Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Karac use to have a few nights like that. Melatonin never worked for him. The only thing that ever worked was Clonidine. LOL, Pat Help Caleb has been up since 2 am and Is still going strong. I have given him 3 mg of melatonin and 2 tsp of hydroxyzine. Both are to help him sleep but not lately. He is drawing his superheros at the kitchen table. He has to crash soon right!!!!!! Lol Sent from my iPhone Gwen Hebert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I wish I had an answer for you. My son tried melatonin and clonidine, which neither worked. My son takes Lamictal and Abilify. He takes a 5mg tablet of Abilify at bedtime. Most times he goes right to sleep. I hope he went to sleep for you at some point during the night. ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hello dear , I am guessing you are talking about wrinkles and lines? You have to be very careful what you use on the delicate area around your eyes so I use a serum instead of a cream. I personally use the Natural Perfection Cellular Repair...and I use my Natural Face Lift kit around the eye area to help tighten and firm the area around the eye. Both can be found under anti-aging skin care at my web site. You should also be sure to do the Reflexology points around your eye area, above the eyebrow and below the eye at the cheek bone when you do some LifeLift breaths. It can really help to increase circulation to your skin which can make a huge difference in the area around the eye. Be blessed, be healthy and take good care, Rashelle Harness the Power of Oxygen. It is Oxygen that burns fat. Age better, look better, feel better. www.oxygenlift.net help The skin under my eyes are just looking horrible....I have no clue what to do...moisturizers and eye creams, I have tried....ANY SUGGESTIONS please....!!!!! Got my 40 done, Got my 40 done, Awake with the sun, Got my 40 done! MARY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Ask to sit in the class for couple of days and see what is going on. If she is as bad, then why should you expose your son to an angry situation? Many teachers can not tolorate Autistic kids, they are in it for the money. They do not undrestand. If it was my son I would pull him out before he begins to regress. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi, Is there anyone at the school that you have a good relationship with? My sons guidance counselor and the principal are very good at helping us find solutions to personality conflicts. I would try talking to the new teacher first and seeing if she is willing to make some changes in how she deals with your son (yelling probably isn't helpful to any child in the class). If she doesn't seem willing and the grade changes don't convince her then I would go to someone who has the authority to make her. You have the right to insist she follow his IEP and to call a meeting if you don't think it is being followed or if you think you need to make some changes due to her personality. I hope you get this worked out soon, Kellie From: jess0187 <jess0187@...>autism Sent: Thu, December 3, 2009 11:03:14 PMSubject: HELP My son is almost 7 and is in first grade.the first half of the year his teacher was awesomely wonderfull followed the iep to a T.Well at the end of October she had to take maternity leave till almost february.He hates the new teacher says she yells to much and it makes him extremely nervous.His grades went from A's to f's i have spoken to another mother her son is the same way same situation.Gets up in the morning screams fights kicks hits runs away says he is quitting school.Finally gets ready in the knick of time daily.Comes home happy to be home then homework time comes and another meltdown/battle.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm glad you are having a meeting. Maybe just talking about how your son is sound sensitive and that yelling makes him this upset will help. If not maybe he could wear a pair of ear muff head phones when it gets to loud. I know it won't help his anxiety about her yelling at him but it might make her more aware of how much she is yelling and at least lessen the noise when she does. Not sure if this helps but I really hope you can find a way to get through to her.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I had morning palpitaion+sewating when I took all my drugs at once. Then I found drugs really did not have steady lasting effect for 24 hrs. Hence, I divided my meds into 3 groups: bp meds (half at 23:30, half at 8:30), vitamins (all taken with main meal, away from bp meds, because some mineral vitamins reduced effect of bp meds like Norvasc). Aldosterone I learned was produced mostly at night, so I take my Spironolactone at 23:30.
