Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Cheryl, what gains specifically did you see? Yesterday in church Noah started to spontaneously sing the responsorial psalm. He's never done that before. Regarding the issue of whether Dr. G is OK with generics, I can only say that I checked the last scrip he wrote. There's a box to check if generics are NOT Ok and he didn't check the box.

We have BCBS (scripts through Medco) and our co-pay is $25, but the receipt says retail is $620. I know that a few months ago, insurance required Dr. G to verify the script and basically state that we would be needing it for the next 12 months in order for them to continue to cover it (they've never done that before). So maybe there is some way to find out if there's a work-around of sorts to get the script written differently in order for it to be covered? Just a thought. We also used Famvir years ago. I don't really remember why the change, but my son's titers have remained low and steady for quite some time on the Valtrex. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I'm the mom of a 16 1/2 year old son > > > who > > > > > has > > > > > > > > > > struggled from what has > > > > > > > > > > been labeled severe autism his entire > > > > > life, > > > > > > > only > > > > > > > > > the > > > > > > > > > > more and more > > > > > > > > > > research I do leads me to believe his > > > > > > > behaviors > > > > > > > > > are > > > > > > > > > > a result of the > > > > > > > > > > multitude of food allergies and > > > internal > > > > > > > medical > > > > > > > > > > issues.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Oh, man, I couldn't begin to explain them all as it was literally, *everything*. He started using language without prompting and spontaneously, he was more aware of everything, he became less foggy, his eyes were brighter and more alert, he started being able to understand and learn, etc. cheryl On Mar 17, 2008, at 12:22 PM, Robyn & Greg Coggins wrote: > Cheryl, what gains specifically did you see?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I agree. The best discription i can use is I often would nick name him Goober =Just a reference to the PB & J he liked. Now I call him Bright eyes - it makes him smile. That is what he has become. --- Cheryl Lowrance <c.lowrance@...> wrote: > Oh, man, I couldn't begin to explain them all as it > was literally, > *everything*.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks, Cheryl. We're seeing some positives already and we hope they continue. Our Aspie son, , will start with Dr. G soon. Dr. G believes he is more classic , so the protocol should help him as well.
