That would be very interesting to see ajsako! If anyone contacts you via

what little I know about this scoring I do know its a way the doctors

rate your cirrhosis. Each stage means different things to them. 4 is

the worst and seems to be where people get referred from transplant

options. Again, I dont have a for sure answer to this question but this

is what I know or remember.

it's been a few years since i spoke with her, but you might try Dr. Regina

Kirkland at Baylor School of Medicine. also, 20/20 had a segment a few

months ago about an orthopedic surgeon who is a dwarf and specializes in

" our " field. you should be able to contact the show via the web to find out

how to contact him.

good luck,

You didnt sign your name!!

You have joined a very resourceful group! If you can let us know where

you are, how old is your son, which meds and how much your son is taking,

perhaps we can make some suggestion to you.

First of all, your son should be involved in cognitive behavioural

therapy (CBT). To explain it very simply: it involves making a list of

anxiety provoking situations and rating them on the amount of anxiety they

cause him. He should be working on exposing himself to the things that cause

him anxiety. This is done daily, which should decrease or stop the behaviour

over time. This is called Exposure and Response Prevention. Talk therapy

does not work for ocd.

OCD effects the whole family. There are lots of books which might help you

feel that you can change the way things are at home. One is " OCD, New Help

for the Family " by Herb Gravitz. Its short, about 200 pages, and explains

how OCD can effect a family.

I'm going to tell you what I tell everyone else: you must take care of

yourself. If you are worn out and ready to collapse, you wont be much use to

your child, or the rest of your family. Try and make time for yourself to do

things which give you pleasure (like taking a walk, reading a book, working

in the garden, sitting in the sun, meeting a friend for coffee, or taking a

nap!) This is so important.

take care, wendy in canada wb4@...

Dear Jim,

Thanks for the links. We just visited a psychologist recommended by our

son's " non-insurance covered " psychiatrist. None of us, my husband OCD son,

nor I felt that this man would be a good match. He was agressive and barely

gave any of us a word in edge wise. It is very frustrating for us. We would

love to stay with our present psych, but the cost is prohibitive. We have to

keep searching, but in the meanwhile our son goes untreated except for the

meds that the psych has prescribed (He is reluctant to start therapy as he is

hoping we will find someone who is covered under our insurance. He's a good

guy to be worried about our wallets)

it there. Hope it works!

Hello!

A friend of mine and I are going through all sorts of red tape in trying to

start an official business making natural bath, body, pet, and so on care.

We wanted a license together --- with both of our names --- but they are

really putting the price up for that and making us double everything.

We have some land and a great building to start in but there are concerns

for high property taxes, insurance and hefty commercial business license

charges. Some are recommending that we choose one of our homes... get one

business license in that person's name only and go at it like that. Making

things in one home and delivering them out.

What I am desperate for is ANY help/advice/information on starting your own

business making the things we share on this list. ANYONE who is

running/operating a business (in home, out of home, in a commercial building

or whatever)... will you please consider emailing me at smile529@...

(unless the list wants the info, too) and give me some type of opinion since

you have already been through this process?

DOES anyone have ANY recommendations for links, email lists or anything that

relates to this? I really feel lost and don't know where to turn or what to

do here and my friend is just now starting in making hand made/natural items

such as we share here.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this! Love, Sandy:)

Shaye you might try something along the line of " Please handle gently "

Or " Due to recent damages, please do not handle the glycerin soaps " or

" Parents, please do not allow your kids to handle the glycerin soaps "

I don't see a problem with it at all....you might include a little line

about maybe pulling the soaps from your booth if damages continue.

Sometime it only takes a single line or 2 to make folks get the message.

Terri, I had this:

In order to continue to provide you with fun and creative soaps, I have to

ask that you NOT poke them with fingernails. I have had many ruined this

way.

Thanks for understanding!

But hubby thinks I should keep working on it. He says, thats not it . What

ETTEK --

Do you mean kind of a fluttering sound? I get this in my "good" ear all the time and wonder if it is anything. It sounds like a really fast pounding and only lasts a few seconds at a time. Hmmmmm.

Isley

[Guest guest]

Hi Etteck,

First of all I think that you shouldn't have stopped the follow-up

visits. As my ENT explains this, it's a life long disease that has

to be watched 'forever'. I had a tympano-mastoidectomy CWD about a

year and a 1/2 ago and I go every 3 mos for a check up and cleaning

as little tumours seem to keep growing back. As for the vibration it

could be a re-occurence, so it's best to make an appt with your

doctor and get it looked at ASAP.

I seem to get that 'vibration' your talking about when I have a

lot of build up in my ear, maybe others in the group have different

experiences.

Take care & keep us informed!!

Kim

> Now I have this vibrating (for lack of a better discription)

[Guest guest]

This makes me mad. I was not given enough information. I was told to

come back for a second look surgery and didn't (got pregnant and was

scared of the general) but he never told me how ofetn it comes back

or that I would need to get monitored forever. It's been 6 1/2 years

and I assumed that I was fine since I am infection free (the reason i

had the surgery). I have even seen a different ENT (my incision got

infected years later) and he never mentioned another scan. Are all

DOctors different in how they treat this after the fact?

Amy

[Guest guest]

Warren:

I suggest that you make an appointment with an Epitologist. He

is an doctor espically trained in the field of all types of seizures. He is

more knowledgeable about epilepsy that a neurologist. An Epitologist

studies epilepsy only while a neurologist has the field of areas of the

brain.

Sounds like you need more extensive tests ran to find out exactely what

types of seizures you are having and that will give him better judgement how

to treat you.

The people in here are of great help to you. The owners and monitors are

always ready to answer questions, and you have to remember, we are all in

here for the same reason, we have seizures and epilepsy. That is the best

support you could ever ask for. Feel free to post anytime.

[Guest guest]

Warren:

It sounds to me like you have at least 2 types of seizures. The nausea

could be an aura or it could be a simple partial seizure. The blanking out

sounds like an absence seizure or a complex partial. When you have a bunch

of them in an hour, that sounds like a " cluster " of whatever type of seizure

it is.

" Partial " means the seizure starts at a focus point in your brain (as

opposed to the whole brain at once).

" Simple " means that you do not lose consciousness or have any alteration in

your level of consciousness.

" Complex " means that there is an alteration (or loss) of consciousness.

" Generalized " means that the seizure comes from all over your brain.

" Partials " can generalize to affect more of your body.

In order to determine exactly what type you are experiencing, I would

suggest you consult your neurologist (or epileptologist--a neurologist who

specializes in epilepsy). The type of medication you are put on will depend

on what type of seizure you experience.

If you don't get an answer to a question from your doctor, keep asking. I

believe doctors should be there to serve us, and if they don't have the

answer then they should find it or send us to someone better qualified to

answer the question. Perhaps some more tests are required to determine the

cause and therefore help with the " cure " /treatment. I personally can't

stand the fact that doctors are happy with the diagnosis of " idiopathic

seizures " meaning " no known cause " . I want to know the CAUSE of the

siezures.

Good luck. (Sorry for the bit of a ramble)
