With my daughter, it took a while on the fluconazole before her hair began to fall out. Not only did it come out easily, but the hair itself (the new growth near the scalp) seemed very, very weak. Check out this reference talking about long term use of fluconazole and alopecia. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7625624

Hi Anna, My daughter had significant hair loss from fluconazole. Not sure if your son is even on it, just wanted to mention it in case. I had a friend in high school who picked out all of her eyelashes. It seems like if he's pulling constantly, then that could be the cause (but I don't know anything about trich.)

My DD9 takes l-tryptophan at bedtime. It has been very helpful for her anxiety and worked well from day one.

Ok, thank you so much! Now I have a place to start.

We recently got Yasko results back for my daughter and she also has COMT +/+ mutations for both the v158m and h62h. She also is +/+ for MTHFR c677t and has VDR mutations as well. I have to admit that I have not implemented many new supplements based on these results because I'm completely overwhelmed by the whole thing. We've been doing biomed for 6 years and my daughter's list of supplements is a whole page long, so I'm no stranger to complicated protocols. How do you choose which from the list to use? There's no way we could ever afford the whole enchilada, much less have the time to swallow all of the stuff. How do you do it? I thought that we would be getting an individualized supplement list, but the suggested supplements for everyone is an entire page long, then there are the 4 pages that are based on the mutations. I know there are answers in those reports that will help us if I can only figure out what to do. My daughter's PANS symptoms are fairly mild now compared to a couple of years ago, but we just can't seem to get rid of the tics and anxiety.

Could I get those names also? I live in the Seattle area.

I wonder if it's a tic of sorts since it's not occuring at night. To me it seems possible that the urinary sphincter muscle could spasm/tic also.
