Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 My dear Viki: I understand you. It was very hard to go back to work after I became ill but I had to. Personally, I'm in retail, always on my feet except during breaks. At times the pain would become so overwhelming that I just wanted to sit and cry where I stood. My biggest fear is that customers will see how ill I am and I can't or won't allow that. I've learned to trust in my painkillers. There's no " high " anymore now that I'm used to it but the pain magically goes away for a little while or, if I'm really bad, it becomes more tollerable. When I was first diagnosed my son was 2 years old and my husband wasn't very understanding at all. Now my son is 14 and my husband has grown to be more patient and helpful. The point is you can accomplish anything, it just may take a little time. Now take a deep breath, blow it out and remember you're an amazing person! That goes for everyone else as well. Take care and be well. Ellen Palm City, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi Casey, My daughter also just turned 4 and finally got a diagnosis of pdd-nos and adhd. They believe she has aspergers (she meets the daignostic criteria), but they believe she is too young to diagnose with aspergers. So in the meantime they gave her the pdd dx. People have always though there was "something" about Jennah they couldn't quite put their finger on, but there was something "off" about her. Looking back at pictures, I noticed the biggest change (for the worst) happened around 2 years old. She started zoning out a lot more...she was staring off into space in almost every picture...she had "that look" more and more. She's always had sensory issues, but those got worse at around 3 years old. She holds her ears when there are lound noises, she loves silky objects, she can't have different foods touching on the plate (I think she has ocd too). Anyway, I won't bore you with the whole list of symptoms, but I wanted to let you know that speech therapy (she had huge articulation problems) has helped immensely. But the BIGGEST change has been starting her on Omegas (fish oils). When I tell you there was an IMMEDIATE difference, I mean immediate. THAT NIGHT, her pre-bath meltdown (always happened before her bath) was gone. As usual, I said "come on Jennah, time for bath"...fully expecting for her to ignore me and then finally after me telling her 5 times she would throw herself on the ground screaming "noooo!!!!! I don't want to!!!! I can't do ittttt!!!".....as I dragged her to the bathroom....then the screaming would usually continue through the entire bath. THIS NIGHT, however, she simply said "okay, mommy" and WALKED TO THE BATHROOM!!!! I was in TOTAL disbelief. I have to say that not everyone sees such a response, but I did. Her body was evidently in that much Omega deficit. (studies showed that autistic children had more of an omega deficit than most people and that caused some of the behaviors). Some people see results with B vitamins and magnesium, that made Jennah worse, so evidently she does not have a B vitamin deficiency. I highly recommend getting an IEP thorugh school, even if he is not in school, the school district can provide tharapies with an IEP. Also, if you can get a PT/OT evaluation (if he has those issues). There is always behavioral therapy (ABA is the most commonly accepted), there is also RDI (relationship development intervention), which makes more sense to me (by the little bit of research I have done), but it is not usually covered by insurance. BUT, I plan on doing some of the exercises with her myself. Okay, so I babbled enough. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer...as usual I am doing 15 things at the same time...so I probably left some things out...Elissa Check out my myspace http://www.myspace.com/elissamercado Chat in 3D http://imvu.com/catalog/web_invitation.php?userId=12957275 & from=power-email Introduction Hi. My name is Sara and I have a son who is almost 4. He is currently being assessed for Asperger's Syndrome...and will likely be officially diagnosed in the next few weeks. I really don't know any parents locally that have children with AS....especially in his age group. I am hoping to meet other parents that have been through this whole process. I'm curious how and if you told friends/family/ teachers .....and how it is best explained to others in general. I'd also like to know what kind of services you find to be the most (or least) helpful for your children. Thank you so much for your time.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Have you tried premedicating with benadryl prior to SCIG? We did this for many months.. Then would try not to give it. and the boys were finally able to do SCIG w/o benadryl. Every once in a while we need to give it to J. I have 3 boys, two of them have Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome. My oldest used to have problems with having sick brothers. He has gotten better as he has gotten older. Here is a link to our family website, if interested: www.shwachman.50megs.com <http://www.shwachman.50megs.com/> Peace of Christ be with you, Pattie Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Pattie, We use Benadryl and Motrin for Ben before his SCIG-- the swelling and redness was a little less this week (keeping it in the legs, but rotating sites). So, hopefully, over time it will get easier for him . . . I bookmarked your family website for him to view the pictures of your boys having SCIG since he's the only one of mine on it (the other two do IVIG). Thank you for sharing! <<Have you tried premedicating with benadryl prior to SCIG? We did this for many months.. Then would try not to give it. and the boys were finally able to do SCIG w/o benadryl.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Welcome, Kim! I'm learning, too. This is a wonderfully cordial and helpful group. I feel certain you will have a nice kombucha culture soon and then you can put all the information you've been gathering to making lots of happy KT brews. I'm so very sorry about your mother. It sounds to me that you were looking out for her in the most loving way. Your store sounds absolutely wonderful! There's not a Japanese store here in Memphis that I know of ... but Memphis is full of surprises. Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. Blessings to you! Lois (Midsouth USA) > > Hello Everyone, > I am new to this group and (sort of) to KT. I drink KT whenever I get to the health food store to buy it. But I would like to drink it more often. My daughter brought home a bottle of KT last year and I have been hooked on it ever since. I have been doing some research on how to brew my own KT, it gets expensive at $4 per bottle! So I found this list and I am learning a lot from all of you knowledgable people. Now I just need to find someone close by me (in Southern California) that has an extra mother to spare! > > I had heard about KT many years ago when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, but, I hadn't thought again about it until my daughter brought a bottle home. When my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, I researched alternative treatments because traditional medicine was failing her and the cancer was spreading. I found a book (can't recall the name at the moment, it was years ago) written by a nurse and it recommended KT and a raw foods diet. A neighbor of hers also brought her some KT to try. Well, she tasted it and didn't like it and wouldn't eat raw foods, so that was that and in a few months she died. I am convinced now that she could have saved her life had she changed her eating habits and drank KT. > > So now I am looking for healthier ways to live. Haven't got the exercise part down! Seems we're always too busy, and the garden has gone to heck! Anyway, when I decided I wanted to start brewing my own KT I have been researching the benefits and possible drawbacks of doing my own brew. During my research, I came across this report from the CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/MMWR/preview/mmwrhtml/00039742.htm and a few other small reports that could not be verified as accurate. Even the CDC report could not be proven as Kombucha making them sick because 115 people from the same town drank tea from the same mother strain and only 2 people got sick. Yet as I read and think about these few people that got sick, how many thousands or millions have benefitted from drinking KT. And then again I think, how many people have been harmed by " traditional medicines " cures. I look to the Asian diet; the healthiest and most long lived people on earth. They eat a lot of > fermented foods. My favorite store is the Japanese store 'Mitsuwa' in San Diego where they have a whole section (almost like a small store within the store) of pickles and naturally fermented foods. I only get down there once a month so it is a real treat! Of course the best alternative would be for me to make my own naturally fermented foods, but one thing at a time! I shall start with KT! > > Sorry this is so long, I have been lurking on this site for awhile and I guess I just had a lot to say!
