Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 Hi , Welcome to this list. It is good to meet you and know a little bit about why you are on the list. Like Jeff, my son also gets stuck because at present his symptoms are almost totally obsessive, very few visible symptoms. My son, Louis, also had a very bad time with Prozac. He is now doing well on Zoloft and Buspar. Perhaps some of the other parents may have a child with Tourettes. I believe that many of our children are effected by various spectrum disorders associated with OCD. Once the list is linked to the new web site being created by OCSDA we will have doctors on the list and I think that will benefit all of us. My son suffers from social phobia as well as OCD. Take care and keep us posted on how Jeff is doing on the Celexa. Louis ocdnet@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 Hi , My name is Lesli and I have a five-year-old daughter with OCD. Like you described, her symptoms tend to morph from one thing into another. She also is very particular about the texture of her clothes, and that is now being modified by peer pressure. So it seems like her wardrobe is growing smaller and smaller. For 3 years she would wear only dresses. Then someone at kindergarten teased her about her underwear showing. Now she will wear only pants. She has five pairs but will wear only three of them for reasons I have not yet decoded. She takes Prozac and has been on it for four months. At first it made her quite hyperactive but now she (and/or we) is adjusting and that side effect is decreasing. Good luck to you with your son's meds. Hang in there, Lesli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 HI Kathy and everyone, Kathy, you are lucky to have found medication and treatment for your daughter so quickly. When my daughter (now five-and-a-half) started Prozac a few months ago she was soooo hard to live with, we thought we were trading one set of problems for another. She was so hyper that she was climbing up on the dining room table during dinner! She was so impulsive that she had to do everything she laid eyes on. One day she got into a rage on the way to the library, and before I could stop her, she had run up to the doors of the public library and yelled, " Stupid damn it, " into the building. She thought this was hilarious. But the drug helped the OCD so much that we stuck with it. The behavioral side effects are very minimal now (it's been a little over four months.) She was also very, very angry for a while and still is sometimes. We also had the feeling that she was so angry at her father and me. But that phase passed for us and I hope it will for you, too. I have found that disengaging myself from her anger works wonders - I force my self to be unnaturally calm and walk away. I'm so relieved to talk with all of you and to have found this list. Take care, Lesli > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 1999 Report Share Posted February 3, 1999 I feel for you Kathy. Three of my five children have OCD. , age 6, has it the worst. At age three it began suddenly. One night she wouldn't lie down in her bed because when she did, it would wrinkle. She must have gotten in and out of bed over 100 time a night for several weeks. Then all of the sudden the wrinkles didn't matter, instead, she had to line her dolls up in a straight row on her pillow. Of course when she laid down, they became unorganized and she was up again. After about three months of this, and having exhausted all our options, we took her to a child psychiatrist. She was put on liquid Prozac. It seemed to help a little. The night time rituals stopped. Then a few months later she became obsessed with death and dying. This was horrible. I don't even want to talk about that. But after she learned how to swallow pills, the doctor put her on Paxil. It seems to be working. (Thank you Lord.) So don't lose faith. There is help out there. I will pray for you.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 1999 Report Share Posted February 3, 1999 Hi Kathy, My son also refused " the talking Dr " at first it wasn't until his reg. ped. talked to him about he should at least give it a try( he also was 5 ). Finding the right meds. at the right dose also helped. Spencer is now 6 and I never thought I would see the day he was actually happy and relaxed. Lately the more we learn together the better he feels. We still have ups and downs but we are hanging in there. He is learning to manage his anger which is a huge step. It does get easier (sometimes :+) Take care, Serena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 in PA, I too have multiple ocd'ers. My son, 2 daughters and husband have ocd and depression. The girls are complete opposites in personality. Adi, 13, is articulate, loves competition, a real teenager. My 10yo, Ziv is anxious, quiet, non-competitive,... my son is another story all together. He is loud, controlling, stubborn, ... We diagnosed him first and he has been in and out of various places from the hospital to living in a group home. The girls were diagnosed 6 months after him. My husband was the last, do to his denial. Dont get angry at yourself for not noticing T., kids have a way of rotating who needs the most attention. Around here their father takes a turn too!!! Most importantly, take care of #1 - yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 1999 Report Share Posted September 24, 1999 Hey Beth in IN Just over the summer we switched to a new Dr. at Children's Hosp. in Phil. and she started treating with Depakote for mood. Our previous dr. wanted to treat her with Resperiol Although, no one has diagnosed her with Bipolar - they just said " mood disorder " . Her SI issues are a hundred times better. I'd say up till she was almost 5 years old, she couldn't brush her teeth, brush her hair (she would scream if you walked towards her with a brush), couldn't put any lotions on her body etc. Now, she brushes her hair with no problem (which is great - cause it is so pretty) and will only brush her teeth with a tiny weenie bit toothpaste and maybe once around her mouth. Some of these could of been OC - who knows. There's always more, I think, than OC with our kids. I definitely feel that depression and anxiety play such a role in the waxing and waning. is getting help and is doing real good. And we are very lucky to have a great therapist. I have a feeling we'll probably just journey through life with her!!!! Thanks - in PA Re: Hi Everyone Hi , when you said had mood issues is this from OCD or something else?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2000 Report Share Posted May 27, 2000 I am so sorry for all the problems you are going thru. I hope everything straightens up (or should I say dry up). Twins how neat, my first born were twins. My son was killed when he was 4 but my daughter is now 23 and has given me a lovely granddaughter. I always thought twins were so neat, they are much easier to take care of then a single birth (I had 3 of them). take care of yourself, your staying healthy and keeping those babies healthy are the most important thing.

Finally, things are beginning to become a bit more normal but I really have fallen out of the loop. I had 1735 e-mails when I got back online and decided the best way to catch up, would be to delete the entire lot and just jump right back in. So hi everyone, hope everyone is doing fine. I'm starting a new challenge today having fallen out of the loop by way of falling into the habit of eating out every night!! Our new home had a gross oven from hell and I couldn't bear to put food into it. One meal out led to another and so on and so on. Had a great time, picked up a few pounds and a few inches but the bod is really complaining and it's just great to be back!! Had my first workout in a while this morning ow ow ow ow! So looking foward to catching up with everyone and seeing how your'e doing. Lean (formerly known as Much Leaner!) PS. Are there new rules about photos - should they be taken excluding the feet?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 Hi a, Thanks for the welcome back! It was great to see messages from so many BFLifers. Sorry for the confusion about my move - a lot of people think I moved back to South Africa but no, I'm still in California. I'm returning to SA for a vacation in October and wanted to fit in another challenge before I went, but due to my carousing ways, that's out of the question now! Anyway, how are you doing? Are you currently on another challenge? Good to hear from you, Leaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 Hiya Taz, Yay good to hear from you. Talk about having to ease back into things...this morning saw me flat on my belly doing those push up thingies to strengthen my aching back again - just like at the beginning of the last challenge. Guess that's what happens when the stomach muscles are allowed to lol slothfully around for a few weeks!! Is my memory serving me correctly...did you have a presentation to make a while ago? I know the Sarge did and I heard his went very well - but weren't you doing one too? Sure would have loved to have heard it - you are so inspirational. I'm so glad you are still around! Leaner.

I am so happy for you and your little angels that Leigh is getting better. The memories can take a very long time to go away.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Hello Everyone, CONGRATS Carolyn (Mummy) and (Mommy) and welcome to the world Teddy! I think that's a great name too. We are all maintaining... These kids are acting like typical 2 1/2 year olds! Being naughty and testing us! AUGH!! LOL AUGH! LOL! If I didn't laugh, I'd cry!!!!!! Vinnie has the runny nose again, it clears up for about a week and comes back the next. He's been missing more school. He went to the Dermatologist last Saturday and was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata (bald spots) http://www.alopeciaareata.com/whatknow.html#1 I kinda knew that's what it was. Kei and I are not too worried about it, if his hair grows back that would be wonderful and if it doesn't then that's OK too. That's just another obstacle we have to hurdle. (like he hasn't had enough hurdles and more to come) My philosophy has always been " It could always be worse. " Vinnie is getting his Thyroid check this Saturday. Sloan went to the ENT and has major fluid behind her ear drums. She is taking an antihistamine till she goes back to the Dr. on the 6th of December. She might end up getting tubes put in. She has been babbling more and has maybe 5 new words ( hey, blue, Daddy/instead of Dada, Bubby/instead of Bubba and Mommy/instead of Mama) So Carolyn and Patty I kinda know how you feel about being called 'Mommy " Vinnie used to say " Moma " but he doesn't anymore and WILL not sign it, as much as I'm after him with he says " Dada " (which is all the time) I say and sign " Moma " and he says " Dada " LOL Oh, and a brag! Vinnie put 3 signs together " more,please,apple " Hope everyone is good and feeling well. ~,Mommy to (DS) & Sloan {2 1/2 years} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
