Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have read a lot about it here and have considered it. Both of my kids are what I consider " strep kids " . They have had it multiple times over the years. When we had our crazy sudden onset last August she had not been sick at all ~ and I didn't really understand or know about PANDAS. So I didn't have her tested for strep at that time.....we've been doing so well now that I haven't thought to much about it for her.....

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi , This e-mail has helped me more than you know. We do have my daughter in therapy (we really have just recognized this as OCD) and are looking for a new med as the prozac seemed to make things worse. After hearing her tortuted screaming for an hour before school, and having to get her physically in the building, I really need to have something to hold onto and that things can turn out O.K. for her. I am so happy to hear that your daughter is doing well. That must be the best feeling in the world! > > > Hi, > > My six year old daughter has had some anxiety since an arly age. > She always had issues with clothing and new experiences were very > difficult for her.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I just wanted to tell you that I really feel for you and understand exactly what you're going through. I have to tell you that you are doing the best you can and that is enough! You do what you need to do to get through this and you are not alone!! Donna Sent from my iPhone Donna, My 13 yr old daughter does the same to me at bedtime. Total defiance of any bed-time rule. She says she cannot go to sleep if she is anxious and she is always anxious. I give her benadryl to knock her out around 10:30 which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. She lashes out with physical violence, throwing things, and abusive words towards me. My husband works 5 nights a week and on the nights he is here he cannot contain his temper with her defiant behavior. I try to calm them both down but things usually escalate to my husband dragging her into bed screaming and crying. I feel like my family is disintegrating before my eyes. My husband tells me I set no boundaries for her. I do, but she refuses to comply. Just to get her to shower once every 5 days is an all day chore. I am so exhausted most nights I just let her fall asleep with the TV on. She stays up till 2 AM most nights because she is afraid of bad dreams. We are in OCD hell here.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just wanted you to know that you have company in OCD hell if it's any consolation. We have some good times, but my 9 year old daughter seems to be slipping again. She was " getting better " although I think most of the recent improvement was my husband getting sucked in and accommodating her rituals because he cannot stand to see her upset. " Well, " he tells me, " obviously she was upset tonight because you did not give her the same size piece of soap I did or you refused to give her more soap after she asked you to take the liquid soap away (and she had been washing for 30 minutes or more with her arms covered with a thick lather up to the shoulders). " Clearly, it just my poor parenting rather than her OCD that is to blame. Easy for him to say when he is in Wisconsin with his family and our younger daughter, and I am home alone with her screaming at me. I know he is under stress too as his nearly 80 year old mother is recovering from a broken knee cap, but he thinks he has it all figured out. I am supposed to be a perky well-adjusted supermom when my daughter with OCD spends 20 minutes or more arguing with me every time I tell her she needs to use the bathroom and 30 or more minutes washing 3-4x daily (while I am supposed to put up with her verbal tirades, show up the minute she wants help, and agree that I, not her OCD, am the problem), my almost 7 year old is whining and complaining that her sister gets preferential treatment all the time, and my husband is dispensing his wisdom on my shortcomings. I have essentially no outlets except you ladies and one friend here, but my husband finds time to go to the 60th birthday party of an acquaintance and unburden himself to several colleagues at work, however, he doesn't want to listen to me. I don't feel like we have a marriage so much any more--more like a war zone. I feel sad for the daughter of another friend who cannot go to her first farm sleepaway camp as she has an infection and must take antibiotics three times a day (and this just before her birthday)--and yet it feels so far removed from the reality of our days. This child's mother used to be a closer friend of mine but she has been too busy with work and her own life to really have any clue how bad my daughter's or our summer has been. It has been one to one and a half months since our daughter has used any bathroom outside our home, and she insists she doesn't want to and won't do so, but sees no problem with going to school in the fall. My husband accuses me of being too pessimistic when I tell him we need a plan B in case she is not able to attend school. He can be very supportive of everyone and anyone--except me! Sorry for ranting, but I was almost in tears reading to my daughter tonight. , mom to Lynn > > Subject: (unknown) > To: > Date: Friday, July 17, 2009, 8:51 PM > Donna, My 13 yr old daughter does the > same to me at bedtime.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm sorry you are going through this. But I wanted to recommend that you give her melatonin at bedtime instead of Benadryl. You can get it just about anywhere and it's completely safe. Many children who have sleep issues take melatonin. We use the 1mg sublingual tablets by Source Naturals and my 6yo daughter with Asperger's and OCD really likes them and takes them willingly every single night. She is asleep within 30 minutes. Before that she was up most of the night crying and fighting. It was hell. Melatonin has changed our lives. Start at 1mg and go up to 2mg if needed. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Oh, this sounds amazingly frustrating. We had to do family therapy together, and I had to insist that my hubby read a book (which he hated every second of, and was cranky for weeks!) in order to get him to understand that accomodating Meg was the absolute worst thing for her long term. We had to agree on what would be accomodated short term while we worked on small things, and how we would pull out. It's funny - as the therapy process continues, Meg will be the first to tell us that " we are listening to OCD " too. Sometimes, she is frantic, but will get even angrier if we " help " her. The phrase I used for a long time was " we are a family in crisis " . I did not feel that this was an exaggeration, and used it to get everyone's attention. Clearly, you already understand the vile nature of OCD, and how it can capture your child and your family's life. It is not the child's fault, any more than a cancer would be. But happily, they can find a path out, if they are willing to work very hard, and if everyone in the family can get to a point of acceptance and education about how to best help the child. Your goal as a parent, is always to get the child to a point where they can overcome the disease and live an independent and happy life. I apologize for not knowing this, as I have read your posts before - but have you found a really good pediatric ERP therapist? I feel so badly for you - it takes an incredibly strong personality to be able to handle the stress coming from all sides. Sounds like you have it - but I still hope you are ok. I went to talk to someone myself, as I found keeping my confidence up, was critical to the entire family.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Maybe it depends on the cause of not being able to sleep.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hang in there, ladies! Our daughters are all so similar in many ways. I'm so grateful you all are out there and think you are all wonderful parents. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! You understand! It is so isolating to have a child with OCD since so few people DO understand. , I can completely relate to your story about that other mother...I ran into a school mom and her perfectly charming, " normal " daughter at Target recently and the mom said " Oh, we've been having such a wonderful summer! " and sincerely meant it! How do you tell her, " Well, my kid is eating only bread, refusing to go anywhere, calling her siblings idiots and saying she hates them all the time, refusing her medicine, etc? " Other people without this problem just don't get it. I feel very disappointed as a parent sometimes...being a parent is so much tougher for us OCD moms...almost like we were sold a bill of goods about having kids! I know that's not true...I love all 4 of my kids, it's just than the one with OCD is so difficult to parent. I get tired of the rages and tantrums, sleepless nights, screaming fits, etc. I feel guilty for getting upset and feeling like this as I know it is not her fault, it's OCD. There is another child at my daughter's school battling cancer right now and I feel like I have no room to complain...there is hope for my girl with OCD...less hope for a child with cancer. It is just really tough. > > > Just wanted you to know that you have company in OCD hell if it's any consolation. We have some good times, but my 9 year old daughter seems to be slipping again.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi , Sorry you and your daughter are going through this. My daughter is 10 and has PANDAS. She takes 250mg of zithromax everyday. I am wondering what antibiotic they use to treat Lyme these days? How long do they prescribe it for longterm treatment? I hope this treatment works for your daughter. Best wishes, Peggy Subject: (unknown) To: Date: Thursday, August 6, 2009, 4:19 PM My daughter has OCD and Lyme Disease. We are treating her for Lyme with hope that it will help (hopefully eliminate) her OCD. She also has a constant headache and is mostly housebound because of that so we would be treating her for Lyme anyway. We are doing the ERP therapy to help in case her OCD is here to stay and to help her cope in the mean time. There are two groups of doctors involved in Lyme. The more predominant group does not believe OCD can be caused by Lyme or that Lyme can be treated long term. They also think Lyme is rare and easily treated. The other group believes that Lyme is hard to treat and that long term treatment can help. It is a huge controversy. One group believes there are risks to long term antibiotics and the other group believes there are risks to undertreating Lyme. Each person has to decide for themselves which way to go. My daughter had a tick bite and her clearly recognized OCD behaviour and her headaches started right after that. Before that, she did have a few habits that might have been normal preschool behaviour or early hints of OCD. She liked to wear a swimsuit at all times, even under her clothes, and she took off all of her clothes to go to the bathroom. I didn't think it was anything to worry about at the time. After the tick bite, she started having compulsions that clearly caused her anxiety if she couldn't do them. It remains to be seen whether her Lyme treatment will lessen or eliminate her OCD. Her pdoc thought she had something else going on besides OCD because she would rage, too, at times. While she hasn't seemed to improve much from her Lyme treatment, her raging did stop right away when we started her on antibiotics. That gives me hope that the OCD will be helped by her treatment also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I agree. There are some moms who have really benefitted from the cookies I endorse. they've seen an increase in their production and they feel good--the cookies I refer to are quite nutritious as cookies go and moms are motivated to eat them cause they taste good! Does a mom need these cookies to breastfeed? of course not!

Calorie-dense cookies may be a yummy way to boost their milk supply. As we all know, mothers who are pumping and working sometimes struggle with keeping their supply going. The baby is the best pump you've got and when you have to substitute a baby with a pump, sometimes a little boost via nutrition (or supplements if moms would rather go that route) is helpful. Some moms would rather buy the oatmeal bars, but other mothers prefer more nutritious (no preservatives or artificial colors or flavors) foods. That is where the cookies from Making Thyme come in....they are nutritious AND preservative/artificial ingredient-free. To each his own, though....some people prefer processed foods since they are cheaper. baby beloved, inc.555 Mid Towne NESuite 100Grand Rapids, MI 49503Ph.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi, if you are just there temporarily I would recommend having a blood test done every 2nd week after being there, including 21 days after you have returned as the virus reaches peak levels between 14 and 21 days after being infected, however, if you have already taken oral precautions then the virus may not be picked up in a blood test. This is what we do concerning malaria, the test is extremely simple and we are usually given the results within an hour of having the test, perhaps contact your own doctor here and also find out there if they are prepared to do that, which I am sure they are.I am not sure about any homeopathic deterents for mosquitoes, but I do know that they do not like citronella, so citronella oils and candels, and even burning citrus rind & peel deters mosquitoes, and of course a mosquito net at night time is essential! Having air movement like a fan or airconditioner on will also keep them away. We have done a couple of fishing trips to Lake Kariba in Africa, which is mosquito heaven! Hope this helps.Regards, Colleen hello all, please advise me i am in lahore where there is an epidemic of dengue virus which spreads thru the dengue mosquitoes if anyone has any idea how protection can be sought through this esp for my asd child who is six i would appreciate any advice.
