Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Is your daughter taking any medications? Our daughter (PDD-NOS, 8 in April) had an abnormal EEG. I suspected seizures (absence ones-zoning out), but the pediatrician and psychiatrist didn't see it. Lo and behold she was having them, we had just tried a new medication, so we stopped it, and started her on Carnosine - supplement that her pediatrician and DAN doctor both thought was worth trying. It has helped tremendously! No more seizure activity (normal EEG) and increase in socialization AND language. _____________________________________________________________ Click to see huge collection of designer watches. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2221/fc/Ioyw6i4tYRHjFM0wwXaKVD7HzPZerUpx8\ Kbe0rZAO4wN29Ufg3vZct/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 , My daughter was just put on seizure medication but I believe it is to strong so I have taken her off the medication. I am calling the doctors office tomorrow. She is aslo going to have the 48 hour EEG done next monday and I am praying that she will be ok with it. I really believe that she is having seizures because some of her rages lately are not like they use to be, and after she comes down from the rage her pupils go from small to big and then she is so hot and then she goes limp. The one neuroglist we seen really believes that she is have them and that when she goes into a rage a seizure comes on. Dawn > > Is your daughter taking any medications?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Was it carnosine or carnitine? I thought the former was contraindicated in seizures, but carnitine helps loads for some people. Kassiane, with her rather massive carnitine dosage --- " dlwyrick@...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hello, I am new to the group. My daughter who will be 8 soon was diagnosed a year and a half ago with OCD. Looking back can see it as far back as 2yrs old. Now that I am beginning to understand what OCD is, so many things make sense. . I found a good book on parenting my child with OCD. Still searching for a good match in a therapist for her. She has seen a child play therapist for her OCD off and on for about 18mo. However, she will not follow his direction. Thus, I end up doing most of his job. So, looking for someone she will listen to and follow through as best she can on. We had a huge breakthrough this week. She finally was able to say she has OCD, I read her some stories last week about what OCD is and tried explaining it on her level for sometime. It was so heartbreaking to me that she refused to even listen to me about it. Now that she has realized it we can start talking more about CBT skills and learning how to deal with her OCD needs. I know tomorrow she may go back to " not believing she has it " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
