Guest guest Posted October 18, 1999 Report Share Posted October 18, 1999 Helen never used to chew her food either - everything just went down whole! She doesn't really chew very much now either, unless she's eating a particularly sticky sweet. I have just got some mouth exercises for her from our new Speech and Language Therapist. One of them involves putting dabs of jam or chocolate spread somewhere around the outside of her lips - she then tries to lick it off ... can't wait to try it!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi Eileen, That's great ! They can pay for it than!! I got mine done at a children's hospital, and I had to pay the entire amount out of pocket. UGH!!! The psychoeducational test will give you your child's IQ and let you know if there is any learning disability, executive dysfunction, etc, etc. The neuropsych my dd had involved the educational, occupational, social and emotional aspects. The main reason I had this done for my dd was the fact she was diagnosed with so many different disorders by different doctors. With the neuropsch, it was a team approach, and they were able to diagnose her fully.I also learned she had mild executive dysfunction.It was extremely helpful for me. Hope this helps Hugs' Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 thanks - I hate to put her thru 3-4 hours of testing when I just want OT for sensory but I guess if it's makes them pay and be more responsible I should do it- thanks so you don't think we need the nero aspect if it's OCD and sensory issues? eileen Q uoting jchabot <jchabot@...>: > Hi Eileen, > That's great !

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Eileen, It really depends on how much you feel your child needs. If you feel her diagnosis is correct, I would just go for the educational and occupational testing. It will save you time and frustration. Hope this helps Hugs Judy " autumn71A@...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Eileen, Thanks for responding! I will definitely be calling tomorrow morning. I know it's going to be a late night!!!! My daughter is so afraid she is going to have another panic attack, she already told me she can't sleep. She takes clonidine for sleep, but it's not working tonight. She's usually asleep by 8:30. It's 9:00 and she's totally wide awake. Hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Eileen, I don't know if she has PANDAS. She's not sick right now, but my son is, and I think with strep. I never tried the inositol or fish oil with my dd. That may be worth a shot also. I called the p-doc, and was told he would return my call this evening. UGHH!!!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 how frustrating - he can't take a few minutes out earlier??!!! I would go the natural route can't hurt - also weird that ds may have strep - I think it would only make OCD worse but maybe it increases panic attacks??? maYBE WORTH A THROAT CULTURE AND aso, dNASE TITER TESTs??? sorry about caps eileen Quoting jchabot <jchabot@...>: > Eileen, I don't know if she has PANDAS.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi Eileen, I'm bringing my son to the regular pediatrician tomorrow for a strep test, and if it is positive I'll make an appointment for my daughter. Her p-doc finally called at 6:30pm!!!!.He said he would raise her zoloft to 75mg. We'll have to see if that does anything.!! I have been curious about the titer tests for my dd. Does that show on a strep culture or separate bloodwork? Hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'd bring dd anyway -she may have it and not him and no symptoms is common from what I've read -you'll need to have the throat culture and then 2 blood tests (done from one vial) for the ASO and Dnase tests keep in mind you want the 24-48 hour culture not a quick one and my dd's have nver shown in the throat so definately ask for the blood - good luck - I hope things look up soon - and that maybe this strep thing or omegas may be just what she needs instead of messing with more meds eileen Quoting jchabot <jchabot@...>: > Hi Eileen, > I'm bringing my son to the regular pediatrician tomorrow for a strep > test, and if it is positive I'll make an appointment for my daughter. > Her p-doc finally called at 6:30pm!!!!.He said he would raise her > zoloft to 75mg.
