Hyper, hyper, hyper!

DS, is in week three of the Tindamax and Bactrim DS for Bartonella/Babesia. For the past two to three days he has been super talkative and literally bouncy! This is behavior he had when he was six (he is now 12). He seems relatively happy and yet bored--Dog days of summer, here!

 

Could this be a turning back the pages kind of thing? As the bacterial load goes down, could he be kind of working his way backward through some of the stages?? Also, he is showing greater interpersonal insight and remembering things from a long time ago (like right before he got sick). He is sleeping well!!

 

This disease is so squirrelly (as is my son, right now!)!!

So good to hear your son is so active (sounds like my 13 yr. old too), and good to see for the parent! Getting rid of the mold helps these kids heal faster/better so that may have your son on the road to healing... Keep us posted.

After starting treatment for Bartonella, my dd went through several three or four day periods where one of her symtpoms intensified. One of those periods was definitely hyperactivity. She was running through the house, jumping, bouncing...she couldn't settle down. At night, when she would try to go to bed she would kick and flail and say, "I'm so HYPER." It lasted a few days and then stopped. Then a week later, something else would come up (like the rages, depression, OCD).

 

This all happened within the first six weeks of treatment. Since then, she hasn't had such distinct, obvious and intense herxing periods. Still some herxing here and there, though...

 

Change is good, right??
