  1. Just wanted to mention she got to the point that she did not want to chase ds around. She would sit there and complain that legs hurt. she didn't want to run which was very unusual for her. It freaked me out. She couldnt go around the block on her bike without being tired meaning her legs hurt. I would carry her and bike . She would ride bike and give up bc her legs hurt. She is now flying at top speed which scares me but at least she is not complaining of pain! .

  2. I know this is totally of the wall but just though k would throw It in . Dd would complain of pains in her legs at night for a long time. It was either her ankle or leg or knee. There were several nights that she was up constantly crying and complaining in pain pointing to her legs. I think she was four at the time but recall at two crying and it always happened at night. It got bad with her waking up and complaining and crying that something inher legs hurt. She went gluten free and surprise all this has gone away. In her case gluten free helped her greatly!

  3. Okay so I am wondering. Ds has done this at least 7 times since I last posted! There was one time where I heard someone running to the bathroom and I just layed there and after 5 min walk in and he is pasted out. This all started after the strep. He never did this before. I now recall DH saying he used to fall asleep taking baths. His mom would come knocking at the door and he would fall asleep. He would mention this before we had kids. I would always say how can you just fall asleep? There has to be some connection. This is weird. J feel like

  4. Okay have not mentioned this to anyone. 4th of July weekend had a good time at neighbors. Had too much to drink and had a bad fall In garage on stairs. I hit my ribs which have been hurting!! So two weeks of pain. I have researched and there is nothing that could really be done I guess so haven't gone to see a doctor. I think I broke something bc pain in them and some in my back. So I am been going with no pain meds and am in pain. Along with strep in dd and ds acting up! So I am at the point where my head is spinning liturally. I hurt! I was afraid to move for several days but now pain in back. But at least I can move more now. DH has no clue. I tell kids to not not touch my ribs. I do everything like before but have ds carry things. I read it takes 6 weeks for ribs to heal. This is sad but I don't really mention the extreme situation bc to dh he might panic.

    Seriously I hope I am ok. When I see other family's all smily and happy I feel like why me!!! Crap it's summer and I am not well! I feel Like I just won the worst mother of the year award bc I can't do anything!! I actually went to jewel the other day and had my ds lift the 32 bottles of water into the cart at self checkout and the clerk helped him and I felt like I was going to pass out. The stress of everything is making me feel light headed constantly! I need to toughen up! I worry about myself and then about them and everything and well I feel defeated!

  5. Yes he was liturally my wake up call in the morning. The coughing and sneezing and blowing his nose. I taught him how to suck it in and spit out the hockers( I know I am spelling it wrong). So then we had them every morning but I just wanted to make sure he got as much of the phlegm out that he could. I didn't want it to go into his chest. But he is is doing great with those morning wake up calls. I think stopping this helps with other issues. Good luck I hope you find some relief.

  6. Hi dawn,

     

    I wanted to mention the phlegm in morning. My ds has this every morning along with sneezing about twenty times on waking up . Doctors suggested asthma because he was just so stuffed up and obviously his breathing was impaired. We had the igg Elisa food sensitivity vloid test done on him and 28 things came up. Once he was on elimination diet his morning phlegm and sneezing improved greatly over time. No asthma thank goodness in 3 years. So in his cause it was due to foods. He has outdoor allergies also. But watching his diet with food allergies and sensitivities has helped his outdoor allergies. He has not taken allergy meds in 3 years. I hope this helps some.

  7. Okay here I go. With the strep throat my kids are put on on antibiotics and with sinus infections or ear infections. They are not on antibiotics in between. This is what I am still fighting inside is that ds was put on them so many times between an infant and 7 years old at the time that it really messed up his gut and took several years of healing. Yes with the recent

    strep and only step bc they have been fine otherwise I put them on antibiotic. I guess what confuses me is that a lot of children are put on antibiotic over long courses of time. How do you deal with gut issues? I feel like my kids get worse being on them. I feel like it could be due to messing up there gut. Like with dd all of a sudden she got congested after two days of being on them, she is sneezing a lot which she never does. I always wonder what is in there. She also gets hyperactive when she is on them. Me and DH have noticed this for over 7 yrs that when they are on it they tend to act differently or are more hyper. But the wired part is I remember ds being worst with them when he was younger and I couldn't wait for him to finish the dose as i feel now with dd. I truely wonder if it's the growing of yeast aspect. I can't imagine them being on them for longer periods.

    here case I feel the yeast takes over.

    se in the back of my mind is antibiotic resilience over time. Like I mentioned before I think I am going crazy but always wonder!!!

  8. Well maybe I am just used to it. DH gets home at 8pm he had been working crazy long days. Ds drives up on his bike and says that he wants to build a foam pit so he can drive his bike up and crash into. DH looks at him like seriously that is impossible and can tell he is aggravated. He says we have no room . Ds asks when will we buy a house with a lot of land (so he can have his motorcrossing track and now pit). Wow really these kids think money grows on trees. They dont realize dh has been fixing air conditioners in todays heat of 100 and is exhausted. I look at dh and say yes 3-4 hours of him talking about building and storing this. He can't take it after 5 min. As dd is hiding behind him and grabbing him hard to try to scare him. She is draping pool noodles behind his head and just really being annoying to him. I tell her to cut it out and try to tell ds to back off also. As DH says I should of stayed at work. He looks at me like seriously this is what your dealing with and like what the heck is going on. So maybe I am used to it and it doesn't seem so bad or DH needs to chill out! I guess I don't know a different life and try seriously try to make the best of things.

  9. No dogs in house bc ds tested positive for saliva couple years back. But this is interesting bc neighbor has dog that ds will play with. He is not reacting to the saliva but now wonder about this strep!! The thing is though none of their kids ever had strep! What if they are carriers! Ok I now will classify myself as being clearly crazy?!!

    Mar

  10. Dd is about 50 lbs and was put on amoxicillin 400mg/5ml susp 75ml. Takes 7ml twice a day for 10 days. Okay she is extremely hyper now. My kids always get like this when on antibiotics. It's like she is slap happy and is going like the energizer bunny. One wired child always equals out to two. They feed off of each other and makes my day full of no's and If you do that again your going to your room for time out? I fear for dear dd because she finest think and goes about doing whatever.

  11. Thanks for replys sadly I am not alone with this strep in July. It never really hit them this time of the year. But nothing seems impossible when it comes to strep. Dd is having some night fears but nothing intolerable. From what I have read I shouldn't complain but do notice her acting slitly differant and knew it was strep. Ds was ticcing again today more then usual so wonder if it's new bike or if it's the strep in the house. I think strep! But I only notice it when he was watching tv and then seemed fine. Your son had a T&A did it help? If seems like it didn't make a difference. OCD and none stop talking has been pretty constant with ds for months. thanks for the support!!

  12. So I read on this site that brain fog and muscle pains could be a sigh of Lyme. So my question is that this sounds like DH. Is Lyme treatable even if you had it for who knows how many years? Like what if DH had it for 20 years if this makes sense. Just curious. If you don't catch is right away how long to you have to treat. And if so I have read that tests might not be so accurate. Any info would be appreciated.

  13. I would defiantly test her for strep!! Look at some of my old posts. Ds at 7 started having tics and OCD and was a mess. He has has the head jerks from front to back and neck and head jerks side to side. Had eye blinking and vocal. I am going on almost three years and what I have learned is interesting. You sound like me where a person throw out pandas and told me to go get him tested and I was looking into torrettes. First does anyone in your family or husbands family tic? My husband tics and that's about it. My ds has multiple allergies and sensitivities that we discovered and have addressed. Both my children also have had their share of strep. I now truely know it's not torrettes but pandas symptoms and allergies. I wasted a long time in the beginning assuming torrettes bc DH ticed. But over time realized its food, dyes, preservatives and strep that sets my children off. I know it's a lot to take in but when you see the correlation it really opens your eyes and you get that feeling of yes I could help in some way. You could pm me if you have any questions. I was lost and scared in the beginning still am at times. But your not alone. This site is awsome and really helped me with everything.

  14. So what else is new. I now sound like a broken record. Dd has strep. . No congestion or throat pain. This time it's headache and fever that is manageable. The highest it got was 102 and is staying on the lower side so she is not suffering with that this time around. I can take that over 104.5!! Anyway so my anxiety is going nuts today bc all i could think about is my month of ###### in may. I hope ds doesn't get it and we do the whole roller coaster of passing back and forth. That would suck!!! Strep is currently my worst enemy!!!! How does one get strep in the middle of July?? No one else had it on the block but my kid gets it. There has to be a carrier!! And I don't know who!!! I don't want her to miss her summer. I feel bad for her!

  15. So ds and dad go 4- wheeling today ( this brings much joy to ds) anyway he walks in with a vitamin water and a 2 foot strip of jerky which is pretty much all eaten. So I grab it and look at ingredients and crap pretty much a list of 20 preservatives and crap that he never gets. So I let him have one that we have at the store that had beef and corn syrup and a couple of other ingedients once in a blue moon. So anyway 15 min later he is on couch doing like three different tics. Eye rolling, head jerks, moaning sounds and what ever else. I look at DH and see that he notices him and had his hand on his head. So when I speak to DH he says sorry he said he could have it. So I tell him that he needs to start understanding this and should not have ds tell him what he could have. I explain what he is seeing and that I don't want you (DH) to get flustered because of this . I tell him this is why I am always so crazy with food and if he sees. He says I don't want you to be mad. I tell him I am not mad but I can't and don't want to be the watchdog all the time. Basically trying to tell him I am sick of all the weight of everything being on my shoulders and I need to be able to talk to him and have him beside me. Anyway I hope this is short lived by ds I now it usually is in the past. It usually is but once again I am amazed how this junk, all these perservitives mess him up!! The vitamin water I don't worry about yes it's loaded with sugar but he has one very rarely and he is getting older and everyone is drinkIng monster or gatorate and what not so of course I am thinking of the future so

    he can grab one of these to not look like an outcast.

  16. Seriously I just feel like I am tired and have no fight in me. I seriously don't know how you parents do this. I did not take her in today. Her only complaint is headache which is probably due to fever . I will probably bring her in tommorow ( strep is in my mind). But I am tired from the month I had in may!!! DH and I had an argument on Tuesday night with about dd always wanting her way and cries if she doesn't get it and smacks her brothet. Of course I come out the bad guy b/c I come in and mellow things out and i get the cold shoulder from DH saying she'd is a liar and I feel like I am trying to calm three kids down. Really the apple does not fall far from the tree!!! I have DH and dd telling me completely different stories. She is like her dad with anger and lying ( when it comes to the kids) . So DH calls me today to say he has had a migraine today and how is dd doing. He says "what is wrong" with her. I say i have no clue I am not a doctor!!!! I just don't have any answers and i just don't know. But what kills me is that everytime these kids are sick DH says he hasn't been feeling well. So DH comes home and I finally ask him what is wrong are you not feeling well? Well I had a migraine throughout the day but several days ago I had some congestion and coughing and maybe I am a strep carrier. Well first of all I am thinking lay of the ice cream which he knows makes him feel bad. So he is starting to feel that he is causing this because of all my talk about someone could be the carrier. And I swear everytime the kids are sick he says he either hasn't been feeling well or isn't. But no fevers of nothing. It has gotten to the point where I assumed it must be his OCD. Where god forbid someone is sick and I feel sick or felt like that a couple of days ago. . I just feel like I can't deal with this all at the same time. I feel like screaming !!!! I feel like saying you tell me what is going on!!! Sorry but I feel like all three of them think I am crazy but yet they hold on dear tight and want me to solve everything. I feel like I am sinking and don't know which way to turn. Sorry for the babbling but DH just annoys me at times!

  17. So crazy mom is up at 1:30am reading posts. I go grab dd off the couch b/c they were watching a movie earlier. She is on fire!!! She whispers I had a blanket on without me even saying anything. So as i am walking up the stairs i think crap not again!!! Of course 102 fever here we come. Whatever this is I hope ds doesn't get it. I just took them fishing today with grandma and my brother and two of his kids and they had so much fun. dd was acting a little different but i just don't know anymore and ds was so clumsy but like I said who knows!!! I hope this is short lived!!
