Re: EEG Therapy for LORETTA

[Guest guest]

Google it as it complicated to explain. I recently learned about it and am

really excited about it. As soon as we move back to Phoenix, we're going to try

it with our son. Last week we started him on meds and he is having side

effects, so I think I'm going to just stop and ad on supplements and wait for

the EEG.

The diet I was refering to was no dairy, whey, or wheat......and no sugar,

artificial sweetners, caffiene, and additives They think some ADHD kids are

allergic to dairy and wheat.

Re: Cymbalta, high blood pressure, chest pains

Jill,

The cymbalta took my fibro pain down from a 8 to a 3 or 4, much more

reasonable. I still felt some pain though, which turned out to be

osteoarthritis in my hips.

Last night I had extreme pain in my chest so my doc asked me to go the

ER. THe ER doc had an ekg and chest x-ray done, along with blood

tests. Well basically I cannot be on the amphetamine type drugs

anymore, my heart is too sensitive to it. He mentioned that I can try

Straterra, and we also discussed the fact that my ADHD could be

stemming from sleep apnea. So I stopped taking the drug, and I will

be calling my pdoc to see about getting a sleep study referral. It

would be great to get my energy and mind back by treating my sleep

problems!!! Anyway I meet my new therapist in two weeks. I don't

know what kind of therapy she specializes in. What is EEG training?

I haven't tried the diet yet. My son was put on adderall a few years

ago for ADD, but i took him off of it because he stopped gaining

weight or growing. I've had to learn that he can't have any red food

coloring like in red punch or kool-aid. Also not that much sugar in

general. Are there any good books on the diet?

eachother. I'm sorry you have your plate so full. I thought people

with bipolar couldn't take anti-d's? Can you take meds to lower your

blood pressure so you could stay on Cymbalta? How is Cymbalta helping

you? I was on it for a few years......gained weight.......did not

help my pain at all.

I don't know if you could take it while on Cymbalta though. Have you

ever thought about EEG training for ADHD? It's supposed to be really

effective. It's not highly promoted because there is no big money to

be made from it. I'm going to try it with my son. I really don't

want him on stimulants..... it's basically meth. Have you ever tried

the diet for it? I haven't had the energy to try it yet, but I'm

thinking about it over summer vacation. I was going to have his twin

sister and me all do it since it might help fibro, asthma, and

allergies. It's so much work and so restrictive!
