Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Hi Listmates - I took Chase (4.1 ASD)to see a developmental pediatrician yesterday. She was on the DAN list, and attended the conference, but she is NOT a DAN doctor and said they must have automatically put her name on the list. Anyway, she was very interesting to talk to. She is supportive of the diet and agreed about a problem with the proteins, especially casein. She was not supportive of the testing, basically saying they are out to get our money. Some supplements she felt could be helpful, but not to the extent that we are all doing them. Well, so we don't agree on that, but asked what she could do to help Chase. She said he should have an MRI done to check for a cyst or brain imflammation, she was concerned that Chase went cross-eyed over night just after he turned 2 years old. I have always been concerned about the suddeness but no other doctor took it seriously. (He has worn glasses ever since). I was glad that she took note of that and wanted to investigate that further. From her evaluation, she believes that his main problem is filtering and suggested at some point (after more eval and MRI etc) that we consider trying a drug called Tenex or Clonidine which is typically used for hypertension, high blood pressure and recently for ADHD. Have any of you gone this route before? Thanks for any input you have on these drugs or on the MRI experience. Llynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
