Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks, a, for giving me some personal insight. I've read a lot, but you would definitely need a qualified doc to get an accurate diagnosis. My son isn't on ADHD meds right now; he is a patient of Dr. G's, so he does take an SSRI and now Tenex, both of which have improved the situation. I do know that stimulant meds would make bipolar symptoms worse. He definitely cycles, with an " episode " every 7 to 10 days. When he goes, he goes--there's no talking to him, reasoning with him, etc. He believes everyone hates him and we're all trying to " get " him. His response to things is way over the top and he refuses to take responsibility for anything he did or said because he believes it was someone else's fault. After it's over, he is genuinely remorseful. Does any of this sound similar to Bipolar Disorder?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi Robyn, I thought that Bipolar Disorder is a " chemical imbalance " in the brain? A family member has this disorder and his Psychiatrist prescribes certain medicines for that. I'm just not sure what those medicines are because he won't talk about it.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Just to consider - a lot of the information known to about infectious disease's and the immune system's impact on psychological symptoms comes from immune studies in bipolar, schizophrenia, and dementia in addition to the cognitive dysfunction in AIDS dementia. The protocol would very likely help bring improvements in bipolar symptoms as well as autism.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Robyn, yes, those things do sound similar to bipolar. One example i have heard is that a child wiht adhd wil have a tantrum but will calm down...a child with bipolar will tantrum for much longer and be pretty irrational. the difference is in the degree of hte tantrum, and in how long it lasts. thati s only one example...but it might help..=ka " Mom, I'm 6 years old now.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Robyn Nids and the associated illnesses are best defined by the relationship to CFS and Immune dysfunction. In mainstream medicine, Many of the Dx's you address are evaluated from Psychological, metabolism(sups) and immune function. If you focus on stabilizing the immune system the Psychological and meta issues seem to slowly melt away. > > From: Robyn & Greg Coggins <rngcoggs@sbcglobal . net> > Subject: Re: Bipolar Disorder > groups (DOT) com > Date: Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 2:13 PM > > Has anyone's child been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yes, a. That's exactly the way he is. He will also get physical--threatening to hit me or struggling when I'm trying to prevent him from doing something dangerous. These episodes, thank God, are few and far between and we are seeing improvements in frequency, duration and severity on the protocol. All the best, Robyn ________________________________ From: ka <erickawaymorgan@...> Sent: Wed, May 12, 2010 8:27:49 PM Subject: Re: Bipolar Disorder Robyn, yes, those things do sound similar to bipolar.
