Autonomic Test Results - Help please

We knew at the time his transcutaneous oxygen was low but significantly better than most kids at 37% which both me and DG put down to TST

His letter says markedly variable CVT - what is that? Cardio ventricular tachychardia? Searching just brings up car stuff

Also showed highly variable blood pressure (which DG said was some of the worst he had seen)

Got spooky viral rashes from restarting Z-Natural not unlike what we saw with it before, Sam is happy as a lark and up to mischief..........hard to get photo, will try and upload later, looks like chicken pox to me

Mandi,I was looking into rashes recently. I haven't got the orginal studies but I made a mental note about chicken pox rashes and that is, if you are referring to blister type, these may actually be due to gluten reaction. I can't remember where I saw it unfortunately.Jx To:

Does anyone knows what is:

abnormal spontaneous brainstem activations (ASBAs) at rest.

thanks

I have it written down somewhere as we had a phone consult with Dr Julu.

Do you want me to look it up? (I can quite easily)

Hi , actually my notes are not that good. It stands for abnormal

spontaneous brainstem activation and it refers to the brain not

controlling the blood pressure well (I think it was specifically blood

pressure but it might have been other areas too. can anyone else

comment? ) because the brainstem is irritated. The brainstem should be

controlling the blood pressure according to level of activity etc and

should move it slowly from one state to another. ASBAs mean it's not

moving slowly but with sudden jerks and the result is a child who

appears to over-react to everything or go from happy to 'end of the

world' immediately (this REALLy describes Tom well).

It can be caused by 3 things but only 2 in our kids: 1. (not seen in

autism) immature brain 2. allergies in the brain 3. fighting an

infection (in the brain I believe).

Hope that helps. My son's are frequent too. Our appt with Dr Goyal is

this Tues.
