Where is the calm girl we had no problems with when we went shopping? We took the entire herd to shop for a dress (for mommy - there's a wedding on Saturday!), and NBear acted like a child who had ingested 2 packs of chocolate-covered coffee beans! She was sooo not calm. I mean, sure - she was also talking up a storm, using great sentences, and had great eye contact, but all that also came with GREAT (uncontrolled) ENERGY!
Yes, of course the Huz also noticed. The poor guy took her grocery shopping today and came home looking like he crawled out of the bowels of a tornado. Perhaps the recent addition of these guys (pictured below) to NBear's program had something to do with it?:
Dear me. I guess I was in a daze when Acyclovir was discussed between the Huz and Dr. Mielke. I actually AGREED to this? *lol* It's used for herpes! And - did you see all the side effects? No wonder why! *groan* I vaguely remember that he wanted to try an anti-viral program on NBear BEFORE chelation, but the doc was quite reluctant to do so. (Something about NBear's immune deficiency not being up to par until after chelation, but in the end Huz was able to convince her to at least try this "switch" with NBear.) So, hello Acyclovir.
These two were also H-man's idea. He spoke to Dr. M about introducing these, and got her "ok" beforehand. I know some readers (like my new friend) have concerns about starting Virastop, but really all I've seen so far is (I'm afraid to say) ADHD-like behavior, confused behavior at times, and yes - defiant behavior. EVERYTHING is a NO. *granted, I love the sentences, but still:
"No! I don't want to go to school! No! My turn for the computer! No! I don't want to take a shower! No! No! NO!"
Oh - we've also noticed a frequent need to fidget with things - our faces, her father's ears (she had stopped doing that for a while), her clothes, to name a few. Seems like her sense of touch is heightened or something??? *sigh*
Hubby thinks it's the die-off from the Virastop. (he said I could quote him on that, so there.)
I'm just hoping it's temporary...................no matter what it is.
p.s. Dear Cult of Recovery - we are also (as shown in photo) adding OLE to this new deal. :) Nice to know we're in this fight together!
