Anxiety issues

January 9, 2007

We use Buspar for anxiety for my son. This helped a lot. He is 15 years

old and started when he was 13.

We also are on the Geier protocol with Lupron which lowers testosterone and

this has really reduced anxiety. For him anxiety increase was due to high

testosterone levels.

Good luck,

My daughter's anxiety issues are becoming more of a problem lately.

When I take her to her gymnastics class she wants me to carry her in

(She is 5 and weighs 51 lbs) and refuses to look at any parents. She

will hide her face and often times she lays prone on the floor. Once

class starts she is fine. It's almost like she feels that everyone is

looking at her.. She does this to at my son's school when we are

waiting for the school to release him.

I've tried GABA but it didn't seem to do anything. ANyone have any

suggestions.

Thanks,

Bethany

What else are you doing for her?

My son was terribly shy and had aweful anxiety in relation to going

anywhere and being around anyone before biomed. After we started a

Kirkman vite, treated yeast, and added EFA's it eased up somewhat.

As we have chelated it has gotten to where he is totally not shy at

all. He will talk to anyone, this is far different from that 3 yr

old that clung in fear to my arms last year if anyone tried to look

at him.

Have you asked her about it? Perhaps she is becoming more aware of herself

and/or noticing differences between herself and others. You can talk about all

kinds of different differences and that they make life interesting, that it

would be boring if everyone was alike.

Ours did this, mercury causes shyness, only chelation was helpful in ending this

as she hid behind us even when adults she had known from birth tried to talk

with her.

Transient shyness is sometimes age appropriate development in a 3.5-4 year old,

but by 5 they should be curious about others and excited to interact with them.

My daughter's anxiety issues are becoming more of a problem lately.

When I take her to her gymnastics class she wants me to carry her in

Consider researching Relationship Development Intervention --

www.rdiconnect.com <http://www.rdiconnect.com>

You can chat live with Dr Sheely tonight at 9 eastern time and ask her

about anxiety, autism, and RDI tm. Dr Sheely's chat is for beginners.

or join one of the --RDI Mid Atlantic is one example-- to

learn more.

Hope this helps,

This is how my daugter acts too... Even with her grandparents she

will act that way for the first 5-10 minutes or so when we first go

over there. It has always been this way even when she was a baby.

She is on a number of the usual supplements including one for

yeast,CLO, mB12 injections to name a few.. and we are starting

chelation soon!

She is so much more aware of her differences now and I think that

bothers her. When she was having a small tantrum at her brother's

school program she told me that she wanted to be all better. She

wants so much to be like all the other kids. She also apologized the

other day when I was putting her supplements in a pill organizer.

She said: I sorry I take all these pills, Mommy! She is way behind

in her language and for her to say this just about made me cry..

I only hope this goes away with chelation like it did for you..... I

tried talking to her about it but I don't think it helped. I don't

know if she understood me. The class she goes to is all NT kids...

She does so well though and she loves it!! It just hurts me when I

know she is so anxious and stressed out!

Chelation and probably antivirals have made this go away from my son.

You might try some adrenal support.

A year and a half ago, n had to recite a poem in front of his

first grade class. It was pitiful to see, he was so miserable and you

couldn't hear anything he said, just a slight whisper and a look of

agony on his face. At the time it was a great leap forward because at

least he agreed to try it. A year later, in second grade, he had to

make a presentation to his class, and he was engaging, smiled, talked

in a conversational tone -- amazing! I asked him about it afterwards

and he told me he had been really nervous but just pretended not to be.

Anyway, IME the anxiety does go away, but there isn't a quick fix.

Wow this brings back memories of my #3.

Now, he goes up to everyone he meets [even at line in Disneyland] and

says " hi, how are you doing? " . For him, this started happening near

the end of anti-virals and high dose vitamin C protocol.

Hi... My daughter just turned 3 and I find that she is really having what SEEMS to be anxiety issues. We live in a duplex (we have the left and they have the right side of this big " house " ) and when my daughter hears them walking around she gets really scared to the point that she wants me to pick her up. She talks about " next door " and other things that I've been saying to her for a long time but she is still anxious about it. I didn't think it was as bad as it used to be but now that I've been cutting back on her Noggin/TV viewing and it's quieter in our place (ahhhh), she can hear them more. The only thing that seems to help is playing her music to sort of drown it out. But I'd rather work on the problem than just avoid it too.

Lately, she has been giving me a VERY hard time in the morning when I'm trying to get her ready for preschool (9am - 1pm mon-fri special program). We were having no problems with this at all and now EVERYTHING is a fight from getting dressed to eating breakfast to getting the coat on. She actually gets hysterical at times and cries (really cries, not the fake kind) saying " no school!! no school!! " . It really breaks my heart but every time... we're halfway there in the car and she's as happy as a clam! Get to school and she's all smiles and barely takes the time to say 'bye' to me. (Don't let the door hit you in the aaa on the way out! " LOL!)

I know that emotional problems are typical for Asperger's but at this age I'm not sure what to do about it. I think it's making her sleep worse too. She's now back to waking up at night and she just doesn't go back to sleep right away. I have to stay with her and usually fall asleep next to her but last night when I would wake up and carefully get up to go back to my bed, she would wake up! She's sleeping very lightly.

I am am a poor sleeper... without meds I am a very light and anxious sleeper. I take medication for anxiety/depression and mood stabilization (don't know if I'm officially diagnosed as bipolar or not) so I know there might be a genetic component to this. I know they have linked bipolar and autism in families.

Should I take her to a child psychologist? A psychiatrist? I am NOT willing to medicate her at this point (last resort) so I'm thinking the psychologist? Can they actually do anything at her age? Anyone have any experience with one and their young child?

I'm going to look for some homeopathic and herbal help for this which is how I treat any illnesses or injuries...anyone else have info I can use in this realm?Thanks,JenMom to Emery, 3 yrs, Asperger's

Hi Vicky and Welcome,

Your Estradiol and Testosterone levels look dam good your Thyroid is not looking

so great if your on a T4 only med like Synthroid this dose not work for 80% of

the people on it. What I need to see is your Free T3 and Free T4 with your

Total T4 and T3 your TSH is high for someone on Thyroid meds mine is at .3.

I find the best meds are Dissected Thyroid here is the USA it is called Armour,

Westhyroid or Naturethroid. Because Armour is not made anymore the other brands

can't keep up with the demand. So there is a shotage.

But you can get Thyroid-S from Sriprasit Pharma Co. in Thailand. Or you can get

Canada's Thyroid from Erfa's.

It's all in this link and read the site it's great.

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/armour-vs-other-brands/

You also need to have your Cortisol levels tested if your low on this taking

Thyroid meds don't work you need Cortisol to carry the Thyroid hormone out of

your blood into your cells this link is great full of good info about this.

http://livingnetwork.co.za/hormones/adrenal-fatigue/

Can you tell me when you feel this anxiety is it after your T shot or does it

wake you up in the middle of the night. I ask this question because it might

not be anxiety you might be hypoglycemic or having a drop in your sugar levels.

Next time you feel like this try eating some candy or drink some OJ see if this

helps.

I get anxiety and Panic Attacks but it's from high levels of Estradiol.
