...Results of Vitamin E!!

[Guest guest]

Hi and All,

I have had Jackie (3 years, suspected apraxia, no official diagnosis)

on vitamin e for about 2 weeks. I have definately seen a response

from it. Some positive and some negative. First and foremost her

running and jumping have improved dramatically. Clarity in speech,

also improved, but I havent gotten the " WOW SURGE " . Her sentence

length is up to 4 words (sometimes, but not consistant). One BIG WOW

WAS, she is unable to put certain sounds at the beginning of words

like sh, f, and v. For example " show " would be pronounced Osh. Kinda

backwards. Yesterday she woke up in the morning, and I had the news

on and she said clear as day " Mommy, I watch MY SHOW " ! (OK, SO I

GUESS I DID HAVE A BIT OF A WOW). We have been working on this for

months! She also said shoe, instead of oosh.

Negatives: Behavioral, she has been very defiant and fresh.

Aggressive behavior, hitting her brothers and sisters, more

emotional, and defiant. Not my typical Jackie. She had the same

reaction when I started her on fish oil, and again when I upped her

doses. It lasted each time about a week or 2, so I am assuming it

will subside. If not, and I continue to see improvement in speech,

tone, and coordination, I will just deal with the behavior issues.

Ok, I just wanted to give my update.

I will be taking her for a well visit next month and want to have her

tested for vitamin deficincies. I wish I had done this prior to the

supplements. I am trying to search the files and see what you

deficiencies i should test for, but like everyone else around here, i

cant find it! L-Carnitine, A, D, K and E?

Ok, thanks a million again, this site has been my lifeline. It has

helped me find Jackies voice, and I am forever grateful...
