Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 , Thank you for introducing yourself and telling us about . I'm very impressed that diagnosis of plagio and tort was made at such a young age; it is such an advantage to be treating plagio and should translate into great correction. I'm sure you have read that many of us went months before our pediatrician addressed our concerns. That is fantastic that you are starting PT for the tort. Our daughter, Remy, did not have tort, but it is very common and a lot of parents here can give you great support on dealing with it. Tort can really undermine repo success, so as you resolve the tort issue, repo results should really ramp up. You sound like you have done your research and have a great game plan. If you need any additional help or support with repo, please check out the LINKS section of the group in the REPOSITIONING folder - I recently added a bunch of products and info. Also, you can check out the progress photos of and two Lukes, who are younger babies currently being repo'd. We were able to use repo only to treat Remy's plagio, and she also has progress photos in the PHOTOS section, if you would like to take a look. There are also some photos of using repo techniques/products in the FILES/REPOSITIONING HEADQUARTERS folder that are really informative and cute, if you haven't already looked there. I'd love to see a picture of . Please let me know if I can be of any help. Take care, Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy) > I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hi ! Welcome to our group! Definitely count yourself fortunate that your Dr. was even familiar with tort & plagio. Sadly, most of ours were not. Luckily, you have caught this early enough to try repo. We tried with Trentyn, but his tort prevented us from being successful with it. Keep us updated on how is doing.

I am on Prednisone 5 mg daily(low dose)and a Zoloft now for my depression. I take Darvocet and Tramadol for pain, and vitamins of course.

When Dr Carson started me on MTX and Folic Acid - he told me it could take as long as 3 to 4 months to start getting any relief. I gave it the time and it did start working. It was the 1st drug that they gave me that I remember helping. I don't like the fact though that it seems you have to continually increase the dosage to get relief. It may just be me though...and that I was flaring bad this winter and they kept increasing my dosage. Hopefully, it will recede this summer.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I hate needles, always have and have always fainted before even getting a shot! I now get Humira injections and they hurt, sometimes worse than other times but they really hurt. I just have gotten used to the thought that it will be over in a matter of minutes and it's worth a few minutes of pain to ease years of pain. My husband gives them to me, I still can't do it. He's going out of town in two weeks so my friend is going to give it to me. I'm trying to talk her husband into taking Humira so we can't have him around when he sees me get mine. I put a pillow over my head and grit my teeth but I don't scream and cry anymore. I just kind of try to go " out of my body " for a short time, as crazy as that sounds. I keep trying to think of something else but it's not easy to do. I think that is something like survival instinct or whatever it's called. The pain of that shot is worth it to me if there is any possibility of it working. Last night I saw my little inspiration at Wal-Mart, a little girl in my children's school (I think she's now going into 5th grade) that is diabetic. She does 3-4 shots a day plus finger sticks all on her own and has for many years. If that little baby doll can handle it, I can't complain. And, with my aunt getting her leg amputated, I keep thinking I'm glad I have a leg to get it in. Becky [ ] Hello Hi all... Am wondering, isn't there anything med-wise for RA available that doesn't involve needles?! ** cheryl ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi Becky (and everyone)... Well, I'm pretty sure my husband couldn't be giving me shots, for one thing, his hands shake pretty badly. For another, I don't know that either one of us would have the courage or the stomach for it. Yes, it's great to see the little ones carrying on so bravely, but then if they've always dealt with something like that, then it doesn't seem 'abnormal' to them. They can take it more in stride because it's what they've always known. Wish I could bottle that! I also have GERD, so I am unable to take most of the pain meds via pill form, but I am so not into getting shots all the time, so I guess I will be stuck with increased disability and pain. About all I can manage is Tylenol Arthritis. Not sure about ANY of it! too many side effects, seems like. ** cheryl ** > I now get Humira injections and they hurt, sometimes worse than other times but they really hurt.

But it is really neat to be a part of this group where we all have something in common and can find awesome support through some of the harder times, especially as our children face the surgeries etc. I look forward to hearing from you soon.. Leah blepharophimosis Hello Hello,I come from a family of bpes from scotland and am very grateful to have found this website. After 32 years, three operations and two children (one with bpes) I have finally found out the name of my syndrome, what it is and how it is passed down. Although I knew the condition is unusual I didnt reaslise how unusual!My daughter Mia at the age of four has had her first surgery (brow suspension) which has been a great success. With regards to the infertility aspect we do not seem to be affected as my Father who has BPES has three daughters two of which have BPES and who both have children.I would be happy to hear from anyone who wants to chat.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 e, Welcome to the group. I too am 32 and come from a family of BPES. I live in Ohio. My father had it as does my grandfather. I have it and have passed it on to 2 of my sons. My oldest son, who will be 11, is finished with his surgeries, unless the surgereon feels he needs to have the bridge of his nose raised. His results were fantastic. My youngest son, who will be 6 on the 22nd, has had 3 surgeries so far and is going in this Friday for his brow suspension. The surgeon has already told me that he will need at least one more surgery when he is a teenager. He too has a very flat bridge, but nothing has been said about that yet. It's so flat his glasses won't even stay up. Again, welcome to the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
