in the beginning of the month, doc thought EBV was back to bother ds. he is now on a homeopathic treatment for it - also just began another one for another virus. this doc has not led us astray before - so I'm stickin' with him. homeopathics can sometimes cause herx-like reactions.
since nothing exists in a vacuum to make things easy for me to know what is what -- ds has also been having many complaints this semester about school being boring and not challenging. he does have 2E issues so this is valid concern, not just normal 9 yo boy.
last week, he ripped up easy math work. also, got in trouble with sub for fidgeting -- 2 other teachers said was unfair for him, they know him and said was sub's fault. he worked through frustration with that well.
today, he was engrossed in his own book and wouldn't do work, resulted in him throwing a chair - have not seen that in a long time. I think it's likely he was so engrossed in book(lord of the rings -- I think his brain was off with the hobbits) that he missed the first couple of redirects and probably 'came to' when she was already frustrated and speaking sharply.
symptoms for him can be over-involvement in books and quick reaction to panic/violence.
I am not really seeing troublesome symptoms at home. I want to give him a dose of motrin in am for school- just as a cover if it is that a bit in a herx and showing up as having trouble dealing in a stressful environment.
if that is the only dose, how long do you think I can give it? how about 2/day?
thanks!
