Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Melatonin is natural and helps w/ sleep and is a good antioxidant. You can also give liquid childrens dye free motrin to help with inflamation. You need to find a good DAN doc to help you. What state are you in so we can recommend someone to help your child. It could be strep induced pneumonia and if so you need a good doc to treat it.

This happened to him X 3 already. The last episode was 2 wks ago. No one knows why this happens he had all the test and no one have a clue.2 wks ago he had the flu, really bad and he was sick, and this time he also stopped breathing, but before ambulance got here I was able to resume his breathing. His color O2 sat was fine as well, so they did not intubate him. After he recovered from this and Flu he was not able to sleep at all. he became restless and just pacing and whining and just acting very weird. I finally gave him Melatonin which helped him to sleep, and he did well without it after 3 days. Now he has ear infection and he had not slept for 6 days. he is unmanageable. I can't blame him since he is so sleep deprived.My question is, does anyone knows any natural remedies for sleeping issues. he does fall asleep for 10-15 minutes and that is it. I do not want to give him strong medicine that his pediatrician is recommending. Please someone help. He was always a good sleeper, now he is like manic and ADD. I do not know what to do.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 A quick google search turns up lots and lots of parent complaints about aggressive behavior, irritability, sleeplessness and rage due to Claritine. Some parents stop giving it to their kids....others wait it out and claim the kids settle back down after a couple of weeks. When I was a young girl, I would stop breathing (my pedi concluded that without even realizing I was doing it, I would hold my breath when I was uncomfortable or something was bothering me) I would simply pass out and start breathing again. Do you have to resuscitate each time this happens or does he start to breath again on his own? I also have a cousin and a nephew, both 6 years old (and unrelated to one another) who both have episodes where they'll go limp, their lips turn blue and they "pass out" - tests have shown nothing conclusive for either boy. Does that sound like your son?I hope better days are ahead for you.-TammyTo: mb12 valtrex Sent: Fri, February 4, 2011 9:58:55 PMSubject: Re: restless and sleepless son Melatonin is natural and helps w/ sleep and is a good antioxidant.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi there, Dr. Rossignol in Melbourne or Bradstreet (same office) are great!!! We got to Dr. R.. We've been to others and not only does he know his stuff but he helps educate me and he's a parent to 2 little ASD boys. He gets it in a way only a parent can. He has thought of details that other DANS! over look. ie. A suitable waiting room, or (and this was HUGE for us) when the kids get IV's he puts it into a backpack so they can move around with out the Pole. That's only 2 examples, they are endless! As far as sleep, melatonin helps get them to sleep, 5-HTP can help them sleep through the night, GABA helps, ZEN (has GABA and L-Theanine[ its an amino acid]). This works well on one of my boys but we had to go Rx with the other.

His color O2 sat was fine as well, so they did not intubate him. After he recovered from this and Flu he was not able to sleep at all. he became restless and just pacing and whining and just acting very weird. I finally gave him Melatonin which helped him to sleep, and he did well without it after 3 days. Now he has ear infection and he had not slept for 6 days. he is unmanageable. I can't blame him since he is so sleep deprived.My question is, does anyone knows any natural remedies for sleeping issues. he does fall asleep for 10-15 minutes and that is it. I do not want to give him strong medicine that his pediatrician is recommending. Please someone help. He was always a good sleeper, now he is like manic and ADD. I do not know what to do.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi there, Dr. Rossignol in Melbourne or Bradstreet (same office) are great!!! We got to Dr. R.. We've been to others and not only does he know his stuff but he helps educate me and he's a parent to 2 little ASD boys. He gets it in a way only a parent can. He has thought of details that other DANS! over look. ie. A suitable waiting room, or (and this was HUGE for us) when the kids get IV's he puts it into a backpack so they can move around with out the Pole. That's only 2 examples, they are endless! As far as sleep, melatonin helps get them to sleep, 5-HTP can help them sleep through the night, GABA helps, ZEN (has GABA and L-Theanine[ its an amino acid]). This works well on one of my boys but we had to go Rx with the other.

If you can recommend someone in central Florida I would appreciate it.Thank you Melatonin is natural and helps w/ sleep and is a good antioxidant. You can also give liquid childrens dye free motrin to help with inflamation. You need to find a good DAN doc to help you. What state are you in so we can recommend someone to help your child.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 That's crazy. i went from never hearing anything like that in my life to having two boys in my very family go through this & now yours. I googled it a long time ago when it first happened to my nephew. The only other parent accounts I found similar to my family's happened immediately after vaccinations...within moments...not hours or days later. My sister in law is quite content to let the neurologist chalk it up to "migraines". what?????? I hope you can find a doctor to help you figure that out. In the mean time, you might find great success treating his allergies through dietary intervention. -Tammy To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Sat, February 5, 2011 7:37:28 PMSubject: Re: restless and sleepless son Thank you for telling me about the Claritin. I raised my concern about both singular and claritin and the pediatrician said not to worry. Since my son have such terrible allergies i let it slide.Also, when he has the episode he goes limp his lips turns blue. The first time, I had to do full CPR compression and rescue breathing, the second time hos heart didn't stop only his breathing, this last time he stopped breathing first and his heart rate went really low but resuming his breathing helped him recover his normal heart rate. A quick google search turns up lots and lots of parent complaints about aggressive behavior, irritability, sleeplessness and rage due to Claritine. Some parents stop giving it to their kids....others wait it out and claim the kids settle back down after a couple of weeks. When I was a young girl, I would stop breathing (my pedi concluded that without even realizing I was doing it, I would hold my breath when I was uncomfortable or something was bothering me) I would simply pass out and start breathing again. Do you have to resuscitate each time this happens or does he start to breath again on his own? I also have a cousin and a nephew, both 6 years old (and unrelated to one another) who both have episodes where they'll go limp, their lips turn blue and they "pass out" - tests have shown nothing conclusive for either boy. Does that sound like your son?I hope better days are ahead for you.-Tammy To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Fri, February 4, 2011 9:58:55 PMSubject: Re: restless and sleepless son Melatonin is natural and helps w/ sleep and is a good antioxidant.
