I'm back for a sec and wanted to ask you Glenda if any of the Drs have prescribed something like nystatin or diflucan for yeast? Are you giving him acidophulus (sp?)? They make it for children. I used to think yeast infections were overdramatized... till I had a more severe experience. With my first child who's now 8, was born, they had to put him on respirator in ICU because I had spontaneously gotten toximia/preclampsia on the onset of labor and they OD'd me on the mag(neseum). It was one of the worst experiences (however nothing these days is even a close second to this crap), anyway... He got too much mag as well and his lungs wouldn't move. During his time in ICU... he caught some kind of lung infection (yes in the Prenatal ICU, inside a plastic incubater thing with holes for our arms to reach in and touch him, and that's after scrubbing up to our elbows and having to wear a mask, coveralls and hat covering hair). Good gosh! How did catch something after all that? And in a clean sterile hospital? (rolling my eyes)... but that's what I thought. I'd never heard of "noscomal." In any case... they loaded him with anti-biotics for couple weeks and allow me to nurse so he'd have more strength, we finally go home and he got thrush in his mouth and the gave me a solution to dab in his mouth but it was ttoo late for me... in just one day I had it on nipples, hours later in my own mouth, and finally the obvious place we usually get yeast infections. It was THAT fast and THAT spreading. Unrelenting as well for it took weeks and weeks of swishes and creams and in my mouth it was quite painful. But more importantly... it made me feel disoriented and irritable and this surreal zone-out trance, like a bit disconnected. Certainly it could have been the medicine causing this, or post pardem, but I am sure that after the first week when the yeast was going... so went the emotional/mental/physiological lability because I stayed on the meds for weeks after.
I know I've mentioned this before, but I've experienced it and I don't think we we attribute too much concern or blame to yeast. It can have some pretty profound symptoms once it becomes systematic. All on it's own... even without having Lyme as well. If you haven't ruled this out... it could be exasserbating Lyme symptoms.
