Jill,

What encouraging news! I bet Tanner was as delighted with himself as you all

were with him. How much Paxil does he take and how long did it take for the

side effects to get smoothed out?

See you soon!

easier for you and him........take care leah

Hi All,

This is not an endorsement for any medication, just thought I'd update you

on how life is going with Tanner. This is month two on Paxil. Tanner's

finger/hammer/toy flipping has almost stopped completely. He is making more

eye contact and communicating more with us. He is staying with the rest of

the family instead of hiding out in his room, although he still prefers to

watch videos in his room if given the choice. His teacher is noticing the

same changes at school. We went out to dinner last night with our family -

fourteen of us in a VERY LOUD restaurant. Tanner sat appropriately, ate his

dinner, didn't " stim out " , and here's the most amazing part: He walked to

the other end of our table - it was his own idea - said " hi Aunt " and

gave her a kiss. Continued around the table.... " Hi Aunt " and gave her

a kiss. Went back to his seat and continued with dinner. Our birthday

celebration mushroomed into a " Hooray for Tanner " festival! On a much more

personal note, I have not thought of medicating myself since Tanner has been

on Paxil!

OK, I guess it is an endorsement for medication...hahaha

Yey Tanner, I'm so excited for you Jill. What great news.

[Guest guest]

Jacqui,

Tanner takes 10 mg. Paxil once a day (we started on 5 mg once a day). The side

effects took a couple of weeks (not daily, thank goodness) to get smoothed out.

We give Tanner the Paxil in his new morning " cocktail " .....applesauce, Metamucil

and Paxil. The Metamucil didn't make much sense to me, since I thought it was

for the opposite *problem*, but it seems to have worked beautifully.

Hi Kathy H. and ,

How WONDERFUL to hear about Steve and Ziv's great school year start. I think it

makes all the difference of their success can steamroll from the beginning. I

hope that Kelsey can become as adept as Steve at taking personal responsibility

for her OCD some day. And I wish we all had teachers with OCD!

Take care,

in San Diego

thats wonderful!!! It sure is encouraging when you start seeing results right away, especially when youre not on the full program yet I did the program (kinda) for about a week and a half before finally making THE committment, and I saw results right away!

Blessings on your BFL Journey, and please keep in touch with this list, they are soooooo encouraging and helpful!!

~~

ps, my fibromyalgia and CF is really kicking me around today....the first time in awhile.....ugh!! I pray I can get thru the LBW today.... *grit my teeth and DO it!*

I posted a brief introduction about a month ago, and want to give an update. .............................................................................................

Thanks for all the information and support over the last few months.

[Guest guest]

Hi !

It's great to hear from you again, and to hear of such terrific

progress!

You mentioned that you have fibromyalgia. There is a terrific

success story that recently got posted online, about a woman

who attributes her triumph over fibromyalgia to her dedication to

BFL. Her before and after pictures, thoughts and tips are

available, as well as a RealAudio interview that you can listen to

on your computer. Her story is at BodyChangers - an

independent Web site not affiliated with any specific exercise

program or supplement company. Many of the success stories

there feature people who've made great transformations with

BFL. A number of this group's members, including our

moderator , Cheryl C. and others I'm probably failing to

mention (pardon my forgetfulness, champions!) have their

pictures and stories there, too.

Anyway, the link to the site is http://www.bodychangers.com - and

the direct link to the interview of Pierce, the woman who

used BFL to triumph over fibromyalgia, is

http://www.bodychangers.com/mpierce_inter.shtml

On that same page, you will find a link to 's e-mail address.

I'm betting that if, after listening to her interview, you have

questions for her, she would be able to provide you with some

expert advice.

Also, you've probably noticed people in the group recommend

Hussman's informative Web site, " Why the Body-for-LIFE

program works, " at http://www.hussman.com/eas In his Q & A

section, Hussman specifically addresses the issue of BFL and

fibromyalgia, so you may find his thoughts helpful, too. Here is

the direct link to his discussion of fibromyalgia:

http://www.hussman.com/eas/qanda.htm#fibromyalgia

I hope that together, these sites will provide helpful information

and inspiration! I know they have for me.

Congratulations on your progress, and best of fortune in making

more!

Energetically,

Hello Jerry, It sounds like your daughter has been making remarkable gains

in the past year. I was hoping to get some of your toilet training tips. My

daughter, Emmy, will be 4 in May & i would like to begin potty training but

i don't have the slightest clue as to where to begin. My daughter sounds

alittle like your daughter. We can now brush her teeth without too much of a

fight. She only uses words when she is really, really mad !! Any tips you

would like to share, I would welcome them !! May your daughter have alot

more progress. Thanks for sharing --
