Re: My son, getting worse.

Amber, he might have a serious sinus infection. Kids do this banging

their heads on the wall thing when they are in intense pain. You can

have a bacterial infection without a fever...I would take him to his

doctor.

Peace,

Dear Amber,

Obviously this child is sick and he has been so for a while. Does he have a

fever? Dry lips can be a sign of dehydration and if he refuses to eat drink,

it can be tonsillitis. He needs to be checked for viral and bacterial

infection. Amber since he has steadily gotten worse with all the

recommendation and suggestion from us in the group, I do recommend that you

take him to a competent doctor. Also, I don't recommend this on regular basis

but perhaps give him one dose of Motrin and see if he becomes happier and if

so, you'd know that he is in pain.

I remember in one of your earlier posts that you had said he was a happy child

in his own world. Obviously he is getting sicker and all the suggestions you

have been following here isn't actively helping him. Ask his DAN about anti

viral treatment. I know that Dr. McCandles is using Valtrex (prescription

drug) when the viral issues are bad and in 's case, he is getting worse

and not better. That was the case for Keyon last summer. My normally happy

child was miserable and we couldn't help him. Fortunately for us GFCF was a

big step forward.

My heart goes to you and him both.

How is his BM, His sleep and his tummy?

Did you ever do anything about Impactation?

Was that at all an issue?

When is the GI doctor's appointment?

Love, Haleh

Hi Amber,

I'm so sorry to hear of your little one's troubles.

Can I ask why you removed the OLE?

I posted a message here requesting information on virals about a

month ago (msg 89085, dated Feb 13th).

One of the questions I asked was How do you know if your child has

virus issues? I received the following reply from Dana:

'I gave my kids OLE a few winters ago, to prevent colds and flu. When

I tried to remove it, they severely regressed. This is how I knew

they were virus kids.

You can request a viral panel, I know Dr. McCandless recommends

Immunosciences Lab.'

Amber, what you are describing certainly sounds like a regression to

me, could it be that he has viral issues and perhaps needs the OLE???

Regards,

This sounds like he has virus issues which the OLE was addressing.

>>His OCD has never been worse.

This was viral for my son.

> I don't know if it's because I took out the OLE or not-

I would suspect this.

Dana, would you recommend putting the OLE back in?

Amber.

It sounds like it would be a good idea. Or try Virastop instead.
