Make an appointment for treatment
I’m a pediatric doctor, our son Leo is 5.1 y.o. We started at 3.3 y.o and now completed 6th stage of the therapy by prof. Rakhmanov. Before treatment, the child responded poorly to the name, did not look into the eyes, did not engage in play, there was a lot of echolalia and zero understanding, walked in a diaper, hid when he pooped, clung to the potty and protested. He was like a shell, was not interested in other children, there were no role-playing games, he was not afraid of losing sight of his parents, he was not bored when he did not see his relatives for a long time.
After the 1th stage, the pointing gesture became stronger, he began to look more into the eyes, and began to answer yes/no. I started to involve my parents in the game. I stopped being afraid of the potty, but I didn’t go there myself. In the spring of 2022, we were supposed to go to the second stage, but the war made its own adjustments, my son and I left for Poland, it was a very difficult move (those who survived the migration in the first days of the war will understand me, people were traveling in the aisles, there were 11 people, 15 hours stood in the middle of a field in a train packed with people, it was not even possible to get out of the car, women and children slept sitting in the aisle and vestibule, it was horror, Lev cried and screamed, switched off from fatigue, and then cried again) after we lived in a wonderful Polish family, but for Leva it was still a huge stress, we received a big blowback, he was constantly hysterical, stopped talking, the diaper came back again, and behaved inappropriately in front of strangers.
I worked as a doctor’s assistant in Poland and even applied for permission to work independently as a doctor. It was also a shock for me, I was tormented by migraines, a terrible headache 1-2 times a week with vomiting, blurred vision and a bodily aura, for which no medications help. In June 22, we decided to return; we urgently needed treatment. After stage 2, everything gradually returned to normal, the son began to say words “on topic”, began to go to the potty on his own, play role-playing games, and became calmer.
I’m back to my work in Dnipro, but migraines and boiler pain did not allow me to work and live normally. I was irritable and apathetic. It was decided that I would take time off for 3rd stage and go for treatment with my son. And so they did. After stage 3, the son is absolutely independent in terms of toileting, goes to the toilet (pees while standing), expressive gestures appeared (hand to mouth in surprise), began to play with different toys, games became more interesting, with imagination, simple sentences of everyday level appeared from 2-3 words. I also felt much better, I had strength, my mood and the migraines almost went away. After completing 4th stage of therapy, Lev began to build more complex sentences (for example: I don’t want to go to bed, I want to play). It became possible to negotiate with him. He himself began to initiate conversations, demands more attention to himself, began to say the letter Ш in words, his speech became clearer. Then we finished 5th stage.
After which Lev showed us that he was no longer the same “comfortable and uninitiative”, but very active, mischievous and a little bit of a hooligan😅 he was constantly doing something weird: he didn’t give rest to the cat, he cut off an indoor flower with scissors, he flooded the bathroom, he started putting up a chair to climb in to the top shelves in order to get himself candy, he became cunning, began to take an interest in drawing, paints, and puts together puzzles with 60 pieces! I started sleeping all night without waking up. I also underwent treatment again, now the boiler pains don’t bother me, I forgot what it’s like to take 2 tablets of ibuprofen, there are no migraines, I have gained strength and mood!
On Monday we completed 6th stage of the treatment, at this stage my mother underwent treatment together at Leva, she had severe boiler pain, severe irritability, short temper and fatigue, she slept poorly and was in no mood. After 10 days of treatment, she felt much better, the pot was boiling and didn’t hurt, she returned home, stopped arguing with her dad, started sleeping well and generally looked better.
I really wanted to lose a little weight, but this is not for the professor, I told her about it right away)))) After the stage, Lev began to construct more complex and correct sentences, he is very cunning, he begins to make trouble with us and prove his point, she began to force him to write “copybooks” “, so now he suffers and invents different things, like: there will be bruises, I’m tired, I went home, I don’t want to, my arm hurts, etc.)). So, when in his interests, the vocabulary is very wide. Now we have an aggravation, so we are waiting for improvements. No exacerbations – no improvements. We will definitely continue the treatment, because as a mother, this is not enough for me, I want more and more! And tomorrow will definitely be better!
Thanks to the professor and the whole team for their help ❤️ with respect, mom, pediatrician.
