Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 hi michelle, i am sorry to hear this, but it does sound that your body is improving through the continous sickness, zachary was not so well at the beginning of valtrex but then he improved with the neurofen 3 months later, as i didnt want to give him steroids, [not quite sure why as it might help his weight gain] but i think if you perservere you will improve, how is harry doing ? ps. zach now seems to do well on acyclovir at present but we are just about to switch to valtrex again...but he has been on them since sept, and when i did acyclovir 2.5 years ago he was quite ill back then, now that his immune system is rapidly improving so therefore is the anti virals, Isobel > > > > > > Hi Harry has been on aciclovir for 6 weeks now, prior to that i did alot of natural antivirals, I seem to be constantly ill since starting antivirals with him,Im guessing this is what they called viral shedding, anyone know how long before they stop viral shedding, its getting beyond a joke how often im getting ill now.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi dreadful isn't it? We saw that in our house with Cease but to a lot lesser extent of what you are seeing , I was sick with a flu like .....but we are seeing positives as well DS done a SALT assessment yesterday where she asked him a lot of questions about feelings which would have send him ragging and running , instead by pointing he answered them all, my jaw was on the floor. I can wait for Dr G to say DS very low cholesterol is sorted so we can think about virals as I am sure we will see more gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks , I have emailed Dr G at Sincere Health, i do feel Harry needs a higher dose of aciclovir and hopefully that will stop him shedding and therefore stop us getting ill. Home schooling has grinded to a halt today as i have completely lost my voice. x To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: cmdsdias@...Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 06:40:03 -0400Subject: Re: Re: Viral shedding Hi dreadful isn't it?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Mandi, that is so cool. Has Sam ever tried facilitated communication or one of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 He doesn't need facilitation, he needs motivation, I have never seen him do it but Tom and Joe have to find his youtube stuff, he can type and spell for that. We tried him on a friends son alphabet board, no interest at all, school are going to try with an ipad, he is so stubborn, nowt to do with autism, that's just genes Mx Mandi, that is so cool.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Mandi, I have similar with re: motivation, in his case it's definitely the autism because outside of destruction and climbing he has no interest in things. It's been a constant problem on home programme because they really rely on that motivation either being there or being cultivated, but no joy here. He has some interest in ipad but mainly ITVplayer which probably satisfies his short attention span because he can flick around as and when he fancies without having to master any tricky controls. The reason I put this down to his autism is because poor play skills were the first red flag in both my boys and stubborn doesn't explain apathy to this level, he just couldn't give a hoot about anything.
