Thank you

You need to ask them to develop a behavior modification plan that

specifically states that he is NOT to be held in from recess. There are

other methods such as behavior charts, etc to help.

Yes, does he have an IEP? There is a great book called " Teaching the Tiger "

that addresses this issue, among other things for kids with ADHD.

Question

know if its ok if i ask the school not to keep my son in for a punishment

They only keep my ADHD son in for part of recess and then tell us what

happened and we punish him at home too. The teacher tried keeping him in for

the whole recess once and decided that would NOT be best because he only got

in more trouble that afternoon because he missed his release (soccer) and was

acting out more.

[Guest guest]

,

This is a great list. I particularly like the questions that I've

selected below... I was actually going to ask everyone about number

13. I had asked my surgeon this question and I never really got a

straight answer. I was wondering how concerned I should be if he

still doesn't give me a satisfactory answer the next time I ask him.

I think his view was, " why does it matter, if I showed you

before/after pics? Even if I did, everyone is totally different and I

don't want to put false expectations in your mind " . I asked

him " well, don't you consider yourself somewhat of an artist? This

surgery has a very aesthetic part to it and I'd like to see what your

idea of beauty is even if my 'canvas' is different " . Don't know how

he managed to weasle out of responding directly to that too although

he did acknowledge that it's very aesthetic and he understand that.

Hi ,

I met my surgeon for an initial consultation after my ortho had recommended

him to me. That was back in 2000. Haven't seen him since, but would really

like to soon!

Hi Lee,

There are some negative side effects to steroids which is why as you

recognized a number of members, including myself, want to avoid taking them.

That

being said, it is true that they can significantly reduce the amount of protein

spilling in the urine, so that is certainly a positive. They are indicated in

the aggressive IgAN as well as in those patients with high protein levels. I

hope they work for you!

[Guest guest]

well,,,,,,apirl has been on steriods since feb of this year,,,and her protein

in her urine has went from 3+ and 4+,,,,to now it is at 1+,,,and blood is

till at 3+,,,,,(blood in urine),,,,,,aprils hates taken them as well as the

other

members here,,,,but you have to do what ever is the best to keep u in good

health for yourself and your family,,,,,,,god bless you,,,,,,,crystal

[Guest guest]

Hi Lee,

I know I may be in the minority, but I LOVE steroids. Steroids are the

reason I got my son back. He's a whole new kid on steriods. Last March,

(before starting prednisone) his protein creatinine ratio was 6.2. He was

tired, frustrated and beat. It took about a month for the decline to begin,

but ever since he started prednisone, his protein creatinine ratio has

steadily dropped to 0.18. Other aspects of his disease have also normalized

and his energy is back to normal.

I know this is not a trivial drug - and for some people - including folks on

this board - the side effects are enormous. I wouldn't dream of

discrediting their experiences. However, those experiences are not

universal. I was really, really scared when we started pred.

Fortunately, it's been a godsend for us.

The only side effects my son has experienced were a very hefty weight gain

and BP increase - both of which were easily managed. The weight gain

happened so fast it seemed like overnight! The only memory we have of it,

however, are the promo photos for a theater production he was in at the

time. He looked like Spanky! Fortunately, the weight came off as fast as

it went on. Swimming a few nights a week at the pretty much took care of

the problem. He's still carrying a few extra pounds, but it's fairly

trivial in terms of the big picture. The steriods also caused a blood

pressure increase so we had to increase his lisinopril. Prior to steroids,

he was taking 7.5 mg lisinopril twice a day; after steriods, he had up the

dose to 15 mg twice a day. He also takes famotidine (aka Pepcid) to prevent

stomach problems.

Generally, steroids seem to work best if the disease is not too advanced to

begin with.

I wish you luck with this one. This is clearly a drug that merits a lot of

respect, but it can also be very, very useful in some cases.
