Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hello, My son just had an MRI and it came back with pmg. He is 9 months olds. He cannot sit up unassisted, but loves to stand (with us holding him of course). He just started army crawling around. The daycare lady says that sometimes she turns around and he is gone. He doesn't seem to have a problem eating (except with a spoon, it seems to freak him out), and he seems normal intelligence wise. He watches little Einstein, loves the dog, laughs at our older son etc... I was just wondering if anyone out there can offer some advise? Thanks, Traci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Traci, your son sounds like a doll. All you can do is watch him, and alert the doctor if you notice anything that appears to be seizure activity. Not all of our children develope seizures, and he might be one of the lucky ones who don't. Good luck ! and my Angel Crystal Aquielle > Hello, > My son just had an MRI and it came back with pmg.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 There are some fantastic youtube videos on all aspects of OCD. I think you get to them through the OCD Foundation website - look for media or something like that. A beautiful young lady talks about her journey out of OCD and describes perfectly how it feels for the benefit of non-ocs. Newly Diagnosed My 12 year old daughter is newly diagnosed with OCD. She is in the hands of a good therapist specializing in children and adolescents and I am truly grateful to finally find someone to help us. For years I thought she was just being " difficult " and I was just a bad parent for giving in to her often scary and out of proportion reactions to not getting her way or trying to get her to leave the house on time. She currently takes 2 hours and 45 minutes to leave the house. I feel guilty about the years I have yelled at her for being disrespectful or stubborn or both. I have been chastised by friends, family and loved ones for giving in to her tantrums or letting her " run my household. " How do I help her without enabling her and how do I get my support team, who has always been there for me, to support me now and understand that this is something she cannot help and she is not acting this way on purpose?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Welcome! Does your daughter's therapist specialize in OCD using ERP (exposure and responses prevention)? That is really important because not all therapists, even very good ones, are skilled at treating OCD with this state of the art treatment. If the therapist is skilled at treating OCD, she should be able to guide you as to what to stop doing, while at the same time letting your daughter know that you are all working together for the common goal of beating back the hold OCD has on her. The therapist should be making a hierarchy of her fears/obsessions with the resulting compulsions, and then together she should be helping her to tackle these starting at the low end of the hierarchy. This needs to be done systematically, and as they are working through these fears, she should be practicing her ERP at home with your support and help. As far as getting others who care about you and her to support you and understand about OCD, it is really up to the person. If they are open to it, you could give them one of the great books on childhood OCD to read, or at least an article about it. Still, OCD is very hard to understand if you don't have it, and it is probably more natural for them to assume that this is just a strong willed child who wants her way, rather than one behaving this way to cope with her fears/obsessions. I have had to be strong through the years and do what is right for my kids, even when those I love most didn't get what is going on with my kids. My dad is closest to my kids next to me, and since I have OCD, he has dealt with a child of his own having OCD, yet, he just doesn't get it a lot of the time. I have to realize that there is nothing I can do to make him see things from a different perspective if he believes strongly in his own view of what is going on. Sometimes he is understanding, but most of the time, he either acts like it is not there or he loses it and gets annoyed about it.' This group can be a good source of support for you because we have all been going through similar things. Newly Diagnosed My 12 year old daughter is newly diagnosed with OCD.
