Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Krista: My son is 34 mos old and we saw the same awfulness the first 4 days. I just posted a day or so ago about our experience and below is a copy of what I wrote/observed regarding the first week. It has gotten better, but he still seems to have " off " days attitude-wise. However, more and more he seems more even-keeled (sp?). He used to wake up from naps crying every single day and that's not happening any more. Once your son is feeling better, I'd give it a full 1-2 weeks to see improvements. It just took some time to adjust to the dosages and whatever it is doing in his system. ----------------------COPY OF MY PORTION OF MY PREVIOUS EMAIL------- Dosage for is 1 scoop (8-9 level teaspoons). The first 4 days he took 3-4 tsp/day. During that time, he was nothing short of AWFUL. He was whiney, crying and just plain defiant no matter what the situation. Anything would set him off and we saw no improvements whatsoever. If anything we thought his speech sounded a tad worse. Then came day 5... woke up in the BEST mood and had the sweetest temperament all day - no roller coaster fluctuations. Was he still a 2 yr old little boy who can be snotty and doesn't always pay attention, certainly, but it was different. The only way to describe it is that there was a level of resistance that was gone. is an easy going kid, but more and more lately we've been met with resistance to any and everything. It finally seemed as if he was...dare I say it...a normal 2 yr old? Day 6 - same thing. Again, there was a different kind of peace/calmness in him. My husband was upstairs w/ looking down at me and said " isn't mommy pretty, ? " and said " Mommy, you are pretty. " And...he used the T!!!! He's never been able to say that letter before. Also, we noticed he was singing all day, humming, and chatting more than normal. Finally, we started having hope that maybe it was the NV? I increased his dosage to a full scoop and he went downhill again for another 3-4 days before he leveled out again. We believe his body was purging/detoxing something. > > I'm sorry in advance if this has already been asked and answered but I do not have as much time to look at this as I would like. I put my son 22 months dx with CAS on NV for 4 days and they were the most miserable days. He has had a cold but it seems that the NV made him grouchy and mean. I thought I saw someone say that they went through this but it got better. Is this true? Should I have stuck it out? I took him off to let him get over his cold which he still has not and that way I could better assess if it was truly the NV. Plus my son is doing so well with therapy that I'm not sure if we would know that the NV is helping.I saw someone asking how we can measure the progress and I would like to know the same thing. How do we know that therapy is not helping just as much? I spend $800 a month on therapy so I'm hoping that is helping him improve daily as well (if that makes sense). Thanks in advance.Krista > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
