Hello Carolyn,

Welcome to the list.

What sort of help would you like? I know that question might sound

dumb---- but it would help in knowing what to tell you to know

what sort of things you want to know. There is an awful lot of

possible information to say otherwise.....

In general Andy's book and the FAQ for this list are good places

to start. The FAQ is at:

/files/Mercury-Autism%20FAQ

(be sure you get the whole line--- it sometimes gets chopped.)

Hi Moria!

Thank you for your reply! : ) I've just finished reading the faq, and

am going to order Dr. Andy's book today.

How long have you been doing chelation? Do you do any other

interventions as well?

I'm just curious to find out what kind of progress people have

been getting from this treatment.

thanks,

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

First I will break the news that I don't have any children

(autistic or otherwise)--- so I cannot report on chelation

from that angle. Sorry! Hopefully a number of our buddies

here will answer your question about how things are going.

There are definately other interventions in use as well!

I'm doing chelation on myself. My last amalgam filling was

replaced on 11/30/2000. I started using ALA only on 12/31/2000.

I have only done 5 " rounds " so far--- I basically did chelation

during January 2001, then in early Feb I got some sort of

flu and have never completely recovered. (I realize that may

sound really bizarre-----) (My joke is that my " chelation

cycle " is 1 month on, 2 months off.) (That is a joke: I

was doing 3/4 and 3/11 cycles!)

To get a little bit of idea of how some of the kids of list

members are doing, go to

/

and click on files and then look for a file called something

like " chelation survey " . (Sorry I can't get you the URL

right now...) It should give you some sense of what people

are seeing.

best,

Moria

Good for you mom!!! Keep up the repositioning and that may be all

she needs! If I can help with anything, just ask. Oh, by the way,

congratulations on the new baby!

Hi & welcome to our group!

Glad you have finally introduced yourself & and have been

lurking long enough to get some useful plagio information!

I am so happy to read that you have noticed improvement with

repositioning. Since you have in fact seen improvment, the odds of

having craniosynostosis are quite minimal, so that's great

news! Many of our plagio babies, mine included, are referred for a

CTscan or Xrays to rule out cranio just to be 100% safe.

What a shame to hear of yet another plagio uneducated pediatrician :

( I am so tired of reading stories like yours time & time again.

But the important thing here is that you took it upon yourself to get

the attention she needs & deserves. GREAT job mom! you

should be very proud of your persistence and following your gut

instinct.

Please let us know how her scan goes next week Monday. In the mean

time, keep up your great repositioning efforts!

Welcome to the group! It seems to me, after reading the posts, that

most people get that same response when they see the doctor for the

first time after noticing the flat spot. I know I did and I felt so

helpless. The doctor going on about " purely cosmetic " and " the hair

will cover it " ..... It's been 2 months and 3 doctors later and I'm

still fighting. My husband wonders if maybe insurance companies are

providing doctors with " monetary incentives " when they avoid

recommending correctional devises. I thought that was a bit extreme

at first, but now I am starting to wonder.

Hi , and welcome to the group! Your story sounds,

unfortunately, all too familiar. Too many of us parents have had our

concerns brushed off by a ped. Good for you for listening to your

mommy instincts and taking to see a specialist. Be sure to

let us know the results of her scans, and best of luck to you!

Happy New Year!

Hi and welcome.

It sounds like you have done everything right - you're a good

mom. I'm sorry to hear about how casually your ped treated the

condition. I think your story is exactly why babies with flattened

heads should be referred to a specialist. Ruling out cranio is

very important. I'm glad to hear that they could get you in for the

scan so early. Since you have seen some improvement with

repositioning maybe it won't end up being cranio. In most cranio

cases the head shape does not improve with repo or bands and

almost always requires surgery. I'm not surprised at your ped's

reaction when you asked her what she would do if it were her

child. She is probably feeling a little guilty for treating you so

casually when, as it turns out, your baby might have cranio. I'm

glad you are looking for a new ped! Please let us know how the

scan goes and what the results are.

Why are you only interested in what *mothers* have to say? What about

fathers? What about people who actually have BPEI (apart from your lucky

boyfriend)? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you really

didn't mean to be so blatantly sexist, and are really implicitly asking

for other mothers' perspectives on what it's like to bear children with

(or potentially with) BPEI. Is that right? (I'm guessing a bit because

you didn't actually ask that explicitly in your post.)

Ah! A bite! Reel 'er in!

No need to shout. Problem with your caps lock key perhaps?

No, I'm not particularly serious. Call it a combination of pre-Christmas

tension and the straw that broke the camel's back.

Can anyone spot the knee-jerk? If you bother to read my post (should I

have typed in it all in capitals for you?) you'll see that I said I

assume the author DIDN'T mean to be sexist. If you further bother to

read the original post you'll see there are no questions asked that

relate to being a BPEI-enhanced person's mother, only about BPEI in

general, but responses only from mothers please. I'm still confused by

that and was just trying to clarify things.

Bye. I'll be outside sweltering in the garden. Call out if you need your

caps lock key fixed (I have just the right mallet), or a debate on

gender politics.

Hopefully - people understand what Rob's trying to say here. I would just like to add that I really appreciate Rob 's many previous posts to this group. They are very informative and full of helpful advice.

I met Rob a few years ago when he was on a business trip to England, and it was a great pleasure to finally get to meet up with him in person, and spend some time together.

We are just a few days apart in age, as is another of our friends. I jokingly thought that a space ship flew by about 43 years ago and zapped us when were growing in wombs

I have met 3 families where the father and child both have BPEI (BPES) . It is sometimes easy to overlook a father's role in parenting, and as Rob says, the way that post was written was most likely unintentional.

I hope you all have a happy new year. And, whatever you do, don't stop writing to this group and keeping us up-to-date.

Hello Parents

I have been reading this segment of emails> To all parties involved.Please note.

THIS CLEARLY APPEARS TO BE a manifestation of STRESS concerning all parties involved.

I have a suggestion and a gental reminder for what its worth. Stress is NOT a healthy zone for you to allow in your life.It is not a good thing for you and can manifest itself in many formats if not recognized and allowed to continue.

We are all here to support one another in whatever capasity we can offer.... after all to a great extent we are ALL IN THE SAME BOAT. Step back recognize the event for what it truley is and MOVE FORWARD........theres many arenas withen BPES that cause stress. This is my opinion only.

TAKE CARE and LOVE to you............... son (a BPES survivor age 48)

Hi, !

It did, thanks. It went a lot better than I expected. Andy only got

fussy at the end but he was an angel when they put the stockinette

thingies on. They did two -- one for the front part of the cast and

one for the back. It was so cute, they cut out a whole hole for his

face so he looked kind of like a little nun. Our orthotist is very

nice and seems to know what he is doing. As you might have seen in my

earlier post, we went with the local provider, but the helmet looks

just like others I've seen, even better than I was expecting. Now we

are just hoping for the best. And I'm working on decorating ideas!

I read your post. Great news about the corrected age too. Sleep well

tonight. I know you're all glad to have that behind you. I've been

trying to post pictures of my son in his blue helmet but can't get

the darn thing to work. I hear it's temperamental.

Is this Yanke Bionics you are speaking of? Are you in NE Ohio?

Hi, .

Yes, it is Yanke Bionics. We are indeed in NE Ohio. We are just getting

started and went to the Akron office today for casting but I know there

is also one in Canton and in a few other places. Do you have any

experience with them?
