Guest guest Posted February 22, 2000 Report Share Posted February 22, 2000 Autumn: Thanks! He always looks like a ghost, because he is so pale. It must be the sinus infections!? They could find no allergies on him. Destiny (Tucker 3, CVID) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 HI Marcy: Polypharmacy is often necessary if you are looking at the triad of OCD, AD(H)D and TS. This is not unusual in boys although they are usually younger than your son is now when they are diagnosed. Do you have access to a skilled pediatric psychopharmacologist? That is what I would suggest if you think you are dealing with this triad. Often our kids look like they might have tics but they are compulsions - this was the case for our son Steve and the p-docs told us to watch out for it. Transient tics are very common with OCD. Medicating comorbid disorders is very tricky and takes more than the typical doctor IMO. As hard as it is, I am a strong believer in calling a spade a spade when it comes to OCD. Giving the situation a label and explaining that this is a no-fault brain disorder for which we have very good treatments that most people respond very well to is an important step. Until then the shame and stigma tend to paralyze us. Just my opinion...... We started attending the OCF Conference so our son, Steve, could meet others dealing with OCD. Even though he tends to get verbal diarrhea about OCD etc. I have seen first hand how liberating this experience has been for him. Meeting docs who have dedicated their professional lives to helping people with OCD in their struggle against a cruel disorder was nothing short of inspiring for him. He no longer had to feel like a freak or that he was irretrievably damaged. He has now met hundreds of people living with OCD and has seen how they live their challenging lives with grace while often making invaluable contributions in their work and family lives. Nothing could have inspired a kid more after he had been told by some docs that his case was practically hopeless. If you have a good E & RP therapist you can leave the job of engaging your son in treatment up to them. If you need to intervene to ensure he follows with treatment I would suggest you need to find a new therapist. It took us about a dozen docs before we found someone who could really help our son. Many on this list have hit paydirt way before that number. There are on line support groups for people with OCD of all ages. OCD Kids Support Group The OCD Kids Support Group exists as an online source of support and information for children (7-12) with Obsesssive-Compulsive Disorder. Our group is a " specific focus " extension of the OCD and Parenting List.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hi Kathy Thanks for asking, Kaitlin came through the surgery fine, she had to stay over 1 night she is still in alot of pain but not as bad as thursday and friday, trying to not take perceset(?spelling) just advil, she had an allergic reaction to morphine, just to make things more interesting,and an asthma attack the next morning and some bad ocd thoughts. It was a good thing we took the gallbladder out, even though it showed up on no test, her galbladder was abnormal anatomically, very inflamed and had scarring from repeated episodes of inflamation, I hope we have gotten to the bottom of the problem of the chronic pain. Waiting for her to come out of surgey and recovery were the longest 4 hrs of my life. Any way ocd seems more in control today which is always a good thing. Thanks again for the support!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 sorry I cannot resist forwarding this tonight......in view of the lively talks here.... this was sent to me by a very intelligent wonderful lady friend I have known and liked for years........and she worked in a cardiology office for many years with respected physicians she admired......so with tongue in cheek, or not......... lol * * * O F F I C I A L G O V E R N M E N T S T A T I S T I C S * * *a. The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.b. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. d. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.e. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500.f. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.* Statistical Significance: Doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gunowners.* Conclusion: On a statistical possibility basis, guns don't kill people, doctors do.* Fact: Not everyone has a gun, but almost everyone has a doctor.* Recommended Action: Please alert all your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand.SPECIAL NOTE: Out of concern for the public, statistics on lawyers have been withheld for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
