Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Welcome to the group. we are all shocked and a bit depressed at first, but it really isn't that bad. Usually starting as soon as possible is best since the head grows faster the younger they are (thus less time in a band). Is your daughter " sydner " or is it a typo? I just wondered because mine is " sydney " . She wore a band from 5 mo to 10 mo, but most babies are in the band for 3 or 4 mo. Where do you live? Have you seen a specialist or band provider? Maybe someone in your area can give specific advise. Also how old is your baby? -christine sydney 2.5 yrs starband grad > > i am so thankful i found this group! right now i am so confused what > to do with my daughter. my husband and i are header toward the getting > sydner a helmet. what is the best age to get it for her. does anyone > wish they hadnt done it? please let me know what your thoughts are, > emotionaly i caould use the asvice!!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi Beata, I'm sorry to learn you're newly diagnosed but happy to hear things are mild. I was on azulfidine years ago and honestly can't recall the impact. Keep your skin controlled and the arthritis should follow. Feel Good.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Welcome Kylie! I'm in CA too. I think you will find the support and wisdom here very helpful. It is hard to know whether to pursue a dx for a kid who seems more mildly afflicted or borderline. You certainly have your hands full with her medical issue already. Good luck with that appt.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Christy: if you've been going from doctor to doctor for the past five months, it sounds as though you've gotten plenty of " other opionions " . Be glad that you were finally diagnosed (five months is actually pretty quick) and are about to start on the standard first-line treatment for this disease. There is a lot of information available on PA on the web. Please educate yourself as quickly as possible so you know what to expect and what your options are in terms of treatment. Apparently you were not bad enough to be put on prednisone (which is good); and MTX may do the job for you. It has for many but requires regular testing to assure that no damage is happening to your liver. If MTX doesn't do the job, you may be put on one of the biologics (Enbrel, Humira or Remicade), which are quite expensive - and that's why insurance companies want you to try MTX first. I, apparently, had just enough joint damage that the insurance company approved my going directly to Enbrel rather than MTX and it has worked well for me. Like you, I was diagnosed within about six months but those six months were scary because I'd gotten to the point where I could barely get up out of a chair or walk up the stairs and I didn't know what was happening to me. Enbrel worked well for me. . . . but no matter what you take, don't expect overnight miracles. Each person reacts differently to PA drugs - some get relief right away; others may take a month or two. For me, the awful swelling I had in my feet and legs literally started to go away the first day I took Enbrel but the pain relief came so slowly that it was hard to detect on a day to day basis until one day I woke up and realized I didn't hurt anymore. Good luck but keep asking questions and do your homework! You will be glad you did so you can become your own best advocate.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 What makes you doubt the diagnosis? If you have psoriasis and one or more fingers or toes that is swollen like a sausage, that is pretty much a slam-dunk for a PA diagnosis. Even if you don't have the sausage digit, joint pain along with psoriasis and a negative rheumatoid factor is pretty much worthy of a clinical diagnosis. You may have had an infection that triggered PA, but it would still be PA. The main thing to think about in considering treatment with MTX is to consider that even though MTX carries a risk of some side effects, so does untreated PA carry some serious risks. If left untreated with MTX or one of the biologicals, you are pretty much asking for eventual irreversible damage to your joints. Not to mention having your quality of life seriously compromised. And when you read the side effects of MTX, realize that the most serious ones occur in people who are taking HUGE doses of it for cancer treatment. We take it in much, much lower doses. Also, the minor side effects like nausea are easily mitigated by dividing the dose, taking Benadryl, etc. We all understand what a shock it is to be told you have an incurable autoimmune disease - we've all been there. But please ask us as many questions as you need to so that you can be well-informed. You will find a lot of knowledge and experience here. You should read as many of the back messages as you can - there's a ton of help and encouragement. best regards, sherry z <<I guess I am not sure about the diagnosis or the treatment.>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Christy, I too was convinced my PA was from some kind of infection. My rheumatologist wanted me on Humira, but I just didn't feel right about it yet. So I found a an MD who does AP (antibiotic protocol) and interestingly enough he tested me for Lyme disease and it's positive. So more antibiotics for awhile. I don't know if it can turn this around for sure, but it's certainly worth a shot! Anyway, if you still have doubts, I think it's always worth another opinion. -- Kim Kooyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sherry, I guess you were answering me, Christy. It is hard to follow who's talking to whom. I loved the rheumatologist, so I guess I shouldn't doubt the diagnosis. My problem is my lesions were biopsied and called spongiotic dermatitis, not psoriasis. I guess I will have to bring-up my questions with the doctor when I see him next week. Thanks for all the help, Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 , According to recent postings the anaesthetics that dentists use should not contain any narcotics, so you should be fine. However, to be safe I would just skip using LDN the night before you visit the dentist - that's what I always do.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi Janelle, Welcome to our group, I am glad you found us. It surely sounds like you are having health issues that are consistent with what we've experienced on our group. The insomnia, heart palpitations, and fatigue are classic signs...no doubt. We've also had women with some indications of asthma cropping up, and other respiratory issues, as well as the problems with the spine. Sadly some of these women with spine issues have had surgery even, which did not solve their issues. It's because the root cause goes much deeper. We don't know all the biology and science behind the reason for the bone destruction, but we do know it exists. There are sufficient studies to question the effects of silicone on bone...we've got them posted in our files section. In cases of joint replacement, there is evidence of bone destruction near the site of the silicone. It is not a stretch to imagine the implants causing issues to any organs in our torso and chest... Lungs, thyroid, ribs, spine, heart, they're all there....and we've seen issues with all of those and more. The next step would be to start researching implant removal. If you have the funds set aside for implant complications, now is the time to tap into those funds. I wish doctors would require that every woman who gets implants has an emergency fund set aside for the day that she will have to deal with them again. It will not be cheap, and most women don't have that money. Hopefully you do. It is vital that your implants be removed properly! That means that you can't just go to any plastic surgeon, request explant and walk away knowing it has been done with your health in mind. Most doctors do not explant using en bloc or total capsulectomy with drains, but that is what you must have. The goal with explant is to remove not only the implants, but the scar capsule that surrounds each implant as well. It is very important for your long term healing that this is done. We have a list of plastic surgeons around the country, that has been compiled over the years, who have done explants for our group members. Some of these doctors we are not sure of at any given time, as they may change their political stance on us (this is always a controversial issue!), but there are a couple of doctors around the country that we've been able to trust completely and rely on to do a proper removal compassionately. These doctors are: Dr. Lu Feng, Cleveland OHIO Dr. Kolb, Atlanta, GA Dr. Huang, Denver, CO At times we have suggested Dr. Ed Melmed in Dallas, TX, but you must be sure to request that he removes your capsules if you have saline implants. He has not always done so. The women doctors listed above are completely trustworthy to do a PROPER EXPLANT. We love these women...they have done so much for so many women over the years. I don't know where we'd be without their expertise and compassion for us who are sick. I know explant is a scary prospect, but we have compiled a list of things to do to prepare for explant surgery. I can post this list. It will make it easier if you can have the support of some fellow explantees while you go through this period in your life. Finally, in our archives are some letters from one woman that I can think of in particular who had spinal problems from her implants. I am not sure where she is today, but you can read some of her messages by doing a search. I believe her name was e. I hope this gives you a sense of optimism for your future. We've seen many women successfully remove their implants and go on to live a wonderful life, including getting their health back, getting married, having babies, getting new careers. It can be done! So have hope! Take care and God bless, Patty > > > I'm Janelle... I had implants (saline) put in almost fifteen years ago. > I have had some health problems for about 6 or 7 years.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 As far as decorating, I go to s or Hobby Lobby and get various stickers (but not stiff stickers) and put them on it and then cover over the entire helmet with modge podge. The modge podge helps the stickers stay and it also makes the helmet shine a litte. You can change designs anytime, just peel the modge podge off or use alcohol and start over. I have done fire engines and trucks, animals, cute sayings, fish, and elmo. I have not received any negative attention with my son and his helmet. I've actually had atleast 3 other moms come to me telling me their child needs one and asking questions and probably atleast 4 others talk to me about their children who had the helmets and how much they helped, but nothing negative. I have had a few people ask me what happened to my son, but thats not really negative, its just curiousity. I just explain plagiocephaly to them.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 We always bought stickers at Micheals. I didn't use the modge-podge, instead I used clear nail polish.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I took my sons helmet to a bike shop and they did an awesome airbrush job on his helmet. In case you dont feel like decorating it yourself this is always an option! As far as feeling uncomfortable about being in public.... I still feel uncomfortable. I wish I could say that I didnt care about the stares but some days it gets to me. And the plethora of odd questions I get too. Some days I am just not in the mood. Kids love to stare at his helmet much more than adults do though. And then its funny to hear the parent try to explain why he has a helmet on to their child! But one thing I have learned to love about the helmet is that it comes in so handy for babies that are trying to get around. He has fallen back and whacked his head so many times on the floor and has barely made a peep! I also feel like he has added protection when I have him in the jogging stroller or in a shopping cart in case he falls out. One person even came up to me thinking I had the helmet on him just for shopping cart rides! So in a sense I will miss that security once the helmet goes but I still cant wait to get rid of it! 5 weeks, 4 days to go....- Cole in DOCband since 12/1/08From: kirsten.hany <kirsten.hany@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 1:44:38 PMSubject: new member hello, my son had his doc band evaluation yesterday and will be fitted with his helmet in two weeks.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi-- I just wanted to add that there are great decorating tips in the files folder, I used that when I decorated my LO's helmet and the decoration job lasted the whole ten weeks that my son was in the band. I found my insperation for the design in the CT calendar, you can find it on their website if you don't have one. In a nutshell I painted three layers of acrylic paint (drying in between with a blowdryer on low), followed by acrylic stickers that I ordered from stickergiant.com, ending with three coats of modgepodge (also drying between). My thought on the stares and such is that you may have some hard days and may have some fine days. The vast majority of people were awesome. I had one day at the peds office that I dealt with a whole room of staring people and it was tough...I put on my glare face and stared them down in return. I found that it got easier, and much of it had to do with how brave I was feeling that day. When I put on a smile and a no care attitude, things would usually go better. But if you come across that room of starers, remember that you are doing what you need to for your child and because of that, you can keep your head held high.

I will be painting and decorating soon and have a couple questions. After you paint it and put on the mod podge to keep the stickers and paint from peeling how long would that last you? and How did you remove all of that to start over? Alcohol? Are you able to peel off most them you use alcohol to get the rest?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Kim Kooyers, I have suspected Lyme or another tick-borne disease since this all started after a tick bite, but 3 tests for Lyme have been negative and all other tests have been negative too. I did take Doxycycline for 10 days and then for 28 days and it helped both times but did not completely cure me. My PA says that it helped because similar drugs are used to treat PA even though they don't know why they work. I don't know where to go to get any additional or better testing done. What is antibiotic protocol? Thanks for your help and for understanding my doubts. Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I am feeling very overwhellmed right now. My bugs have been in their helmets for just about a month now and nobody has said or done anything even slightly rude while we're out (and we're out a lot.) I had a couple of people politely ask about the helmets, but that doesn't bother me at all -- on the contrary, I think it's a good thing for more people to be aware of plagio. Other than the financial aspects of getting the helmets, it's been pretty much a totally smooth, stressless experience for us. And actually, as I've got one twin still practicing her sitting and the other actively trying to walk, the helmets have been a real help in avoiding head-bumps. Good luck! -Suzanne twins in starband since 12/24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 it really depended on how much paint and mod podge I had. Too much mod podge or paint resulted in it peeling or kind of rolling up like along the edges/sideburns within a few days but not enough resulted in chips along the edges. It ended up that 2-3 light coats of paint and only 2 coats of mod podge worked best. The longest we kept a single one was 3 weeks and I touched up the sideburns once or twice. But we chose to not go longer as I liked to change it out. Yuo have to watch as the alcohol will eat away at the paint or mod podge so you dont want to get that on the outside of the helmet. Yes I peel it all right off, its easy, it all comes off, I could peel the whole thing off in 1 piece even, and then I clean it with alcohol.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Christy, I know you are not a dog but you might want to check out the tick group for dogs. They know a lot of information about tick diseases, where to get treatment and what test need to be run to find what's going on. I never realized there were so many strains of Lyme until my dog came down with it himself and he needed treated.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I had Lyme that kept recurring for almost 5 years. I had the antibiotics for over 10 times. When I was ready to give up, I found my rheumy. He asked if he could test for diseases not in the area. I told him to take as much blood as he wanted. It turned out to be babesiosis.* It came from the same tick as Lyme and had to be treated with malaria medicine. Ask to be tested for it. After my results, he tested several others and found it.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi Marissa, My happy baby got a band a 5 mo and didn't mind at all. She is still a happy kid at 3 yrs. She met all her milestones on time or early and learned to walk while in her band before 10 mo old. If the flattening is mild it might improve on its own, but there is no guarantee, and if you wait too long you miss the chance to band. Banding before 1 year is best since growth is fastest then. If you'r not sure about yourself you can post some pictures here to get an idea about your son's head shape. -christine sydney 3 yrs, starband grad > > I am a new mom and member to this group.
