Sunday Night, May 15th Day 20 of Zithromax

(Morning probiotics, 4ml Prozac at 4pm, 250mg Zithromax at 4pm, 1/8 Clonodine and more probiotics at 8:30pm, 1/2 magnesium 8:30pm)

It has been a strange few days. For a wile there after Ewen started taking the antibiotics I thought he was cured. But over the past few days he seemed to become dissatisfied and antsy again, using screens to  escape and rocking back and forth on chairs. Tonight he was grumpy and wanted to be on his computer all day. We packed up our dinner in a picnic basket at ignoring his protests, the 5 of us went to the park nearby our house. We had dinner on the picnic blanket and he perked up a lot. Then some of our friends came to join us...something we kept a secret because I knew he would protest about it. But when they arrived he was happy to see his friend, Kevin. They have been friends for years but Ewen is very picky about his time with Kevin as he can be "annoying". But they had a fantastic time together, playing soccer and running around the park.

When we got home he seemed calmer and happier and when he went to bed to fall asleep he huffed once...just once. He kicked and flexed his foot once...and he wasn't swishing saliva in his mouth for the first time since this all happened. So even though his mood and jitteriness seems to be coming and going, his tics consistently seem to be getting better.

Tonight he finished his 20 days of 250mg Zithromax every day and now he will take 500mg once a week starting next Sunday.

I just want his joy to stick around. Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong?

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...

Spring Break 2017 Update

4ml Prozac, 500mg Zithromax 3x a week, 1.5 mg melatonin, less than a quarter of Clonidine Ewen is doing well. Right now he is vacuuming and mopping the whole house (all 850 square fee lol) To earn an hour of screen time playing Overwatch. We have had a few hiccups. He got in major trouble in school for hacking into the computer and writing silly things on a class web page. He said he didn't realize he would get a referral and get in so much trouble since he wasn't hurting anyone and would never bully. He also dropped his grades because he was too busy having fun with his friends. So Mike and I had a meeting with his teachers. He now has a 504 plan since he has had lots of absences.  We are paying close attention so that we can make sure he completes his assignments. Last month he was having trouble with tics (mostly huffing) and anxiety and so his pediatrician put his Zithromax up to 500 mg every day for a full week. That completely helped and was amazing to get him back...

All 3 Doing Well

Ewen: 500mg Zithromax 3x a week, less than 1/4 Clonodine, 1.5mg melatonin, Vitamin D3, probiotics, magnesium, fish oil, 16mg Prozac 8-year-old sister: 3mg Zithromax daily, magnesium, half an Oncolplex (broccoli sprouts supplement), 1mg melatonin, magnesium, iron, D3, probiotics 14-year-old sister - 250 mg Zithromax daily, magnesium, Oncolplex, 1.5 mg melatonin, magnesium,  probiotics, D3, fish oil, 20mg Prozac Ewen and his 8 -year-old sister are both doing really well now. My youngest has her energy back, no longer says "I fee bad!" all day long...in fact she never says it at all. She sleeps through the night more often and is much happier. She is still a grump, but in normal portions with lots of happiness and giggles in between the grumps. She is back to some kind of normal. The story here though is my 14-year-daughter with autism. We started out giving her pretty massive doses of Zithromax and it was just too much for her. She got very emotional and exhausted too. ...
