Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 You are in home stretch...hang in there! My daughter was that way, too until just after 3 weeks. If you think this is lasting too long, you can call the doctor. - --- fredacurl <fredacurl@...> wrote: > I took my son (8) for his first visit to Dr. G's > office. He prescribed > him Valtrex.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Die off sucks but it should get better, especially when he adds the antifungal.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi Cher, I was just going to ask, when does the antifungal come in? My son(9) is still going thru a rough time also and it's been 21 days since we've been on Famvir and antibiotic. His sound sensitivity seems to be worse than ever. He can't have a meal with the family right now. Every noise seems to bother him. Dark circles under the eye is worse one day, better one day. He wakes up very early. He's just totally unhappy right now. Dr. G. says it should all get better in about a wk to 10days & we hope so. He had mentioned Nizoral but not sure when he plans to start it???? But I'm also wondering if this is all dieoff, how long does it last??? thank you God bless > >> I took my son (8) for his first visit to Dr. G's office. He >> prescribed >> him Valtrex.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 He usually adds the antifungal at the next appointment. He likes to start the antifungal and the antiviral 30 days apart. Unless things have changed since we stopped seeing him but I doubt it. Believe me, it will help! You'll be wanting to kiss Dr. G after the die off from the antifungal is over and he settles down!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks Cher. I pray so!!! I just brought my son back from a doctor's office to do an x-ray that Dr. G. recomended. It was impossible!! He screamed his lungs out! It's been a nightmare taking him out of the house lately! It feels like it will never end. You'll be hearing from me within a minute of his calmness or whatever good change we may see out of this! Thanks again. >> >>> I took my son (8) for his first visit to Dr. G's office.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi, . Die off can be very rough, and a child's reaction to it as unique as the child himself. Keep in mind there will also be a die off period when you use the antifungal. Joab sounds as if he's in pain. Have you tried Advil? It can ease the symptoms and make him more comfortable. Noah experiences chronic headaches during viral die off and they can make him crazy. It does get better. Actually, this may be good thing because it shows the Valtrex is working. We'll keep your family in our prayers. All the best, Robyn > >> > >>> I took my son (8) for his first visit to Dr. > G's office. He > >>> prescribed > >>> him Valtrex.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 My son has not expressed that he side effects that cause him any pain. His is in his behavior and his academics are suffering because he can not stay focused. What really bothers me the most is his coloring. His face is so pale and dark circles under his eyes. He started taking Nizoral with the Valtrex and he seems better than before. He had a little better day today. > > >> > > >>> I took my son (8) for his first visit to Dr. > > G's office.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thank you Robyn. We do give him motrin & it seems to help some but not with the sound issues, so he would still scream around meal time or when his syblings are playing loud. I couldn't find advil w/o a cherry flavor or some other flavor that's not allowable on the diet. I'll keep looking. It'll probably be better for him if it really helps with inflammation. I appreciate your support & prayer. God bless you and your family. > >> > >>> I took my son (8) for his first visit to Dr. > G's office. He > >>> prescribed > >>> him Valtrex.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 There is advil or motrin that is dye free...usually at drug stores. It should help take the edge off for your son. But I have heard not to use tylenol, I don't know if you heard that too. Take care! You will be happy you are doing this! This is a good sign that you are taking care of exactly what your boy needs! - PS. Usually you have a die-off with antifungal, too... --- Bekele <bekeleelizabeth@...> wrote: > Thank you Robyn.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have heard that Tylenol is not good for our kiddos. Something about interfering with mylenation.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 It depletes glutathione. But just to be clear, I don't think Dr. G believes this or is concerned with it if he does believe it as he is okay with it. Personally, I don't use it but I don't think Dr. G has a problem with it.
