Don't Know What To Do

Today wasn't as good and I don't know if it was because we brought down the dosage of the Prozac a bit or because Ewen didn't sleep well last night (woke up 3 times) or what. But he was a down in the dumps when he came home from school this afternoon. He said he didn't really like school today and I worried that we paid for the whole rest of the school year and what if he isn't ready or if he has trouble there. He told me today there is a kid in his class who is  a big jerk. He didn't have to deal with any really big jerks at his last school, except his teacher.

I gave him 4ML's tonight to slowly get him back up to 5 possibly. But he still has his tics of flexing muscles, tapping, huffing and now sometimes he swishes saliva in his mouth. But sometimes when he is talking or relaxed and happy he doesn't huff. But he does huff and tic when he is watching Youtube videos on his computer.

He was happy at 5ML's but such a twitchy mess. I don't know what to do.

My therapist texted that she had to go home sick today and couldn't see me. A small part of me wondered if I stress her out too much with this Ewen business.

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...

Past Few Days

Tuesday night - 500  mg Zithromax 4ml prozac, melatonin, fish oil, 1/2 magnesium, b12 1000mg Wednesday day, working hard to not be anxious all day, depressed at night. Wednesday night - 4ml prozac 1/4 of a 3mg melatonin, fish oil, b12 Today - Thursday...better than Wednesday but still dissatisfied and "addicted to fun" as he puts it...always needing to be entertained. I took his phone away when he wanted to play in the car. I didn't want him to go from his computer screen to his  phone screen and never be looking away. I worry when he feels like he has to distract himself all the time. After his first dose of Zithromax he was in bad shape the first two days then better by the 3rd. Tonight - 1/4 Clonodine (I wanted him to sleep better tonight after his depression and freak out last night).  fish oil. He is still awake. It is 10:40 and he fights going to sleep and he fights getting off the computer. I am still doing better on the Prozac but it makes me tired and...
