Hi, is anyone getting there child the seasonal flu shot, I am not sure what to do?? Deanna

Hi, Dr. Latimer asked us as well if we had any pets. WE had just put our 16 year old lad down in May and Anthony would love to lay next to her. She said pets especially dogs were big carriers. Don't know if there was ever any connection between Anthony and the dog??? Deanna

Thanks Cheri. things have settled down over the last few days, I just wish the waxing and waning would end, as you know some days for us is more frustrating and upsetting than othets, I guess things were going so well you start to wonder what did I do differently and you just can't figure it out. Thanks for all your support and insight you give, it is really appreciated. Have a good day. Deanna

Hi, who is the immunologist you are seeing?? glad to hear things are going so well. Deanna

Hi, we did allergy testing with our son. both the skin test and the IgE blood testing and some delayed sensitive testing through ALCAT labs. He does have alot of seasonal allergies don't know if this is contributing tohis increase in tics. We try to keep a pretty healthy diet so I am at a loss just frustrated. Deanna

Hi Melanie, I do not want to give you false hope but I really do beleive it takes the body time to heal time to recalibrate so to speak, just give it some time i am praying for you son. keep Anthony in your prayers he is having rough spell now as well so I know hou you feel --I wish there was a quick fix but it doesn't seem like thats the case. so hang in there --we are waiting for the results of the Cunnigham test, sometimes I feel even more confused.

Hi, Anthony is having an increase in tics. way back when I tried different vitamins and supplements at that time I think things got worse I was trying everything at once out of desperation/ I would like to get him on Magnesium but don't know what kind , how much , what brand. any suggestions would be appreciated. Deanna

Hi Melanie, Hang in there don't give up hope yet maybe this week you will start to see something. Have you touched base with the Dr. to get some insight or reassurance?? Deanna

Hi, Anthony is having some increase in tics. We are not on any supplemental Magnesium at this point, awhile back he was on a ton of vitamins and supplements but I saw no difference if anything I saw an increase in tics but I started everything at one time because I was so desperate. I would like to put him on magnesium but do not what kind to get. For those using Magnesium supplements, what would you recommend?thanks Deanna

WOW, very informative I will print that one and take to the grocery store with me. Deanna

Hello, well school has started and so has Anthony's tic a little more than usual. When the kids ask him why he does that with his head he always replies "its a tic" Well of course he is only 10 so when he says tics most kids think tic like a bug. Does anyone have any suggestions on what he should say?/ Dr. Latimer suggested having a quick to the point response but we are having problems thinking of one. any help would be appreciated. Deanna

Hi, I asked Dr. Latimer what she would reccomend she said Pearls by BioGro products. just need to take one a day. Deanna

Hi Melanie, Just wanted to check how everything is going. Hope you are having a good day. Deanna

Hi, what is the right amount of probiotics for a child on antibiotics? what brands does everyone use?? Deanna

Hey Melanie, how are things?? How is your son doing? Hope you can all get some rest now that your home. Deann
