My daughter has been on sulphasalizine and oruvail for over a year. Her

rhuemy has been careful about what meds he puts her on because she's only 14.

We've had no problems with either of these drugs, her sed rate has gone from

83 to 27. She is active again, has very few sore days and nothing as bad as

she had before these meds. I hope this helps.

I am rather new to this diagnosis, but my first NSAID was

Celebrex. I have had very good results and haven't noticed any

side effects unless my increase in GERD symptoms is linked. My

problem is that I have a variety of problems and don't know which

ones are linked. in KS

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has problems

with hotamil accounts. I've had that hotmail account

like for 3 years and it hasn't been a problem, but it

is- so I'll probablly use this one and the other

account that I have.

I suppose I could send these e-mails to my

parnet's e-mail account, but I don't think they want

to read extra mail, and plus they don't know that much

about autism and or ds.

Thank you, thank you Janet, I taped this broadcast when it originally aired

but the last half of it got taped over before I could watch it. I've been

trying since to catch a rerun. My VCR is poised and ready . . .

You are speaking of our own Jackie's son , who appears in this

broadcast.

As far as my evening, I went to the grocery store in the rain. Not too much

vicarious fun to go on there I'm afraid. :-)

Kathy, I can see a big difference in the way you look. Maybe its different for you because you are used to seeing yourself. I noticed a big difference in your back area and you look so much more healthier. Keep up the great work!!

Wow, Kathy-I can tell a major difference, so don't minimize such a great

achievement. You must be so motivated to continue with the challenge! Just

think, if you can do this in 47 days, the results will be great at the end of

the next six weeks. :-) Good luck!

Dear ,

I am very interested to know about the kind of Lab

test have you done in order to know his thrombophilia

problem, because my son have tested for Lp (a) and

come out with very high score and this is also an

indication that his blood is very thick and sticky.

Please keep us informed of what should be done with

your son condition.

tks & rgds,

We have been tested for this condition (via Dr Bradstreet/Kartiznel) and my

son and we are negative for thrombophylia.

I have heard that they feel maybe 40% of ASD kids have this issue. What

have you heard?

A Jeffs mom

Has anyone else's doctor tested for this condition?

At this time I believe it to be a bunch of hype, I maybe wrong maybe some of

those on the OBCE can correct this. However as I brought up last month

HIPAA is coming and apparently as I predicted or stated when the final

version goes into effect in Feb. 2003 it will cover all forms of patient

information not just electronic. At that time you will have to have a

written office policy (compliance plan) covering patient confidentially

including how patient information will be used for the purposes of billing

to insure that only that info that is required by the ins. company is what

you send out nothing more. And I believe this will have to posted so that

the public (patients) can read it. This is a federal program and as such

will probably carry some pretty hefty fines forcing compliance.

Again I maybe wrong on the need for one at this time but I haven't heard of

it if we do.

Take care

Steve,

You are right about HIPAA compliance, confidentiality of records, offoce

policies and so on. However, buying a " compliance plan " at this point is

probably not a good idea. For one thing, the HIPAA rules have just been

placed in an uncertain status by HHS. As part of the executive review by

Pres Bush there may be some delay in officially issuing rules, thereby

delaying the date of implementation and the need for compliance. It is a big

deal, and some form of federal regulation of health information is

inevitable. So stay tuned, shore up your office policies and procedures

about confidentiality and don't buy into anyone's canned-planned compliance

program.

Chuck

Raynaud's is triggered by cold, caffeine, stress, smoking, alcohol and some

drugs (that restrict or shrink blood vessels, such as sinus cold remedies

and allergy meds).

Also, don't forget, the sensors for cold that trigger this reaction to stop

the flow of blood to the extremities, is in the chest. If your back and

chest are cold you can't stop the reaction. No matter how big the mitts

are. Put on a heavy vest or layers of clothes to warm the chest. The hands

will follow suit. I also find a hat will warm you up too if you are in

extreme Raynaud's.

Also, if your hands or feet are purple or black (which is better than white

since there is a least some blood sitting in the vessels, apply external

heat to dilate the vessels and draw blood into them. A heating pad or hot

wax bath would do the trick.

If I am really bad I get into the tub.

Exercise will also heat the body and cause the circulation to put out into

the extremities.

Be careful or you will run into problems with ulcers and and tissue damage.

Do not underestimate the damage Raynaud's can do. If you see your hands

changing....what is going on inside the body??
