Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hello, I am new at this group. I have a daughter who is 30 years old who has a clinical diagnosis of mitochondrial encephalopathy. She is developmentally delayed, has speech and motor problems and deteriorates cognitively, motor and behaviorally after viruses and infections. She periodically becomes psychotic, racing around the house, yelling, screaming, clapping her hands, and throwing things. She is on Seroquel, an antipsychotic, Ativan, for anxiety, Trazodone for sleep and Eskalith for mood swings and the mito cocktail. Lately, in spite of the medication, she will have one of these " spells " following her monthly period or after several days of activity. Does anyone have any experience with this? She also has had a stroke like episode and has intestinal dysmotility and is mentally retarded (mental age 4-5 years on a good day) Thanks, Shelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
