Hi!!!!Well I have an appointment for my son on Wednesday....But it is

with a regular pediatric doctor...I have to find a doctor that

specializes in the Lyme Disease...But this is hard to do with no

insurance at all..But I figure this is good right now that way he can

get more meds.I will let everyone know what the doctor says on

Wednesday...If anyone knows a good doctor that handles Lyme in the

hudson valley region....around Poughkeepsie,Goshen, and surrounding

areas please let me know so I can get that going and see how much it

will cost.Thanks,Doris

hello donna, i was diagnosed with systemic jra when i was 5. i know how

your son feels. by the time i was 17 i could hardly do anything on my own.

i could not sit down unless i backed up to the couch and just fell backwards

on my butt. sound like your son? then, i couldn't have gotten up if the

house caught on fire! don't even ask me about stairs, that was impossible.

basically if you wanted me to go somewhere, you'd have to pick me up and put

me there. my joints were so badly damaged the docs didnt know how i moved

at all, and because of the damage to my legs and the pain, it took over my

whole body. it took me forever to feed myself cuz my arms hurt so bad to

move, especially to lift them to my face. i couldnt brush my hair or put on

my deodorant anymore. the only steps i took were horrible and hardly ever

alone since i needed help to get up anyway. i walked only from the bed to

the toilet, hardly ever walked down the hall to the living room anymore. it

was just too hard, hurt to bad. if i was an animal, someone would've shot

me to put me out of my misery. but, then my life changed. at 18, i had my

right hip replaced. six months later, i had both knees replaced. if your

son needs knee replacements, i do not recommend doing both at one time. six

months after that, i did my left hip. now, several years later, my left

shoulder. but don't worry. now i can walk til the cows come home. i have

no trouble feeding myself except for the new shoulder cuz it is still

clumsy. i can dress myself except for socks. i can brush my hair, shave,

deodorize, bathe myself. i use things like a shower brush to wash my hair.

i use a stick with a razor taped to the end to shave my legs(my own

invention). i also use a dressing stick to help put on shirts that have to

go over the head, plus it has a hook on the end to help pull up jeans. i

hope you will know that he can make it, if you have any questions about my

experience, i'd be glad to help. thanks, brandy

Hi Donna,

My daughter Kelsey, age 3, was diagnosed in April with polyarticular jra.

She started having problems with her right knee in April of 98, so it really

took us a year to get a diagnosis. She is also on Naprosyn and has been

going to physical therapy twice a week since diagnosed, now starting

occupational therapy for her hands and wrists. I can imagine how hard it

must have been to go through so many years of not knowing what was wrong with

your son. I know how hard it was for us to watch Kelsey go around with

swollen knees and limping, unexplained fevers, and just not feeling well and

acting as a toddler should sometimes was very upsetting. We went from having

an active baby who started walking at 7 months to a lethargic toddler. Very

scary, too. I have found this group to be very helpful and supportive, and

I'm sure you will as well.

Take care,

[Guest guest]

Darn typos... Kelsey started having problems in April of 99, not 98! LOL

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna,

It must have been a relief to at least finally get a diagnosis, after

not knowing for so many years. I can't believe it took so long before he

was able to be treated. Is it because his symptoms were unlike what is

normally seen in JRA pateints? I don't think there's currently any

medication that can reverse the joint damage that has already taken

place. Physical therapy and surgery may be the only way to help that.

Without a good NSAID to control inflammation, and a DMARD, even more

destruction to the joints might occur down the line. That's probably why

they've been prescribed.

After a ten month trial on Enbrel, it's surprising that the doctors are

still not sure if it's working. From what I understand, the response is

usually a lot quicker. If someone is going to be a responder, they

usually do so within the first 3 months. Some after just the first or

second injection! Then again, each person is different. And we don't

have any personal experience with Enbrel. I'm just basing that on what

I've read and heard about it.

Thanks for sharing your son's story. It's good to hear that he has a

positive outlook, despite all the struggles he's been through. Are there

any joint replacement surgeries planned for the near future?

Take Care,

Georgina

Dear Kandy,

Don't breast-feed too long, but you probably know this. About

4-7 months is sufficient. If longer, allergens can be passed down through

the milk -- something we candidiasis sufferers do not need.

There is so much to say. See Guy Smiley's e-mail on candidiasis

egroups about the juice regimen he was on for a while. Also see the

book, THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES, by Dr. Hulda . Also, see website,

health.microworld.com/html/zapper.html

To kill all the parasites with diet and zapping is to also kill candida,

since it is a parasite. Then a liver cleanse, or two, as outlined in her

book, is the thing.

Be talking with you soon. Glad to help, and will talk later.

-Sincerely, D'Amico

I am glad to hear the good news.

I can also relate to computer withdrawl, I keep my web tv as a spare, like a

spare tire and can activate it, if my real computer goes out.

I had an old computer, that was sooo bad that I put it out for bulk

collection and felt good when it was picked up. I spent more time fixing it

than I did reading my mail.

That's the way everyone should be thinking! Who knows. Mumps is really

the same in both sexes but after puberty a male can get inflammation of

testicles with it and therefore become sterile, but this too is rare and

EXTREMELY rare in BOTH testicles. Usually just one involved and doesn't

become sterile.

Your question is too open-ended. I don't do business with people because of

their size, that's ridiculous. That's not something I take into account

It doesn't matter who I deal with as far as business and personal dealings as

This seems to me a question about discrimination!! When I shop or do

business, it has nothing to do with a person's size, or appearance. I look

for a clean place, that's affordable, and convenient, it has nothing to do

with a person's looks.

I have just got the consultation document to comment on for the Chief

executive - I have to read the thing yet. It is rather odd that HVs are

not named as part of the constitution especially if they have a

register. Does that also mean that if there were cases of misconduct

going to the council - how would that work - or is that a daft question?

Does it also mean that they would be not be required to seek health

visiting advice? It probably spells that out in the document so I must

read it.

I feel its vital HV are mentioned in the consultation. We may need to ask why

we have been omitted. We are valued workforce and I am sure Mrs Blair if

given the opportunity would agree
