Her current dose is 15mg (.6cc), given by injection once a week. The dosage for the kids varies depending on size as well as how well they are responding. some kids do very well on as little as 7.5mg. Unfortunately, , 9 yrs old, has not been able to successfully go below her current dose. While on oral methotrexate had a lot of trouble with nausea and vomiting, but since switching to injections a couple years ago things are much better. The decision to use methotrexate for our kids is never an easy one, as I think all of us worry about putting the kids on these meds. But the difference it can make in quality of life is amazing! Hope this helps a bit. Let us know how is doing. Liz Re: Introduction ML.. i was just wondering how long has your son been on mtx? has it helped? does he have any side effects from it.. they are wanting to start my daughter on it and i am a bit nervous. what amount is he on? thanks.. kellie & 7 yr old polyarticular JRA For links to websites about arthritis and JRA, visit: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Village/8414/Links.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 - Thanks for being supportive! I am so happy to have made it, and so happy to have the friendships with all of you guys! I am sorry I have not been keeping in touch as much as before, but I suppose I have gotten my life back so to say, and I don't spend a lot of time on the computer. I do think of you all OFTEN and hope only the best is happening for you all too! Debbie and - thanks for " enlightening " Debbie! haha. And boy oh boy does have it right that it won't always be in a bathroom. That is the absolute worst when you simply have to try to let ahem, something, escape and there are others around. You get kind of good at " the look " - i know you all know it. The look where you look around like you are trying to figure out where that repulsive smell is coming from as if you didnt just proiduce it! And since females don't ordinarily create that degree of odor - I can usually pass it off on the nearest innocent man! Sorry guys!!!! I know I am not the only one! My poor husband has been blamed more often than I think even he realizes! LOL Anyway, best of luck to you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 In a message dated 2/17/2003 7:30:38 AM Eastern Standard Time, writes: > We have been advised to use this and interact with him except we get major > tantrum like screaming, headbanging etc He does not want us touching his > stim toys. > Seems that getting him to allow you to " play " along with him when he has these favorite toy items would be an important step. Some of his SIB and tantrum behavior might be coming from past experiences in which adults have taken these precious items away from him. You can probably shape better tolerance to your involvement by teaching him that you will not be taking such items away during his allowed stim time. First, just touch the toy quickly and reinforce him. Gradually add more interaction time with him, and eventually you should be able to work on directing the stimmies to more appropriate and interactive play (with you modeling more appropriate use of these toys.) Perhaps his programming needs to be reassessed. Do you think he is finding program time as aversive, and working simply to escape it through intensive stimming? Is it possible for you to attend a Partington workshop? He emphasises the importance of establishing a good working rapport with the child before and during program work. " Children should run to us, not from us. " And he offers specific techniques for developing what he considers the ultimate goal of intervention-to produce happy children who possess the skills required to enable them to become successful learners. ISee http://www.behav ioranalysts.com/ for info on training and support offered through Dr. Partington's company. If I had to do it over again, I would run, not walk, to learn about his model of intervention for my son. It is a very sophisticated and child friendly application of the science (behavior analysis). Good luck. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 When I make my fisherman soap, I use anise as the fish seem to like it. That could be used in a spray. For my hunter soap, I use essential oils that are indigenous to our area. For instance, oakmoss, Texas cedar (Not Virginia cedar),sage etc. My customers swear by it. My son-in-law has bagged his biggest bucks since using it. Kaye (Texas) Message: 5 Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2003 13:12:01 -0400 From: Madonna <msangel1@...> Subject: hunter's spray I know about the hunter and fisher soaps to remove human scent but I had a thought of making a spray in a bottle to take hunting. Does anyone think this idea would work or just exactly what ingredients would be best for it? There are a lot of hunters in my area and I thought maybe this would be a bigger market.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hello everyone, > If you are using > alcohol to compound a fragrance product for sale then Federal law > requires that you use a denatured alcohol. Is everyone here who sells abiding by this? I didn't know about this requirement until brought it up - I am so pleased to be using organic alcohol - no way I could switch to denatured. On another legal issue, is it true as someone mentioned here that you must list all your ingredients? I'm pretty sure I've seen perfumes, edt, etc. that don't. Thanks for any comments. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I got no dog in this hunt. I don't care, because I did the research, and I don't use it. But please don't suggest that 2 little innocent kids WITH DIABETES be fed it. " Depending on the source and processing method used, agave syrup can, therefore, contain as little as 55% fructose, the same amount found in high-fructose corn syrup -- in which case the syrup would offer no advantage. What is the " Real " Truth about Agave? If you knew the truth about what's really in it, you'd be dumping it down the drain -- and that would certainly be bad for sales. Most agave " nectar " or agave " syrup " is nothing more than a laboratory-generated super-condensed fructose syrup, devoid of virtually all nutrient value, and offering you metabolic misfortune in its place. Unfortunately, masterful marketing has resulted in the astronomical popularity of agave syrup among people who believe they are doing their health a favor by avoiding refined sugars like high fructose corn syrup, and dangerous artificial sweeteners. And if you're diabetic, you've been especially targeted and told this is simply the best thing for you since locally grown organic lettuce, that it's " diabetic friendly, " has a " low glycemic index " and doesn't spike your blood sugar. While agave syrup does have a low-glycemic index, so does antifreeze -- that doesn't mean it's good for you. Most agave syrup has a higher fructose content than any commercial sweetener -- ranging from 55 to 97 percent, depending on the brand, which is FAR HIGHER than high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which averages 55 percent. This makes agave actually WORSE than HFCS. " ~Mercola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
