Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 many yrs ago my son was on valtrex. this was when he was younger, like right after being diag. anyway, took three separate tries before his body "accepted" valtrex. he was like a monster, practically foaming at the mouth and everything. i know what you are going thru. i had to keep him out of school for a few days etc. i stopped because the reaction was so horrible. i waited a few months and tried second time. same thing. third time, it took. initially, i did see gains on valtrex. but, not much after several months. i continued to give valtrex even though i stopped seeing gains. eventually, i stopped. only you know how much you can handle with this. i know what you are going thu. there are so many biomedical interventions out there, sometimes hard to separate thru all the reading. if your child's lab work show high for viruses, valtrex may help here. but again, i had to stop, wait a few months and try again. it was that bad! good luck and hope all works out. vicki Don't know how much more I can take...... I wrote a few days ago how awful this regression has been from the valtrex and diflucan....and someone suggested to go back and read Stan's paper which I did. It's been about 5 weeks and seriously I don't know how much longer I can watch him hit his head and bite and scratch himself/others. I am afraid he is going to hurt his sister. I can tell something is coming out of him right now because he is very raspy and sounds like his throat hurts. How bad do you let it get before you call it quits.....it is really affecting everyone in our home..... -- Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 We did 80 days of valtrex w/ my 13 yr old son last winter. The first 3 weeks were fine and then he broke out in rashes all over and his behavior became dangerous to himself and others. I do feel he responded cause of the rasheds but we could not safely continue. WHat I did not realize at the time was that he has PANDAS and was most likely exposed to strep around that time. The PANDAS caused the wild behavior and not the valtrex. You may have something else going on.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Good gosh. We went thru that behavior but the diet change and bio meds from our ND helped. He focused on the adrenal gland, leaky gut and hormone levels. Never even heard of Valtrex and children. Valtrex has some bad side effects. Prayers for you!

It's been about 5 weeks and seriously I don't know how much longer I can watch him hit his head and bite and scratch himself/others. I am afraid he is going to hurt his sister. I can tell something is coming out of him right now because he is very raspy and sounds like his throat hurts. How bad do you let it get before you call it quits.....it is really affecting everyone in our home..... > -- > Kasey > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 are you doing anything now to treat the PANDAS? From: kldett@...

No matter how much sedation we tried it always backfired. So - we had to stop and it broke my heart because I felt like it was helping him. So then we did the respen A which he is still on - and it did a really nice job of putting him more on an even keel....but not really helping much else. So I wanted to try the antiviral.....I just don't know what to do, because you're right....he could have been exposed to something else and this would happen. He has these bouts when he is sick....that's part of the issue.....it is just so stressful and taxing....and my husband has an especially difficult time with it....just don't know what to do anymore.....we have done almost every therapy out there.....--Kasey Dettinger---- Fund wrote: > We did 80 days of valtrex w/ my 13 yr old son last winter. The first 3 weeks were fine and then he broke out in rashes all over and his behavior became dangerous to himself and others. I do feel he responded cause of the rasheds but we could not safely continue. WHat I did not realize at the time was that he has PANDAS and was most likely exposed to strep around that time. The PANDAS caused the wild behavior and not the valtrex. You may have something else going on.> > > > > > > > Subject: Don't know how much more I can take......> To: mb12 valtrex > Date: Saturday, January 29, 2011, 10:19 AM> > > > > > > I wrote a few days ago how awful this regression has been from the valtrex and diflucan....and someone suggested to go back and read Stan's paper which I did.
