Bambi,

The way jesse was dx was going by his RA fator and by medical history on him.

meaning his how long was he swollen and had pain and where. If you go to the

arthritis foundation web site it will tell you everything you need to know

about arthritis and what kind of arthritis. Try

http:/www.arthritisfoundation.com. I am going by memory here so it may not be

right. The arthritis foundation can even help you find a dr to help you. I do

know how it feels to find a RA dr cause its almost impossible to find a peds.

RA dr. The one jesse has is lic. in alabama and Fl. Fl only has 2 for kids.I

did try to find a adult RA one at first but they won't touch a child. I hope

this helps a bit. Take care,

Bambi,

Unfortunately, rheumatic diseases are very difficult to diagnose correctly,

especially in the early stages. There is no one single test that can be used

to give a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

The doctor usually goes through your history, asks you many questions, does

a thorough examination, and then orders blood tests and, perhaps, x-rays. A

diagnosis of RA is pretty much a clinical one, since you could have normal

blood tests results and still have RA (sero-negative RA). If RA-like

erosions are seen on the x-rays, that is a very strong clue. So is an

elevated RF and/or sed rate.

I think a second opinion is a very good idea. You will feel more comfortable

about the diagnosis if the second doctor should concur.

A proper diagnosis is key because you can't receive the appropriate drugs to

help you without the right diagnosis.

Hope this helps,

Hi :

Thanks for your suggestion. It is something to think about.

I would have to discuss it with my Kidney Doctor since I have a kidney

transplant and so many other medical problems. He is on vacation right now

for a week or maybe two, I'm not exactly sure. But I will make a note of

your suggestion and ask him what he thinks when I talk or see him next. I

really like the idea of having further surgery but I will see what my Doctor

thinks I should do. Thanks for your thoughts and take care. I would enjoy

hearing from you anytime. Email me whenever you would like. Sincerely,

.

Dear :

Please note that I made a typo. I meant to say I really " don't " like having

further surgery not that I really like having further surgery. The way I

wrote it sounds like I am a real fruitcake. Sorry for the error. Have a

good day.

Esther,

I just posted a link about taking your basal temperature to check your

thyroid.

All of my thyroid tests come out fine, but according to this basal test, I

have

hypothyroidism. I have many of the symptoms. The doctor told me to do this

5 days in a row. Menstruating woman should do the test on the second day

of their period. I didn't wait for my period, so the test may not mean

anything.

I'm curiously waiting.

Sorry to hear about your SIL. I hope she makes you an aunt one day.

Glad to hear you've been having so much fun. Didn't the roller coaster

hurt?

You probably were having so much fun that you didn't feel a thing LOL! I am

going to Disney in February, and the kids swear I can go on a rollercoaster.

They're

telling me that there is no jolting with these rides because of the design.

I highly

doubt they will talk me into trying it. Maybe on the last day.

I think it is wonderful that Ocean City has those wheelchairs. Your cousin

is

so sweet to take you to there and to do whatever it takes. I hope you have

lots of fun.

Don't eat to much cotton candy!

My replacement is loosening after just 2 years. I guess I got the generic

glue <g>.

I hope yours is not becoming loose.

Take care, and I hope you are feeling better after your crash!

Hi ,

So sorry to read about all your problems with WC. We will be praying

that

your SS will come through and soon!

Esther tried working but her right wrist, which is sprained, was really

throbbing

so both the ortho and rheummy suggested that she not work until she visits

them next both Friday. Hopefully, we will be able to catch up on all this

e-mail LOL..........geez, if you miss a day or two, they really mount up and

it

is becomming hard to figure out who is who LOL. We may have to take

's suggestion and take some kind of Memory Course LOL.

Hope you are feeling well today.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your prayers. Everything is such a mess right now,

hopefully it will all come together soon. SS called yesterday and the case

worker told me she would try to speed things up. What ever that means.

Esther, I hope your wrist feels better soon. I agree had a good

suggest.

Hope you are both having a good day.

:

I was wondering if any of you can give me any advice about the

casting? Are there any specific things I need to make sure that I do

or take with me? How long does it take?

The casting itself only takes about 10 minutes. Before hand, you

will be asked a whole bunch of questions (such as: was the baby full

term?, torticollis present?, did baby spend a lot of time in a carrier/car

seat/swing?.......). The casting is a little tough for most parents

because baby will usually do a fair bit of crying, but it does not hurt

them, and only lasts a short time. If you go in knowing this, it

will be a lot easier. Take your husband or a close friend with you.

It will help you emotionally, and you may need an extra pair of hands to

hold Noah while he is being casted. If there is no one that can go,

Cranial Tech. will supply an extra set of hands if you need them!

Take a bottle, pacifier, a favorite plastic toy - anything you think

might keep Noah more calm. Although all bathing supplies are there

for you to use, we took our own shampoo, soap, cloth & towel.

Hanna has sensitive skin, so we wanted to use what she uses every day.

You will probably be there for about an hour, maybe less. The

plaster will wash off of your clothes, but I would recommend jeans and

a tee shirt - nothing dressy. Also, if you wear a lot of rings, you

might want to leave them at home or in your purse so that you don't have

to scrub them later.

Please check the files section for casting photos. I personally

found them to be very helpful!

Also how often will we have to go to the office for check ups or

adjustments?

At first, you will likely go every week. You will be taken to a bi-weekly

schedule after Noah is between 7 & 8 months.

Typically how long do kids have to wear the band?

Average wear time is 4.5 months. It all depends on the age of the

child (the younger, the faster the treatment), and the severity of the

plagio. Some babies are finished in 8 weeks, some wear the band for

months. My daughter wore her band for 5 months. She was 6m

3days when she got it, and her plagio. was severe.

I am planning on painting it. I am going

to have it air brushed. Is there anything I need to know about doing

that?

What ever you do, put 4-6 coats of acrylic VARNISH over the paint!!!

Make sure there is at least 2 coats on before putting it on Noah.

The paint chips VERY easily without it - especially with airbrushing.

You can apply more coats over the next few days during the hour that it's

off for cleaning (each coat takes about an hour to dry).

Good luck, and we're glad to see you made it back!

they feel they have to remove it? To be honest with you this is the first

time I have heard of removing an extremity in terms of CMT.

What type of doctor are you conferring with? Orthopedic, medical,

Are you diabetic?

Hello, What type of complications are you having? With all the new style

There is a man in another CMT support group who had both his feet removed. He

is soooo grateful to be free of the pain he wishes he had done it earlier.

He's a young father, very active and happy. He jokes about his stumps, but

walks well with his artificial legs.

I've heard nothing but good about the procedure. I'm sure no one would do it

without a lot of thought. Sometimes enough is enough.

hospital in Ca. at the Dr. recomendations. They have

but on the braces and I use the wheel chair. But my

ankle has come apart from the rest like it is

Terry, It sounds like you are scared. Maybe you need a few questions

answered about amputations? I think there can be worse things in this world

then having a foot removed..
