Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I have used Melatonin for my 12 year old with anxiety issues on suggestion by his doctor but hadn't on Danny. I didn't realize there was a liquid form when he was younger. Now, I don't give to my older son either because I read that Melatonin is from a cow's brain and there might be a risk because of mad cow disease. Didn't think of asking the pediatrician about it at our last visit. Does anyone have any knowledge of this being a danger? I would love our little man to start sleeping on a normal schedule and I know the melatonin worked like a miracle for . Danny sometimes doesn't go to bed until 1 am and it really has a negative impact on his school performance for a day or two. As for the dentist...This past visit is the first that I didn't leave the office looking like I'd been in a wrestling match, and lost! BUT, we have never done X-rays or fillings. Yikes that is a scary thought. Tabitha, mom to Danny (6 DS), Bethany 10 and 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabitha, mom to Danny (6 DS), Bethany 10 and 12 >>>>>>>> One thing about the dentist, he/she does have to gain Danny's trust, regular teeth cleanings without pushing it to far helps. You shouldn't need to worry to much about cavities if you're having his teeth cleaned every 6 months, brushing regularly . Forget about the xrays until you really think he's ready. You can then introduce the thing gradually backing off if he's really objecting, that gives him a chance to gradually except the idea. It might help to have him watch you or one of his sibs get xrays done to, just to show him that it doesn't hurt. I think was around 11 or so when she had her first xrays done. Now the dental office we use has one of those that goes around the head so it's not a hugh deal for her. lol She did have fillings earlier and that was a nightmare, we went to that ped. dentist a few more times but quit and took her to our family dentist for cleanings, that was a MUCH better way to do it. She did just have a filling put in, that was a nightmare,(she just turned 15) so make sure that you get those teeth cleaned regularliy and you probably won't have to do the filling thing. :-) joy......who needs to call and get her an apointment. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi Jodi Thanks for writing back. It does smell musty in the house and my nose gets irritated. What are the air tests you mentioned and how do you get one done? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks nne -- [] Digest Number 2374 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 If it smells musty, you probably have mold in there. But, to confirm the extent, you should get the air tests. Be careful who you hire, because all this is still an unregulated market. I don't know where you are, but you should be able to get an certified industrial hygienist (mine had a Ph.D.) to do the testing. Sorry, sounds like you could be running into big problems there, but the air tests will tell you the level of spores in the air. Don't hire a mold re-mediation company to do the testing, as there would be a conflict of interest. On May 4, 2005, at 9:35 AM, MARIANNE wrote: > Hi Jodi > > Thanks for writing back.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi : MJ says that the LTV gives her a more natural breath than the BiPAP ever did. With the LTV, MJ says it feels more normal. It doesn't have the constant flow of air like a BiPAP - which is air at two different levels. MJ switched from the BiPAP to a LP10 and a PLV initially and did fine with it. She switched to a LTV when the weight of the PLV vent broke her recline function on her chair. She tried it at night once and never looked back. When I was talking to (RT at Pulmonetics) the difference between the two is in the motors and how the vent gives a breath. The LP10 and PLV give a breath from start, where a LTV is ready for the breath. The LP10 and PLV are like a straw to drink with...when you take a breath, you get a lot of dead air space first through the tube, and then the air arrives with the pressure. The LTV the air is waiting for your next breath, so you get it right away, like a straw with a valve. I hope that helps. Good luck! Thank you & Alana! What is the difference between an LTV and a BiPap that makes MJ so much happier? I have never loved the BiPap but I just an curious what the difference is. Also does anyone know what the difference is between a LTV and a PLV (also recommended by Bach) is? I¹m trying to figure out what to ask my doctor for...  caregiver to MJ, 19, SMA type 1 http://www.our-sma-angels.com/Margaret/ - MJ's website http://www.our-sma-angels.com/b4sma - MJ's organization Remember that everyone on this earth is equal under the heavens above We all have been given this gift of life and can all share in God's wondrous love Stay true to yourself; always follow your dream and keep your eye on your goal And most of all, follow the feelings in your heart and always be true to your soul ~Parole Amica~ ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
