Re: Biting, pinching and scratching ... Desperate

[Guest guest]

Hello-I will look thru my resources regarding the aggression....but DO NOT tell that school RN what he is on. It is flat out none of her business! You can tell her to "watch out" for the symptoms he is having and to notify you of any changes or worsening; but I really think all you need to tell her is that he is under the care of a physician.If they start getting ahold of his personal health info........there's no telling what they will do. They will ask questions that you won't want to answer. In my experience, if it is even their opinion that what your doing is "questionable" or not "standard practice", it is their "duty" to inform authorities.I am an RN myself, and I have worked briefly in a school setting. She doesn't need to know ANYTHING about what you're doing!in MISent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerrySender: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:36:21 +0530 (IST)To: <Invalid address>ReplyTo: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Subject: Biting, pinching and scratching ... Desperate Hi,My 4 yr son is on NIDS protocol with valtrex, nizorol, paxil and tenex.Last week, he was ocassionally pinching us. Now for the 3-4 days he has been constantlypinching, scratching and wanting to bite if we say "no" to him. He was a very happy kid. His teachers at school also said the same . 1. Not sure why he is doing it? Guys can u pls throw some light. Feeling very bad for him.Don't know what he is going threw.2.His nurse at school wanted we give the medications he is taking. Is it ok to give it to her?She wants it for her records and watch out for him. Will there be any issues if she sees antiviral and antifungals? I was thinkshe might say he is infectious and stuff. Please let me know what you think guys .

Only my opinion, but some of the lyme symptoms published include agitation and

raging, so this could be simply a reaction to lyme flaring or lyme bugs being

stirred up. We see this is our older son and it is worse now that he has started

IV abx (hopefully a good sign that the bugs are getting kicked hard). So, that

would be my guess. But, it could be from one of the other meds or from a combo

of meds.

This from Drugs.com on Paxil side effects:

....new or worsening mental or mood changes (eg, agitation, panic attacks,

aggressiveness, impulsiveness, irritability, hostility...

You could contact your doc and ask if he is concerned about these symptoms since

Drugs.com says a doc should be consulted for these type symptoms. That would

rule it in or out. L

I agree about not telling the nurse. I work in a doctors office and every so

often I get requests from school asking for info. The parents of course have to

ok us giving info but I discourage it.

Since my kids no longer take meds at school, I don't tell them anything. But,

if they were on a prescription that would have a bad reaction to something the

school might give, then I might tell. At my school, there is a lot of gossip

and misunderstanding and they call social services for tiny little things, like

being 10 minutes late to pick up your child. So, it's best to keep things

private nowadays. There was a time in my childhood when parents were respected.

That is not the current times. There is just too many judgmental, gossiping,

and odd strong beliefs to be trustworthy. I have docs put everything in writing

to tell the school when needed, and give them only ability to talk about the

specific topic when they feel the need to verify the doc's letter is not a

forgery, which they seem to feel the need to do alot. Like I said, there are

lots of not nice people out there who like to make good things seem like bad

things, so limit information to what is needed. There are many laws concerning

the right to private health information, so don't let anyone make you feel that

you have to say anything because you don't, not to anyone at anytime unless

court ordered. But, of course, use your judgement to say what is necessary for

your child's welfare.

Love and prayers,

My kid will do that when his sinuses are starting to be a mess. He's got everything else going on, is very happy camper, but the sinus issue is a tipper and it tends to flare with the weather and mold....so it can rain rain rain but when the wind kicks stuff up it can really cause him discomfort. Dry air in the frigid cold can also do it.
