Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hey there..My son has been really hyperactive for the last 5/6 weeks thought it would past ..but he just seems to be getting from bad to worst. He is up all night screaming laughing..running everywhr turning on all the lights and waking everyone up. during the day he is so loud screaming and giggling making strange animal sounds. he is on gluten and cassein free diet.. I havnt started him on bio-med as yet .. any ideas as to what it may be.. Desperate parent xx Kind Regards.. Parveen Waris Subject: Re: Not Sleeping, Melatonin NBG, Adrenals? /Anita, Anyone?To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Wednesday, 24 December, 2008, 12:39 AM Hi Anita,Thanks, I'm desperate to sort it out, sometimes I think there is nopoint going to bed as when he is lying awake he is moving the wholenight - restless legs, sitting up, trying to climb over me, kicking me,though unintentional - I get really mad with him The only upsideto his lack of sleep which is very unusual is he will have no seizures(maybe just some twitches), but when he sleeps he will certainly have agrand mal seizure or two that day.Think I'll try the AC again, we only went up to 500mg so looks like ahigher dose is worth a try considering ds weight :-) I've got the C,B's, E and high mag already in, but no chromium. I'll let you know howwe get on.If that is white noise, then the constant humming of the airconditioning in the room on holiday may have been helping!!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hi Is your child at school? If he is and he is on the diet he could be stealing or being given treats/choc/biscuits etc. I know that at this time of year a lot of c*** is at school which could be affecting him? Also, there are a lot of posts which say that some children 'regress'after the summer hols when they don't have the natural sunlight and vit D that you get from it. Also, the sheer rushing around and 'buzz' of Christmas can affect kids a lot. You prob know all this but hope things improve for you soon.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 My son stims more after Bio-Med though!! Quite worrying because he was very engaging and responsive when the Dr tested him during our first consultation.
