Re: Ketoconazole and behavior problems...-and tired

[Guest guest]

Thanks! It makes me feel better that I am not alone. I am giving her

probiotics as well as 1capsule of activated charcoal at bedtime. Is your son

going

to the bathroom more and do you see any changes in his stool? I will be

praying for your son today- what is his name? We will start chelation in

March. I

just had a emotional breakdown on with my husband at work- poor guy. I do

feel a little bit better now- I am off to take the kids to Monkey Joes here in

Charlotte... Maybe that will make them tired.. Thanks again for listening-

other parents or family members just don't get what we have to go through with

our children.

Any sugguestions on what would help my daughter be less confrontational?

My daughter is verbal - her main issues is behavior. She had lots of ear

infections when she was a baby so yes lots of antibiotics. She doesn't feel

good

most of the time( stomach hurts). This is probably why she is so irritable.

We had a hair test done and she came back high aluminum and mercury. She is

on the GFCF diet now for about 4 months. I too feel so much older than before

she was born. She has a good sense of humor, loves books, very smart and has

a memory that I wish that I had. Every so often we will have a really good

day and I know this is the she will be when all of the metals and other

stuff is taken care of.

My son's name is Dylan, what's your daughter's name? I will be chelating Dylan

around the same time so we should stay in touch. The only thing I've really

noticed about his stool is there seems to be more of it! His urine is very

cloudy in the mornings though. Have you seen changes?

Have a good time today (or at least try!) And feel free to e-mail me anytime.

It's important to talk to each other so we don't go crazy! mperrault at verizon

dot net (it never works when I try to give the e-mail address the proper way!)

Just to let you know, my son sounds much like your daughter and he is nearly

recovered.

Amazing that the irritability and stomach aches can eventually go away but they

did.

When treating for yeast, try giving some activated charcoal about 45 minutes

after the

antifungal. Makes a HUGE difference if you're dealing with ugly die-off.

And please try to take care of yourself! I did not, and I'm really paying for it

now.

Every so often we will have a really good

stuff is taken care of.

===>Yes, this is helpful, to remember that most likely her behavior is a

result of her not feeling well and this was my personal theory. That if we saw a

behavior once, it was in there just waiting to be the " norm " and that is exactly

how it unfolded.

Hang in there, ours was irritable, from birth, but she really didn't feel

well. She's happy and bubbly now and uses her good memory to call me everyday

with a new joke :-)
