Constant Distratction

(4pm Prozac 4ML's, no Clonodine for the past 3 days! 250mg Zithromax)

Ewen went on his class trip and he and Mike were gone from Wednesday night to Sunday afternoon. The class trip ended on Friday and they went to the next hotel for Ewen's soccer tournament. He was pretty beat when he got home and asked to stay home from school on Monday. I said we would see. I let him sleep in this morning until 9:30am when he woke up, then I took him into to school at 10:30. I texted his teacher and she was fine with it. I even got him breakfast at Starbucks. But at 2:15 I got a phone call from the school that Ewen was't feeling well and I needed to come pick him up.  When I picked him up we got him the car and he told me he just needed a break from an overwhelming 5 days. This irritated me because he wasn't sick and he only had about an hour left of school that he didn't stick out. When we got home he went to his computer and I started to worry if he just couldn't handle not being entertained at every second. I booted him off his computer and he immediately said he was going for a bike ride around the neighborhood. I told him he could go in 10 minutes after he had some down time. This made him upset but I told him that I wanted him to practice not having his mind occupied at every second. He grumped but hung around on his bed for a few minutes. I noticed he didn't have any tics. Then he got his phone and went off. For some reason I was more nervous about him going on a bike ride than usual and tracked him on my phone most of the time.

He seems to be doing better but the urgency to be constantly distracted is still worrisome for me. He used to be able to hang out and be OK. I saw him in a video recently where he was younger and we were all hanging out in the front yard. He came over and sat next to me, just to hang out with me for a while. That doesn't happen these days. He doesn't just come to hang out...there has to be a reason...something to do at all times.

Still Chugging Along

It has been almost a month now since the terrible effects of the prednisone.   This morning I gave 50 mg hydroxyzine and 500mg of phenibut and she still said she wasn't feeling great at 11:30am. So I gave her 3 droppers of Valerian Calm, which seems to offer a small boost of happiness sometimes.   I stopped her 5HTP and replaced it with 10mg of fluoxatine. But yesterday she said she was having a hard time peeing. So if that happens again we will have to re-evaluate.   After she is comfortable on an SSRI I want to start the minocycline antibiotic, but I don't want to do that until I get her SSRI support up incase the antibiotic makes her feel worse I read minocylcine can have negative psychiatric effects for some people). I have maxed out her supports with the phenibut and the hydroxyzine and have nothing left to give if the minocycline does something weird neurological too.  So to support myself, I took 20mg of fluoxatine (prozac) last night and feel w...

Today's Basics and a Few Blessings

(Fish oil, probiotics, 4ml prozac, melatonin) Ewen did better today than the past two. He was just a little twitchy going to sleep and was able to hang out at Starbucks this afternoon without begging for a screen to look at. I told him I thought he had lost the ability to entertain himself so he said he was going to try. I told him last night that to go to sleep you have to be calm and let yourself think and then fall asleep. I said to make sure to keep Trash (what he calls his anxiety and OCD) out of it and he agreed. He still needs me to sit in there every night while he falls asleep. So I sit in his bean bag and play Clash Royal on my phone. Today he did well overall I think. I also wonder if it is because we are on the 3rd day after taking 500mg of Zithromax? He was huffing a bit today though, but not all day long and mostly when he was playing video games on his computer. I am still taking Prozac too and it makes me very sleepy. I could sleep all day. It is very hard to get ou...

Out of the Hole

( 4ml Prozac, fish oil, 1/2 magnesium, probiotics, 1mg melatonin) Today Ewen went to a birthday party a couple of hours from home and had a lot of fun. He hung out with his dad a lot today which is what he used to do before he got sick. When he got sick he completely switched from Mike to needing me 24/7. He was not interested in hanging out with Mike. Daddy was all about watching soccer, playing soccer, enjoying everything that Ewen was good at and going out and having fun. Mommy was there to make sure he was feeling OK. So he switched from Mike to me. I realized this morning as Mike got up early to get Ewen's soccer stuff together and go to the store to get a present for the party, that he was taking over his old role as Ewen's care taker. I like that because Ewen has to be so active all the time that I don't have time to spend with the girls. So if Mike focusses on Ewen with his crazy social life and activities, I can focus on the girls and everything else. It was re...
