Guest guest Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 , It all went away as we fixed the immune system. But it took years. It is so hard to be patient when your kid is hurting. I remember the bells at school were awful for . I told him to cover his ears when they went off. I was trying to give him some control over a horrible situation. Over time it all disappeared. I just came back from packing up my son. One of his roommates was undiagnosed but definitely on the spectrum. He is going on to get a doctorate at Purdue. He was " weird " but I loved him. What a character who is going to definitely make it. We all don't fit in the same way. There is hope for all of them. Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thank you Marcia. you are an inspiration to moms like me who are starting out on this road and please let know he is an inspiration to kids like my son who's 6.  I look forward to seeing him heal and especially for the noise sensitivty to go away. Makes me sad to see him curl up and literally start shaking when the noises start to overwhelm him.  My dream is to see go off to college one day too.  Lately he's showing a huge interest in art and has been drawing up a storm since he's been on Valtrex. It's like a switch went on. The other night he drew this detailed scene of Captain Hook and Pan in a swordfight with Tinker Bell flying about.. squibbles yes, but they were masterpieces in my book : ) So at least I know there's a bright, creative little kid in there that needs to be brought out.  I definitely feel there is hope for our kids.   From: and Marcia Hinds <hindssite@...> Subject: Re:Herpes infection, hyperacusis, brain inflammation - Marcia sailcharters@..., Date: Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 10:33 AM  , It all went away as we fixed the immune system.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Marcia! Wow is going for his doctorate! You be proud, this is your accomplishment too. My daughter had hyperacusis,too. Once we did , we no longer have that problem. When you get your child healthy their sensory issues disappear. My daughter's sensory issues are totally gone. This year at her IEP they were trying to figure out if she needed " sensory room time " for a sensory diet and they all unianimously agreed it was totally unnecessary. That felt so good. And Marcia, when I first started walking this journey, I read your posts and they gave me so much hope. I am on the other side and its a dream cometrue!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hi ,  Glad to hear you daughters sensory issues have diminished since starting . We just started the protocol.. did your daughters test show a herpes infection or other viral issues?.Also did the doctor put her on an SSRI? My understanding is that SSRI can improve temporal lobe blood flow? if so did it help?   PS. the sensory issues are a bummer.. my son couldn't participate in his Kindergarten graduation today due to the noises (clapping, talking, music) in the auditorium.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Jen, It is not going for his doctorate but rather his roommate who is undiagnosed but I think is on the spectrum. He is a wonderful kid who I adore. Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 , My daughter had high HHV-6 titers. Her bloodwork revealed immune dysfunction but her biggest issue by far was and is her allergies. We did do the SSRI temporarily and she went nuts! Most kids are not this way but for us this was because there was still too much inflammation from her allergies going on so we had to go another route for awhile and stop the SSRI. However not all children are this way. But we had the right people leading us the right way. You have to do whatever it takes to cool down inflammation.
