Guest guest Posted June 2, 1999 Report Share Posted June 2, 1999 Kathy R.: When we faced the issue of school evaluation with my daughter , our psychologist suggested that he sit in and conduct his own evaluation...working with the school, but also independently. She was upset by the tests, so I'm glad he participated. He also helped the school understand OCD and ...and I think she would have suffered had he not. Good luck! in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 Dear Doc: Just for clarification for all, are you talking a year as in 48 weeks?, or a calender year of 12 months, or 52 weeks? Also, while people with genotype 1a and 1b should be on for 48 weeks, if their viral load is undetectable during treatment, and their liver functions are normal, do you ever recommend going beyond the 48 weeks?, or just waiting for the lab results at post therapy and 6 months? I think if you could clarify this it would be helpful to all. Thank you, Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 Thanks Diane and Jan for your compliments regarding my pic. It's just me and hearing you both say that I'm beautiful makes me feel better inside and out. Plans are set . . . Dad arrives in Indy on Oct 9 and we'll pull out Oct 10th, westward ho! (No, I'm not calling anyone a ho!) Dad figures we'll take 5 days to reach Oregon and I like the sounds of that. He and I will take a leisurly trip back, stopping at hotels and breaking for meals. It'll be good for us both . . . and I honestly can't wait to get home to see my mother. She and Dad were just here in August but . . . well, it's not the same as going home as far as I'm concerned. I got in touch with a very dear, precious friend that lives in Puyallup, Washington, this evening. She and I have been friends since the old Army days (1974-76) (geez, am I that old?) and our paths have crossed every so often since we both were honorably discharged way back when. She and her partner have invited me to come up there for some R & R which will be awesome to do. I spent nearly a month with them when I'd had my terrible accident in Texas in 1987 and they are cleaning out my room. It's awesome to have good friends . . . and I truly value the friends I have made here. You are too much and I love ya all for it. Thanks for standing by me through these tough times . . . I promise I'll be better soon. Just to think about relaxing gets me sleepy. I'm off to bed, hopefully to dream something nice and good . . . I hate those vivid dreams that make you want to wake up and stop the world. Pleasant thoughts to you all. Love ya, SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Hey did I tell everyone I got in touch with the SS office the other day and I told them to check their records to see that any check received until Oct. 3 was a direct deposit made into Marleen's account and that myself or Kristy is not responsible for the paying back of over $800..They said but you are the payee..I said yes but not until Oct. because she also took the Sept. check.She deducted some out of it and reimbursed the balance..I also told them I have had Kristy since Aug. 27 so how could an 11yr. old child cost over $4000 in less than a month..I just mildy suggested they investigate Marleen's records concerning Kristy...So they said Kristy's check WOULD NOT be effected until another decision was made!! Yes I am patting my own back as we speak!!!!!!!!!! Go ahead Diane...JUMP and say GO GIRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hello Dave, Eat what you can in moderation - just watch what causes mild or more severe reactions. Get a list of low, med, high and super high salicylate foods and steer clear of the high and super high - eat sparingly, usually one at a time so you can tell if you are reacting. Although I reacted to many high salicylate foods I found that a combination of predisposing factors usually caused the sensitivitiy - not just the food or smell. You don't have to restrict yourself completely and if you do make sure you take a decent multivitamin. Organic foods are naturally higher in salicylate, as are unpeeled foods. I'm going wheat and similar grain free as much as possible as this gives me more energy. Keeping clear of dairy simply helps lower the amount of mucus in my body as dairy is mucus forming - all tests show that I'm not allergic or sensitive to dairy. Because my mucus membranes are always inflammed then they can't cope with mucus forming foods like milk. However, a portion of dairy a day - half a glass of milk, or a couple of tablespoons of sour cream, don't seem to be a nuiscance. Watch out for food colourings and preservatives, especially the latter. You're better off eating a fruit and vegie diet than buying processed foods, then cutting back on those fruits and vegies that you find cause you problems. I've found cutting back is easier than going onto a full elimination diet and sticking to it. I'd only stick to that when testing for what effects me - it's too hard to stay on and it isn't safe long term as it can lower your tolerance and make you worse. Re the dizzyness. My mil was having dizzy spells due to coming off prednisolone quickly. I didn't know it could cause nausea and dizziness like that. My immunologist and info off the net recommend Singular (Monteleukast) for triad sufferers. I'm giving it a go - third month so far and no relief, but with a rampaging sinus infection I'm not surprised. - what are the leukotriene antagonists you are on? > >I find myself drooling over the foods I can't have. The trick is to have nice things you can eat always on hand. If you have treats that you can eat and pop them into your mouth straight away you don't feel so deprived. It's hard. Home grown and cooked food always tastes 100% better than any take away - it's just that I don't always want to cook! Can folk snip off the emails they are replying too before they send - it makes it easier to read the digest version?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Beverley, Thanks for the guidance. Since eliminating dairy and wheat products from my diet several years ago, my meals have featured lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, oranges, fruit squashes - and, lo, they are all high in salicylate. I've taken your advice and obtained a list of low through super-high salicylate foods - and I'll tread carefully from hereupon in. I totally lost my sense of smell 27 years ago, and have only regained it twice (for a few days) - each time after an extended course of prednisolone. After the second operation to remove polyps, the surgeon said I had a real chance of regaining my sense of smell. It didn't happen - and here I am waiting for operation #3.
