Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Nystatin is not absorbed into the system either - it only travels thru the gut. Diflucan and especially Nizoral have effects on hormones too, and other things to do with the HPA axis (I forget all of them). ________________________________ From: and Marcia Hinds <hindssite@...> freemanbk@...; Sent: Thu, February 17, 2011 7:31:21 AM Subject: Re: Dr. G's book - questions  P.S.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hmm - interesting question, because my son has chronic leg pain... I haven't really contributed it to antivirals because it has really fluctuated and only been a major complaint for the last year. In our case, we did add salt substitue (potassium), and he had major improvement in the cramping and spasms we were having. ________________________________ From: S <webshopping2009@...> Sent: Thu, February 17, 2011 4:00:30 PM Subject: Re: Dr. G's book - questions  Okay so what does the book say about antivirals and leg pain?

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 My oldest son has this. He has very thin, matchstick legs and his shins often hurt. Often, it seem as if it's associated with a growth spurt. If a child experiences leg cramps in warm weather, I get some Smart Water and have them drink it, or some Gatorade. This helps with potassium levels. Bananas are good too, if you can have them.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ah... haven't tried smart water. The only Gatorade mine likes is orange, and the food coloring eventually gets to him. I only give it when someone is nauseas - fixes it instantly for one of them. He's the one that reminds me when his brother has a nausea cycle coming on. He also reminded me to switch to the potassium salt - he had stopped eating grits (southerners ha!), which is what I use it in. Then he had leg cramps again & demanded to know why I hadn't been giving him the 'other' salt anymore. (He sounded so accusing. lol) Sharp kid, though. Very self aware, except he forces denial when it's about chocolate. Bananas would be ok in winter. In spring & summer, they attract mosquito bites in my youngest. (Mosquitos don't bite my oldest son for some reason - they'll be buzzing all around us & leave him completely alone - won't even land on him. I wonder if why? Besides that he won't touch fruit... and when the soy monster was there, mean...) Funny story - I found like 7 spoons and an empty jar of peanut butter in his room last week! When I confronted him with it, my 11 yr old smart a...leck informed me that clearly he wasn't allergic to peanut butter, because he'd been eating it every day this week, and we had a great week. (And it was true - he had been a perfect angel.) So instead I made it about him stealing food & hiding it - simply because I'm too stubborn to give up a fun fight, and he's so much like me (or maybe like his grandmother) he'll go toe to toe. On the downside, he's got a smart mouth sometimes & you have to reign him in with that, but on the other side, at least at home, he's very quick with his words, unlike in a social environment with people who he doesn't know as well. But it's that ability to take me on with his words so quick that tells me the capability is there - just not the comfort level and experience. (sidetracking....I really just meant to talk about the peanut butter...) Now that soy & tenex are out of our lives, & we're going to a good psychologist that's bringing the sibling rivalry down to normal, I'm enjoying the heck out of my kids! (And I'm shocked lol. - please don't take that the wrong way - 2010 was just a rough year.) ________________________________ From: Robyn & Greg Coggins <rngcoggs@...> Sent: Thu, February 17, 2011 7:26:52 PM Subject: Re: Re: Dr. G's book - questions  My oldest son has this.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 So much of what you talk about with your kids sounds completely normal to me. They must be way beyond any autism diagnosis.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sometimes he seems absolutely perfectly normal to me. Until I see him at school, or hear some of his obsessions. He doesn't play quite typical, would rather run engines etc. But yes, very often, I see a normal kid with social delays, because he's only particularly cared about kids for not much more than 3 years. He's 11 now, still a little wierd. Marcia always says her son was still 'wierd' at this age. I feel very blessed. ________________________________ From: Jerri Gann <njgann@...> Sent: Thu, February 17, 2011 10:32:25 PM Subject: Re: Re: Dr. G's book - questions  So much of what you talk about with your kids sounds completely normal to me.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I do too! Sometimes it's hard to distinguish - I really don't have much experience with any kind of 'normal', whatever that is. Don't get me wrong, though. At home, it feels normal. In public, give people a few minutes and they'll start looking twice at Garrett when he starts talking. But Dr G and Marcia are always saying that the social comes last. I think I started a rant recently over my uncle talking to me, saying the family thought my kids were wierd but that they love them anyway... I told you about that one, right? (For this particular uncle to call them wierd is pretty uh... wierd - he's the most ADHD person I've met in my life.) ________________________________ From: Robyn & Greg Coggins <rngcoggs@...> Sent: Fri, February 18, 2011 11:05:03 AM Subject: Re: Re: Dr. G's book - questions  I love normal kid stuff, LOL! > > From: <thecolemans4@... > <mailto:thecolemans4%40>> > Subject: Re: Re: Dr. G's book - questions > <mailto:%40> > Date: Thursday, February 17, 2011, 3:13 PM > > > > Hmm - interesting question, because my son has chronic leg pain...
