Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Hello , Wow. I am sorry you have been treated so shoddily by " professionals " . I do not have Chiari, my six year old daughter had decompression surgery two years ago. I only recently found how to register at wacma. Anyway - has a very high pain tolerance. From what I've read so far, that seems to be true of most Chiari patients. So for you to say you are still in pain, that means it is probably off the charts! In advocating for , these are the things I learned the hard way........ Keep a copy of all medical summaries for yourself. You might need to sign a form or something -- like when you release records for another doctor -- but these copies are for yourself. I keep 's in a 3 ring notebook with the most recent copies on top. Her records go with us to each appointment, every specialist. Hand carry any films, x-rays, MRI's, etc. to appointments requiring them. These can get lost between busy offices. Some specialists take an agonizingly long time to get into. Besides asking to be put on the waiting list, I called every morning to see if there were any cancellations. Every doctor we see gets a picture of for their file. It helps me to know they cannot look at her file without seeing her face. Maybe that's silly -- but it helps me to know they see her as a person, and not simply another interesting case. I think you will find a wealth of support here as well as answers to some of your questions. I still read everything I can get my hands on!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I am stepmom to a 17 yo BP daughter, whose mom is also BP (undiagnosed). She lives with us full-time. She's not as bad as some I've seen here on the board although it's all relative. We each live in our own hellish world. What works for us is LOTS of structure, clearly set out expectations and consequences, and sticking to them. As parents, you absolutely cannot backslide on them. You have to be a team with your spouse. Her dad and I are do that but we cannot co-parent with her mom, due to her mom's own BP issues. Keep reading SWOE and there is also a workbook. I've seen others on the board recommend NAMI, if that's available in your area, and also Al-Anon, in terms of support groups. Make sure you make time for your other child, and make sure you make time for your spouse, as a couple, and you both make time for yourself. I know it sounds absolutely impossible, and it might be at first. But you cannot let the disease control you, nor your daughter's behavior control you. Others will have advice -- there are contracts that can be entered into although she's still a little young, at 15. Keep reading and posting here. We will be a support group for you and I think you will find a lot of comfort just in reading even if you don't post. You can learn so much just from reading! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Let me start by saying that I truly know how you feel and I feel for you, your family and your daughter. You have received some great advice here and I just wanted to reiterate some of it. School, special ed, county mental health. Here in California, these are crucial to helping deal with and finance this diagnosis. Also, I feel it is fortunate (if I can even use that word), that your daughter was diagnosed at her age. My daughter was diagnosed at 15 (6 months ago), she is now 16 and it is less overwhelming to know we have some time on our side. The school district is obligated to provide an education for our daughter. She is currently in residential treatment and as of last night's phone call - sounded wonderful. Prior to her leaving she was cutting, using drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, manipulating, raging . . . hospitalized. We knew that if something drastic wasn't done we would not have her with us for long. We couldn't treat her at home - things were way beyond that. We really feel that she is in a good place. There are a lot of resources here on this board - just ask. Wishing you and your family the best. DISCLAIMER This e-mail message is intended only for the personal use of the recipient(s) named above.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Timi, Sounds like your dau was molested. Was she? At what age? Did she receive counselling? The first thing a molested child learns, no matter the age, is sex is power. And we all know the BPD child like to have lots of power. Seems her need for sex has a power over you. I would suspect more drugs than you mentioned. 'Whippets', nitrous oxide, from the whipped cream cans now can be bought w/o the whipped cream can and is used to enhance sexual climaxes. Also I would be concerned about 'X' as in Ecstacy/ Extasy as it is known to deplete saratonins by over releasing saratomins. This also enhance sexual climaxes. , blu_cricket -- In WTOParentsOfBPs , " dextermagu " wrote: >................ > * In the past 4 months she has stolen my car in an attempt to not > have police come to house.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 , She claims she was never molested, inappropriatly touched or abused in any physical way. i have racked my brain to think if there ever was a time when something seemed " off " or if she was ever acting out as a child, and can't come up with anything.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Timi, At at early age, my daughter seemed to act like an " abused " child. To my knowledge, she was not. However, she had the strong sense of abandonment, and divorced parents who did not/could not get along (dad has bp traits). This was hell for her. I always felt she would improve once her dad and I were away from her. I feel that was true. He lives clear cross country, right now we are in different cities, but her choice, she will be moving back near us, not with us. I think sometimes it's just the pain that they are in coming out. I used to say a lot of " I am sorry you feel this way " s, or I am sorry you are hurting. She has definitely calmed down, and the rages are few and far between. My daughter rejected meds, too. They made her tired. I think subconsciously she knows something is out of kilter, but will not truly admit it to herself, or especially me. There is mental illness on both sides of her family and I think she is in denial. Carol --------- Re: New to Group > > > Hi Timi, > Sounds like your dau was molested. Was she? At what age?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Does your son work or go to school? Does his wife and the baby live with him in your In Law apt? Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Dear , You've come to the right place. Your son has symptoms almost everyone can identify with, and you've obviously done everything you could possibly do for him -- a definite characteristic of parents on this list. Have you read Stop Walking on Eggshells? It sounds as though you are probably sacrificing much of your life to try to keep him stable, and there have got to be ways to make things easier for you. For example, keeping him out of your house at least part of the day, leaving him to deal with his own breakfast, establishing consequences when he damages your property and refuses to respect you or deal with you in a calm way. One plus is that he has his son to live for. My daughter is another one who, when in a bad condition, will not eat. Her last few months in school it sounded as though she only ate when someone took her out -- not the sort of behavior you want in a young adult (she's 22). She's back at home, but learning how to stay out of our space, not being so demanding about meals and food, and so on. I don't know how to describe it, she knows we care, but she also knows we aren't going to put up with all her tricks. Somehow we have convinced her that we will not abandon her but we expect a certain degree of behavior from her. We are careful not to demand more than she is capable of, but enough so that we can occupy the same space without killing each other. We and some others on this list have used contracts or written statements. Bpds can't keep things straightened out in their minds and it is sometimes helpful if they have the ground rules available for reference. We started out asking her to wash the bathtub and help with the cooking. Also to be out of our bedroom by 10 p.m. When she said later that she just couldn't promise to help with the housework, we adjusted her jobs to doing her own things -- doing her own laundry, cleaning up after her move home. We also instituted non-cooking days when everyone takes care of their own meals. One thing about being out of our room: we initially said she had to be out by 10 (she watched TV with us and then would be in and out looking for things while we were trying to sleep) but let her know she could come in and see us if she was just too upset and couldn't stay by herself. She did it a couple of times, but hardly at all anymore. So we have ground rules that make it possible to co-exist even though she still has almost all her bpd issues still to deal with. She is in no way even close to being able to function as an independent adult, but she wants to be. Apparently your son is not going to keep himself in treatment. Is there any way that you and your husband can get help? My husband and I have spent almost as much time with psychiatrists as our daughter has, and it (along with the people on this mailing list) has kept us sane. We are in family therapy right now, but that is because our daughter has decided she'll go along with it. Best of luck to you. Stay in touch and remember that you have rights, too.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Dear I think your son has you and your husband right, exactly where he wants you. He is manipulating and controlling you to his advantage. Like Debbie advises, I too, would advise some serious boundary setting with him. He NEEDS to get a job or if that is too anxiety ridden for him at the moment, then he NEEDS to have many household chores assigned to him to compensate you for allowing him to live rent free in your home. I asume you also feed him as well?? Well, he is an adult and needs to be REQUIRED by you to act like one. Until he realizes he has responsibilities as a member of your family, he will never improve. He will develop some self esteem if he contributes on some level to his own survival-------room and board. How on earth can a 24 yr old feel anything but bad about himself when Mom and Dad are STILL taking care of him? Perhaps you could find a chapter of ALANON and/or NAMI to help you to set boundaries with him. Otherwise your life nor his will ever improve.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 No, he has never been able to work. He is industrious but can't meet the demands of daily expectations ie start times etc. He becomes so overwhelmed that he rages. They all live in the MIL but she is moving out. He and my husband will care for the baby while mom is at work ie their version of joint custody. I work full time so help out after work. > > > > Does your son work or go to school?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I am so impressed with your boundary setting. Whenever we have tried to ask him to help, he interprets it as us not wanting him around. He twists things then he rages and threatens to leave. When he leaves, he does self destructive things and it takes months to get him back to something that resembles normal. He despairs so easily that we never know what we are going to trigger. Our experiences with psychiatrists is that they don't know too much about borderline. Everyone wants to diagnose him as bipolar and put him on meds. All the meds did was make him sleep 20 hours a day and gain 80 pounds.I can sure relate to the coming into the bedroom. He used to walk in at any hour and flip on the lights. At least now he knows better than to do that. I have read the Eggshell book and will reread it. Has anyone really discerned the cause of BP? Is it chemical, environmental, genetic? I am seeing less and less of the sweet son I once knew. He has always had mental issues but I could reach his core. Now it is so buried with anger, despair and self hatred. He feels so powerless and such a failure that he projects all his fears on us. We are pretty worn out and wonder what his future will hold when we are gone. ....> wrote: > > Dear , > > You've come to the right place.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Welcome Tammy, and congratulations on your surgery. A young patient has many less problems than an old(er) one like me...so thats in your favor. It takes a big committment to do everything you are supposed to do, but it sure is worth it baby.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I am new to the group. Would like to say bonjour ro eveyone. I look forward to sharing ideas and insights concerning FMS. This week has been a horrible week for me both physically and emotionally. Trying to be postive, as Scarlett would say " Tomorrow is another day " . Would like to know about PEN PALS?
