New to the group, intro and questions...

[Guest guest]

Hello! My name is Stacey and I am United States Vet's SIL (thanks for

the referral). I am married and have 2 little boys, and we are

currently in D.C.

Basically after getting some info from my BIL, my husband and I have

become concerned about several issues we have been dealing with.

This is the rundown...

Husband - has sinus issues, but that is pretty much the extent...

Me - I have asthma, sinus issues (and even had surgery to try to

help " fix " the problem, am allergic to ALL kinds of degergents. My

last resort is a mixture of vinegar and water - do any of you have

any suggestions as to what I can use, because even baby Dreft is

irritating to me.

My oldest son, Eli, is 4 and due to behavioral issues, anxiety and

frustration problems, was disgnosed (after lengthy observations and

hospital stays and visits)as having Pediatric Bipolar Disorder. He

also suffers from frequent sinus infections.

Chase, my youngest dealt with several health issues as an infant, but

now at 17 months seems to only deal with sinus infections as we all

do.

My main questions are...

1.How do you " reverse " the sinus damage that has been done, and is

that even possible?

2. What do you do to know the difference in a 4 year old if it is

truly a result of your environment being unhealthy, or if it is truly

a mental disorder passed down thru family?

3. And what the heck can I use to clean my clothing that won't

irritate me so much?

Thanks! I've already learned a lot from the short time I've been here

and the info passed along, and know this will be a helpful place for

me in the future!!!
