Re: Re: OCD waxing and waning

[Guest guest]

No, can't say I've experienced it personally! I wish I could identify any one

single thing that was a trigger for dd, that way we could try to avoid it! Dd

spends the whole summer swimming, too. As a matter of fact, her OCD did go

completely haywire this summer but I've been " blaming " that on the Zoloft or a

natural waxing period. As much as I HATE OCD, it would be pretty darn hard to

keep my daughter away from the pool and her friends!! I looked into something

called a Chlorine Ball once as my son sometimes has severe eczema. It wasn't too

costly and was recommended by a dermatologist. I never followed through on the

purchase as I guess we're always dealing with things worse than eczema around

here!

That's interesting. Our son spends the whole summer in a pool that

has chlorine in it, but it doesn't seem to affect him.. . Fortunately.

Have you experienced it personally, ? Just curious.

We've been wanting to get one of those salt generators just because

chlorine is so hard on his skin and he already has eczema. But it's

the same old story keeping us from it. . money. <shrug>
