Hello

[Guest guest]

Welcome Wolfgang!

Nice to have you on our list! What type of help do you think you are in need of right now? Any specific problems you are facing that led you to the list?

All My Best,

[Guest guest]

All of the (few) cases of asperger's I've seen proper diagnostic

testing on were arsenic toxic, not mercury toxic.

Arsenic responds very well to chelation with ALA.

Helo MW.. A not uncommon confusion in terms. Apraxia and dyspraxia are often

used interchangeably. Many make the distinction between apraxia as an acquired

disorder (post stroke, post trauma..) and dyspraxia as a developmental disorder.

Hi Fly! It's nice to have you back again. There's several of us that don't

have a diagnoses yet. How are your fingernails doing? Do you have the

" sausage digits? " Sometimes I think my diagnosis is not right because I don't

have nail involvement and have so little psoriasis, but after reading the

psoriasis group, there are some there that have no psoriasis at all. It

baffles me how they diagnose psoriatic arthritis with no psoriasis. At least I

DO have psoriasis in my family including both of my children and an aunt.

I remember my brother getting patches on his wrists when we were young.

Sorry the fog has been so thick Fly. I know how that goes. Fibro fog is the

pits. I hope your good days start to outnumber the bad. Summer is coming, and

hopefully the nice weather will help you feel better.

a

P.S. Your husband is a very sweet guy!

This is Fly, here. Many of you may remember me and to you, " Hello again " . To

others who don't know me, " Glad to meet you " .

I have FM, OA in many areas, moderate to severe Osteoporosis, (depending on

which area) carpal tunnel, migraines, and RA or PA, I don't know yet, and

psoriasis.

I was diagnosed with FM 13 years ago. It is all but impossible to figure out

what triggered the FM. Too many things to list, but all things that can make the

problems worse.

Then about 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with RA. BUT, within the last several

months, my Rheume and other doctors think that I may actually have psoriatic

arthritis. Which ever it is, it is an inflammatory arthritis and I don't like

it.

I am on Fosamax 10mg, Miacalcin nasal spray in the AM, Prevacid 30mg,

Azulfidine 500mg bid, Naproxyn 500mg bid, and Trazadone 50mg at night.

As most of us, I have my good days and my bad. Lately, too many bad, though.

The fog is really thick around here.

I am still working. I teach and do Braille and adaptations on the elementary

level. I tutor adult non-readers and am active board member (when I can be) with

PA Cleanways, a recycling and environmental awareness here in Pennsylvania. I

use to do other things in the evenings and weekends, but have had to cut some of

them out recently because of fatigue.

I am married to a really weird, but wonderful guy and I have 2 daughters. One

who lives in Chicago and the other who lives with us, after living away for 8

years.

I am (I just wrote 27, how I wish) ... I am 47 and find wonderful comfort in

our 4 dogs and our cat. Thank goodness for critters!

I don't talk too much, but when I do, I tend to go into detail. I will try to

control that. I have several wonderful friends on this list that have seen me

though some emotional times. I am happy to be back.

Marie,

Sorry your ribs have been bothering you so much. It must be very difficult

to work at all.

Has the pleurisy subsided?

Best of luck at your appointment on Friday. I hope that you and your doctor

can come up with a better treatment plan.

I'm glad you left this message from Marie attached . I never got this

one! I hope isn't burping again. I haven't had problems that I

know of, but how do we really know?

Marie that rib pain is so debilitating. I've only had a few episodes of

rib pain, but it was so painful and was aggravated by every move. I can

imagine after 3 weeks of this, you are really worn out. Have you tried

warm compresses? Has the doctor discussed injecting the ribs with

cortisone?

I hope you feel better soon.

hugs,

Hi All!I haven't posted in quite some time, but I wanted to let you know that we are doing just fine. is rounding out nicely. We even met another person in our area who has a son the same age and is seeing the same orthodist. The orthodist recommended that we see our Neurosurgeon for a check up and said that it should only be a few more months for his helmet. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. now has two bottom teeth, is crawling very quickly and is climbing up on everything...I don't know if I want this helmet to come off because it sure has saved his little head from a lot of bumps!Well, I just wanted to say hello and let you know that we are still alive here!Talk to you all soon.StasiaMom to 9 months - STARband - 03/01 - PA/DEFor more plagio info

Stasia,

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that things are going well for

and that his head is rounding nicely. Before you know it you will

be posting the " graduated " message!! had some good bumps

when she finished with her helmet because she was not used to being cautious.

After the first few times she learned pretty quickly!!!

Let us know how it goes with the nuero!

Hi Trisha,

Wow this is so ironic. I just moved from Southern California to Las

Vegas last month. However, I am still going every three weeks to see

at Cranial Therapies in Burbank. I usually stay with my mom

for about a week when I go down there so if you want to get together

when I go for Tommy's adjustments that would be cool. I can't

believe I am WAITING for someone from CA to join the group and nobody

joins until I move. I would have loved to have had someone to talk

to while I was there.

Jill Ramos, Las Vegas,NV, formerly of Ventura, CA.,mom to Tommy and

Gavin, 8mos.

P.S. I will be staying in Santa Clarita. Is that close to you?

Hi:

Talk about ironic, I just posted a question to see if there are any

Californians out there. My name is and I line in CHico

(Northern CA) I talked with in Burbank on Friday. He sounded

like he knew what he was doing. He said that all of our visits can be

made in one day (no overnights) Has this been the case with you?

Glad to hear from people on the west coast!!

Hi ,

It's about TIME we got some people in CA! I have been a member for

about 2 months or so. is a pretty cool guy but he does have a

big ego. I will say this, though: My son never had any red spots or

sores on his head from his band. From day one, we were able to keep

it on all day (well except for the first couple of days...he would

wear it for a little while, then get pissy-but that stopped pretty

quickly). He doesn't even notice it when I pop it on his head now.

My son is notoriously shy around strangers, but he REALLY liked

. And the casting went very smoothly there, too.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all schedule our appts. for the same

day? Their latest appt. is 11:30AM, that is probably why said

you could get it done in one day. The airport is only about 10 min.

from there.

Well, I've blabbed long enough. Chat night is on Tues., hope to

maybe talk to you guys then!

Hi,

I am 28 yo male and live in Brisbane Australia, and I have BPES

(Blepharophimosis Ptosis Epicanthus Invertus Syndrome). I was the

first in my family to exhibit the condition. I have two children, a

boy () and a girl (Zoe) and they both have it, although Sam's

was less pronounced than mine and Zoe less again.

I experienced the taunting from peers who do not accept someone who

is different. To me this was the most difficult part of this

condition. I feel very hurt when my children still experience the

same thing.

I had an number of operations as a child and was generally

disappointed with the results. I am faced with issue of operations

for my children. Do I subject them to the risk and discomfort of the

operation for the sake of ignorant people and how successful will the

operation be? They are happy and healthy children and only know

about their condition through thoughtless people around them.

Thats my experience. Good luck with your journey through life.

It is so nice to see you posting. I know this means that you're on the road

to recovery. I hope you

are able to eat again now that this is behind you. Ensure must get old

after awhile. Did your doctors

say how long you have to go without your RA meds? I hope not to long.

Getting drainage tubes out was

never my favorite part, but the only good thing about it is that it means

you are recovering.

I'm sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.

[ ] hello

Hi Guys,

First I want to thank everyone for all their prayers. It is all the

prayers that has gotten through this.

Right now the RA is the worst of the pain. I am still slow and not

able

to eat much but getting better. I was a little shocked when I got weighed

and lost another 15 pounds. However, that isn't bad considering all they

took out.

I still have the staples and 5 drainage tubes, not looking forward to

them

coming out. That should be on Thursday.

I just wanted to say hello.

, I have been trying to call you but I think I took your

number down

wrong. I will continue to try.

[Guest guest]

Hi a,

I am sorry for not getting back to you. How is feeling? I hope

everything went well.

I had a little set back. I went to the drs. and he removed the staples

and four of the five drains. On the ride home I started to have a lot of

pain from my ribs which is were the drains went. I had to call the

hospital at 2 am the pain was so bad. They told me it is normal that when

they pulled the drains out they traumatised everything. So for the next

few days it is going to hurt. They told me to take the tylenol and

codeine. I just wished they had told me about this at the drs. office.

Good news all the test are back and there is no cancer.

I will catch up with everything here soon, I hope.

Hi a,

You don't need apologize to me, we all get busy. I am glad to read that

is okay. I haven't been able to ask my son Rick about the drug. He

has been sick and when Rick get sick he is really down for the count. It

always took him longer to get well when he was a child.

How are you feeling? I know you were a little down when we spoke, I hope

you are better. September 11 has shocked everyone of us. Those pictures

you sent are beautiful. I am sending them to my friends. I know a doctor

who is very religious and he will appreciate them.

Eating is a pain in the butt. I wish I had thougt to talk to a dietician

when I was in the hospital. I don't get real hungry and when I do I have

to think what to eat. Maybe things will get better when the drain is out

next Thursday. It took five days for the pain to go away from the other

drain removal, hope it doesn't happen this time.

I hope today finds you well.
