welcome Loni, this is a great place for you to be. you will find a lot of

knowledge and experience here. about the insurance....with her autism diagnosis

she just may qualify for SSI and if she does she may qualify for medicaid. You

would apply through the social security administration for that. I think there

are other people here that have kids who recieve SSI so they may be able to give

you more info on that. Good luck and remember you are never alone.

Loni, WELCOME!!! I think it is great that your daughter is getting

some early interventions.....do you have a DAN! practitioner yet? You

may want one and also please please please consider getting heavy

metal testing done and trying Gluten casein free diet. I wish I had

made my whole family try back then but my family has pickiness too.

SO many people have great outcomes.

We did a lot when my daughter was young. We did ABA - home program,

supernuthera (kirkman's vitamins), secretin infusions, SPEECH

therapy, Occupational therapy, tried a typical daycare with aide at

age 2years, AIT (auditory integrated therapy), theraputic horseback

riding therapy, some meds when she was a little older like risperdol

& clonidine (which i regret...due to weight gain). We also did

miralax for severe constipation which I really regret.

We are doing Methyl b-12 and lots of supplements that our DAN!

suggested. She is doing a lot better.

Let us know what works with Jayla.

Hi. We have a seven year old - will be 8 on Tuesday. Our biggest issue is still

lack of expressive language. Receptive is much higher. We live in ville TN.

Well...I like saunas and really hot showers, yes I cough stuff up after but it's more of like a clearning type of feeling. In my opinion, a lot of us struggle with exercise because there aren't many types of exercises that are good for us, and that we don't get problems from. Running, jogging, aerobic stuff is mostly out of the question for me at least.

I would definitely give this yoga stuff a try. While I haven't done yoga per se, I've had positive results with daily stretching, etc...I'd like to know how it goes.

Hi there, I'm new here. I'm 39 and suspect I've had asthma for years but never been diagnosed until recently. I have always coughed and hacked after running and have wheezed when I ran when its cold. I remember being breathless as a kid playing in the snow. I've had horrid bronchitis twice this year and after the last round, doc finally said the A word. Rigth now, I'm taking flovent and ventolin when I need it and am awaiting allergy testing next thrusday.Now for the quesiton, my best friend (who is hugely over weight) is trying to get me to go to Bikram Hot Yoga. I'm really worried about not being able to breathe if I'm in a room that hot. Has anyone done hot yoga and not had breating issues?Catelyn

Hi guys, I'm . I've been "ghosting" for a while as I gather information. I 'm not banded yet, but looking into it. Can't get it done until March 09 due to insurance anyway.

I'm feeling pretty low at the moment. I went to my first info night last week at North Shore Private. Wasn't sure if I'd be a candidate, but the clinical nurse said I should be. That was the good news. Bad news is I bought a new set of scales today, and I'm 100.1kg. I'm pretty sure it's the heaviest I've been. And I'm only 20 years old.

I've tried so many ways to lose weight before and failed. I don't want to get fatter before I have surgery because it's just going to be further to come back. Not sure what I should do. I'm lacking motivation and confidence.

Thanks for the support I just need to do something before I totally lose

control. I hate the person I am on the outside and I just want to be normal,

happy and healthy. That's not too much to ask for is it?!

Hi ,

I was banded at North Shore Private last December, they are a great

team. Have you got an appointment with the dietitian yet - when you

see her maybe she can set you an eating plan to last you till your

insurance kicks in.

there are actually quite a few of us that were banded at North Shore,

so don't feel shy about asking for help here.

hun i doubt you could do it for that long

why not just do baby steps to start

kick all the junk food out

or try n drop 500 cals out of ur intake for ur day

just make some tiny changes

drastic steps arent a great idea

cause you will get too depressed trying that

baby steps hun

That's why I was scared I wouldn't be a candidate, because my BMI isn't 40. But

with asthma and depression and anything else that's wrong, I'm eligible from BMI

35+
