There is hope

[Guest guest]

Sandy,

That is great news, Bre is doing so well and we are all so very happy to

hear her accomplishments. Her strength and progress inspires all of us, and

gives us the hope to keep fighting back the OCD. Keep the Faith!

Hi All,

I wanted to share this with you all. Bre went to Disneyland yesterday

with band. She went on the Haunted Mansion ride! For her that was a

big step! She has avoided in the past anything to do with ghosts! She

told me it was good exposure! I am so proud of her. It is great for us

moms when our children face a fear that in the past caused alot of

anxiety. She did have anxiety but she bossed it back. Just the fact

she didn't avoid makes me realize she is learning the skills her

therapist has taught her. Thanks for listening.

Hi all, Just wanted to let everyone in the middle of the battle know

that there is hope that your children will overcome . I was just

looking back at my wife's post starting in 2001 and can't help but

notice how many of today's post sound just like what we we're facing

when got diagnosed with . is 11 years old now and has

for the most part outgrown his cyclical fevers, he was on a 17 day

cycle for about 5 years, 21 day cycle prior to that and 30 day cycle

when we first noticed something at 8 months old. was violently

sick when he cycled, however a couple of years ago we noticed that he

would skip a cycle once in a while, now, we notice little to no signs

of , a few bad mouth sores now and then and still sudden migrane

once in awhile, but no consistant cycles. Our immunologist told us

years ago that our hope rested in outgrowing , whether that

has happened or God has answered our unending prayers, I don't know. I

just remember years of heart-ache watching suffer and wanted to

pass on whatever encouragememt I could. also has High functioning

Autism, so the battle has been long, but what an awesome kid he is!

P.S. We tried prednisone twice, didn't like the experience and

couldn't take the cimetidine because of his sensitivity issues caused

by Autism. So for us it was alot of Motrin and prayer.

[Guest guest]

Another thanks for posting your reply of hope and something positive. I've

often wondered if there are plenty of cases of children that grow out of

quicker and they don't get involved in groups like this one. Maybe that's just

me being hopeful and guess we'll never know. I'm happy for your son and your

family. What are the signs of high functioning autism? Was he diagnosed with

that condition before or after the fevers started?

Thanks,

carol

's autism manifested when he was about 18 months, which is

classic timing for these kids. High functioning autism is just one

form of a broad spectrum. The average person on the street would

probably not notice anything wrong with . If you where to spend

some time with him however you would begin to notice his struggles

and delays. His biggest struggle is comprehesion, much of the way you

and I see the world and process information is foriegn to him, he is

a bit of a loner but excells in some areas such as math, until it

becomes languaged based that is. His memorization skill is

incredible, if it something that interest him, (video games, Disney

movies, some music). He is very affectionate, which is a blessing,

many kids with autism show no emotion. I don't know what the long

term holds for , we just enjoy him day to day.

Please don't give up. I know the fear that sets up when the thought of not being able to rid yourself and home of these things. There is more and more information out on the internet now than there was 2 years ago. Read all you can. I had no hope for my little dogs and I had to loose them over this, now there is a site that actually tells how to use Clorox on your pets to kill off the skin mess and detox their little bodies. http://www.holisticvetpetcare.com/felines-skin-allergy.htm

There is hope. Rita
