Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 I have an asperger daughter who is 12 and an autistic daughter who who is 13. My 12 year old also did this. I have come to the conclusion that it has to do with control. They feel that is the only thing that they can control in their life. The throwing up is a part of nervuos disorder and like other people when you eat to mcuh you get sick and throw up, at least I do anyway. I don't eat enough now, cuz the idea of throwing up is terrible. finally come to the decision on her own that if she din't eat so much she wouldn't throw up and she hated that. So in time it will disappear. I know it is hard, but can you wiat it out. didn't like that feeling that she had when she throw up and maybe your child will come to that conclusion too. Rember it is a control issue, at least that is my opinion.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 My girl is now 12 yrs. She eats large amounts of food and gobbles everything down very fast. She doesnt throw up or such. She has this attachment thing with mommie. If i am not sitting with her when she eats she can get upset. We have taught her to eat by herself but sometimes she will stop eating because mommie isnt sitting right next to her. We go around and around with this. It becomes very frustrating at some points. Sometimes i just have daddie sit and eat with her so she doesnt become dependent on mommie always sitting next to her. I am just thankful that she does have a good appetite and all. I am looking at getting her on that diet everyone is talking about. I think i will start by just eliminating the milk products and replacing them with soy products. Like soy cheeses/soy milk etc etc. I will see if that begins to make a difference. So will go to Wild Oats Health food store this week and begin that journey of shopping for these products. ~heidi~ Question I have a question for you. I don't have much time to join in conversationsas I have three differently abled daughter. My twelve year old is autistic.She has been displaying a bizare behaviour. She eats me out of house andhome, then drinks quantities of water and throws up.This started out in the country and the water was not so good. I thought itwas that. But we have been in the city again for awhile and she still doesit. Doctors will not address this behaviour.______________________________________________FREE Personalized Email at Mail.comSign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 my girl started this thing, while taking the medications she would try to throw it up. our behaviorist made her do a task each time she did this and finally she realized that for every inappropriate behavior such as throw up there was a consequence. now she takes her meds very well and only once in awhile she will test us again. believe me, these kids are smart and they will always test you just remember that what they are doing is not acceptable and they are trainable and they need a CONSEQUENCE for their inapporpriate behaviors. then you can have them earn something back for good behaviors regarding the situation. I have learned so much from our behaviorist. she is fantastic, has worked with autisitic children at the institutes and knows what she is doing and i see improvements in alina and in us as parents all the time. I do hope we can all learn from each other online and so i just wanted to take a minute and share this tip with you. ~heidi~ RE: Question I have an asperger daughter who is 12 and an autistic daughter who whois 13.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 Hi, My daughter ate and threw up for years, until we found out she was hypothyroid and started treating her thyroid problem. The thyroid was apparently so enlarged that it caused gagging and projectile vomiting. She was 12 year's old in December, 2000, the last time she threw up was when she had a 24 hour flu bug in 1996. Prior to that it was a daily event. Shirley sadams@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 Thats interesting. My girl gets lots of blood work done on a regular basis and that is one of the tests they always do. So a note for all parents: get those blood tests done regularly and especially if you feel something is wrong. I am even on throid meds at age 47 and just found out am hypothyroid. Well, at least with all the modern tests and lab work , doctors can help us better. ~heidi~ Re: Question Hi, My daughter ate and threw up for years, until we found out she washypothyroid and started treating her thyroid problem.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Autumn does the tubing have a round dial with numbers on it? Is that what's set? Or is the clamp set in just such a way that the drip is regulated? If it's just by where the clamp is then that's still gravity and not reliable. If there is a round dial that can be set to a number listed on the dial then that is a dial a flow. We still do not even use dial a flows on pediatric patients here. we use them on adults but they're not as reliable either.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 - the only time I've seen them put on a dial a flow is when there isn't a med pump available in-house. Each hospital is different and I've worked at 3 and all 3 had different policies.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Ursula, Do you mean that you don't use dial-a-flow on any pediatric patients regardless of the I.V. that's being run. Autumn had a dial-a-flow at home when we were doing i.v. timentin. I'm wondering now if we should have requested that the home health agency use a pump instead. Just a question for future reference.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 Ursula, I meant that we used a dial a flow at home. The hospital has always used a pump for us. I am just curious if it is safe to use a dial a flow doing at home infusions.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Hi Eleanor, I have been tested for both lupus and RA and both results have came back negative. I haven't heard that once you had Stills it could turn into lupus or RA. My understanding was once you had been diagnosed with Stills, you were stuck with it . I could be wrong though! Don't worry about asking questions - I enjoy reading them and learning from all the responses - that's what the sight is for. I'm fairly new to Stills as well and there seems to be so much to learn about it! Jen Question As you guys know, I'm very new to this illness so I still have so many questions. Have any of you tested positive for lupus or rheumatoid arthrits after being diagnosed with Stills? My rheumy is going to monitor me for this because he said about 50% of the time this can turn either. Have you heard the same? Thanks, Eleanor Visit the Still's Disease Message Board http://disc.server.com/Indices/148599.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
