Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I start counting from the day die off symptoms start. My husband had amazing die off with Acyclovir that lasted for about three weeks. Headache, fatigue, some nausea....much like the flu. The most pervasive symptom is the headache. My 11 year old son had the same. HTH, Robyn ________________________________ From: chocolatiluv <chocolatiluv@...> Sent: Tue, April 27, 2010 8:21:23 PM Subject: Die Off A question to anyone that has experienced die off while on acyclovir? Would love to know how this feelsgoing through this? All symptoms ect. Also how long did this last for your children? Dr. G said this could last 2- 3 wks. For us first 3 days good. Today all day happy one minute then a melt down then crying. He is really having a difficult time. Do we count day starting the antiviral or when initial die off started?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I don't recall " coughing " as a die off symptom. I usually attribute that to colds or allergies. They are really bad right now. My middle son, Noah, has in home therapy and speech and OT in school. My other two--Asperger's and ADHD--don't require specific therapies, although I do have my oldest on a 504 plan. That is mostly interventions by the teacher to keep him on task and organized.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 He's still on it and so are my oldest son and myself. They both experienced significant die off, but not as much for me. I don't have labs back yet to check their viral count though. All the best, Robyn ________________________________ From: " erikadyan71@...
