My elder son had everything and went from near genius status to a non

verbal frustrated wreck. My younger son had thimerosal in half his

vaccs and no MMR. He is eccentric but has friends, can read and draw

and is thriving. Who knows what pulled the trigger with TOm but we're

not risking MMR with his brother. He'll have single vaccines in the

next year or so, well spaced and when he's in optimum health. For

what it's worth. I will never never again trust " herd " instinct. I

believe in the vaccination programme but if I knew then what I know

now, I would have gone about the whole thing very very differently

Nasreen - Tom does not have fragile x chromosome, generally this has

a distinct physical look - big ears, pixie like features and an

unusual head shape. Autism is not simply chromosomes, we know

that's not the sole reason and can't be, although chromosomes, in my

cloudy memory, can make a child more " male " which might exacerbate

autism. But not create it.

We haven't applied yet...so don't know.

Question

Anyone who is in the Gammassist program:

How long was it before they contacted you? When I filled out the forms

for both boys the first SCIG infusion the site said they would contact

me in a

few days. That was on the 9th. I have yet to hear from them.

Just thought I'd ask...

Pattie --

Are you committed to the mini-med set?

If you don't mind trying a very low tech set (where you place the needle

yourself and don't have the flexible " string " that stays in them), there are so

many other options. It just depends if you want to keep working with what you

have, and possibly face the same thing again, or if you want to try something

new.

I have heard that, for some kids, the mini-med can cause more trauma (though

minimal) than a low-tech needle because it is slightly larger than just using a

6mm needle solo, for example. My husband took one look at the mini-med needle

and got nauseated -- so we tried a different set. Of course, we had several

failures before we could find one that worked with my child. Every child is

just so different. There is no " one size fits all " .

A question for you SCIGers-- we have the boys infusions running now.

ph has never had a problem getting everything started-he's got lots of

fat. He's not fat-he's just solid and has something to work with.

OTOH is Scrawny y---- not much fat. The first 4 SCIGs went great

other than one site leaking.. Last week, the first injection on seemed

fine-when I checked the return, there was no blood. Took the needle out

(catheter still in place) and blood started backing up in the line. So I

closed the line off and put a new mini med set on, flushed the line and got

him going no problem. The NuFactor nurse had already told us what to do

it if happened.. So I knew that-but I remember her saying that it rarely

happened, so not to worry.

Well... tonight I got ph going and started on . The first mini med

set? The sticky on the butterfly came completely off-and because we had

leaking with his 3rd infusion, I wanted it to stick to be sure there was

less chance of the catheter coming out and/or kinking. so I got the second

mini-med set out. injected, pulled back to check the return. no blood.

Pulled the needle out and blood came back up in the line. So, I removed it

and changed it out- everything is fine now-but I wonder if I am not picking

sites correctly?

I can pinch more than an inch!!! And I make sure I have the area pinched

up with enough to inject---- Does this just happen or am I doing something

wrong? This has never happened with ph so I am wondering if 1) it is

because is so skinny (see our family website for pictures) or 2) if

is just more vascular or 3) a combination of both-maybe he is more

vascular because he has less fat?????

Any tips would be appreciated. This is the second week in a row we've

dipped into our ER kit :-)

Pattie,

Don't know what to say....what sites are you using???? I used the flank

area on both sides tonight...need to update our infusion log, cuz am

having a hard time remembering.....

I think the issue is more than likely his size.....IE less fat

Kim said that is a good area and it has worked for ...we have more

fat now...so it is getting easier....

Let me know.

They showed us one (and we actually have two of them-where the needle stays

in) and there is no putting it together-let me go see what the name of it

is.. It is Connect iV Sub-260 from Medical-so the set? Is

this what you use? I could place the needle--- could you tell me more

Here is a pretty good explanation of CBT - I hope it helps.

LT

Just what is CBT? How does it work?

Cognitive Behavior Therapy combines two very effective kinds of psychotherapy

— cognitive therapy and behavior therapy.

Behavior therapy helps you weaken the connections between troublesome

situations and your habitual reactions to them. Reactions such as fear,

depression

or rage, and self-defeating or self-damaging behavior. It also teaches you

how to calm your mind and body, so you can feel better, think more clearly, and

make better decisions.

Cognitive therapy teaches you how certain thinking patterns are causing your

symptoms — by giving you a distorted picture of what's going on in your

life, and making you feel anxious, depressed or angry for no good reason, or

provoking you into ill-chosen actions.

When combined into CBT, behavior therapy and cognitive therapy provide you

with very powerful tools for stopping your symptoms and getting your life on a

more satisfying track.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

It's Cognitive Behavior Therapy which is explained

really well in all the books about OCD. My son's

therapist's 1st book choice for us was 'Freeing Your

Child From Obsessive Compulsive Disorder' by Tamar

Chansky. I had to read it twice cuz I was in shock

during the first reading I think. There are tons of

other good ones and the libraries even have quite a

few of them.

Part of CBT is ERP which is 'Exposure Response

Prevention' and is the " behavior " part of CBT. The

OCDer exposes himself to his fears (the easiest ones

first) and refrains from doing the compulsion/ritual

(whether it's physical or mental). This adjustment in

behavior actually physically changes the brain and it

gets better for the long run. Medication is sometimes

used to bring the anxiety level down so that CBT can

be done.

There seems to be no doubt that CBT is the best way to

treat OCD. Not all therapists know how to do it,

however. Lots of help on this site on these subjects.

CBT stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The OCD Foundation

Neurofeedback (also referred to as EEG

biofeedback) is a well studied treatment approach for some issues such as ADD

and seizure disorders. It has also been used to treat migraines, sleep

disorders, anxiety, and depression. I’m sure there are many other

issues that can be helped. EEGSpectrum.com has lots of good information

about it and I’ve included a recent article that I just saw this

morning.

Clinic Reports Dramatic Results Treating Autism, ADD

Without Drugs

3/21/2006 7:00:00 AM

National Desk, Health Reporter

Contact:

A. of Busystreet Media, 404-876-4570, 404-245-8080

LOS

ANGELES, March 21 /U.S.

Newswire/ -- She was a mother without hope. Diagnosed with autism, her six year

old son, EJ, bit other children, threw tantrums and chairs. " He had no

future, " says Beatrice Tan, whose family stopped going to church because

it was too risky to put EJ in the nursery.

Now,

after several months of specialized, neurofeedback therapy at Drake Institute

of Behavioral Medicine -- http://www.drakeinstitute.com

-- in Los Angeles,

EJ no longer bites: he hugs. He has friends, and " we have hope, " says

Beatrice, now back in church with EJ and husband, Ronnie.

" We

see autistic children coming out of their social comas, it's huge, " says

Dr. F. Velkoff, Drake's medical director, " and children with ADHD

making big learning breakthroughs " -- all without the kinds of drugs often

prescribed to control out of control kids, like Ritalin, and recently called

risky by the FDA.

" In

the long run, these drugs have not been proven to be safe; they're quick fixes

that short-change children, " says Dr. Velkoff, a long-time critic of

recklessly prescribing drugs like Ritalin and Adderal for learning disorders

like ADD. " These drugs should be used cautiously, and only prescribed for

children for a limited period of time, and as a last resort. " Of course,

there are extreme cases requiring medication, " he adds, " but at

Drake, our goal is to eliminate the drugs wherever possible, and use our

advanced neuro-feedback to help children close their developmental gaps. "

A

physician with a master's degree in psychology, Dr. Velkoff reports dramatic

results for most of the 100 autistic children like EJ that Drake's four clinics

have been treating over the last year. " We're excited whenever we can help

jump start a child's life without drugs, " he says.

Instead,

Drake uses advanced biofeedback technology it first developed to treat learning

disorders like ADD and ADHD, then modified for autism. Over the last 25 years,

Drake has treated more than 5,000 children for attention deficit disorders

without drugs, he says, then last year began focusing on children also

diagnosed with high-functioning Autism or Asperger Syndrome. In treating their

ADD, Drake staff found their autism symptoms dramatically improved as well.

" Like

a lot of accidental advances in medicine, we stumbled onto it, but it's

working, " he says of Drake's medical mystery. " We think it helps

these children rewire brain synapses, so life starts to make sense. "

To make

sense of their surprising progress, Drake cranked up an initial clinical study

of 18 patients, all children with autism disorders and poor social skills.

After 20-40 neurofeedback sessions, parents reported children were not only

responding to peers, but showed a new awareness to the feelings of others, says

Dr. Velkoff, whose clinic is planning a joint study with the world-reknowned

University of California at Irvine Child Development Center to further document

and understand " how and why it's working-and what works best. "

" EJ

used to ask, 'Mommy, why don't I have friends?' " says Beatrice Tan in a

videotaped interview on Drake's website, www.drakeinstitute.com. " I'd say,

'You have to be nicer, talk to them, don't take their toys, share!' It's no

longer a problem. "

" Unfortunately,

we can't help every child with autism, but we've seen big improvements in three

out of four children we treat, " says Dr. Velkoff. " Parents tell us

they keep getting better even after treatment ends. We hear, 'it's a different

child' all the time.' Their lives begin to blossom. "

Not always , ultrasound is a way to find problems with the arteries going into the liver and also bile duct problems . Ultrasound can also pick up fatty liver and some hepatacellular carcinomas . The most accurate way of detecting damage is still the biopsy .

I had my ultrasound the other day. They looked at my liver, pancreas and gall bladder. The radiologist said that everything looks just fine and there are no visible problems. But he said it's like seeing a beautiful car parked on the street - he said it looks good, but may not run.

But at least there are no visible problems with the form of the organs - so that's a start. Now I'll get the results from the other tests when I got back to the hepatologist.
