Mustang Carole Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hi Everyone, I am a Newbie to this site. I have 3 older kids with disabilities. Daughter is 24 with just married a poor medical student, she graduated from college in Honors English and she may have mild undiagnosed ADD Son # 1 is 23 and diagnosed with Tourettes, OCD and Rx with meds x 10 years for severe tics. He took himself off all his meds and today is tic free and just started for his MBA. Son # 2 is my problem child....at age 17 he is the sweetest and easiest child to raise, but he is DX with Aspergers, TS and now the Docs do not know what is wrong. Symptoms are freezing in place and gets stuck for up to 2 minutes, he is delayed in his responses to verbal questions or commands. He has had negative MRI, 48 hr EEG, awaiting PET scan to be done. He is treated with combo of drugs that do help...Ativan, Haldol and Luvox since June and he gined 50 lb. I am desperate to help this child. Trying to wean him off these meds for PET scan and he gets very angry and stuck alot. He is homeschooled for now. Anyone ever hear of this? Help........

SRS Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Did you ever have him tested for heavy metals or chemicals toxicity? How is his digestion? How did your other son manage to get off drugs--are there any clues there? Know this must be really hard for you. Saying a prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
