Gena Welcome, My name is Cheryl, I have a 10 year old daughter, . She has OCD and Depression. She is taking 20mg. Prozac. When it comes to the school system, Don't give up!!! It may take a few months to get them to listen but if you keep after them, maybe they will. The pschologist at 's school is terrible, she talks to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders like they are babies, I have tried to talk to her but get no where, because doesn't have the handwashing thing either. Also her tendancies show mostly when she is at home! I have talked to her teacher and she was very schocked to find out what had, however when we got her on medication she saw a amazing change in her attitude. So of course now is ready to listen. She noticed doesn't have many friends and is trying to team her up with a few of her classmates. I have found that through persistence and sometimes annoyance , it does pay off. Make sure to start off this next school year with a conference to explain to the teacher about your son. It is easier to develope a good working relation with his teacher if you start fresh.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 1999 Report Share Posted June 8, 1999 Thanks for the tip. What do you do about helping your daughter to over come those feelings that she is crazy or that something is really wrong with her. We have tried to explain to Josh about OCD, but I think he is still concerned about being crazy. Our pediatrician, who is great, specializes in OCD and told Josh about some of his other patient's problems so that Josh wouldn't feel as though he is the only one with this condition. >>> Glenn Kathe <cmckim@...> 06/08/99 09:46AM >>> From: Glenn Kathe <cmckim@...> Gena wrote: > > From: " Gena " <ghg@...> > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ----------ONElist: bringing the world together. > > Join a new list today! > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > You may subscribe to the OCD-L by emailing > listserv@... . > In the body of your message write: > subscribe OCD-L your name. > The archives for the OCD and > Parenting List may be accessed > by going to the member center. > Enter your username and password, > then click on " list name " , then > click on " view archives " , and > then click on " archives index " . > You may then view archives by > date of entry.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 Hi All Newcomers, Just a short to say a warm welcome to all! I have been pretty tied down lately but I have seen a few newcomers and just wanted to say HI. Please do not give up when you start the BFL. Sometimes, results will not come quick. I should know coz after my C1W1, my weighting machine said that I did not loose any weight. Still 60kg. But I have heard and read that some ppl loose an average of 2kg after only 1 week of BFL. Another thing...Just ask if you gals have any Q. That's all for now. Take care, Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Welcome to the Group Caroline, You have found a wonderful group of people who are in the same boat. There is a wealth of information that each and every one of us can tell you, feel free to ask as many questions as you need too. I also have been ill since August 1, of last year, so I am coming up on one yr., and still no firm diagnosis, and that's mainly because I have yet to find a doctor who knows about Stills and the diagnosing of it. As the months pass by, I have found that after about 9 months I started to feel a little better each day, with minor and major set backs, but I bounce back more quickly then I did before. This is a wonderful blessing. I did the steroids for a while until I started to have liver problems. Right now I am not taking any medicines except for pain killers. I manage the fevers with old fashioned remedies, I rest when the pain gets real bad and the fatigue is keeping me down. As far as diet, well some do watch the diet carefully, others like myself try to eat sensibly with occasional chocolate fixes. Hope you get feeling better soon, welcome once again. Sincerely, Lorie in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hello Caroline and welcome. You are our second Caroline so we just might refer to you as Caroline # 2. ) We have a Sue #1 and a Sue #2 which makes it easier to distinguish between them. You sound like so many of us with all the doctors that could not diagnose and would order more and more testing. A dear friend finally forced me to fly to the Mayo Clinic and that is where a smart doctor earned his degree as far as I was concerned. What a relief to have a name for this illness. I find that Prednisone works the best for me but I have almost weaned myself off of it because of the damage it does to the body. I am taking Enbrel and MTX and that combination seems to be working fine for me. I think that we all take something different or different dosages. What works for one does not always work for the other. You will probably have to play around with different medications until you find one or two or three that will benefit you. Prednisone worked wonders for my joints. It is certainly the drug of my choice but it's just soooooooo bad for you. The fatigue is something else, isn't it? WOW.....!!! In one of my severe flares I'd get tired just going from the living room to the kitchen. I'd lose weight like crazy but that was because I just didn't feel like eating. I'm very pleased to meet you and now you can add your thoughts and feelings to these posts. Just out of curiosity, how did you find this site? You will be very happy joining this " family " . xxoo Michigan Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Welcome Caraline youve come to the right place im sure others have given u advice already,quite a little internet family we have here on Stillgans Island as we call it.Im not sure how long it usually takes for the pred to kick in but i kno i felt alot of releif almost immediatly like the next day i was started on 60mgs how much were u started on?Not sure but i beleif there is no difference between prednisone and prednisolone i think there basically the same drug.I was doin well and was able to cut my pred back to 5 mgs slowly mind u but then i had a flare up.Currently im doin really well agian and am on 9mg of pred and 20mgs of Methotextrate.I sure hope the pred kicks in for u soon and again welcome to the family eh. d. Canada Newcomer Hi. My name's Caroline, I am 36 years old, (5/3/67), and this week was diagnosed with AOSD after 10 months of illness and every test known to medicine, including a laparotomy in January this year. My problems began in September last year when I began to lose weight at an alarming rate - a pound a day - and suffered severe abdominal pain, made worse by eating. Blood tests came back 'inconclusive' as did endoscopies and every other 'oscopy' you can think of! Cancer of the pancreas was considered, as well as Pseudo Intestinal Obstruction and Lupus. Following an introduction to a wonderful Professor of Rheumatology in London, I went through yet another battery of tests and scans this last month, and have now been started on a reducing dose of Prednisolone over the next 6 weeks, in order to find an optimum dose to control my symptoms. My main problems are extreme fatigue, a spiking low grade fever and continued abdominal pain. I also have joint pain, particularly in my neck, hands, arms and legs. That's about it, in a nut shell. It has been the year from hell, but after reading some of the histories posted on this web site, I can see that so far I have got off lightly. I am married to a wonderful man, , who could not be more supportive, and we have three gorgeous children, Oliver (9), Saskia (7), and Casper (4). I am a full time mother at home. I would appreciate any advice you could give me, as a newcomer to Stills disease. For example, how quickly might I expect the steroids to kick in and what are the side effects like? Any advice on diet? I read somewhere that low sodium, high potassium was good. Should I be living on bananas?! Our summer holidays are about to begin and I shall be away for 2 weeks from the 25th July. After that, I look forward to getting to know some of you better. Many thanks. Caroline.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Welcome home Caroline ( and this group will feel like a second home very shortly). Sorry to hear you are now one of us, but you did come to the right place. As to your question on prednisone-I found that it started working in a mater of hours the first time they gave it to me. I was in the hospital and they had just diagnosed me (at age 54). It was given intervenously that evening and by the next day I could get out of bed and walk to the bathroom for the first time in a while. Take care of yourself. It sounds like you have good support at home and that is very important Ann K On LI NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 newcomer Also, is there somewhere you can purchase a chart that lists essential oils that blend well together that is more in line with professional perfume making (lots of info). .. Dawn Hi Dawn, Yes, there is such a chart. I bought one from Mandy Aftel at Aftelier Perfumes. I read her book, Essence and ALchemy,found her address and her. Her address is (or was) 1442A Walnut St., Berkley, Ca. 94709. I don't have a notation of her phone number but I'm sure she's listed as that's how I found her. It's a lovely chart that not only lists what might go well together but also some qualities of the oils ( i.e.sharp,dry, heavy, sweet, soft, etc). and the colors they are associated with. It's a lot of information for a newbie like myself so it is especailly nice to have it so organized. Hope you can get one and will enjoy it!

Anyone can make statements without merit or basis, than ask someone else to prove them wrong. It is a shame however, if it comes from a recognized body. Totally ludicrous to even believe the number 95% as coming from petrochemicals. " The report states that 95 percent of chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum. " and " They include benzene derivatives " is another ludicrous statement whose only purpose is to scare the naive. I guess it's like saying that people are made up of carbon and should be incinerated! In any event, knowledge of chemistry is needed to carry on this debate. I think that if YOU do the research, you can learn a lot. All I'm going to say, is that statement is wrong, based on ignorance and " pseudo " science. -= ß =- _______________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Here is the beginning of a thread from the IFF board...... http://finance.messages./bbs?.mm=FN & action=m & board=7079133 & tid=iff & sid=\ 7079133 & mid=2160 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ---------- air fresheners by: compounder121 06/02/04 07:58 pm Msg: 2160 of 2163 Air Fresheners Cause Cancer? When you use air fresheners in your home, especially the kind that plug into electrical outlets, you may be doing more harm than good. A study conducted by researchers with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency concludes that a potentially harmful smog can form inside homes through reactions between air fresheners and ozone. Those reactions generate formaldehyde, which has long been classified as a probable carcinogen, as well as related cancer compounds that many experts believe are responsible for respiratory illnesses, reports Nature News Service. Plug-in air fresheners emit fragrance molecules called pinene and limonene. That in and of itself is not harmful. But also in the air is the common urban pollutant ozone gas, which is produced at ground level when the emissions exhaust from our cars and trucks reacts with sunlight. The problem occurs with the chemical reaction between the fragrance molecules and the ozone gas. Specifically, the EPA study found that mixing the two created particles of formaldehyde-related compounds at a concentration of about 50 micrograms in each cubic meter of air, which is close to the EPA's outdoor particle limit. (A smoke-filled room has more than 100 micrograms of particles per cubic meter.) " If you open a window on a high-ozone day, you could trigger these reactions, " study leader Mark Mason, told Nature News. Mason is an environmental scientist at the EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory in North Carolina. Plug-in air fresheners are regulated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has reviewed the EPA study. Ken Giles, a public information officer with the agency, cautions that the study is only preliminary and based on research conducted in a room-sized test chamber and not a house. " But we do not think that 'freshening' air is a good way to deal with air pollution, " Giles told Nature News. What can be done? EPA study leader Mason thinks air freshener manufacturers should change their product formulas, using less reactive chemicals. The study findings were published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ---------- Now, does that seem true? Would you post it as " Gospel " on a WEB page? Maybe read the reply by " bubble_doctor02 " (PS, that's not me on the IFF SIG). . . I have no idea if this Mark Mason works at the EPA for " our " government, but thing are starting to fall into place. I'm concerned. I guess there is a lot of money to be made by " milking " the masses. -= ß =- _______________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Welcome "aboard" Bob! I'm sorry that you have our disease, but I'm glad that you've found us and are learning lots of info! Better late than never, eh?You'll find that in most cases your typical GI "specialist" knows next to nothing about achalasia symptoms or treatments, esp. the more recent research findings. You'll also find that lots of websites don't contain the "latest and greatest" info. The best way (in my personal opinion) to truly learn about this disease is to read EVERYTHING you can get your eyes on, be sure to check the DATE that the research was done, and also check to see how much other research the doctors have done on this subject. Info that is 20yo and was published by someone who never did another study on achalasia is going to be a lot less likely to be accurate than info that is 1yo and is the 15th study that this guy has had published. It's also very helpful to just pick a spot in time (say six months ago) and just start reading the posts (you can start at a specific month by clicking on the month/year of your choosing at the Message History part at the bottom of the home page: achalasia/ ). You'll see lots of stuff that sounds VERY familiar! Again, welcome to our "achalasia family". Debbi in Michigan Hi: Thanks for posting all this valuable information here. This is the best resource that I have found so far. I suppose my first post should include my story.... I have had some minor problems swallowing for as long as I remember. Probably so much so, that I never knew any different. I also had a bit of occasion upper back pain, which I attributed to my back injury. And a lot of coughing during the night which was never well explained by doctors. The problems became severe towards the end of 2003, when I was unable to get any food down for several weeks. Again, I was misdiagnosed. At some point, I started coughing up blood. I had a mallory weiss tear and lost about 4 pints of blood. They needed to scope me twice, since the first time, there was too much blood to see anything conclusively. After the first scope, the doctor still thought I had a hiatal hernia. The scoping that was done opened the LES a bit, and I was able to get liquids down. I had to make some quick choices, as I had dropped to an unhealthy weight. My local gastroenterologist told me that balloon dialation was unlikely to have success due to the enlargement and shape of the esophagus. So I opted for surgery at Brigham and Womens three weeks later. It was very successful and I can eat most foods and I can finally sleep through the night. There is a lot of valuable information here and I am still sorting through it. At the time of the diagnosis, I had to make some very quick decisions as the doctors said I would not live more than a month without dialation or surgery. The doctors left out a lot of detail, and often, I was not sure which questions to ask. I am not very well informed, so I hope that I can learn a lot.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Welcome, Bob! I'm so sorry to hear that you have achalasia. Also, the way things happened so quickly for you had to be tough! It sounds scarey to have to make quick decisions, without much information! I realize how lucky my husband is to have a condition that has come on gradually over the last few years, so that we can take the time to gather information before any urgent action has to be taken. His dysphagia seems to be progressing and he has lost over 60 lbs. since this started. I can't imagine what you were going though, with sudden severe weight loss, not to mention the bleeding!! We are going to Cleveland Clinic Aug. 2nd to get their opinion. Where are you from and where do you go for treatment? It may help others to know where you were treated, so that good or bad experience, they can learn who to see or not to see. Glad to hear that you are doing much better these days! from Michigan > > Hi: > > Thanks for posting all this valuable information here. This is the best resource that I have found so far.
