Up and Down

4ml prozac at 4pm, 1 zithromax, 9pm 1/6 clonodine

Well it has been up and down. We met with Ewen's pediatrician yesterday and told her about how he was joyful now and up for anything. But he also said a couple of nights ago that he felt a bit anxious and had an OCD thought that the itchy part on his leg might be poison. That made me a bit dismayed because the Zithromax is supposed to be curing this stuff.  Today he has been complaining about a twitchiness in his leg. I would start coming down on the Prozac to try and help the weird leg twitchy feelings if he hadn't complained of anxiety 2 nights ago.

But overall since he has been taking the Zithromax, he has been happy and healthy and having fun. He has been more social and when he went swimming 2 days ago he talked to his sister the whole time and was very sociable and happy.  It's just these past couple of days he has been more dissatisfied and needing to be entertained every second and craving sugar like a mad man... like before. I thought we were on the road to steady recovery but I suppose it is typical of recovery from neurological issues to take two steps forward and one step back.

His huffing is much much better but I'm concerned about this leg discomfort. He said he feels like it needs to be massaged 24/7
I just gave him his Clonodine and we will see if that helps his leg.

I was shocked at his doctor appointment when she said that he may have to take antibiotics until he has an adult immune system and the newest literature was until he was 22. That is 11 more years, double his age now. I don't like to think of him as having a long term illness. But at least it isn't a degenerative one if it is treated.

So today was a bit sad. I am taking Prozac too and I was glad of it today. I didn't sink into a funk like I have previously when he has had set backs.

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. ...
