Huffing Again Oh No

8am probiotics, 4pm 4.2ml Prozac, 9pm probiotics and 1/4 of a 3mg melatonin

It is 4am and I can't sleep because I'm so bothered that Ewen started huffing again this evening after not huffing for at least a week. He's also dissatisfied again and hasn't talked about having a fun day in a while. Everything is simply tolerated. But he did have fun playing dodgeball in PE yesterday.

Possible Reasons:
1. I put the prozac up to 4.2 today instead of the usual 4ml
2. The Clonodine is wearing out of his system (although it never seemed to help the huffing anyway and his other tics still seem relatively ok)
3.The antibiotics aren't as effective
4. I gave him a children's probiotic for the evening dose instead of the usual probiotics from the dr.'s office.
5. I stopped giving him the magnesium when he went on his school trip and haven't given it to him since
6. Ewen's teacher told me that when she saw him eating on the school trip he ate all junk food, so maybe he needs to get all that out of his system.

So tomorrow I will give him 4ml's of prozac, a magnesium and the regular probiotics in the evening . I'll get him all squared away with what I am wondering about. I do think though that he just isn't responding as well to the antibiotics.

I had put him up to 4.2 ML's because he is still dissatisfied with everything it seems...except video games.

This shit is so annoying but it could be worse so I'll continue to count my blessings.

One good thing was that he enjoyed skyping with 2 of his classmates tonight and they all played Minecraft together. That made him happy.

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...
