[Guest guest]

Hi Timary! Glad to hear you're making the trip. It was the best thing we've

ever done for our children. Also, glad to have someone else from MS involved in

the protocol! :-) BTW, plans are in the works for Dr. Goldberg to speak in

Tupelo MS on April 19th at the Tupelo Civic Auditorium. I don't have an exact

time yet, but will post it when I do. Maybe your dr. could come? Maybe you

could come? Take care and God bless. Shona

's soft spot was closed when she was banded. She has gotten

some really great correction. It was super tiny when we started and

was closed very soon after. I'd say stick it out, the only thing you

have to gain is more correction! Good luck making your decision and

please let us know what you decide.

band until 18 mths to get as much correction as possible. I am trying

to figure out if we should leave Lucas in his or pull him out when

his soft spot closes. Bill said that would be in 1 - 2 months. Bill

said that many kids don't get a lot of correction after the soft spot

closes because not as many growth spurts. I am leaning towards

leaving him in the band just not all the way till he is 18 months

though. He has gotten some correction but not a lot. Thanks for any

input

I'm really not sure about this but I am curious myself as 's soft

spot is about the size of a 1/2 dollar still and it is sort of in the

shape of a cross. It goes down to almost between her eyes. If this

is the case, hell, she could be in a band until she is 5 or 6. Oh

my....

Hi Jess! I don't know a lot about MC either, but my two youngest children have

it right now. My 4 year old daughter (NT) picked it up at daycare (I think) last

year and still has it. We had them burned off, but more cropped up which they

told us might happen. Hers have been mainly on her trunk and arms. She has now

passed it on to her younger brother (3.3 years old, PDD/NOS -- ). I still

bathe them together and have been told that this is probably how they passed

from one to the other. He has had MC for about five months now. Dr. G knows but

doesn't seem too concerned. My son's are also on his trunk. I was told by my

family doctor that it is a pretty common childhood virus. Not sure if that

helps, but thought I'd throw it in anyway.

I've been meaning to ask this for awhile. Have any of your children

had molluscum contagiosum (MC)? (a skin virus that appears as a

cluster of papules that usually appear red at first (like a rash)

then turn waxy and shiny looking). I try not to read into things,

but my daughter (4) developed this on her forehead at approximately

7 mos. I was told it would go away on its own in anywhere from 2 to

18 mos. It took a little longer than 18 months. At the time, I

didn't think much of it. When she started showing signs of a delay

and I went through her history in my head, this is one of the things

that always stood out because while I was told it was common, I've

never met anyone else who had it or knew what it was when she had

it.

I've researched it and found that it is viral, considered a pox-

infection, most common in children. I've read that it is very common

in people with HIV which I found very interesting since is a

similar problem. It also said that it takes longer to go away for

people with compromised immune systems. (Of course, at that time, I

had no idea what the future held.) I've found mentions of HHV-6 in

medical reports about MC, but they were true medical reports and I

didn't understand well enough to make out the connection between the

two. If anyone has access to medical resources and would be willing

to look into this I would be very interested and appreciative. It

seems like such a harmless little virus and it may very well be, but

I've always had it in the back of my head. Since finding , I've

seen that even the most harmless seeming thing can be involved in

our situations. I'm hoping that someone will have some information

on this and am very interested to know if any of your children or

yourselves had this.

Thanks,

Jess

My 13 year old daughter has this right now, and went to a

dermatologist for treatment last week. Many girls on her cheer

squad have gotten it. She has it mostly on her legs.

I asked Dr G in a phone consult last week if he were concerned about

this with my son (age 4) but he said no, and he also said

strangely enough he did not see much MC with his patients. (Maybe

because of anti-virals?!)

Any way...we did not get much assistance from the general

practicioner on this so we went to a dermatologist. They were

getting worse. My daughter received a treatment in the office of a

special ointment (cantharidine) and not burned off.

I thought I'd share a little about my friend, Pam, at work who has had RA for

many years. She's in her mid-forties now and works full time. She and I have

talked a lot lately about RA since it seemed for awhile that I might have some

sort of autoimmune disease of my own ... but so far, the doctor has found

nothing to indicate that. My pain goes on and I will be seeing a physical

therapist next.

Pam is on Remicade now and loves it. She is a very determined lady who has gone

through studies and helped test medicines. She took dance classes during some

of her worst periods of the disease. She refuses to use handicapped parking

spaces and walks constantly. She has deformities in her fingers and wrists and

she walks a little bend over at the waist but she never lets that get her down.

She once told me that when she didn't move for several minutes, her joints would

freeze up so she is in constant movement at work.

She's on 3 mg pred, trying to reduce it to 2 mg in an effort to get off it but

is having problems. I know there are other RX she's taking as well but don't

remember them all. We talked specifically about the prednisone because she is

rail thin! Everyone I've ever known who's been on that toxic agent is rounded.

Pam has two Siberian Huskies and a husband with his own health problems and she

takes care of all of them. I know she's been in some serious pain at times but

she never lets it stop her. I know not everyone can be like her and she gives

me encouragement to keep going even when I'm hurting most (like now when it's

been raining non-stop for three days here in SUNNY southern Calif). She is

truly an inspiration.

Loving hugs,

Hi , I am newly diagnosed as well. I just found out in

November and was taken out of work. I cannot imagine trying to work

at this point. Like you said just doing light puttering around the

house is my main goal right now. I hear some people do work with

it, I think a lot depends on if and when the meds work for you.

Also, I am sure it depends on the type of work you do. I personally

feel my main focus though should be on resting and taking care of my

body now that I do have this disease and since the disease itself

makes you tired as do many of the meds, I am not getting my hopes up

too high on the return to work issue, but rather on just trying to

find the right meds to make me comfortable. So far we have managed

to get by financially and I pray that continues. I have found that

a lot of RA patients do some volunteer work at local schools, etc.,

as the schedule is so flexible and if you are having a bad day, it

is not a huge deal if you do not show up or can only stay an hour or

so. Every RA patient that volunteers that I talk to has said it is

a great joy to them and lifts their spirits immensely. Don't give

up hope. I know I am not going to. You can email me anytime if you

need someone to talk to. --- Tracie, age 38

[Guest guest]

Blood types and absorption usually is

reserved for foodstuffs. Dr. D’Amado (spelling?) developed a theory based

upon the collective work of his father and himself in observing several

thousand patients over a 60 year span. According to him, each blood type either

uses or fights specific foods for nutrients and this is based upon what your

blood type is. It does have some merit in concept, but like all theories,

in generality the concept is good, in actuality, everyone is unique and needs

to look at what foods best work for them.

In theory, blood typing for eating

develops a pattern or grouping of foodstuffs that your body can more easily

gain nutrients from. For instance, “O” type can eat/utilize

red meat, no dairy other than mozzarella cheese, some citrus fruits (grapefruit

yes/oranges no) some legumes, etc… Type A’s cannot utilize any red

meat but virtually all vegetables and dairy are OK.. Type B is a mix of

the 2, but more towards A than O.

There are a number of books published on

the concepts and there is some merit to it, but again, you need to determine

what is good for you, not what is good for a specific blood type

overall. I have utilized the theory loosely to develop eating patterns and

dietary guidelines, but in the end, if you can eat it and it does not cause

allergic reactions and you stay healthy, that is what is good for you.

Makes a good guideline, not a rigid setpoint.

You are much further ahead worrying about

how you combine foods as in eating starches and proteins, vegetables and

fruits, etc… as this determines how the digestive juices break up your

foods to make use of the nutrients. If you are a big sandwich eater, for

instance, you are taking in both an acid and an alkali based food (bread and

meat) which are opposites. Your body then issues forth an acid to break

down one food stuff and an alkali to break down the other. These

digestive juices then have a tendency to cancel each other out in your stomach.

The food essentially lays there and rots and you receive only a very, very

minor amount of nutrient where normally you would be capable of getting at

least 1/3 of the nutrient value of what you ate.

Another consideration is wheat

products. Your body’s immune system is required to digest anything

with gluten. If your immune system has to attack your food, you are using

precious resources to digest food that should be reserved for fighting your

disease. Get gluten out of your life, even if you are not suffering from

celiac’s disease. There are a great number of small things like this you

can do to help yourself. No one thing is significant, but combined, they

do make a large difference in your overall well being.

There are great complexities in how your

body gets nourishment and anything you can do to help yourself along, the

better off you are, especially when fighting immune system diseases.

If you have found

that LDN liquid works better for you,...... can you tell me your blood type???

I have absorption

/digestive issues and was once told that it was most likely because

I was type A.

>>The baby I'm talking about evidently craps and farts almost constantly

and

at one month has either reached his birth weight or not quite done so

yet.

That could be normal. Lose one pound, gain four ounces a week for a month =

birth weight.

Leaky butt can also be very normal. My daughter had ass foam and all manner of

disturbing manifestations and astonishingly loud gas.

What's important: how he looks. Nice tone, etc. Remembering of course that

they still look like eggless chicks at one month.

I haven't actually seen the baby yet myself, but I know that the mother's

diet is crap, the baby's diet is going to be crap, etc. It's sad, but

there's really nothing I can do.
