Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 >Hi all, > Being relatively new to OCD and all, I'm not familiar with the acronyms for many of the co-morbid conditions that people have described. Is there anyone who'd be willing to jot down a few with the full names (and 1 or 2 sentence description/common symptoms) of some of the more common conditions that appear with OCD? I know about ADD/ADHD, but what's PDD-NOS? It doesn't sound like there's a lot of kids with " just OCD " but that's all I can name so far in Kelsey's case. Your help here would help me be more vigilant for other things.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 Kellen is " just ocd " too (that's enough IMO) but her doctor mentions each visit how she's very likely to develop comorbid disorders, he's watching her closely. We're always waiting for the other shoe to drop . . . Kathy R. In Indiana > It doesn't sound like there's a lot of kids with " just OCD " but that's all > I can name so far in Kelsey's case.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 Hi Kel is not currently exhibiting any behaviors that would suggest she may have other diagnoses besides ocd. But her doctor tells me it's unusual for a child to have ocd alone, that ocd often occurs with other disorders in the ocd spectrum such as Tourette's, ADD, depression, bi-polar, etc. :-( Kathy R.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't remember what the full technical name for CBS is (cystathione beta something?), but it is usually just referred to as CBS. It's one of the SNPs we look at, one of the enzymes in the methylation cycle, the one when up-regulated raises ammonia. UAA is Urinary Amino Acids test. Trina Marcia <mmorrison@...> wrote: Dear Group, I'm ploughing through emails and articles, trying to understand this stuff better, and I've tripped over two abbreviations I don't understand. Could someone please tell me what CBS and UUA mean? Thanks in advance, Marcia on --------------------------------- The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Search Marketing.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 What is SSRI ??? SSRI = Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. They are the first type of meds used to treat OCD. They are actually anti-depressants, but it takes a higher dosage of these to treat OCD than to treat depression. Put simply (in my words, doesn't mean medically accurate, LOL), they block the " reuptake " of serotonin in the brain and thus make it available longer to the brain (that is, it doesn't increase serotonin by somehow " making more " but prolong/increase the availability of what is already there). The cause of OCD isn't really known, all the neurotransmitters may be involved with OCD, but for some reason this type of medication helps with OCD! Hope this helps and didn't confuse you!

This means that they didn't find any leukemia cells in the sample but of course it doesn't mean that you are cured, it just means that they didn't find any cancer cells in that particular sample. BMS was the name we used to call Sprycel before it was given an official name. It's also called Dasatinib BMA is Bone Marrow Aspiration BMB is a Bone Marrow Biopsy CCR is Complete Cytogenetic Response which is when your cytogenetic test comes back at zero AMN is what we used to call Tasigna before it was given a name. Tasigna and Nilotinib are the same thing, one is generic and one is brand name. I hope that helps, Tracey **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
