Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 We have a reverse osmosis system for our drinking water. Very expensive, but I was told that is the best. Nothing filtering our other water though, which is a bit of a concern to me.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 My daughter, (achon), had an MRI at nine months over at ish Rite in Atlanta. She had met previously with Dr. Hudgins a month prior and he didn't see anything wrong with her during the examination. He requested that she have an MRI so that he could foresee anything decompression, etc. that's common for all achons. With her age, it was advise that she be sedated (no anesthesia was given). I don't know the name the liquid, but she was given a small amount. It started with a " C " (someone on the list will probably know the name). It took her about ten minutes to go to sleep. We were allowed to set in the room while the scanning was taken place. It was understandable why she had to be sedated. The noise was loud, that we had to wear headsets. They even placed a small set over her ears. The process took about 20-30 minutes. She was awake in no time and after she took a bottle of juice, we were allowed to leave. While she was in recovery, she was hooked up to a pulse machine. There may not be anything wrong with your son at this time; however, it's good to have the tests for follow-up up visits. I hope this helps you. Cheryl > 7.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I believe when someone has been or sais cured of autism its simply no different than being cured of cancer or in remisson. If there is no reason or signs of autism showing why yes they can say their cured at least at that point in their life. There is nothing wrong with those words if your child is cured in your eyes or the doctor's eye's good for you ,your child ,and your family do not feel bad about using those word's we just wish we all could say that. Just my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 If you put a few drops of regular grocery store hydrogen peroxide in each ear and leave it in for 15 min. or 'till it stops bubbling, you may get help. If an infection in the area is part of the problem this will definitely help and maybe cure. Best wishes, pj Dr wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi, Dougie, You have raised some complex questions here! I wonder if you are sure you have " Harrington " rods? I am surprised to hear that someone was still using this type of nonsegmental instrumentation as late as 1992. I am having my own original, nonfunctional Harrington rod (from 1986, which was already kind of late) removed next week, along with several newer rods (Isola, I believe) plus other assorted hardware. In my case, the removal of implants is part of a more complex spinal revision procedure. This will be my fifth spinal surgery to date. Rod removal is NOT something I would rush off to do. I would want to get several opinions from spinal deformity specialists who have done plenty of complex revision surgery. I trust you are seeing more than one revision surgeon -- ideally, also, a specialist in pain medicine or physical medicine and rehabilitation, as appropriate -- for the best possible diagnosis and advice. I think our intuition about our problems and needs is often very good. Still, I would not rely completely on my own sense of what ails me, or on opinions at a Web forum -- much as I value and appreciate groups like this one. Although I trust the recommendation to get my own hardware taken out, I still need several more tests. These should give my surgeon the best possible idea of what is going on with me and help him to map out his strategy for my surgery. Occasionally I hear about people who benefited from hardware removal only, but often this is done as part of a much more complex procedure -- involving new grafts, new osteotomies, etc. I have run into a number of people who mistakenly believe that getting rid of a rod or two will make everything all right. Usually the solution is more complicated, and may or may not involve having more surgery. You might be interested in our group for veterans of previous scoliosis surgery, particularly those with problems relating to Harrington rod instrumentation: www.. This group would be most helpful to you if you have the specific problem called " flatback syndrome " or " fixed sagittal imbalance. " Otherwise, there may be people posting to the group who can refer you to a better and more informative place on the Web. At least two or three members -- maybe more -- have had surgery for both scoliosis and spina bifida. Best, | HI THERE | | MY NAME IS DOUGIE | | I HAVE SCOLISIS AND SPINEBIFDA..

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi ... I had the impression that Dougie may live outside the U.S, where they're still using Harrington implants today, at least in some cases. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Dougie... So, are you sure that you have Harrington implants? As indicated, they haven't been in general use for many years. I know that there are certain situations where Harrington rods are still the best choice, but I think those incidences are rare. Who was your surgeon? And, do you have scoliosis, kyphosis, or kyphoscoliosis? Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
