My 8 yr old daughter has severe asthma & allergies. She has been on Singulair for a few years now. I thought that this was the answer for her. She's been so much better and hasn't been to the hospital in about 2 yrs. I am devastated to hear this news but also relieved because now I know why my once confident child has turned into this anxious person with no self esteem at all. She constantly complains of headaches,stomachaches and leg pain. She suddenly is afraid of everything, from going in elevators to going to school. She gets dizzy around a lot of people. She basically does not leave my side. She is missing out on so much fun because of fear. She was never like this. She always says that she is not good enough, pretty enough and hates herself most of the time. She is the middle child so we always passed it off on her not getting enough attention. I want my confident child back so I took her off Singulair three days ago. Her doctor recommended giving her Zyrtec if her allergy symptoms flare up.

I started my son on Reliv, a nutrition product that comes in powdered form and mixes with juice, milk, etc. Since we've done that, I have no allergy symptoms and we've weaned Stephen off his Meds. We are still very careful - asthma is nothing to play around with, but these products have really helped our bodies combat the health challenges that present themselves. We tell everyone because of the life-changing results. If you're lokking for a possible alternative to medicine ( there's no guarantee but for us it's been wonderful), call me. I'd be happy to tell you about it.
