Normal!!


I'm posting again today because Ewen went to soccer practice tonight. I told him he could leave after an hour as DH was going out there to the fields and staying just incase. But Ewen stayed at practice the whole 2 hours and according to DH, had fun. Now he is at home. He had some food, a bath and he is currently relaxing at his computer. I just asked how he was and he said..."good!"
That is a much different answer than the previous times he has come home from rigorous exercise. I can't believe it. This is very good news. This is the normal I have been aching for for so many weeks.
-Just wanted to share!! :) Now we will see how bed time goes as I am off to boot him off his computer and usher him to bed.

PANDAS Flare - My Oldest, Phenibut and Hydroxyzine

 We joined an online doctors group out of Colorado that specialized in PANS/PANDAS. My youngest is doing great with their protocol and she is the reason we joined. My 18-year-old with autism joined and after we got rid of her gut parasites she got very anxious. Then they gave her prednisone and she lost her mind. Now almost 3 weeks post-prednisone we are still sludging through a frightening mess of anxiety, depression and OCD the wasn't there before. I have it too now since it has been so awful with my oldest. I have to take anxiety meds to cope and I can't sleep at night after the hydroxyzine wears off. I'm in worse shape than she is, but mine is situational where hers is medical. To keep her comfortable I give her  8am 50 mg hydroxyzine and 500 mg phenibut 1pm 25 mg hydroxyzine and 250 mg phenibut 6pm 25 mg hydroxyzine and 250 mg phenibut I intersperse valerian calm drops and cortisol manager supplements between the doses. And then I pray it holds until bed time since tha...

The Chair of the Pediatric ER Wrote Back!!!!!

Ms. ....... Thank you very much for bringing your son’s case and experience to our attention. First of all, I hope that Owen is still doing much better. I absolutely understand how devastating this could be in terms of a missed opportunity to appropriately diagnose. I have to say that in reading your email and updating my knowledge about the condition, I could see how it may be quite difficult to make a diagnosis accurately in an Emergency Department setting and I could see why things occurred in the manner in which they did. That said, I am very sorry that we let you and your family and your son down in this way. Our Pediatric Emergency Department are staffed by a group of very expert pediatric emergency medicine specialists trained in some of our nation’s leading teaching institutions who I was able to recruit here to ...........  to take care of our community. I know that the fact that we were not able to expeditiously diagnose your son’s condition caused a great deal o...

11-Year-Old Daughter Now Struggling

 Now my 11-year-old daughter has PANS. My son, Ewen, who I started this blog about a few years ago is doing great. He still has Zithromax when he has flares but does amazing on Zithromax and is back to baseline while taking that. He's happy and social with lots of friends, and doing very well with his online schooling.  My youngest though, she is 11 and she is suffering badly. This is what I gave her today: Morning Valtrex (for mono.. Epstein Barr) Vitamin C Fish oil lipothiamene Evening Zithromax 250 1/2 a Zyrtec 1.5mg melatonin disolvable 7 mg fluoxetine (She was on 5 and I'm working on moving her up to 10mg) She had been taking another antibiotic, I'm blanking on the name. It wasn't augmentin because she is allergic to that. Maybe Cefalexin? But anyway, I took her off that and put her back on Zithromax tonight because she is tanking and I'm scared. I'll call her pediatrician tomorrow and make sure she is on board with the switch. My DD is feeling stuck and wa...
