Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 My elder son had everything and went from near genius status to a non verbal frustrated wreck. My younger son had thimerosal in half his vaccs and no MMR. He is eccentric but has friends, can read and draw and is thriving. Who knows what pulled the trigger with TOm but we're not risking MMR with his brother. He'll have single vaccines in the next year or so, well spaced and when he's in optimum health. For what it's worth. I will never never again trust " herd " instinct. I believe in the vaccination programme but if I knew then what I know now, I would have gone about the whole thing very very differently > > I have a friend that is worried about the MMR vaccine for her young daughter.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Nasreen - Tom does not have fragile x chromosome, generally this has a distinct physical look - big ears, pixie like features and an unusual head shape. Autism is not simply chromosomes, we know that's not the sole reason and can't be, although chromosomes, in my cloudy memory, can make a child more " male " which might exacerbate autism. But not create it. > > > > In a message dated 17/02/2006 14:54:35 GMT Standard Time, > > moppett1@ writes: > > > > Personally but this is only MY opinion.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 We haven't applied yet...so don't know. Question Anyone who is in the Gammassist program: How long was it before they contacted you? When I filled out the forms for both boys the first SCIG infusion the site said they would contact me in a few days. That was on the 9th. I have yet to hear from them.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Pattie -- Are you committed to the mini-med set? If you don't mind trying a very low tech set (where you place the needle yourself and don't have the flexible " string " that stays in them), there are so many other options. It just depends if you want to keep working with what you have, and possibly face the same thing again, or if you want to try something new. I have heard that, for some kids, the mini-med can cause more trauma (though minimal) than a low-tech needle because it is slightly larger than just using a 6mm needle solo, for example. My husband took one look at the mini-med needle and got nauseated -- so we tried a different set. Of course, we had several failures before we could find one that worked with my child. Every child is just so different. There is no " one size fits all " .

I have heard of Neuro-feedback, but what is this? - Here is a pretty good explanation of CBT - I hope it helps. LT Just what is CBT? How does it work? Cognitive Behavior Therapy combines two very effective kinds of psychotherapy — cognitive therapy and behavior therapy. Behavior therapy helps you weaken the connections between troublesome situations and your habitual reactions to them. Reactions such as fear, depression or rage, and self-defeating or self-damaging behavior. It also teaches you how to calm your mind and body, so you can feel better, think more clearly, and make better decisions. Cognitive therapy teaches you how certain thinking patterns are causing your symptoms — by giving you a distorted picture of what's going on in your life, and making you feel anxious, depressed or angry for no good reason, or provoking you into ill-chosen actions. When combined into CBT, behavior therapy and cognitive therapy provide you with very powerful tools for stopping your symptoms and getting your life on a more satisfying track.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi , It's Cognitive Behavior Therapy which is explained really well in all the books about OCD. My son's therapist's 1st book choice for us was 'Freeing Your Child From Obsessive Compulsive Disorder' by Tamar Chansky. I had to read it twice cuz I was in shock during the first reading I think. There are tons of other good ones and the libraries even have quite a few of them. Part of CBT is ERP which is 'Exposure Response Prevention' and is the " behavior " part of CBT. The OCDer exposes himself to his fears (the easiest ones first) and refrains from doing the compulsion/ritual (whether it's physical or mental). This adjustment in behavior actually physically changes the brain and it gets better for the long run. Medication is sometimes used to bring the anxiety level down so that CBT can be done. There seems to be no doubt that CBT is the best way to treat OCD. Not all therapists know how to do it, however. Lots of help on this site on these subjects.

The OCD Foundation should have info on this, or a good " google " search for OCD, CBT should turn up descriptions.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Neurofeedback (also referred to as EEG biofeedback) is a well studied treatment approach for some issues such as ADD and seizure disorders. It has also been used to treat migraines, sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression. I’m sure there are many other issues that can be helped. EEGSpectrum.com has lots of good information about it and I’ve included a recent article that I just saw this morning. Clinic Reports Dramatic Results Treating Autism, ADD Without Drugs 3/21/2006 7:00:00 AM To: National Desk, Health Reporter Contact: A. of Busystreet Media, 404-876-4570, 404-245-8080 LOS ANGELES, March 21 /U.S. Newswire/ -- She was a mother without hope. Diagnosed with autism, her six year old son, EJ, bit other children, threw tantrums and chairs. " He had no future, " says Beatrice Tan, whose family stopped going to church because it was too risky to put EJ in the nursery. Now, after several months of specialized, neurofeedback therapy at Drake Institute of Behavioral Medicine -- http://www.drakeinstitute.com -- in Los Angeles, EJ no longer bites: he hugs. He has friends, and " we have hope, " says Beatrice, now back in church with EJ and husband, Ronnie. " We see autistic children coming out of their social comas, it's huge, " says Dr. F. Velkoff, Drake's medical director, " and children with ADHD making big learning breakthroughs " -- all without the kinds of drugs often prescribed to control out of control kids, like Ritalin, and recently called risky by the FDA. " In the long run, these drugs have not been proven to be safe; they're quick fixes that short-change children, " says Dr. Velkoff, a long-time critic of recklessly prescribing drugs like Ritalin and Adderal for learning disorders like ADD. " These drugs should be used cautiously, and only prescribed for children for a limited period of time, and as a last resort. " Of course, there are extreme cases requiring medication, " he adds, " but at Drake, our goal is to eliminate the drugs wherever possible, and use our advanced neuro-feedback to help children close their developmental gaps. " A physician with a master's degree in psychology, Dr. Velkoff reports dramatic results for most of the 100 autistic children like EJ that Drake's four clinics have been treating over the last year. " We're excited whenever we can help jump start a child's life without drugs, " he says. Instead, Drake uses advanced biofeedback technology it first developed to treat learning disorders like ADD and ADHD, then modified for autism. Over the last 25 years, Drake has treated more than 5,000 children for attention deficit disorders without drugs, he says, then last year began focusing on children also diagnosed with high-functioning Autism or Asperger Syndrome. In treating their ADD, Drake staff found their autism symptoms dramatically improved as well. " Like a lot of accidental advances in medicine, we stumbled onto it, but it's working, " he says of Drake's medical mystery. " We think it helps these children rewire brain synapses, so life starts to make sense. " To make sense of their surprising progress, Drake cranked up an initial clinical study of 18 patients, all children with autism disorders and poor social skills. After 20-40 neurofeedback sessions, parents reported children were not only responding to peers, but showed a new awareness to the feelings of others, says Dr. Velkoff, whose clinic is planning a joint study with the world-reknowned University of California at Irvine Child Development Center to further document and understand " how and why it's working-and what works best. " " EJ used to ask, 'Mommy, why don't I have friends?' " says Beatrice Tan in a videotaped interview on Drake's website, www.drakeinstitute.com. " I'd say, 'You have to be nicer, talk to them, don't take their toys, share!' It's no longer a problem. " " Unfortunately, we can't help every child with autism, but we've seen big improvements in three out of four children we treat, " says Dr. Velkoff. " Parents tell us they keep getting better even after treatment ends. We hear, 'it's a different child' all the time.' Their lives begin to blossom.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Not an MD but a licensed health professional speaking here if you seek help for treatment, it would be the doctor's rsponsibility to state if you were fit for practice/work. However, writing a script for yourself and filling it, no one is the wiser unless you tell someone. That is done more than the public realizes. §6530. Definitions of professional misconduct. Each of the following is professional misconduct, and any licensee found guilty of such misconduct under the procedures prescribed in section two hundred thirty of the public health law shall be subject to penalties as prescribed in section two hundred thirty-a of the public health law except that the charges may be dismissed in the interest of justice: Obtaining the license fraudulently; Practicing the profession fraudulently or beyond its authorized scope; Practicing the profession with negligence on more than one occasion; Practicing the profession with gross negligence on a particular occasion; Practicing the profession with incompetence on more than one occasion; Practicing the profession with gross incompetence; Practicing the profession while impaired by alcohol, drugs, physical disability, or mental disability; Being a habitual abuser of alcohol, or being dependent on or a habitual user of narcotics, barbiturates, amphetamines, hallucinogens, or other drugs having similar effects, except for a licensee who is maintained on an approved therapeutic regimen which does not impair the ability to practice, or having a psychiatric condition which impairs the licensee's ability to practice > > Are there any doctors on this list who can comment about whether the medical > profession allows a doctor to seek psychiatric treatment and still continue > practicing medicine? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
