Re: new here, valtrex & blood tests?

Hey -

Oh yes, that is perfectly fine to have a month - it's actually pretty aggressive

to check so frequently.  And even if liver profiles rise, depending on the

severity (I think only 2 kids in many years have had to eventually be pulled off

of an antifungal due to liver elevations which resolved with no problems),

usually it can be monitored for some time before a decision is made to change. 

In my experience with myself and both of my boys, our liver levels were mildly

elevated before the meds, and went down after starting the meds.  It actually

really helped their bodies.

The antivirals are quite safe.  And the benefit to their body can be

extraordinary.  I hope you will find a comfortable place soon where you see

these as extraordinary health-giving meds that are a blessing to be able to

receive.  When you see your child's eyes begin to brighten (this takes time) and

their energy perk up (and settle down if they're extremely hyper) and lots of

other wonderful developments, the difference can be amazing.  They just LOOK

healthier.  I personally am biding my time to get my youngest (just turned 7)

back on antivirals because he has not been feeling well - having problems with

chronic fatigue.

Worry not.  Your child is in good hands!

HTH-

new here, valtrex & blood tests?

Hi,

We just met Dr. Goldberg yesterday. My son is 6 and was dx w/ autism at age 2.

We

received a RX for Valtrex. Im feeling some fears though. Our next appt is in one

month. Is

that soon enough to test for liver and kidney function after starting Valtrex?

Thanks,

mom to Jasen

Do not fear Valtrex. It is a very benign drug and Dr. G is very

careful that all the drugs used in these children have no damaging or

harmful effectson their growing brains and bodies.

I say this confidently because one of my children was being treated

for Tourette like symptoms when I met Dr. Goldberg 3 years ago. He

did not want to refill the drug that the doctor in Dallas had

prescribed because of the potential side effects of heart related

problems.

Trust the process and you will see the miracle happen...I promise!

I have two sons on the protcol, and Dr. G carefully monitors bloodwork. Much to

my older son's dismay, there are blood test every other month.

Good luck.
