Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 - Marcie, This is Dena. I think I can help you to understand the different diseases.. You probably know that Rhumatoid Arthritis (RA) can be a very destructive and painful form of arthritis. It closely resembles PA but people with RA will test positive for the Rhumatoid Factor. If you have a negative Rhu Factor but your symptons are consistent with those of RA you may have Sero-Negative RA. In the case of PA(Psoriatic Arthritis) you will almost always test negative for the Rhu-Factor and along with your painful joints and terrible stiffness you usually have or have had Psoriasis. P is Psoriasis red flaking scales or several other types of rash but the patient does not have the pain and stiffness. The general consensus is that you develop P because your cells are multiplying much faster than the dead skin cells are naturally shed. People have always told me that I react exceedingly to all situations (good or bad) and so whenever I have to explain my condition to someone who is clueless to Auto- Immune illness I just tell them that my Immune system is just keeping up with the rest of me and overeacting. Do you ever wish people would stop asking you how you are feeling. I know they mean well BUT I'm so sick of saying " I'm fine " when I almost always feel like CRAP. Well that was definately a VENT for me! Felt Great -I just wish I had the Guts to tell people the truth. Have a happy day!!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Hi Betty! Welcome to the group. I have a 12 y/o son with OCD. You'll find this is a very supportive group with a wide variety of OCD behaviors involved. Lots of good advice and experiences here. I'm still new to OCD too, my son was diagnosed a year ago. His OCD seems to be related to " just right " feelings and to keep " something bad from happening. " I was wondering about the weight loss where you said he had some eating disorder and did his own shopping, cooking, etc. Is any of that due to contamination fears, sort of like his feeling towards his sister? Does he primarily eat only at home? Have you said anything to him like casually " you lose some weight? " but not making a big deal out of it to see what he says? Well, like I said above, there's lots of parents here with years of OCD experience and knowledge and this is also a great place to vent on bad days! Again, welcome!! - single mom to (12) with OCD and dysgraphia; (12-twin) with separation anxiety according to me; Randall (16) - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Hi Betty, You sure have dealt with some real trying circumstances. Sounds like your son stays in his room alot. In my experience that can compound whatever symptoms that exist. I had a sister who retreated to her room during and after highschool, and she developed eating disorders. It really concerns me when my 13 yr old spends too much time alone. Good that your son is working though! I hope the list will be helpful to you, I am still feeling my way through my 2 daughter's anxiety disorders, and have gottem lots of help here. Welcome!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Betty, Welcome to the group! Wow, you have really been through it. I am always in awe of those of you who have been dealing with OCD for such a long time and are still alive to tell about it. Your tenacity and patience is to be aplauded. I am the mom of a 15 yo who was officially diagnosed about a year ago, but whose onset was gradual at around 13 yo. He suffers with hyperresponsibility (form of scrupulosity) as well as an eating disorder. He works out compulsivly and although he eats pretty well, does not eat enough to support his activity level. I was particularly concerned when I read of your son's possible eating disorder. You are right, many of the new activities may be contributing to his weight loss. However, I would keep an eye on things. I think we really began to realize had an eating problem when he had so little energy and his face got so thin. It was like this was the last place he could lose weight. 's ED revolves around his decision to " eat healthy " . He eats very little fat, sugar or high calerie food (he will eat meat and we are pretty big on pasta). It would be a perfect diet for a 80 yo man with hardening of the arteries. Do you think your son's " picky " eating revolves around avoidance of " non-healthy " foods or avoidance of " contaminated food " ? I know that now that your son is 18, it will be very difficult for you to do anything if he is not willing. Heaven knows, it's hard enough with a 15 yo! Thanks for posting and keep us posted on how things are going. This is a great support group...at times, my only sanity. Melinda S.

Hi Betty! Welcome to the group! My youngest son, (10), also has the classic 'contamination' fears, mostly about germs and getting sick, and DEATH in general. He's far too young to be carrying so much weight around on his shoulders. I tried to take some of that off for him by reassuring him CONSTANTLY, but that only fed the fear and made it stronger. It's been a long, hard road. 's OCD started when he was only 5. It was heartbreaking for me because his fears were stealing his childhood. He's having a good week this week and even got a great report from his teacher who said, " is definitely succeeding in the mainstream environment. " Music to my ears!!! Over the summer, I had another DIFFICULT decision to make-- keep him mainstreamed, or put him in a 'self-contained' classroom. I opted for mainstreamed AGAINST everyone's advise (the therapist, the teacher, the spec. ed teacher, etc). Even my husband was in favor of taking him out of the regular 4th grade classroom. I stood my ground. So far, it's working, but who knows what NEXT week will bring! Anyway-- sorry to ramble on and on about MY life. I don't have any advise as far as the eating disorder. But, I do know how frustrating it can be to have a teenager who refuses medication. My middle son, , 18 (with ADHD+mild OCD) also refuses meds. How does your daughter HANDLE the idea that her brother thinks she'll contaminate him? How is her self-esteem?? In some ways, I'm more concerned about those that have to LIVE with an OCDer than the actual person with OCD. My son has been NO PICNIC to live with, and he's only 10. You'll find lots of support here. This group of fan-tablous people have been worth their weight in GOLD!!! Stick around, ok?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Hi Liz! Welcome! I love this group so much because I meet like-minded people, and not just about vax issues! I am a SAHM to two lovely children aged 3 and 5 (almost 6 - where does the time go?) I have caught flack from family and friends (but mostly family) since before my first was born - for everything from not circumcising to family bed to extended breastfeeding (my son was over 4 when he weaned) and of course including not vaccinating. My mother is a nurse and thinks that Western medicine is just the cat's pajamas and I am of course putting my children at great risk, blah blah blah ad nauseum. Yes, it helps to be informed, to know the numbers, to have the names, but I have found that over the years of touting numbers and sending articles that they still just think I'm a quack. I can live with that, if it means my children are safe. My son had a reaction to an early vaccine - I was erroneously and maliciously told that no ped in my county would see my child in his/her office unvaccinated (along with a barrage of other, non-complimentary comments on what kind of parent I must be). My mother was visiting at the time and I actually had to ask her to leave my house! My daughter has NEVER been vaccinated, although she has had many adverse affects from anticonvulsant drugs given without my consent during ER trips (she had a stroke at 10 months and both children have seizure episodes of " unknown origin " - so much for Western Med, huh?) Keep up what you know is best for your children - the way I figure it my mother got to do what she thought was right with her children, now it's time for me to do what I know is right for mine. I will do it with or without her support, but it would be easier with it. Hope the info from this list is helpful for you! a in MA --- Liz <sandoz@...> wrote: > Hello- > > Thought I'd post an intro so if I ever chime in on a > conversation you won't wonder who I am! > > I'm a SAHM to two boys.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Welcome to the group. Shoes are the key. Look back in the archives. This group suggested Ryka tennis shoes. That made all the difference in the world to me. I'm sure a nurse could wear those to work. I looked a little silly as a teacher in dresses with tennis shoes, but everyone was very supportive. I have also been able to wear several brands of clogs: ph Seibel, , and Birkenstocks. You can also look in the archives for every medication that could possibly come up with your rhuemy. I have found that to be a wonderful resource. It alerted me to many side effects or complications that were never mentioned in the literature or by my dr. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Can you tell me how to get to the archives? while I play on the net a lot, the are new ground to me. I wear sneaker's all the time. I only wear rockports at this point, as they are the most confortable. I long ago gave up worrying about whether they went with my clothing <G> I worked as a school nurse and luckily could wear pretty much what I wanted the last few years that I was able to work. I'm legally blind now, so I'm not able to work anymore, though that seems to be from the MS rather than anything else. I couldn't work now anyhow. NO energy at all. Thanks for pointing me to archives. Just tell me how to get there, please. thanks RE: [ ] my intro > Welcome to the group. Shoes are the key. Look back in the archives.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Thanks . I have been reading a lot in the archives. Right now at work I'm wearing anywheres clogs, which are very comfortable to me. One thing that is nice is that I can kick them off when I'm sitting for a few minutes to rest my feet. I haven't found any tennis shoes I can wear because most of them don't have enough toe room, so I haven't worn tennis shoes for the past several years. It sounds like I should check out these Ryka shoes though. I've also been reading about all the meds in the archives because if my rheumatologist recommends something, I want to know about it before I agree to try it. I'm going to see him on Feb. 4th. I work in a hospital, so I have access to quite a bit of medical literature-- drug books etc, which is helpful as well. My other plans include getting a health club membership so I can start swimming and starting yoga classes too if I can afford it. I've been considering getting the book Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative by Dr. Pagano, but he sounds so cocky in all of the excerpts I've read. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I've enjoyed reading all the profiles on the webpage for this group. I'd like to add a picture of my foot if possible. Thanks group for all your experience and useful tips and information!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hi Becca, Thanks for joining this group and having opened your mind to this issue. You and all the other medical professionals who are able to do that are really a gift to us. As more and more do so, our chance of turning things around greatly improves. Can you please point me in the direction where you read about the former head of the AAP? (You wrote: " When I read things like the fact that the number of " madatory " vaccines for infants increased from 8 to 20 in the 1990's and that the doctor who was in charge of the American Academy of Pediatrics has now decided that maybe this increase (which he was responsible for), wasn't such a good idea, it makes me furious. I want to stand on top of mountain and shout to every parent in the land to wake up. " ) I seem to have missed this or have forgotten about it. Thanks for any help you can give.

IN ADDITION, THE FACT THAT THIS EMAIL HAS BEEN FORWARDED IN NO WAY NECESSARILY IMPLIES ENDORSEMENT OF THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE AUTHOR OR AUTHORS OF THE ARTICLE OR EMAIL. My intro Hi everyone! Thanks for letting me join your list. Here's a little info about me. I was a paramedic and emergency room R.N. for 15 years, now a stay-at-home mom raising 2 boys, ages 15 and 10. I've probably give thousands of shots in my career. I have been reading tons of info on the net over the past few months about the vaccine issue. I am totally convinced now that vaccines are harmful and it makes me furious what we are doing to our children. The funny thing is that when my 10-year-old was a baby, I opted out of several vaccines for him based on nothing more than a gut feeling at the time, including the Hep. B series, HiB, and varicella vaccines. However he did got the others. My son was homeschooled for kindergarten and 1st grade and has been in a few different schools since then, so the school nurse this year has just caught up to the fact that he is " behind " on a few shots. I have already filed a philosophical exemption for the Hep. B series, but he is still supposed to get his last Td and IPV. I would like to sign the exemption for these, too, but the school nurse wrote in a letter to me, " I don't recommend it. " I'm not sure what she meant by that, but the tone of the statment concerns me. To complicate things, my husband is a Nurse Practitioner who as we speak is vaccinating hundreds of people in the county where he works with the flu vaccine. He thinks all anti-immunization people are nuts. He already got his flu shot and tells me every day that the kids and I should get one, too. My 15-year-old son always had a terrible reaction to the DPT vaccines as a baby, and it makes me wonder now whether some of his problems like trouble sleeping and concentrating could be traced back to those vaccines. When I read things like the fact that the number of " madatory " vaccines for infants increased from 8 to 20 in the 1990's and that the doctor who was in charge of the American Academy of Pediatrics has now decided that maybe this increase (which he was responsible for), wasn't such a good idea, it makes me furious. I want to stand on top of mountain and shout to every parent in the land to wake up. I have a niece who is pregnant with a baby due in March. I am trying to figure out how to talk to her and her mom (my sister) about this issue as well. Maybe I can make a difference in one baby's life. Anyway, that's why I'm here. I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you. Sincerely, Becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined the list because I have 100 pounds to lose and just started doing 's FoodMover. I've never posted as I'm not quite sure what to say. But I do read all the messages daily. Welcome! >I weigh 212, am 5'4 " , 32, single mom. Make sure to pick a realistic goal weight. Losing 100 pounds might be a bit much. >My problem is that I am absolutely starved. I am so starved I have headaches and cannot think I'm so hungry. I'm doing the 1600 calorie sheet. Go up to the 2000 cal card and see how you feel. I promise that the starving feeling will go away. Your body just isn't used to having its calories limited. Try reducing your sugar intake. I find that when I'm doing good on Sugar Busters that I don't get that starving feeling as much.
