shiver thing or the staring spells as much. Well, a couple of months ago, I started to notice when I would rock her to sleep that she would do a jerking/twitching-like thing. About this same time, it would appear the shiver and staring spells had resumed. Last weekend she did all three several times and she was shaky, lethargic and not eating well, so I called her neurologist. The doctor feels she is having seizures and has ordered an EEG, but wants us to consider trying a seizure medicine - even if the EEG comes back normal, as they often can from what I understand. The doctor had told us a while back, that she felt the staring spells were absence (sp?) seizures and the jerky thing was myoclonic jerks. I have only heard a few people describe what appears to be the same shiver-like episode. The motion is quite fast and I noticed it the most when she was sitting up. Savannah was very ataxic and hypotonic, the physical therapist thought that maybe because of the involuntary movements, that the shiver was a result of her trying to " center herself " . Since Savannah is now 3, she has better control and is walking. Her movements aren't as dyskinetic, so I don't feel this reasoning by the PT is as appropriate now. The neurologist does not go along with the theory either. These are the only 2 explanations I've had so far (seizures and " centering herself " ). I hope it helps. Have you asked your son's doctors about this? If so, what do they say?

Guest guest Report post Posted June 18, 1999 My son also does this. However, he doesn't shake his whole body, only his arms. He is undiagnosed (suspected mito), and had a normal EEG and MRI. We have no idea what is going on with him, sorry I couldn't be of more help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 18, 1999 , I am not diagnosed with mito, just suspect that is our problem, but I also do the shivering thing. It is when I get very nervous I do it. One time on this list there was a big discussion and quite a few people said their kids did it too if I remember right. S.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 18, 1999 Hi I mentioned the shaking to 's doctor and he did not make any comment about it as if he seemed not to think it was relevant. I didn't know if it was something to do with the mito or not. Now from what you and others in the group have said I think I'll get back in touch with him and see what he says now I have more info. Thanks - R. Mum to (Complex IV) nearly three, and Chloe age four. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, at 22, she has typical Grand Mall seizures, absence (sp?) seizures, and Drop seizures. The myoclonic jurking has disapeared except durring the grand Mall. Our son, Shea had absence seizures from birth and myoclonic episodes starting when he was 9 years old. They were particularly bad when he had any cold or flu. He turned 20 last month and took himself off the seizure meds and Carnitor when he was 18, with no ill affects. He does experence lethergy and flu-like symptoms when he doesnt get approprite sleep, and he has a learning disability, auditory discrimination, but that's about it.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 19, 1999 CLayton also has staring spells and shivering spells and Dr. Kelley does think they are seizures although the only thing his 2 eeg's have shown is some abnormal vertex waves but NO seizure activity. He does believe that although they are seizures he doesn nto want to put him on seizure meds yet - as they could actually trigger in his case other type of seizures - BUT is giving us some med to tkae home (cant remember the name) because he believes that he is a very high risk to develop seizures and that his first seizure could be a statis seizure.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 19, 1999 Hi , I know you didn't ask me, but if you are using Internet Explorer for your mail program I can help you. If you are using Netscape, I'm sure it's similar. In Outlook Express 5 go to Tools/Options/Signature. There you can put in your signature line. Just type what you want to say in the edit box. You also have a choice of attaching your sig line to all messages or just new ones. If you are using version 4 for your mail it's in a bit different place. I think it's still under Tools/options. No, I take that back, it's under Stationary which I think is on the Tools menu. Under Stationary there should be something about a sig line. You would do the same thing.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 20, 1999 is still undiagnosoed with a mito dx but she too has the staring and shiver spells, her neurologist has recommended that she take seizure meds. Said they would help her sleep better (which did happen...9-12 hours staright every day-she doesn't take any big naps during the day) and if she slept better she might develop better - which she is making progress but no milestones. She continues to twitch for 30 mins while she falls asleep. Keep us up to date on his eegs and if he does get a seizure. BTW: 's eeg showed no spikes that would be a seizure but she had waves. Her neurologist said he thought she was having them and we didn't recognise them, I don't agree. She still twitches, as I said.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 22, 2000 Protein shakes are a great way to boost your daily protein intake. They mix up with milk or water .. You can buy them at most health food stores .. and places like GNC .. I like Designer Protein brand and Pro Score 100 both in chocolate flavors. They have about 20-24g of protein per shake (you have to read the labels to see which has how much). I know my surgeon recommended the sugar free Instant Carnation breakfast shakes but those have very low protein .. although they do in a pinch.
