Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Unless there is something in the hall that he could have mistaken for what he said that he saw, I would call the doctor. Also, with Halloween coming he may be a little anxious and perhaps has heard about something or saw something on TV?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi Judy, Your post brought back a very old memory for me with my daughter when she was five ( that was over 10 yrs ago). When she would walk into our dark hallway she would claim to see spiders, colourful ones like in a video game. At the time I took her to see the optometrist and he dismissed it as floaters. She saw them a few other times as well over that year. I wonder if it is a sensory thing? My daughter also has an extremely heightened sense of smell as well. I'd definitely tell your therapist. Hope you get it figured out soon.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Could he have really seen something he could have thought was someone? How did he seem about it, scared, matter-of-factly? Sharon Here we go again Hi everyone, Anyone have any thoughts on this? My son,(5) who was doing fantastic on the abilify for 2 months, suddenly, today out of the blue came running upstairs and said, " Mommy, there is a man in the hallway dressed in black " Would this be considered a " bad thought " ? This had all gone away since he was on the abilify. hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Dear Ms. Cliff,In regards to your current Bulletin article of January 26, 2012 regarding low back pain. The State of Oregon under threat of health care costs imploding has come out with their back pain guidelines. Not mentioned anywhere in the article........ " For patients who do not improve with self-care options, clinicians should consider the addition of nonpharmacologic therapy with proven benefits—for acute low back pain, spinal manipulation " http://www.oregon.gov/OHA/OHPR/HSC/docs/GL/LBPFinal.pdf The practice of chiropractic is over 100 years old, is licensed in all 50 states and 30 countries in the world. It is the third largest healthcare profession after medicine and dentistry. There are 17 chiropractic colleges in North America. Medicare, Medicaid, Workers’ Compensation and most major health insurance plans cover it. Chiropractic programs consist of at least six years of college education. including anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, public health, physiology and pathology. Chiropractic clinical sciences (an internship with adjusting technique consists of 1,975 hours). Here we go again. For those of us who have been around low backs awhile (in my case 33 years), let us review. 1994 The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) was established in December 1989 to enhance the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of health care services and access to these services. The AHCPR panel was a 23 member multidisciplinary, private sector panel that included medical doctors (11), osteopaths (2) chiropractors (2), nurses, experts in spine research, a physical therapist, a psychologist, an occupational therapist and a consumer representative. In 1994 they published Acute Low Back Problems in Adults: Assessment and Treatment. The conclusions of the panel: · Relief of discomfort can be accomplished most safely with nonprescription medication (NSAID’s) and spinal manipulation. 1994 You might recall the headlines in the Chicago Sun-Times on December 8, 1994 and in other newspapers throughout the country shortly after the AHCPR guidelines were released, indicating that spinal manipulation was the preferred treatment for low back pain. " When it comes to low back pain, think twice before resorting to the usual remedies--bed rest, prescription drugs and surgery. Try a chiropractor instead... " Even the ls of Internal Medicine characterized the AHCPR conclusions about spinal manipulation as historic. Backlash and Politics 1996 AHCPR Published their last guideline The agency originally began as the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and was tasked with producing guidelines. However, it became controversial when it produced several guidelines which would reduce lucrative medical drugs and procedures. This included concern from ophthalmologists on a cataract guideline and concern by the pharmaceutical industry over a reduction in the use of new high-margin drugs. When the agency produced a guideline which concluded that back pain surgery was unnecessary and potentially harmful, a lobbying campaign aided by Congressmen whose backs had been operated on changed the name of the agency and " wound down " the guidelines program.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_for_Healthcare_Research_and_Quality 2005 Bend, Oregon has the second highest rate of back surgery in the United States. Bend Bulletin April 8, 2010 Source, 2005 Damouth Atlas of Healthcare 2007 Approximately 27,000 unintentional drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States, one death every 19 minutes. Prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem in the United States. The increase in unintentional drug overdose death rates in recent years has been driven by increased use of a class of prescription drugs called opioid analgesics. Since 2003, more overdose deaths have involved opioid analgesics than heroin and cocaine combined. In addition, for every unintentional overdose death related to an opioid analgesic, nine persons are admitted for substance abuse treatment, 35 visit emergency departments, 161 report drug abuse or dependence, and 461 report nonmedical uses of opioid analgesics. Implementing strategies that target those persons at greatest risk will require strong coordination and collaboration at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels, as well as engagement of parents, youth influencers, health-care professionals, and policy-makers. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6101a3.htm?s_cid=mm6101a3_e Chiropractic is and has always been THE conservative treatment.
