Inositol

This is a post about the wonders of Inositol and how it helps OCD and anxiety. But mostly it's a post about how God knows every detail of our lives and CARES for us! Several weeks ago I kept reading about Inositol and its ability to help OCD. Jaden has mild OCD and very high anxiety. I remember thinking as I was reading about it: "When we get paid I need to get that for Jaden" Immediately, God reminded me that I had the exact amount I needed for it in my paypal account. I went to look and sure enough, there it was. I wish I could say I am completely obedient to the Lord and I sent off for it that very night. I didn't but I can't remember why. In His goodness, He wouldn't let me forget. He kept reminding me by allowing me to read about it everywhere I went, by other moms and thier recommendations. So I did finally order it and the Doctor told me most kids need a high amount to make a difference. Since Inositol is a B vitamin and totally harmless at high amounts, I started off at 750 mg. I slowly ramped up and began to see my girl getting much more relaxed. But that's not the end of God's goodness. I ran out and placed an order for more. Jaden was off Inositol for two whole days and I began to see a steady decline in her ability to sit still, answer questions, be quiet and attentive. She started pacing, moaning, picking at her lips and scabs and not answering questions. I was so desperate for the Inositol that I considered going to the local health food store to buy more, even though I had placed the order the night before. I prayed and prayed for Jaden to settle. (I am sure her behaviors bother us way more than they bother her) Just as I was about to head out, the UPS man pulls up. (Doncha just love when that happens? :) ) He has our box. Not only is the blessed Inositol in there, but so was the things I ordered to strengthen my now-not-working right thyroid: Kelp and Selenium. The whole delivery of that box took 24 hours. I am not sure how they did that. I know God could do it in an instant if He had a mind to. I did a happy praise dance. I gave Jaden her Inositol right away. I have given it to her today at 3,000 mg. and my girl has had a beautiful evening.
