Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hello, I am going to post an update to our healing regression shortly, however, what you are going through is not uncommon at all. Our son regregressed tremendously with just one virastop a day (divided 2x). It is amazing to see how different our kids really are. My son cant even handle one virastop a day and had immediate regression (within hours of the first dose), while other kids need many more capsules to reach that point. Please be careful and go slowly. Again, I am going to post more later, but adding vitamin C and other immune boosters will help.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 My son has been doing very well, and responding well to fish oils and diet. Recently, though, we've been experiencing some (what looks like) regressions. We've had constipation along with it. I've addressed the constipation by paying closer attention to diet and vitamin c.....POM juice.....acidopholius. I'm thinking that the bowel issues are linked to the regressions that I see. My son is still doing ok, but there's certainly more searching and difficulty speaking. He's also not putting as many words together. I'm getting scared. I'd added cod liver oil to the fish oil regime a few weeks ago, and I've not added vitamin e, yet. Could the additional fish oil be doing this. Initially, I saw a surge in his verbal skills. He's also calmed down ALOT. He's definitely more focused, playing independently, etc..... Does anyone have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well, yesterday and this morning my son has had diarrhea.....I guess from all the vit c and POM juice. The regressions in speech were definitely noticable, yesterday. It seems that each time he gets sick with anything 9cold, etc) t here are these articulatory regressions of sort. Has anyone else experienced these things? How does one deal with these issues? @...: hanagan_8@...: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:39:50 -0800Subject: [ ] Regressions My son has been doing very well, and responding well to fish oils and diet.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi , Yes, I think that this is the way with dyspraxia... Surges and regressions define my life. Is it a good speech day or a bad speech day? Mark usually asks the question in the morning on our way to school. We do our exercises on the bad days but really, they don't help much. Usually on the bad days, he needs a lot of water to drink (keeps the excess saliva at bay) and I remove all gluten products along with his usual dairy removal. As a matter of 'his' viewpoint, Mark says that a lot of the time when his speech gets really 'slushy' sounding, it means that he is thirsty. Quite often, water will help his speech. But for the real regressions, I try to keep it simple.... he eats nuts, fruits, meat, veggies with no carbohydrates.... for a couple of days and usually the regression will cease. I find that keeping the diet as 'clean' as possible seems to reduce the bad days. Because our children tend to have compromised immune systems, when they are ill, it is reflected in their abilities. It is a constant complaint of mine. I may get a cold and feel dragged down but Mark gets a cold and loses physical milestones! This has been happening less and less since we got him on the right supplements for his body. I would bet that your boy is low in COQ10 or some other immune vitamin. This has really improved since we started doing L-Carnitine, COQ10 and Taurine along with the oils. I don't like the idea that you were feeling scared. This means that he is regressing way too much beyond simple articulation issues. Perhaps slow down on what you add and simplify. Remember when you begin to start supplements, only add one at a time. " Go Low and Slow " is the supplement motto. Over time ramp up dosages as your child develops a tolerance. If you have a negative reaction, then reduce the dosage, try a different brand name (look for the ingredience in your brands as some kids are really sensitive to things like soy fillers) or just drop the supplement and look to another source for the nutrient. I try not to add more than one new supplement a week so that I can really see how my son is tolerating the new vitamin. How is your boy this morning? Try cutting back the vitamin C and Pom juice to maintenance levels and see if his bowels normalize. Just some ideas for you....
