Barb:antibiotic reaction

[Guest guest]

Barb

Thanks for the input.....in regards to giving her something .....I don't even

want to go there....ativan or any other benzo causes her to seizure or at least

it has in the past...have no desire to revisit....so as I mentioned to in

her post I have tried upping the ratio to 3.5 - 1 to see if

that wasn't part of the issue...we'll see...today was the last of the

antibiotics so hopefully the strep is gone and we can sleep once more......

> HELP!

> Have any of you experienced unusual reactions to antibiotics when on the

diet and on almost no anticonvulsants??? Rebekah has been on suprax since

last Friday and she started to react on Monday. She threw up in the

afternoon, which is a normal reaction because it has upset her stomach

previous times. But that night she began waking up screaming, jerking and

twitching uncontrollably...almost like when she went through her frizium

withdrawl a year ago..anyway this went on all night for the next three

nights. The past two nights it has ended in a grand mal seizure in the early

morning hours.....she is getting crankier as are we all since none of us are

getting much sleep. Her ketones seem normal but am wondering if that may be

inaccurate because of the suprax in her system.....maybe we should have

upped her ratio for the time she is on antibiotics???? We had been giving it

to her at noon but today we decided to try to give it to her with her

breakfast to see if that makes a difference......she seizured 15 mins after

giving it to her......

> I am open to suggestions as to how to deal with strep throat and high

fever without antibiotics.......we certainly don't want to live through this

again!!! We have two doses left but are considering not giving her anymore

if we have a similar night.
