Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 ,my daighter was diagnosed SID when she was 11 months old.She is now 33 months.I am here totell you it has been HELL!!!!! She never sleeps,eats,she throws fits,etc.The brushing therapy helps.We also massage her with olive oil and use a mouth massager on her.You can also use a rubbermaid container and fill it with different kinds of beans and let your child run his hands through it.It helps with desensethisizing.My hild has such extreme oral defensiveness.She is terrified of food.She is going to a feeding clinic on Tuesday in Cincinnati.We also use Houstons enzymes which helps tremendously.We swing her alot,especially in spandax that helps with calming and spacial awareness.I ordered some music and games from Amazon that is for sensory kids.I hope some of this helps...........ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Michele, It sounds like you are off to a good start. SID can be the hardest to deal with on a daily basis. The brushing is good, and if you could get Dad involved with things like Play Doh and clay and rubbing lotion on the little guy's legs and back, that would be great too. One of my son's and my daughter's favorite things in the beginning was a Ziploc freezer bag full of hair conditioner and a couple of tiny toys. They can poke and pat it and find the little cars or dinosaurs or whatever and it feels good, too. Have you checked for an ear infection? My children did not sleep at night until they got relief from their chronic ear infections. Also, if you are interested in way out there things to try, we use a therapy magnet mattress pad under our son. Finally, he sleeps through the night. I'm sorry my reply is so disjointed, but with two on the spectrum, we don't sleep much. Hope this helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Patti,we had her hair tested and we get those results back on Wednesday.I know this sounds awful,but I am kind of hoping she does have mercury.I am so tired of not knowing what is causing her to be like this.Every test,doctor,etc.has either been negative or they have no clue.At least this way we will know and be able to help her..........ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 ne, The hair test may not show mercury...usually other metals show up first. My grandson's hair analysis revealed aluminum toxicity but did not reveal the mercury. For mercury to show up in hair I think the exposure to mercury has to have been recent.
