Greetings,

Just back from the S700 in Angola and now in Equatorial Guinea.

Seems they are keen to keep me and my relief for now as ex pat medic's. The

place is very basic for medical support, in fact the closest place for a

decent clinic/hospital is in Douala - Cameroon. Certainly makes life more

interesting, especially as it seems to be the capital for cerebral malaria

over there in Guinea!!.

Oh wee, 4 weeks off from those pesky mozzies!!

Hi " Chickiemom " !

Are you kidding?? We are ALWAYS here and you've certainly come to the right

place! Although some of us have children with different secondary dx's, ALL

of us have children with Down Syndrome and most with secondary dx of autism!

has ADHD and I feel your frustration when you say you are stressed over

your child's behaviors! Don't feel bad......we've been diagnosed with this

ADHD for over a year and a half and have STILL not come up with the right

combo of med's for him! It's truly a rollercoaster ride of trying this and

trying that and trying to figure out which dx is causing the behavior.....DS

or ADHD??

Feel free to ask questions and vent.....that's what we're here for......and

your emails will go to everyone on this list.....not sure just how many of us

are here, but there are MANY!

Tell us your name, too, by the way!

supplies

Hello everyone,

I am just really getting into this soaping thing and looking for places in NY for oils like veggie oil, coconut, palm kernel, sweet almond oil and etc.

I really don't want to buy these heavy items from clear across the country because of shipping.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks againOur members maphttp://.homestead.com/locations.htmlOur Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Special Invite for membershttp://soapwerks.com/martinrectangle.htmAll posts to this list are copyrighted by post author.

Dont know of any link HV posts but in our area Barnardos Family Centre

are doing a grand job by sending out a minibus (we are a rural area) and

taking in mothers and children for a day out to the centre including free

lunch and wonderful facilities.

"fill" the gap between the LD team, Health Visiting and Social Services.

Is anyone aware of anyone currently undertaking a similar role?

Dear Judy,

Cambridge had a project called Parentability which supported parents

with a learning disability- I was put in touch with them once around

1998 through the voluntary sector umbrella group Directions Plus

(01223-569600)which may also know of other more recent initiatives in

East Anglia.

Good luck,

Woody.

Dear Judy and Woody,

I think 'Parentability' is a section of the National Childbirth Trust and

information could be found through them.

Hi, I have constant pain in my lower back (sciatic disc/nerve) damage

from lifting my 14 yr old daughter for many years. the pain travels

down my right leg continuosly, and occasionally down my left leg. I

cannot sit through the day at my job as an administrative assistant,

needing to get up frequently to relieve the pressure on my back.

Also, I cannot sit through a movie at the theaters any more.. just

too painful. I still have 2 disabled daughters (both have Spinal

Muscular Atrophy)who rely on me (as a single mom) for nearly

everything. I've been told to remain as active as possible (which I

try to do) and it seems to only make the pain/ knot just over the

sciatic area/ bruising in the same place worse. Because I am a single

parent, I cannot take the medications that 'knock you out'. I have to

be alert in case something should happen! Are there any medications

out there that will help alleviate the pain and will NOT make me go

into a coma (like flexeril and soma do). Some days I can walk fine,

others it is extremely painful to walk! I have 3 (soon to be 4)

dogs! They are my furry children, and bring great pleasure and

companionship to my girls. I am looking forward to meeting all of

you!

Hello Kathleen welcome to the group. I too suffer from sciatic nerve

pain in my left leg constantly and sometimes my right. But last dec I

had a dorsal spinal stimulator implanted and it does help with some

of my pain. It will never be 100% they say if you get 50% you are

lucky. BUT before I got this done even with tons of strong meds I

could not walk or sit hardly at all. You might check into this with

your dr. Also check out the links section you will find some help

there too.Also have you tried taking Nuerontin ??? It blocks nerve

pain and is a pretty good drug for sciatic pain. I have been on it

for 2 yrs now and I know it helps me a lot. Best of luck I hope this

helps you some. If you want to know more about the stimulator I'll be

glad to help. Again welcome to the group. Sharon group owner

Hello and thanks for letting me join the group. I have had back

pain for a couple of years but last year in September my leg and hip

started bothering me and after several x-rays, dr. appts, therapy

and finally a MRI, they told me I had herniated discs in my lower

back, I believe L3-4, L4-5, and L5-6. Anyways I had a decompressive

lumbar laminectomy to relieve the pressure off of my nerves. The

surgery helped immediately. Then in February of this year, I was in

a car accident which resulted in a neck injury. I had neck surgery

in September to remove a herniated disc C-4,C-5 that was pressing on

my spinal cord. I still have a little bit of pain but it is much

better. Anyways, thanks for letting me in the group to talk with

people who understand my pains!!!
