Hey all! I hope everyone is doing great! I can't believe it's
already fall! With kids now in school and a raging, terrible virus
going around, how is everyone doing keeping well?
Just thought I'd share my choices for keeping the kids healthy this year, so far so good ***knock on wood***!
2 Daily Kids Multivitamin
2 Daily Kids Omega 3 with DHA vitamin
2 Daily Kids Immunity Vitamin
1 Daily dose of Root Beer Belly Probiotic (you get it from my website www.laceeclayburn.my90forlife.com)
I run an Essential Oils diffuser 3 times a day for 30 minutes (first
thing in the morning while getting kids fed and ready for school, as
soon as the kids are home from school, and just before bed while we
read), it contains To Be Well Essential Oil from my website (www.laceeclayburn.my90forlife.com)
I bought each of my school kids an Essential Oil diffuser necklace to
wear out in public and at school, I put one drop of To Be Well inside
it.
Every night I put a drop of Ravensara Essential Oil (also found on my website) on each of their feet.
I wash the kids school clothes with a few drops of Deep Cleanser Essential Oil (also found on my website) in the wash cycle.
And each of my kids has a bottle PureWorks Antibacterial Foam from my
website in their backpacks and have been instructed to use it A LOT, we
also have one of these bottles in each of our cars and we all use some
as we get back into the car from any public place we've visited. I
chose PureWorkes over handsanitizers you get in stores because PureWorks
keeps your hands germ free LONGER and it is 100% natural so I'm not
putting harmful, nasty chemicals on my kids hands for them to (very
likely) lick off .

Hair Loss
About 7 or 8 months ago I remember reading a post by a SVT mom talking about hair loss being linked with the use of Propranolol. I never thought much of it since Miss K wasn't having hair loss issues, I felt bad for her but didn't think to remember that post.
Fast forward about 4 months and you find me crying over a clump of Miss K's hair. I was taking a hair band out of her hair, I'm always gentle about this and the hair band was a soft no-pull one, but on this night a chunk of Miss K's hair came out with it. It was perfect, it looked as though I had taken a pair of scissors and cut the hair in a perfect square. There I was holding a lock of precious, sweet hair.
Fast forward another 2 or 3 months and you find me constantly dealing with hand fulls of hair each time I comb Miss K's hair, no matter if it is soft and tangle free or completely riddled with tangles and knots, no matter if it is wet or dry, Miss K's hair is coming out in clumps. She has a bald spot in the front that I thought was just genetics, except that there was hair there one day and then the next there wasn't, but I didn't really notice how fast it had gone nor did I really remember there being hair there at all, now looking back at pictures I see that there was hair there at one time and there's really no reason for her not to have hair there now.
I finally realized something was up. I got on all the facebook support pages I follow and asked around about hair loss being connected with either Propranolol or Digoxin, or maybe even a delayed side effect from Amiodarone, a long shot I know but I have been desperate to find a reason for her hair loss. Most of the mom's that answered had never heard of hair loss being connected to any of the three medications. But a choice few had heard of a link and were willing to share. Turns out I found the mom who mentioned hair loss and Propranolol months ago, she verified that her daughter had a hair loss problem off and on while taking the Propranolol, she couldn't tell why some months were better than others but she could confirm that her daughter's Cardiologist admitted that hair loss is a side effect of Propranolol, uncommon and not well known but still a side effect. Another mom commented that her daughter's Cardiologist also mentioned hair loss as a side effect of Prorpanolol. After reading these comments I dug through some more websites looking for this side effect to be noted somewhere and, amazingly, I finally found it, a site that has hair loss listed as uncommon and not well known but it is a side effect of Propranolol.
I will, of course, be asking our own EP Cardiologist and our Pediatrician, and maybe even our Pharmacist, just to make sure this is really what's going on with Miss K. I will update when I can. I am almost sure the Propranolol is the cause but I also know that low Iron and a lack of certain vitamins and minerals can cause hair loss as well and seeing that Miss K is not the greatest little eater these could certainly be part of the cause.
