Things Going Basically OK Still

(4ml prozac, probiotics, 1/2 magnesium, 2 drops of D3 250mg of zithromax)

Ewen has been going to soccer camp this week and he likes it. He has been a bit more twitchy and I am going to give him a Zithromax today. He hasn't had one since Saturday because I was going to do what he Dr said and just give him one a week at 500mg. But when he doesn't have one for a couple of days he gets more and more twitchy. He has a weird nose tic now too where he scrunches it a lot.

I want to come down on his prozac since that has been linked to facial tics but he is happy and I want that to stay.

I am also taking Prozac and I really like feeling calm about stuff instead of worried about things all the time. But it affects my motivation too.

I am loving this summer. We can all get up at whatever time we want to. We took Ewen a bit late to camp this morning. I'm not going to worry about rules or responsibilities...just relaxation and fun for a while, especially since we can't afford to go on vacation this summer.  I did make the kids some chore lists for the summer and they are doing them. That makes my life much easier. My oldest makes breakfast for herself and for my youngest in the morning and  she has been making waffles with fresh strawberries and organic chocolate sauce. Then she empties the dishwasher. My youngest makes her bed and washes the bathroom sink...every morning.

Today they all get their surprises for doing all of their chores all week long. The girls got an expansion pack for their Sims game and Ewen is getting two magic cards he has been coveting for a while. Next week they have to do all of their chores without any reminders from me to get their checkmarks that lead to their Thursday surprise...we will see if that works!

I have lots of editing to do today and then the girls and I will pick up Ewen from soccer camp this afternoon. I hope he is having a good day.

PANDAS Flare - My Oldest, Phenibut and Hydroxyzine

 We joined an online doctors group out of Colorado that specialized in PANS/PANDAS. My youngest is doing great with their protocol and she is the reason we joined. My 18-year-old with autism joined and after we got rid of her gut parasites she got very anxious. Then they gave her prednisone and she lost her mind. Now almost 3 weeks post-prednisone we are still sludging through a frightening mess of anxiety, depression and OCD the wasn't there before. I have it too now since it has been so awful with my oldest. I have to take anxiety meds to cope and I can't sleep at night after the hydroxyzine wears off. I'm in worse shape than she is, but mine is situational where hers is medical. To keep her comfortable I give her  8am 50 mg hydroxyzine and 500 mg phenibut 1pm 25 mg hydroxyzine and 250 mg phenibut 6pm 25 mg hydroxyzine and 250 mg phenibut I intersperse valerian calm drops and cortisol manager supplements between the doses. And then I pray it holds until bed time since tha...

The Chair of the Pediatric ER Wrote Back!!!!!

Ms. ....... Thank you very much for bringing your son’s case and experience to our attention. First of all, I hope that Owen is still doing much better. I absolutely understand how devastating this could be in terms of a missed opportunity to appropriately diagnose. I have to say that in reading your email and updating my knowledge about the condition, I could see how it may be quite difficult to make a diagnosis accurately in an Emergency Department setting and I could see why things occurred in the manner in which they did. That said, I am very sorry that we let you and your family and your son down in this way. Our Pediatric Emergency Department are staffed by a group of very expert pediatric emergency medicine specialists trained in some of our nation’s leading teaching institutions who I was able to recruit here to ...........  to take care of our community. I know that the fact that we were not able to expeditiously diagnose your son’s condition caused a great deal o...

11-Year-Old Daughter Now Struggling

 Now my 11-year-old daughter has PANS. My son, Ewen, who I started this blog about a few years ago is doing great. He still has Zithromax when he has flares but does amazing on Zithromax and is back to baseline while taking that. He's happy and social with lots of friends, and doing very well with his online schooling.  My youngest though, she is 11 and she is suffering badly. This is what I gave her today: Morning Valtrex (for mono.. Epstein Barr) Vitamin C Fish oil lipothiamene Evening Zithromax 250 1/2 a Zyrtec 1.5mg melatonin disolvable 7 mg fluoxetine (She was on 5 and I'm working on moving her up to 10mg) She had been taking another antibiotic, I'm blanking on the name. It wasn't augmentin because she is allergic to that. Maybe Cefalexin? But anyway, I took her off that and put her back on Zithromax tonight because she is tanking and I'm scared. I'll call her pediatrician tomorrow and make sure she is on board with the switch. My DD is feeling stuck and wa...
