Huffing Less Again, Thank Goodness!

(Probiotics 8:30am, Prozac 4.1ml at 4pm, Zithromax 250 ML at 4pm, he will have probiotics and melatonin and magnesium at 9pm)

Well after my major worry freak out last night and not being able to sleep, today Ewen woke up huffing only a couple of times. Then when I picked him up from school he was huff-free again. I can't believe it. I was so worried that we were back to the huffing tic again but it looks like yesterday was the exception and not the new norm.

As we drove home from his school this afternoon I told him that we have to pick up his sisters from Grandmas's. I asked him if that was OK and he said he really didn't feel like it. I told him that before all of this, before he got "sick" that he was much more positive. I said that before he would have said, "yeah cool!" Then I told him that when he got sick and he said he didn't want to do something, it was because he was feeling horrible and I listened to him and kept him comfortable as much as possible. I said that now I don't know the level of his discomfort anymore and it is hard for me to gauge.

He said that he guessed he didn't really care if we went to Grandma's or not, he was just like, whatever about it. He said he was just looking forward to getting home and relaxing on his computer.

So we went and got the girls and he didn't hide away in her computer room. He sat on the porch  with us all and watched videos on his phone...which actually is an improvement.

Something interesting last night was that he said he thought he probably didn't need the Prozac anymore. That was nice to hear, although we aren't stopping it yet. Right now he is playing Minecraft, Skyping with a friend from school. Tomorrow is his 5th grade graduation ceremony!

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...
