Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Many thanks for the tip, Nell. I am familiar with Greenspan, and we try to get in at least a couple of hours of floortime per day. What I'm looking for here is more of a biomed angle to this problem. These symptoms tend to come and go, so I'm thinking they could be attributed to something we're doing (or not doing) in terms of his biomedical intervention. cheers, > > > > Greetings all: > > > > I have a small problem I hope you might help me with. > > > > My son is having an issue where he's constantly carrying balls or > > other small toys around in both hands.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Definitely not the antiviral expert here, but hasn't it been said that OC behaviour that cycles can be viral-related?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 That was certainly my first thought too, Rene. By the way, how do you put the accent on the e?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yes, I always suspect viral issues when someone says " the symptoms come and go. " [ ] Re: Cyclical sensory/OC behaviors Definitely not the antiviral expert here, but hasn't it been said that OC behaviour that cycles can be viral-related? René > > Many thanks for the tip, Nell.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Not Rene here, but on our Mac we do alt+e to get the accent, then type the e or whatever letter we need to accent. S S By the way, how do <br> you put the accent on the e?<br> <br> Anne<br> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 There's no easy way of doing accented characters " out of the box " on a Windows PC. You typically have to learn that character's ALT code (hold down the ALT key and then type a four-digit code). I have a wonderful program called Accent Composer that lets me do accented characters very easily. It costs $25, and if you write a lot of accented characters (or currency symbols, fractions, etc.), it's well worth it. http://www.kovcomp.com/acompose/index.html I have no affiliation with this company, btw; I'm just a very satisfied customer. cheers, > By the way, how do <br> > you put the accent on the e?<br> > <br> > Anne<br> > > > _______________________________________________ > Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com > The most personalized portal on the Web! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I type shift, then ', then e. Voila = é. (Though, as you can tell by my voila, I haven't figured out how to do an accent grave yet.) É took me about four years to figure out and I don't expect anyone else to bother with the darn thing. René Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thanks everyone. For the moment, Rene, you remain Rene...

Olive leaf extract and Virastop enzyme helped tremendously. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
