My son is 14 and we have not had much success with any protocol, keeping in mind he has been reluctant to participate in almost everything. I have been in touch with Dr Mary of Marys Herbs concerning her OCD protocol that pertains to thinning myelin sheath. I am looking for parents that have used her protocols to share their stores and effects the treatment has had. Thank you!

We've been doing okay for a while now such that DS15 getting good grades in his classes. Did well spring of freshman year. Unfortunately we entered a huge flare this past weekend. Panic, anxiety, OCD - alot of which stems now from not wanting to enter into another flare (PTSD). It's scary and he freaks out when he knows he's going into one. Starts with "thoughts are back." Progresses to 3-4 days of insomnia issues which then progress to days of better sleep but continued more mild OCD with steep cognitive decline. Our biggest problem is and has always been his memory deficit after the initial insult. It lasts a good solid 7 days. We are now on lamictal low dose but that has not helped this issue. We do zinc and anti-inflammatories - doesn't help too much. I tried taurine as suggested by Nancy on this board but that didn't seem to agree. Last week he got perfect scores on honors chem and pre-cal tests and wrote the best essay in english class as stated by his teacher. This week - he can't do double digit multiplication. I've spent the last several hours going over chemistry - simple concepts - atomic number - protons and neutrons--. He cannot hold on to any information for more than 5 minutes. I know he will "get his brain back," but I do not understand how he is supposed to go to high school when he misses his brain for two weeks at a time. I can't coach him through. It's a deficit. Dr. L is recommending a month of antibiotics and then IVIG despite no positive strep. This child has never had an MRI an EEG or any other work up. It's all psych and PANDAS specialist driven. I guess I just need some words of encouragement AGAIN. To be honest - it seems like a two week seizure every time. Is that what everyone else sees?
