clamminess as a side effect?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

My 6 yo son has been on Dr. G's protocol for almost 3 years and he appears to

have developed a side effect(?). He appears very " clammy " a good portion of the

day and even more so the more humid it is outside (more so than other children).

We moved last month from California to Virginia and while the humidity is much

greater here, he still appears clammier than his 7 yo sister. At first, I

stupidly thought it was from the increase in humidity but he appears more humid

even when he is in A/C all day long.

Has anyone experienced this as a side effect? Dr. G's office seems to think it

is no big deal.

Any comments welcomed!

Thank you,

Burns

Our son is clammy as well but the clamminess stopped when he was on one of

the antifungals... can¹t remember if it was Nizoral or Diflucan (I *think*

Nizoral). I remember Dr. Goldberg saying that Nizoral has an effect on the

adrenal-cortical axis. You didn¹t just switch antifungals did you?

Hi,

What Caroline said is what my first thought was as well.  Sometimes kids will be

clammy just because a couple of different 'axis's' can be dysregulated - the

adrenal-cortical axis, the HPA axis, etc.  I will get clammy at the same time

that I start having dysautonomia symptoms (getting dizzy when standing, etc),

but I don't usually know what triggers it, and it happens whether I am on or off

meds.

It's not typically an actual illness, though it may be a discomfort.  Whether it

is worth a med-change or not is up to you depending on how uncomfortable it is.

HTH-

Thanks for the input! We have not changed meds in months (anything) and Dr. G's

office did not think the symptom was anything to be concerned about. I'll keep

monitoring it.

Much thanks again!
