  • JacobsMom General Information Hi everyone. Our story may be a little different from most but here goes..while pregnant with our first child, drs found that I had a large pituitary tumour pressing on my optic nerve. This was during the third trimester of pregnancy and I was given Bromocryptine. The drug lowered my prolactin and shrunk the tumour but I also had a placental abruption shortly after taking it. After the abruption, the baby stopped growing (intrauterine growth restriction) for the last two months. When born he had NO fat at all on his body. He had colic, uti, and did not sleep for more than 1/2 hrs until he was at least 8 months old. He was slow with all milestones and was given an autism spectrum diagnosis just before his 5th bday. He has since been diagnosed with Tourette's, adhd and PANDAS/PITAND. I want to know if the drug/pregnancy created these issues or if it is something else. He has tested homozygous for MTHFR 677T and now I want to know everything I can about any gene that may be causing his delays. He has movements problems as well as motor planning issues and memory problems. He is a friendly kid but highly impulsive and hyperactive. He is small for his age and very skinny. I am going to be contacting the Bayer College for information on the genome sequencing test for him so that we can finally get some answers.
