Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks Tammy. I think I am going to cancel our follow up with the doctor. We have scheduled an appointment with another doctor. We did switch to the diary free version of the Culturelle probiotic. I am thinking of switching to Kirkmans pro-bio once we are done with the Culturelle. He seems to be tolerating better so far. We are on our first new food trial in ages and so far so good(fingers crossed). Does anyone have a good protocol for healing a leaky gut? We think that should be our first thing to go after.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Gillian, I joined a few weeks ago and feel the same way you do. Just finished reading the book, have made an appointment with a pediatric neurologist and developmental pediatrician, started the fish oils and I am still not sure I am doing all that I should be doing. I am suffering from severe anxiety over this and not coping very well. I am also thinking there is a possibility that my 3 yr old son may suffer from fragile X and am waiting to have him tested. I have found some encouragement in this group but still feeling very scared and overwhelmed.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi Becky and Gillian- I just wanted to offer some encouragement.?? My son has been in speech since 18 months of age.?? He has hyptonia and dysarthia (low muscle tone).???? He is now 2 years 6 months.???? I felt the anxiety you both express and cried many a tear over not knowing how to help my son.???? For a very long period of time he could only say the consonants " B " , " M " and " D " .?? I despaired that he would never speak.????? I write with encouragement because with the addition of a new therapist who specializes in Oral Motor therapy here in Orlando in combination with a great lady that comes to my house, he HAS progressed.??? In the last month alone he has increased his sounds to 22 letters of the alphabet including all of the different sounds the vowels make.?? He still is not saying many words but today he said the number " four " .????? Don't despair.???? Don't be discouraged.??? Keep persevering.??? I sometimes think the worry that he would never speak has been good because it has pushed me to do more and more for him.??? Dont' give up hope, your child will talk and succeed in his/her own time.???? It just is a tribute that you are both wonderful mom's that you do worry about your children and want to do the best.?? That's all we can do each and every day.???? My only other words would be that if you don't feel good about who you are seeing for therapy, think about changing.?? I've had 3 therapists and the most recent has made more progress with him than any of the others in just 4 weeks.?? Keep looking, there are great people to help you child out there.??? Best of luck to both of you! Sue [ ] New to group Date: Thursday, July 16, 2009, 1:56 PM ? Hi everyone, I just joined this group looking for support.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi and welcome! My son is 2 and also has apraxia and sensory issues. In addition to speech twice a week, he does OT with an OT who specializes in sensory issues. She started us on the brushing protocol ( has sensory defensiveness) where you brush the child several times a day and do joint compression. I feel that this has helped with his sensory issues, esp brushing the palms of his hands and soles of his feet has greatly reduced his tactile defensiveness. We also do a therapeutic listening program with a specially made headset and CD's that is supposed to help with both sensory issues and speech and I think this has helped too. In terms of preschool, I am looking into a preschool in the speech language and hearing clinic at a local university. It is specifically for preschoolers with speech disorders. I live in STL and there are 2 programs here that I know of. There might be one through a university near you. Hope that helps! > > > From: blingmedesigns <grob@...> > Subject: [ ] New to group > > Date: Thursday, July 16, 2009, 1:56 PM > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > I just joined this group looking for support.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi everyone, I am also new to this group and feel it has already been very helpful to me. My son Henry is 2 years 5 months and was diagnosed with apraxia at 24 months. Henry has had speech therapy since 12 months but back then it was only every other week. Over the course of the last 18 months I have slowly increased his speech services. As of April he gets speech 4x a week. 2x through the state and 2x private (ouch on the pocketbook) but I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown worrying non-stop that he was not getting enough ST. I just fought the state again and they agreed to give him 3x a week starting in Sept. Just like you, I has been so worried, sad and so scared of the unknown! Will my son be one of those apraxia kids that never really talks or will be be one those 8 years olds that you tell someone he has apraxia and they look at you in disbelief! I think being so scared has made me fight harder and to never give up in trying to help my son.. For so long I really think I was in denial a bit, even though at the time I did not think I was. Coming to terms with, this is apraxia and there is nothing I can do to make it go away has helped me. Of course that happened after crying non-stop and feeling so sorry for myself. Henry is doing amazing, considering he did not utter a word till 20 months, which was mama.. He now has about 12 to 15 core words that he says all the time without being asked to say them. Just today at lunch, I said who wants lunch and Henry raised his hand and said ME! I almost fell over. Henry is also going to school in the fall and I have lost sleep over, how is he going to cope not really being able to talk. Will the teachers have the patience to help him and push him to use his words or just be happy he is a easy good quiet toddler? The worrying never stops, does it? lol Henry also takes fish oil and started it at 20 months, I did see a huge improvement when he started it bit he has been on it for 9 months so I do not know what he would be like without it. He also goes to developmental pediatrician every 6 months which he never does well there as far as testing. He scores average but that is only because he fails ________________________________ From: blingmedesigns <grob@...> Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 2:56:00 PM Subject: [ ] New to group Hi everyone, I just joined this group looking for support.

I keep getting " Einstein did talk until he was three " . He is always on me, saying I'm crazy and there is nothing wrong with our son. My husband does not want to hear anything about apraxia or a disorder and tells me I am crazy. Please help me - I am desperate. I do better on the phone vs. on the computer. Call me (618) 201-8831.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Carla: Welcome to our group. I know you will be happy to be a member here. Sorry to read that you have RA. It is a beast of a disease. I could not take the MTX in pill form. I had nausea 24/7, and I could not take it anymore. It didn't matter if I ate crackers or reg. food. I was just so sick I knew I was done taking those pills. My Rheumy taught me to inject myself with the MTX. It has worked so good for me. I might have a very slight case of nausea the night I inject it, but then it is gone. I have been self injecting my MTX for 6 years now. I also take Leucovorin, 2 pills 12 hours after I inject the MTX. It is Folic Acid, and takes care of nausea also. You might want to talk with your Rheumy about this. I hope you have better days ahead. I hated that sick feeling day in and day out. It was the pitts.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Carla, I have nausea and vertigo issues with my meds, and my doctor prescribes me compazine for the nausea and meclizine for the vertigo. Both work well. If you are vomiting and can't keep the compazine down, it is also available in suppositories. Hope you are feeling better soon. The nausea with the MTX usually subsides after a few doses. Take care, Kate P-B Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Carla, I was also having issues with nausea. My doctor switched me to the injectable type of MTX which helped tremendously, and then for the occasional nausea that still sneaks through I take compazine or Nauzene which you can but OTC at Wal-mart. I was surprised at how well it works for most of my stomach problems. I keep a box everywhere. One in my van, one in my kitchen, one in my purse and I used to keep one at work. Still getting used to this not working by the way. And praying the Disability, SSI and SSDI go through. Vicki Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Carla, I actually get 1ml of the injectable type of Methyltrexate due to the pill form making me too nauseous... I however, can not give myself needles as it causes way to much stress on my part... (stress for me, will make me flare very quickly)... My Rhuematologist suggested that I put the medicine in a syringe and then shoot it into some orange juice and drink it... I has worked great!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Welcome to our group Carla, I'm very sorry for your diagnosis, and the problem your having with your meds. We've all been through it, and we know what your going through. The meloxicam is probably making your tummy not feel well. I'm suppose to take it, but it bothers me so bad. My doctor put me on prevacaid, that hasn't helped much. You might talk to your rheumy about putting you on a med like prevacaid, it might help you. The mtx is hard to deal with. I'm hoping after awhile, you will start feeling better. The pills are harder on the stomach, I use the mtx injections. I don't really have any side effects from the drug anymore. I know a lot of members are also on the mtx shots. I hope you stay, there are a lot of great people here to help you through this trying time. Take care, and just keep posting.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 It sounds like you are doing the best you can. I did swtich from oral MTX to injections and found it was much easier on the stomach. I started out with much less of a load, primarily MTX and Folic Acid. The only suggestion I could make is that you talk with your Rheumatologist and ask what you can cut back on and see how you feel.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi Carla and welcome to the group. Meloxicam is an NSAID - known for upsetting stomachs. I'm surprised your Rheumy has you taking that at the same time as the prednisone. IMHO, I would STOP the Meloxicam. Get some OTC Prilosec - do the 14-day dosage only and then maybe add Zantac 150 to your daily pill regimen after that. Definitely call your Rheumy and let them know what you're doing and why. If you need something for pain, try either Tylenol Arthritis or ask your Rheumy for something other than an NSAID. I feel pretty confident that is what is causing your stomach upset. I'm not a medical professional in any way, but I've been there/done that/bought the t-shirt. Praying for pain free better days ahead for you. Keep us posted.....Doreen PS - like a lot of the others, I take my MTX by injection. It completely bypasses a LOT of stomach issues and is much easier for the body to process.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks to everyone who gave me info for the nausea. I feel a little better today. I do have another question. Everyone talks about having flare-ups. Can you tell me what a flare-up is? I'm sorry I feel silly having to ask....What causes flare-ups? Thank you! Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Carla, I don't think you need to feel silly for asking any questions... I was always told that the only stupid question was the one not asked! I believe flares are different for everyone but very basic in some ways. I didn't think it complicated until I started to answer your question. But, I will do the best I can to explain. I consider my flares as simply feeling awful... Revisiting the times before the medications started helping. For example: I couldn't walk up stairs (hell, or walk across the room), I was always falling asleep (even while driving or in the midst of a conversation), my joints were unbearably painful and I couldn't keep my train of thought to save my life. Now, I still have aches and pains (some days better then others), but ever so often I get a few days or a couple weeks were I'm reminded of how it use to be. It seems as if the medicine stopped working... This too me is a flare! Normally there isn't much rhyme or reason to it, it just happens. Other times its because I pushed myself to hard at work or trying to keep up with my past life. (I spent all my spoons) (Do a google search for the spoon theory, its truly amazing). And then there are times where the weather has the fun in tormenting us. Sorry for writing a book, but like I said.... This wasn't as easy a question as I thought...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Carla - I kind of had the same question after I was first diagnosed and during the first couple of years after my diagnosis. Bonnie is right though, once you start trying to type out the answer, it starts to get lengthy!! My first years living w/RA - I had pain all of the time - I did NOT understand people that talked about flares since my pain never ceased. Then after several years of trying every drug out there, we found " my miracle " drug - rituxan. It's hard to explain, but it's like the drug changed how my body responded (for lack of a better term) to RA. That is when I began experiencing " flares " . Flares to me are when the RA rears its ugly head and I am stiff and in pain for periods of time. Periods could mean hours, days or weeks for me. Then as mysteriously as it appears, it will go away. I never know how long I will be without - but I don't complain!! I hope that helps a little!! ltdavis_jrdavis@...

I know you were in agony due to your broken arm and broken leg. Many months of time in the hospital and in Rehab. doing P.T.. I know how bad your RA has been, and I pray that it will calm down soon. You have been through so much, and I feel awful that you have suffered so much for so long. I know how bad your hands are and the effort it takes to even type one thing. I am praying for you to be healed, and out of your constant pain. You are a beautiful girl, and I so love our friendship that we have found here. It is an amazing thing. God sure does move in mysterious ways. I hope each day you get stronger and stronger, and that you will be pain free soon. God Bless you in all ways. You are a dear, dear girl. We all have missed you so much.. Have a wonderful day, and talk soon.
