When I Think about Drug Wars...I Don't think Mexico


When I Think Drug Wars...I Don't think Mexico. I think about the battle between my desire to make the right choice vs the reality there are no really good choices when it comes to Nicky and drugs. In the land of ASD, Epilepsy and negative behaviors Nicky has a drug for everything and it seems, dammed if I do and dammed if I don't. Clearly doctors have to try new drugs and we're all in this exploration stage  together hoping to improve outcomes. Still, I hate knowing my child is taking so many drugs to address one problem, while leaving so much uncertainty about the long term effects.   Seems, until we know more the best I can hope for is to pick the least of two evils. 


In January we begun taking Nicky off the medications, I was so excited. His seizures were under control and we began a plan for a slow and steady weaning of drugs.  As I mentioned in the past, it didn't work out so good and we had three months from @#!?*# in the Jones' house!

Today he’s back on the Depakene, to control the behaviors it had been masking. He’s on a larger dose than before because he’s bigger and needs more.  He was on Abilify for a month or so, but it made him drool and twitch.  So that’s gone. We’ve added two new drugs to help with the seizures and behaviors, they are Onfi and Nuedexta.  His doctors says he's been getting good results with this new med combination. I pray it's true for Nicky.

If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.  Who begins a plan to reduce medications and ends up increasing medications! So typical of our unpredictable world.    

PS:  No word on a possible diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder…I don’t think he has it, but I’ll keep you posted.

  1. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid, Dercum,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease.Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
