Good luck to you! Do you know if there is a non-fish Omega 3 supplement? We are vegetarian.
flax seed is a source and is a plant!
My prayers for your son's surgery. Maybe soon this ordeal will be over. I hope. Omega-3 helps me - a lot!
The same thing happend to us. I had a Cat Scan of my six year olds sinus' and it showed boney erosion (very uncommon). She had no oxegen or air in her sinus cavities. This was serious. My child has been fighting this since October 2007. It would always go into strep. In April 2007 (or May) I took her off of everthing. I started noticing the same thing you did. My daughter would get better when all meds stopped. They tried her on EVERYTHING. Singulair was the only repeated one.
Since then...my daughter has been her old self. No high's, no lows. Just my sweet baby girl.
Before her symptoms were very high high's or very low low's. Her teacher even suggested adhd (she has straight A's) Sometimes she would get very calm like fatigued and it was like nobody was home inside her head. I could tell she wasn't right.
I called everyone in Tallahasee, I thought I might have a mold problem, she had allergy testing and everything was fine, she was tested for cystic fibrosis. Not once did someone tell me about Singuliar. I just learned about this yesturday. The Dr's are unaware of these effects. I am going to call my pharmacist and tell him about this and I'm also going to take this meds to the pediatrician and highly recommend him not suggesting it. It never once did was it was intended to do. It poisoned my child!
Good luck with you and your son. You will be in my prayers.
Thank you for all the well wishes! I got a phone call re his blood work today! Guess what in 3 months without any diet changes (in fact he has been eating alot worse because of throat condition) his cholosterol went down 34 points!!!!!
The only changes was coming off Singulair and starting Omega 3 supplement!
I don't know if can be proved but I really feel it was the Singulair which caused his high cholosterol!
