Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I have to Thank all here who got me through with words of wisdom and support during my melt down a few weeks back. Im doing much better now, that i got that all off my chest. Matts doing a bit better, and regaining some strenght. We are taking him off of Adderal XR, (thank you Suhad for that info about Adderal) Matts doc agrees that is more than likely what is causing his tactacardia, we are going to try Strattera and if that doesnt work we will try ritelin, and we are starting the new med at low dose and will work our way up if nessacary. Matt will finally have some restictions for gym class now too thanks to our neurology and metobolic team. And i know the school not just our family will be greatful for that. We did take Matt for his mtdna blood test and should have the results by the middle of April from Athena Lab. On another good note the Dr. Marks Matts metobolic specialist at ST s hosp in Phila Pa is working on getting the Barnett Center for Mitochondrial studies and research,(including fresh muscle biopsy and mtdna blood test) back open and asked me if i would be interested in helping..the only thing holding them back from opening is money, fundraising, and i told him count me in, even though ive been perty tired myself, i think and my husband agrees that if i do something towards helping it would help me instead of me feeling so fustrated and helpless, at least i would be doing something that might actually help. I guess in the long run alot of my fustration and fears are because i feel so helpless this disease is a ticking time bomb, and im sick of holding my breath with worry. Thanks again to all of you here!! HUGS, Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
