Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 , I am sorry your son is having to go through this. The teenage years are rough, and throwing a new diagnosis on top of it, makes it worse. I hope things start to look up for him as he learns how to deal with his JRA. Helen (mom to nne, poly jra 9, asthma) Hi, I'm new here Hi Everyone, I just joined the group. My 15 year old son has been diagnosed with JRA. He started with mild symptoms in the fall. The doctors didn't even suspect JRA at that point. Then at the end of March his symptoms worsened terribly. He was diagnosed at the end of April. It is effecting his neck, shoulders, spine, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. So far the medications he has taken haven't helped much. He took Naprosyn, then Tolectin. He's on Orudis and Minocin now. He will go back to the rheumatologist on Tuesday and we finally have a consultation with a pediatric rheumatologist on Monday. We have to go to Philadelphia, there is no one local. Right now my son is struggling with accepting what is happening to him. It's very difficult. School is also tough because in the last two months he's been out more than in. Most of his teachers have been very helpful. It's just tough for him to make up the work because he is exhausted. He comes home from school and goes to sleep. I'm hoping that when his pain is controlled this will get easier for him. I'm glad I found this group and I hope I can learn a lot from it.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi and welcome to the list. My sonwas 13 when he was diagnosed and his symptoms are similar to your son’s. NSAID’sdidn’t really do a whole lot and he was put on methotrexate (a DMARD) after aperiod of time. Those usually help a lot better than just an anti inflammatoryalone. Just to give you a heads up as to where the rheumy may want to go withthe meds. I know it is very hard on these kids todeal with. My suggestion is to educate your son (and yourself and family) asmuch as possible about the disease. He may resist at first, but once he beginsto understand what is going on in his body it seems to help them cope better.That is not to say they are all fine with it. My son struggled to deal with theidea of having this disease. He even made the decision once he was over 18 tostop treatment. He has finally gone back to a dr recently and I feel that is agood thing. He gets tired of feeling tired all the time, and he is tired of thepain (obviously) but at least he is now working on feeling better again. Evennow, my son will sometimes come home from work and sleep instead of going out.He just has days when he is exhausted. You should check out the arthritiswebsite, www.arthritis.org They have pamphletsyou can order for free that help explain the disease. One helpful one might be “When your student has arthritis†that you can give to his teachers. It is great you are going to a ped rheumy.The disease does affect kids and teens differently than adults and to havesomeone who specializes in kids is really helpful.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi , I am not sure where you live - (we are in South Jersey) but we also see the rheumatologists in Philadelphia - they are a wonderful group of doctors. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. My 12 year old daughter has JRA - right now she is struggling with a flare in her TMJs and has just been told that we need to add Enbrel to her meds. This is a scary move for us - but I can vouch for the comfort that this group will give. Take care, Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi, and welcome to the group. I have been away for a week or so. My 14 year old daughter has been having a lot of issues. She seems to be facing a lot of the same issues as your son. We live in Texas, but if he wants to talk to her she would love it. Her name is . Her email address is cassadyn@... or he can find her on MySpace. He can search her by name or her screen name is Marie. Thanks, , mom to 14, Poly JRA > > Hi Everyone, > > I just joined the group.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 , Welcome to CI Hear. Some thoughts that may help. One, dont give up on music but put it on the back burner and focus an improving your hearing with the CI. Have you tried different audis? You dont state what brand your CI is but one thing for sure, there have been improvements in many areas since 2004. New mapping software and speech strategies, new processors. I have the Nucleus Freedom and while I am not a music pro, I do enjoy music. Its not perfect but I love what I have. Prior to the CI, I had given up on music, gave away my records, my stereo. Now I am again back into music and even found a new genre that I am mad about, Celtic music. There are many CI'ers on the list who will pipe up about music. But first, get yours mapped for speech and who knows, music will follow. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* A grenade fell onto a kitchen floor in France, resulted in Linoleum Blownapart. & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi , I am a musician too and have made some great strives with the CI and music. It started out for me as noise with speech, music and noise all sounding the same. I really worked hard at auditory rehab with the CI (I got my CI back in 1987) and the world of music gradually opened up for me. I am now playing my violin again, 40 years after receiving my Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance and having to say good bye to music due to lifelong progressive hearing loss that had reached a profound level. I can now tune the instrument without an electronic tuner and have been listened to by professional musicians who state that my intonation is good. If it wasn't for Mitochondrial Myopathy, a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy, I would be able to play in ensembles again, like the local symphony, or chamber groups. I also enjoy listening to music and even have broadened my appreciation of music outside of the classical realm, to include Country and Jazz. Could you email me at rifox@...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi , Thanks for the support and encouragement. I have a Med-El Tempo and I'm waiting to hear from the insurance company concerning coverage for their new upgrade. According to Med-El it's supposed to be a big improvement over what I already have and will possibly make music more enjoyable. Right now, Amazing Grace on the organ sounds like heavy metalLOL!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 , I would not give up on music totally. I just met someone the other day who's profession involved music. I can't remember to what capacity, but whatever it was, he is still able to do his work. He did say it took work to achieve this. Myself, I have not achieved this. It's okay for me right not because music is not my life's work, but I would like to be able to enjoy it again someday. I think it was who said to not give up, just maybe put it on the backburner for now. I agree, never give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Dear and Nina, I am awaiting for an appointment from a New Jersey hospital who accepted my insurance for a hearing test. I have a social circle, and I would like to hear the group speak. I think that would be a reasonable expectation while music appreciation would not. In any case my hearing aid Audie mentioned I still can enjoy music in my better right ear. Hopefully, the recruitment, balance, vertigo, and tinnitus would not be troublesome if I get a low score. It is a risk that we all must take. Gerald From: Nina <cipalm@...> Subject: Re: Hi, I'm new here Date: Sunday, May 24, 2009, 8:21 PM , I would not give up on music totally.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi Gerald and other music hopefuls, Music listening does take work for most of us but in the end it is very rewarding. The CI/Hearing aid combo has been found to be the surest way to music appreciation. I don't have that option and am a unilateral CI and enjoy music immensely, but it took a lot of practice, patience, and endurance. Starting with the very simple and working to the complex is the way to go with both Music and Speech. Cochlear has a rehab program called Sound and (Way) Beyond that is very helpful towards that end. It has simple to complex exercises in both speech and music. I also have a article that I wrote years ago for publication 20 years ago and have updated since, that outlines how I learned to hear both speech and music starting from the point of Music, Speech and Noise sounding the same. I will be willing to share that article with anyone that requests it at rifox@....

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 , Your CI clinic may be able to do wonders and assist in getting insurance approval for an upgrade if they can show it offers increased benefits over the current processor. You have much to look forward to here as I have a huge collection of quotes that amuse and sometimes forces one to stop and think. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* Dilbert's Words of Wisdom: On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key. & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...

But what really worries me is I have boils in my armpits!!! Should I be running to the ER for an emergency dose of antibiotics or is this part of the routine detox? +++Hi Marjorie. Welcome to our group. Headaches are usual die-off symptoms since candida produces over 79 toxins, most of which are alcohol so that causes headaches much like a hangover. Boils are toxins coming out through the skin, so they are also die-off symptoms, and starting on this program will mobilize toxins more. You should be taking unrefined coconut oil as your only antifungal at this time, so ensure you aren't taking too much - start with small amounts and gradually increase them, otherwise you can get more severe die-off symptoms than are necessary. None of your symptoms would be caused by bacteria or a virus, so there is no need for antibiotics anyway. In any case, there are so many natural antibiotics that aren't poisonous like antibiotic drugs which also feed candida! Candida feeds off of poisons, mercury, sugars, etc. so it is a life-saving mechanism by Nature. Do what you can to help your body detoxify, i.e. Epsom salt baths, coffee enemas, dry skin brushing, etc. I suggest you help your boils by applying a 50/50 mixture of oil of oregano with olive on gauze and tape it on your boils overnight - keep the gauze in a plastic bag in the fridge and replenish the oils for using over and over. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
