Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi Vicky, Welcome. We are just about to travel ot Florida for our second visit to Growing Minds. I would love to hear more about the approaches that have worked for you and your family over the years. If you have time would you be able to give us a run down ? Both educational/ biomedical and any others. Thanks, Jane newbie saying hello HiI thought I should post a quick intro as the post about fillings was my first to this group. I recognise lots of names here from various boards over the last few years, lol. Special hi to Vicky *waves*!I'm mum to an eight year old boy with ASD, though he's nearly falling off the top of the spectrum now. He's always ben high functioning and atypical, I haven't had to do that much biomed with him, mainly enzymes and homeopathy (both have worked wodners for him!) We also went to Growing Minds last year and will be finishing with them in June - this has also been fantastic for us all. The issues he has now are more to do with social and emotional immaturity than really specific to ASD so we are trying to help him catch up. There doesn't feel a great deal of urgency about this as he is very happy and balanced and doing well in mainstream school (a far cry from three and a half years ago!) but I want to get him a far as possible out of any difficulties before he goes to secondary school (currently in year four)About all there is to say about us I think!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi I think you might end up teaching more than learning! We're taking Tom to Growing Minds in July. He's non verbal but soooo close to speaking - i.e. he's using syllables and sounds and emphasis but just not recognisable as words. Tom is 7, profound regressive autism - i.e. fine until 2 and a half then BOOM. Really looking forward to GM (and Jane has been a wealth of info) - any more info you don't mind sending me here or off list (not strictly biomedical of course) very very welcome Steph x > > Hi > I thought I should post a quick intro as the post about fillings was > my first to this group.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi Jane I will try and get some time over the weekend to write up Tim's story so far (in brief, lol!!) We are saving to go on holiday to Florida in a few years (will take a while, lol!) and plan to visit the team at GM, 'cos we love them so much!! > > Hi Vicky, > > Welcome.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hi everyone, I'm Leigh from UK. I'm 30 and suffered with CFS, depression + fibro to some degree since around 1997. About 7 years ago things started to deteriorate and have been on a downwards cycle ever since. Following a bad pregnancy and then having to have my tonsils out due to chronic tonsillitis things spiralled lower and lower at great speed. I was officially diagnosed almost 3 years ago. I am registered disabled and am in the process of being terminated from my job as apparently they take issue with less than 50% attendance followed by a year on the sick!!! LOL. I'm fighting our government at the moment as they say that I am fit enough to work in some form and I disagree. I've been married 7 years to a wonderful man who luckily for me is very helpful around the house and 95% of the time very understanding of my conditions. We have a 3 year old son who although full of energy has grown up with me being ill and is therefore very tolerant and has adapted well to what I can and can't do. We try and do lots of things together that don't affect my mobility like crafts and reading. I've just been approved by my doctor today to try LDN and am also on 150mg lyrica 2 x a day and cymbalta 30mg am and 60mg evening. Then I take diclofenac sodium 3 x a day. I was taking tramadol or solpadol for breakthrough pain but now can't take these with the LDN so will hopefully be managing without. ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
