Hi ,

My name is Serena.I am the mom of a 6 year old with OCD. Spencer

was diagnosed just before kindergarden, Because of his age finding medication

that helps even a little has been rough,right now he's on zoloft during the

day,

(we are going to attempt adding BuSpar) and Clonidine at bedtime to help him

sleep.

Spencer's OCD is checking heaters the more stressed he gets the worse his OCD

is. He also has Sensory Intergrative Dysfunction. I have to have his shirts

special

made and they have to button 1/2 way only I also have a small investment in

the sock factory :+) (they never feel right the second time around)

I thought I was about the only one with this nightmare. It is so

hard

watching your child go through the same thing everyday and no one to talk to

that

understands. I live in a small town. I never heard of OCD until I watched

20/20

my son was watching it with me and he said " mommy those kids are just like

me, Thats when I decided to have him eval..at least we have a name to go with

symptoms. Well take care. write again

Serena,

That is my daughter's name and she was named after my best friend. I do love

the name. We seem to have a similar situation. My son was diagnosed OCD at

the age of 4. He is now 5 and has been taking Luvox since April, as well as

Dexedrine. The doctor is stooping the Dexedrine and will start Clonodine. I

would love to hear how well it works for him. My son has not slept in months

and has had manic episodes related to the Luvox. Good luck and I would love

to hear from you.

HI Serena:

We also live in a small town, very isolated and rural and finding competent

help has been a challenge. Hats off to Spencer for recognizing OCD on the

20/20 show. My son and I watched this show together the first time it was

run and I had no idea he had OCD. Then a few months later I diagnosed him

and then later we watched a re-run of the 20/20 show and I asked him why he

had not told me about his OCD in response to the show when he first saw it.

It made me feel so useless that he couldn't confide in me, his mother.

He told me that he just thought if he practised his rituals more carefully

and often he could prevent himself from becoming like the girls on 20/20.

Sometimes he does stuff with his socks too, unravelling them, picking at

them and I just keep recycling the old socks and ask him to boss back his

urge to unpick them. Actually I like this compulsion more than his skin

picking, which luckily is in remission right now.

Does anyone on this list have experience titrating their child off

medication? At his request my son has been titrating off his Paxil since

October 1998. He is now on 20 mg and what we have noticed is that he is

more alert and less drugged. He is doing a lot of CBT and his symptoms are

there but not severely affecting his life as before. We are worried when

the depression might return.

Take care, thanks Louis for this list, aloha, Kathy

Hi Serena,

I laughed when I read the sock thing. I don't know how many

morning we were late to school because he had to line up the seem just

so along his toes. Of course when he put his shoes on this would mess

up the alinement and he would have to start again......Now I am very

careful about the brands I buy. They must have very soft seams!!

Jeff started BuSpar this past week and I think he seems a lot calmer.

Sleeping has never been a problem . He is a good sleeper. He is just

so anxious. The BuSpar seems to work. He takes Celexa also.

Today in PE he was angry with the PE teacher so he quietly banged

his head on the floor until class was over. He know has a LARGE bruse

on his forehead. I asked him why. He said he didn't want to yell out

loud or cause a scene so he got the " mad " out on the floor.

Soooooooooo........

He starts BT on Thursday!!

Take care and hope your week is going Smooth!

Hi ,

" 's Gift " is by . It is very

short and easy to read. She also has a website but I'm

not sure of the address. " Angel Behind The Rocking

Chair " is by Pam Vredevelt. Who is the author of " Life

As We Know It " ? What is it about? That title is

familiar. I think Sara might have it listed on Product

21. Also, has anyone read " Another Season " by Gene

Stallings? I've been debating about buying if for my

husband. My husband loves football so I think he can

really relate to a coach who has a son with DS.

Hi! I can heartily recommend " Another Season " . I'm

not a huge football fan but my husband is (as well as

a die-hard Aggie and Cowboy fan!). Gene Stallings

intersperses his football career with trying to raise

a child w/ds. My favorite part is when he was an

assistant coach w/Dallas Cowboys. He started bringing

ny with him to practice and he soon became a

favorite among the team. Well, they won the superbowl

that year and Coach Landry made sure ny got a

superbowl ring too! I think your husband will like

it. My in-laws gave us our copy and my father-in-law

says he has read it 3 time now! I've seen stories

about Gene and ny on " Dateline " and had the great

pleasure of hearing Gene give the Keynote speech at

the NDSC conference last year. It's a good story!

" 's Gift " web site is http://www.ericsgift.com

I read " Life As We Know It " and " Another Season. " They

are both what I call " man-books. " LOL... a lot of

facts. I really liked " Another Season " even though I

cannot stand football.

Cheers,

Sara

Dear ,

You didn't mention if your son is in therapy. I have learned that meds

alone don't do the trick. And often meds need to be changed and adjusted.

My daughter Molly also has contamination issues. The meds relaxed her

enough to start looking at them. But it is the therapy that is helping her

manage them.

Is your son seeing a psychiatrist for medication evaluation. Possibly he

needs and adjustment. But more then that he needs to be in therapy.

Please tell us more about your situation.

Regards,

Patti R.

Welcome to the list. I am Joyce and I am mother to three DS children ages

16, 6, and 2 years 9 months. Life is never dull around my house. I am glad

that I have a couple of married kids also who come around regularly and help

from time to time. I hope you enjoy the group here and that we can all be a

help to each other.

Hi Kay,

We are excited about our New Year's plans. My husband and I and some other

couples have an adventure planned, which involves rafting about 30 miles down

a river here in Oregon called the Rogue River--we are very experienced and

very prepared for cold weather rafting. We will then arrive at a wonderful

lodge, only accessible by river, hiking or flying in, which our group

reserved three years ago to honor this event. There are lots of fun

activities planned, such as costumes on New Year's eve to represent our

favorite decade--my husband will be a football player, complete with

injuries, wearing his old uniform, which is a bit tighter than it was, then.

I will be a pregnant cheerleader to represent our time in high school in the

70's. (I wasn't pregnant and I wasn't a cheerleader. He did play football,

but didn't get injured).

We will miss our children, but they will be in good hands with my Mother and

Sister.

Happy New Year to Everyone.

thanx everyone! It was a hell of 2 days! But mostly

because my son Denton is the trouble! My youngest

niece is 4 and a breeze compared to him! I think he is

hyper-active...he ran me ragged! The most dramatic

part was when her 2 boys got into a fight and were

pounding each other into the ground! (12 and 10) OMG!

I was freakin' ! Seems to be a common occurace there!

Well I am glad to be home and get back in the groove

of things...:)

Hi Michele,

I'm playing catch up so I wanted to welcome you

to the list. We chatted at the Multiples Club the

other night. I'm , Ashton and Landon's mom.

Glad you made it here too. You will meet a lot of neat

people and enjoy receiving lots of mail! I look

forward to hearing more about your family.

mom to Landon (ds) and Ashton 18

months

Thanks to everybody who took the time to answer me.

The can of Red Devil I used says 99% Sodium hydroxide, so I guess the 1% left is

the ugly blue colorant. I will try again when I find some pure lye. I guess I

don´t have the greatest recipes of the net either.Thanks again.
