Don't you have to sign consent for HepB? Of course neither my husband or I

signed and they still gave it to our daughter. That is why I tell everyone

who doesn't want their child to receive this vaccination to make a sign like

breastfeeding mothers do to put in the isolet that reads " no HepB vaccine " .

Barbara -

I am not in the education field and have steered clear of it due to similar

concerns. I too wonder when I have interviewed for internal positions if I

was denied because my stature may make the client " uncomfortable " . There

doesn't seem to be a way to find out if that's true. They aren't going to

tell you it is because of your stature because of legal ramifications. I

would consider contacting them and asking them what qualifications you are

lacking for the position and what you can do to make yourself more

marketable to the education field. This may give you a better indication

whether it's them or your credentials.

All the best and thank you for working with our future.

Question....

From: Barbara Brullo <tobubba@...>

Hi All,

I'm a graduate student, president of my local LPA chapter, and I'm an achon.

Anyway, the question I have has to do with being an lp and and educator. I

currently teach pre-k and went on many interviews before landing my job.

Many times people would spend an hour with me, take me on a tour of the

school, introduce me to other staff members and then I'd get a rejection

letter a week later. It troubled me for quite some time...was it

discrimination or was it just that I wasn't qualified? Anyway, I was

wondering if anyone else went thru similar situations? Also as an educator

have there ever been times when you felt your size was a disadvantage to

your career? I realize that I'm asking rather personal questions, but being

new to the field and feeling that I'm out of my league sometimes, I could

really use some words of wisdom.

Thanks

Barbara

I agree with Debbie. Although I did not use the DOCband, I have heard very

good things about their evaluation of babies. It does not seem to be their

practice to reccommend a band if it is not necessary.

Definitely not I have only ever found DOC clinicians and the DR's associated with them to recc. what is best for your child and some mothers can tell you that when they took their kids to the clinic or the neuro that they recc. to continue trying to reposition etc. for another month to see if there were any results and then to come back for a reevaluation to determine if helmet therapy was the best option. If you aren't comfortable with the DR once you see them then go see another-and better yet go see a DOC clinic for a free evaluation from their perspective. In the end if you follow your mommy instincts you will know what is right and best-but don't think it will be easy. I remember wanting them to tell me I had to do this and it was the only and the best decision for my son- I questioned and questioned myself if I was doing the right thing and then cried for days once he was casted and then a week after he had the helmet I couldn't believe I had stressed so much about it-and it was smooth sailing from there. You will be in our thoughts-keep us posted on how the appointment goes. Best of luck!

They will only band your child if it IS necessary. They aren't in it

to sell their product & just to make a buck. I've heard parents say

that Cranial Tech. said their child's case was " too mild " to band.

Or they also had the parent reposition for a month to see if the head

would improve on it's own.

I went to Cranial Tech. in Chicago, I cannot say enough great things

about them. I've never had any professional treat Abby as if she was

their own. They truely are wonderful people.

Stef,

I'm new to all of this & have just visited a rhemuatologist for hand

problems. What do you mean by " waiting the suitable time for transient

arthritis " ? In my post earlier today I mentioned that the dr. said I could be

" sub-clinical " . Is that the same thing?

Geri

[ ] question....

I feel bad for never posting to this group but I have

a question and was wondering if anyone could help me.

I was diagnosed with RA last year (after waiting the

suitable time for transient arthritis) and had a

pretty bad time with it at first. After going on

Vioxx and preds (7.5 pretty low dose), I was better

but still had some pain, low-grade fever, etc.

I moved back to Texas (from Ireland) and started

feeling much better. I ran out of my pred and Vioxx

prescription and it took such a long time for a Rheum

Dr to see me that I ended up on no meds for quite a

while. Even with that, I felt much better than I had

while in Ireland and on 2 meds. I still had pain and

redness once in a while but not like it was before.

Is it possible to go into such a remission even with

no meds...or do you think it was something other than

RA all along?

Now I am pregnant and feeling fine (the Ob said that

it is common with RA patients to go into remission

with pg). I was tested for the RA factor and it is

still negative (has been ever since diagnosed). How

many of you are still sero - after a long time? How

long does it take for this to usually show up as + in

the blood? Also, would pregnancy cause you to be -

when you were + before?

Thanks very much for your help and I hope everyone is

having a good and pain free day :-)

Stef

hi stef, i have been sero negative for 7 years now. but they are now leaning

towards reactive arthritis and fibromyalgia. i wish you continued success and

congrats on your little one on the way!!! kathy in il

Hi Stef. I¹m still negative after more than 25 years with RA. I¹ve had 2

children and my tests were always negative. I went into remission with my

first, and stayed in remission until my second pregnancy. During my second

pregnancy, I flared and my disease became more aggressive. Approximately 20%

of us diagnosed with RA have a negative RF. Congratulations on your

pregnancy. Some are lucky and have remission after childbirth, and others

find symptoms get worse. I hope your remission continues.

Not necessarily. Your children should be tested if they are over 2

yrs old though, just to be sure. HepC CAN and is passed on to

children but it's a low chance. My daughter even grew up using my

razor and she doesn't have it.

If your children do not have it, their children cannot get it from

you unless there is a blood to blood transference.

Hope this helps!

PS When I say " up here " I mean Ohio. I'm staying with my parents

right now till I get Caleb's helmet. Dave comes home from Iraq the

beginning of July, and I want to hurry back to KY to meet him when he

lands. He hasn't even seen Caleb yet. Well, anyway, didn't want to

confuse anyone with the doctor calling me on my cel phone. So,

thought I'd say I'm still here in Ohio. Thanks,

,

From what I recall, the ps in Nashville has a unique protocol where he

marks the helmet interior at fitting and at check-ups to direct the

ortho where to make adjustments, and then sends the baby over to the

ortho facility to have the adjustments done. This is not the usual

protocol for the majority of other helmet/band brands - usually the

orthotists themselves handle the fitting and adjustment decisions for

the duration of treatment.

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Was on anti's 6 times in 2004 and thats when i got yeasty.

==>Years of antibiotics can definitely cause candida overgrowth. In

fact some people can acquire candida with only one dose of

antibiotics because it wipes out the good bacteria, particularly in

the digestive system. But candida does not get wiped out by

antibiotics.

Hi, I've never posted to the group before but love the information

that can be found here. I'd like to know if ground cloves can be used

somehow for tooth pain ? My husband has many problems, not the least

of which is his teeth. Recently, he had pressure,swelling and pain.

I used a small amount of olive oil with 3 drops of clove oil. He

applied it with a Q-tip. I'm afraid that all supplements will either

be unavailable soon or priced too high to buy (we're living on a fixed

income). Thanks so much for being here....

I have never used ground cloves but I believe they might work. I have used straight clove oil sometimes mixed with tea tree oil and that took away the pain for awhile.

I have a friend who has MS, is taking LDN, and is also taking tamoxifen....Could the tamoxifen interfere with the LDN? I know it blocks estrogen but I do not think it is an immune supressor...

Hi Sharon,Tamoxifen does not appear to be an immunosuppressant, but I would suggest contacting Dr. Skip Lenz for his opinion on this particular drug. He can be reached atslenzrph@...Sincerely,Dudley Delany
