Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Kathy, I know what your going through with this depression thing, I am feeling it too. I have got to much going on, and feeling like crap. I hope they find out what is going on with the spasms. Have you made an appointment with the Neurologist yet, don't put things off like Tawny,lol? I feel like going crazy tonight, my daughter brought her 3 cats over, and it's a challenge. One hasn't stopped meowing, the other has tore one blind up so far. I have been scratched all over my arms,(two are kittens)I am just nuts tonight. Hopefully, they will calm down. I would like to take a trip to the bahamas right now. I am in so much pain, I can't hardly deal with much more. I am really upset, I don't think the Humira is working for me. Sorry, to overload on you, I need someone to tell my sob story to,lol You take care of yourself girl, and I will be praying for you, hugs Tawny > ok guys, i'm deprssed again. i just came back from the foot dr. i need to see > a neurologist again. they are concerned with the muscle spasms i have been > having and my plantar facsitis is very tender. seems everytime i have therapy on > my foot and calf. i get spasms all down my left side. kathy in il > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Kathy~ I know that things like this can get you down and depressed, but try to rememeber that that isn't going to solve anything. And I know that that is hard to realize, but it is so true. Just like everything else, that you and I and everyone else in this wonderful support group deal with, it is just another stepping stone that we have to get passed. And the best advice is that you can do it as long as you have friends and family and of course us! Your in my thoughts!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hi ! I don't mind answering your questions at all. We have been following a modified NIDs diet since October 2002. Basically, it involves no dairy (i.e. casein -- Dr. G says " If it comes from a cow and it's not meat, don't give it to him. " ), no whole grains (I did go GF for a while but saw no real change so he does get some gluten, but only through highly processed products like Wonder Bread, noodles, etc. and not much of it/not every day), no chocolate, no red fruits (like berries), no tropical fruit, very reduced sugar. We have modified the NIDs diet only in that it says no nuts because they are one of the big allergens, but since he has no nut allergies he gets a bit of peanut butter (about once or twice a month) and I don't worry if there are nuts listed in the ingredients of what he is eating. He likes soy milk, calcium enhanced orange juice (25% juice, 75% water), all kinds of meat, veggies, bananas, apples, pear, peaches, non-dairy butter on his GFCF waffles, Cheerios, plain chips, pretzels, etc. It isn't to hard to follow at all and I think he eats better than my two older children who are not NIDs. He also takes a daily iron supplement. In terms of meds, Dr. G started our son on an anti-viral first. His HHV6 numbers were overly elevated -- he had roseola (from the HHV6 family) right after his MMR shot and seemed to go downhill after that although I did see some subtle signs of problems before his first birthday. We saw improvements within a few days of introducing an anti-viral in terms of better eye contact, better receptive language. His muscle tone improved right away as well, as he became more active and energetic. I was constantly told he had poor/low muscle tone, but now he's great (I wish my legs were as toned as his!). He was later also put on an anti-fungal (first Nizoral, then Diflucan, now Lamasil). He rotates them so their system doesn't get too used to it and they remain effective. The anti-fungals seem to help my son with his receptive language and he is much chattier on them, especially on Diflucan (he is non-verbal and uses PECs to communicate). Unfortunately, our monthly blood work showed that his liver didn't take too kindly to Diflucan and we had to eliminate that one. I like the fact that Dr. G monitors the kids' bloodwork so thoroughly. We have just recently introduced a very low dose of Paxil. In Dr. G's experience (and other doctors as well -- here in Canada, one of the leading childrens hospitals is doing a study of this), SSRIs given in very low doses seem to help our kids become aware and more alert. Since giving Paxil to our son, he has improved in leaps and bounds in his ABA therapy, has taken interest in a couple of TV programs that he only ever watched during the intro and the end (i.e. rolling credits), he is following multi-task directions like " Go pat the cat " when before I would say " Touch cat " and he would look at me blankly and walk away, never even showing that he understood there was a cat in the room or, further, what a cat was. He is also doing things that are driving me crazy, but are good indications of developmental improvements, like climbing everything in sight to get at things that are out of reach. His progress has been slow but steady and we are pleased with how things are going so far. Some of this may not be as well explained as it could be by others who comment on the list and have better medical knowledge. Anyone who wants to jump in, please do. Are you following the NIDs protocol? Do you see Dr. G? I hope this helps. Rhoda (no subject) Dear Rhoda You mentioned that your son does not have food allergies/sensitivities, but has some gut issues. Does this mean you are or are not doing a GFCF diet? Is it possible to use biomedical interventions, and not do the diet? Also you mentioned SSRIs. What are you using. Why are you using it ? and what positive effects does it seem to have for your son? Sorry about all the questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 I thank the new comers for bringing up nagging questions. I also have been on a GFCF diet buit I am confused about thee whole grain verses the glutten free aspects. Several discrepencies have been troublesome: First and for most, are Cherios - Whole Oats- There are no rice or corn substitutes that reseeemble Cherios - circular cerial. My kid is nuts for Cherios the but being a grian in the northern european wheat, rye, oats, spelt fami;y they are heavy in glutteen and are made from whole grains - Can I or can I not feed cherios to my son? - I have been avoiding them. Tropical Fruits - red or not - bannanas? - Citrus? / OR pinapple and mango? Tropical? What hemisphere and why? Nutss? - We show no nut allergens - peanut or others - are they still problematic? Noodles - I have found this the easiest glutten product to replace - potatoe or rice pasts is availble at our local G-store_ what is highly processe? All of the wheat based noodles state 100% wheat? I assume whole grain. Dye - Exaactly whaat Dyes- Red # 40 or Red # 43, Yellow # 23. I havee been told only two of the die bases aare problematic. Red and yellow but EXACTLY WHAT NUMBERS? Our progress has been slow but steady. Connor is six but still none verbal. With the diet outline being so gray I question every decision I make and regret every regression. It seems to get harder not easier. We haave wworked down his availble foods to the point where her can not join his classmates in a mainstream cafiteria setting with-out having behavioral problems. His progess is greaat to see but I don't see him catching up just continuing to fall behind. We just lost our summer day care due to food issues(Mainstream would not deal with the diet)and have replaced it at $900 a month. Bill Re: (no subject) Hi !

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Judy, I know just how you feel. I can't wait until we can move so I don't have to cope with stairs. But in our area, there are only condos and townhouses with 2 stories. Now I ask you, why would anyone in their right mind build a subdivision for seniors and only put in homes with stairs? I've designed our retirement house, and we'd like to build it. It's exactly what we want, is HC accessible, and has all the rooms I would spend most of my time in very close to each other. Finding land is difficult, and sometimes the land costs more than the house! But at the same time, we built the home we live in, and have been here 25 years. Over half our neighbors also built their homes, and leaving them, the house with all its memories, and my gardens, where I've spent so much time and which I love so much, well, it's going to be very hard. I talked with my Mom, who's 85, and she said you don't leave the memories with the house; you take them with you. She's also suggested we put a clause in any contract for the house that I can take up to a certain number of rose bushes, peonies and perennials with me when we move. It would depend on whether the new owners are into gardening. Most probably won't be. Right now, we're working on downsizing. Room by room, I'm going through closets, dressers, etc. and getting rid of at least half of what we have. Once I'm done, I'm going to start over, and get rid of another half. Less " stuff " will mean less work, and an easier time when we do move. The nice thing about moving to a new subdivision is that everyone else is new too, so making new friends is much easier. And you'll make pool buddies too. It sounds like a wonderful move for you! Dix [ ] (no subject) Hi everyone...I don't post much as I am a quiet one by nature. But I was glad the discussion of moving came up. My husband and I live in a 4 bedroom, 3 bath house where we raised our 4 kids, now all out on their own. The house is 3 levels and the stairs kill me. We keep talking about downsizing but never knew what we wanted. My husband has major health problems so it scares me to move to a strange neighborhood too. Two weeks ago, we found a dream come true for us. It is a new subdivision for 55 and over with only ranches going up. We are both 56. It will have an indoor and outdoor pool and if anyone has ever gone to water classes you know how soothing it is. I am, however, kind of worried about leaving my house and all of its memories. Then I think of no stairs and no outside work and I am turned around. I guess moving is one of the traumatic experiences in our life and maybe I am normal. All I do know is that I go round and round and the house won't even be ready until January.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 When we built our house 10 years ago we built a ranch with everything on one floor. We have a finished basement too with a full bath and kitchen so it's another apartment if need be someday. My father was an invalid in his early 50's so we built with that in mind. They had 3 levels too and had to sell because of the stairs. It was hard for them but really best, financially and everything else. It was hard for me to see it go to someone else but you will get over that. We sold our last two homes in our town, the first where all of our children first lived after they were born, our second during their early childhood years, and now here. The youngest were 5 when we moved in. We named the road after our daughter so I do think it might be hard to leave here just because of that. I could let go other than that so I'm hoping to pass it along to one of our children as we have some acreage and it's rare around here to have that.

Central NJ was a great place to live back in the 60's it still deserved to be called the Garden state.
