Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 No, not forever, the empathy takes time, for a lot of our kids, Jan. And for the record, when I am hurting I can be pretty hard on the people around me, as we all can. You are early in the process, you don't know what he will be when you are done. Ours didn't get really empathic until about 3/4 of the way through chelation. I know I am the worst example of this, but try not to worry. Your boy is a work in progress, I look forward to hearing about the first signs that he is showing concern for others. Up the GSE, think about adding either Candex and/or Sac Boulardi, and if it gets really bad think about some rx antifungals. We are going to start the Sac Boulardi when we are through our cycle of Diflucan. Probably the OTC ones will be enough for you, ours got so bad the dr was afraid they would have to hospitalize and IV her, scared me to death.
