Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Light sensitivity in children is a sign of Lyme Disease - has he been tested? My son keeps switching the lights off in the evenings. It looks like the light bothers him and he would switch it off. It takes a while for him to be OK with the lights on in the room. This is a recent behavior and he was never like this. A couple of weeks ago he had viral infection and got sick and since then I see this behavior. And he has been very clingy too. Any correlation? -Angay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 My son had light sensitivity for awhile, it's not as bad anymore I still can't figure out why it was that bad, now it's not? I watched this video of Dr. Kartzinel on the show, The Dr's and he explains about light and sound sensitivity in autistic children. http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Ease-Light-and-Noise-Sensitivity-for-Autistic-Kids-114223957 To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Fri, March 12, 2010 3:35:53 PMSubject: light sensitivity My son keeps switching the lights off in the evenings.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yes, light sensitivity is correlated with infections, such as Lyme. I think it may be from certain toxins the pathogens create, like ammonia.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yes, my son does this preferring lower lights when he has lyme flares and or viruses. He and I are both having lyme issues this past month or two and I've had to go back to wearing my glasses. For me there is light sensitivity and change in eye pressure that makes a mild astigmatism. My eye doctor says he sees it in people w viruses but finds it interesting that we can pin it down. > > Yes, light sensitivity is correlated with infections, such as Lyme.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Wow! Thanks for all those who replied. I thought yeast might be an issue - but with a clean diet and natural antifungals lately, it seems like yeast is for the most part under control - no more giggling and other yeasty behaviors. He suddenly started doing this recently after the viral stomach issues (he just threw up one whole night and had a fever the following morning and then recovered in a day). I never have tested him for Lyme, it is one more thing I need to do. I will also look into viral connection. Thanks for the insight. - Angay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
