Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hi, my name is , and I am the mother of three kids. My oldest, 6, has High Functioning Autism. We are moving to an apartment until our home in Illinois sells. This apartment is located at I-77 and Route 18. We do the 'diet thing', and I homeschool. I did use the public school system for two years of preschool, and I tried to use it for Kindergarten, but I gave up. I am also homeschooling my typical 4 year old son with the same curriculum. I might contact whatever school system we move to in order to get language therapy again. Unless that school has a super system for handling autistic kids, I'll continue to homeschool him (them) though. Does anybody recommend or not recommend school districts/schools? I am also looking for a physician who will allow us to continue our exemptions to vaccines (oldest was fully vaccinated and yougest is unvaccinated, middle son is partially/selectively vaccinated). Thanks for any help in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Yes, , the GFCF does seem like a piece of cake now a days... except I can't make cakes much with the SCD and GFCF together! I'll be getting testing results soon for my son to see what else we can do to further his recovery. ~ n laura6307@... writes: n, Doesn't the GFCF diet seem like cakewalk after the SCD (we started GFCF when Ethan was three)? It is my hope I can eventually get rice back in them. We also had them eating raw fruits and vegetables, so cooking them until they are mushy takes up a lot of time. What other tests are you getting?

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 The carrot cake recipe in the Breaking the Viscious Cycle book is pretty good. That is what we had at Ethan's 6th birthday in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Dear yes, This is the last place you have to worry about sounding like a whiny person. Expressing your feelings about a disease that is more than a little unkind to those it attacks is not whining. We understand here, so feel free to vent any time and welcome....laura theonlyerinyes <erinye@...> wrote: Hi y'all, I am new to the group so I am going to introduce myself. I am a 33 year old female.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Welcome yes. I hope you can find an rheumy asap so you can get treatment for RA. Steroids don't treat the disease. All they do is help with inflammation, but they have serious side effects when used long term. The longer you are on them, the harder they are to wean off of them. You need to be on a medication that treats the disease. I have a lot of information about these meds on my site: http://arthritissupport.info RA is a disease that goes through periods of flares. When you were told it was inactive, what it probably meant was that you weren't flaring. Don't worry about feeling like you're whining. We serve whine and cheese every day here and there is no limit. a On Oct 29, 2005, at 11:12 AM, theonlyerinyes wrote: > Hi y'all, > > I am new to the group so I am going to introduce myself. > > I am a 33 year old female.
