Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 With the oral DMSA...I always wonder how in the world people get their kids to take it even through the night. How do you do that? I mean, if I were to wake my son in the middle of the night and try to get him to take it, he wouldn't do it. How do you all do it with oral DMSA?

How do you do that? I > mean, if I were to wake my son in the middle of the night and try to > get him to take it, he wouldn't do it. I don't wake him up. I murmur, " Pill time, open up " and slip the capsule into his mouth, then put a water bottle to his lips and he sucks and swallows. Never wakes up, takes 3 seconds. Also I have n sleep in my bed during chelation nights so I don't even have to get up. MUCH easier on me . Others use a spoonful of applesauce, yogurt, or juice -- they can give you details of doing it for kids who can't swallow caps yet.

How do you all do it with > oral DMSA? When my son couldn't swallow pills, I used a syringe. He never really woke up. Now, I use those really small capsules to put the dose in, hide it in a spoon full of apple sauce, and... he takes it. He doesn't really wake up. Actually yesterday he told me: " Mommy, tonight you should come to my room and give me apple sauce " ) Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Trish, They wake up (maybe not even), swallow it down, and go right back to sleep.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Trish, My son is 3.5 and swallows capsules, but at night I mixed the DMSA in some juice and syringed it in so he doesn't wake up. He uses a pacifier at night, so as soon as I take it out and put the syringe to his mouth, he starts to suck it, lol! We just completed 2 trial rounds over holiday break of oral DMSA/ALA every 3 hrs. He was the best I had ever seen him during the rounds, however the YEAST is the worst I have ever seen it. It has taken me almost 2.5 wks. of severe yeast stimming regression to get him back on track. I won't be going the oral DMSA route again anytime soon. With the oral ALA (we have been doing that with his td dmps for about 3 mos. now) I am able to get his yeast back on track about 3 days after the round, the DMSA mess really took me off gaurd, even though I was soooo prepared with his usual arsenal of anti fungals! - In , " jromkema " <jromkema@f...> wrote: > > Trish, > They wake up (maybe not even), swallow it down, and go right back to sleep. > Barb > [ ] Re: DMSA/Oral or TD? > > > > With the oral DMSA...I always wonder how in the world people get > > their kids to take it even through the night.
