Hi Cordy:

My arm pain sounds a lot like your's. It's mostly in the forearm -

about halfway between my wrist and elbow - and does feel like cramping. I

do think it's CMT related. This pain does not seem to be related to

activity level in any way. I typ a lot, but that does not seem to influence

it much. If I discover any good treatment, I'll let you know.

Hi All,

I had been having aching in my left arm, when I would hold my arm a

certain way. I fell on ice in Jan 1999, landing on my left arm,

(complete left side, thought ribs were broken, but Doc didn't take pics,

saying there wasn't anything that could be done if ribs were broken. I

thought maybe elbow maybe went into my side. Was painful for quite a

while. I couldn't lay on that side. I am very paranoid on snow or ice

now. The ice was under a new layer of snow. The arm is better, but now

I'm having aching in right knee & going up into hip & lower back. It

seems to bother me worse when I'm sitting w/ knee in bent position. I

have tried most of the pain meds. I try to get by without them, unless

it is very bad, but it isn't really pain, more achiness in joints. I

have Osteoarthitis, my hands & fingers are always hurting. Fingers are

curving inwards, & lots of knots on knuckles. I love flower gardening.

Bought a 32 lb. bag of potting soil to transfer some houseplants, but

couldn't lift the darn thing. A nice man parked next to me helped. I

hadbeen lifting them somewhat, (40 lbs.), but sure couldn't do it this

time.

has this thing for the cold too. I'm in sweats and under quilts and

he's walking around in shorts and no shirt telling me he's fine, with icicle

hands and feet.

I really think this is a sensory issue for our kids. Just like the spicy

foods with no reaction to it. Go figure..

[Guest guest]

Sara,

We used to do that with at school, only instead of McD's we gave a

$1.00 for an all happy face day. He would save them up for a video he

wanted. I thought this might get very expensive but it was tough getting an

all happy face day. He really tried hard and was sooooo happy when he got

his dollar towards that video.

Now he earns matchbox cars that the school provides if he has a good day,

each day.

Loriann,

Happy to hear about 's weight loss. I'm really struggling with 's

and looking for ways to get him some exercise now that soccer has ended. His

appetite has been huge since he started Risperdal and even though he doesn't

snack, he's not satisfied with just one portion of a meal. It's really hard

to say no when he's begging and saying PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's not

wanting more of the salad or veggies.

He's been riding one or those large three wheel bikes at school once a week

for the last few weeks and they're telling me he likes it and is doing it. I

thought about getting one for Christmas until they told me they cost about

1500.00 for the ones with the back to the seat. I called Regional Center and

asked if there is anything they can do about getting one of these

theraputic bikes and it looks like they're going to get him one. I was

shocked. I wonder if it would be pushing my luck if I asked for it by

Christmas????

What kind of school is in? How did you get them to let him ride a

bike at school? I have been asking for this since Preschool, and they say

it is not " educational " so they 'cannot " provide it. I would love for

Matt to get more practice riding bikes. He has no Physical Therapy as he

is " functional " at school, but does get OT and Adapted PE. Any

suggestions?

If Matt is receiving Adaptive PE, you can get them to provide (or let him

ride a bike) at school by showing them that he NEEDS it in order to SUCCEED

in that part of his education. Believe it or not, it's all about using the

right terminology!

weve been trying to get nathans trike since summer, and we finally got one,

his case manager said they faxed the final application today, wahoo, so

hopefully by christmas, its allready here at at the bike shop just waiting

for the funds to be approved. my prayers that his goes trough quickly.

nathan's trike was only just over $500 but he doesnt nee a back brace either,

i know we shopped around all spring before we found that our local bike shoop

was the cheapest route, and most freindly, go figure,lol. shawna.

[Guest guest]

nathan can ride his bike to school too, when its not twenty feet of snow on

the ground lol, thats wierd they wont help teach him to ride a bike, its is

too functional to help him interact with his peers not to mention a healthy

activity wich all our kids need, weve use to use regualr bikes with training

wheels but now at age 9 he bends the trraining wheels out or tips over all

the time unable to balance himself but soo badly wanting to ride otu there

with his brother, he gets all peeood. HIs PT at hospital wrote a RX for one,

so he could finding for it, staing it was needed do to unability to balance

and the need for exercise due to wait etc etc. shawna.

[Guest guest]

it also has to deal with development, like they cant walk until they crawl

etc type of thing.

to my proper email address.

If anyone has clicked on any of the email buttons on my website from

I have changed providers on November 24th FROM @home TO Telus.net

and all my mail from the website is still be directed to the rogers email

address.

I apologise for this inconvieniance, if I could change it myself, id have

done it ages ago, but im html-website illiderate! and dont know how ( i

tried installing my own firewall, and ended up having to buy a new

computer..serious).

Please, if anyone has tried to email from the website (orders@... for

example) I would not have recieved your email, please re-send to

thesoapgoat@...

Once again, I very much apologise for this inconvieniance and I am in the

prosess of fixing this email catastophe.

ask more interesting questions. Even if your not a poster please

answer this poll so we can just see what numbers we come up with.

Thanks,

Yes, I have noticed this with my daughter. She stims...(arm flapping when

excited, eye squinting, some spinning but not as much as a year ago)...when

she regresses, then a few days later, an explosion of phrases. She still

needs prompting, but the phrases are what gets me. Where before she would

need a prompt for " I " , a prompt for " want " , a prompt for " popsicle " and we'd

have to go through this until she'd say the phrase. Then after an explosion,

it is one prompt for " I want popsicle " ...just by saying, " , use your

words, what do you want " . Things like that. By the way, she just turned 3,

in case you were wondering.

I just started her on the enzymes today. (starting the pep first, then will

add the ZP in a couple of weeks or so, depending). My problem is that she is

not a big eater anymore. She goes in spurts with that too, and since she

just grew, she'll probably only graze for the next 2 to 3 weeks before she

goes through another eating machine phase. So, I am not holding out too much

hope in the beginning.

She has been GF/CF for over a year...then we began adding gluten back into

her diet about 2 months ago. She is getting to the age where I can't expect

her to sit back and eat bland cake when her sister eats " good " (by MY

standards anyway) cake....and she stopped eating her gluten-free breads. So

in order to give her sandwiches, we went back to white bread. She seems to

be doing okay. Milk products/casein always seemed to be her main problem

anyway.

Question is, should I try giving her milk after I give her an enzyme so that

the enzymes have something to work on or should I wait awhile or not give it

at all? From reading here, sounds like you need to experiment a lot. Just

wondering if anyone else is in a similar boat?

Thanks

Charlene,

I don't think Nick Steel's work fits this because the indicators used - aged

under 5 years; elective admissions under 5 years; births under 2,500; deaths

under 65 years (all expressed as rate per 10,000 people registered) are all

ratio level numbers (rather than nominal or ordinal level).

Sorry

Lizzie, it's only been two weeks since I'm taking L- (or DL-) Phenylaline, but I think it's helping--my legs are still achy, but definitely not as stiff. Perhaps it's the LDN kicking in finally (I've been on it for three months), the weather getting a little warmer, or a combination thereof. Dr. Bihari suggested taking two capsules a day--one in the morning and another in the late afternoon. They're 500 mg each. Also at his suggestion, I began with one and plan on adding a second this week.

Good luck with it.
