Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 My son has a rare genetic disorder on top of the AS/ADHD. Part of this is congenital anosmia....the inability to smell due to lack of olfactory bulbs and tracts. I always wondered if this played any roll in his sensory issues. -Charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Sherri, We recently had my son evaluated for sensory issues, he also has OCD. He is compulsed to hug tightly onto people and is constantly chewing on his shirts. He rubs his fingers together till they are sore, he twists ties on blankets. These are just a few. We have not heard back from the evaluation yet, but I was just wondering if your child has any of the same symptoms. I do know he has anxiety which this also is a sign of, but a friend of mine who has a child with sensory problems, suggested that I get him tested also. Just wondering I just want to thank everyone who writes. I mostly read because I am so new to this. Your information is greatly appreciated Thanks Re: New sleep issues He does have sensory issues--mostly hyposensitivity/ seeking tactile and proprioceptive input (which I know could be a factor in him crashing into people, I know, but I also know it isn't just that). It seems that when there are problems, there are problems with every issue at once and it's hard to figure out what's going on.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi Dave, Our entire family is using Nutriiveda and in our family it is working with everyone. My youngest does not need to lose weight but really needs it for a sports injury and she feels so much better on the Nutriiveda than off. She is using it once a day and has not lost any weight. She has noticed she no longer craves junk food so she said she feels like she is eating healthier as well. She has not really been able to run long distances since her injury but now with the Nutriiveda she is running once again. This morning she is already out running 5 miles with her older sister. I would give it a try. Please consult your doctor with any and all concerns you may have prior to beginning the Nutriiveda. Mel's doctor is very pleased with Nutriiveda so pleased that when I brought a canister in to show him he asked if he could have it. I will see how he feels next week after being on the Nutriiveda for a week. Robin On Dec 16, 2009, at 7:31 AM, dave@... wrote: > We are still having problems with Sensory Issues.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Guys This was sent to me and I find it very interesting. I have posted here with my response below. Anyone else have any thoughts? Bill, Hope you are your son are doing well. I have some thoughts/question that you may have some perspective I stumbled upon this when researching sensory/pressure seeking behavior, which we have seen quite a bit recently. There is a rare muscular disorder Inclusion Body myositis that is supposed to be caused by some sort of auto-immunity http://resources.metapress.com/pdf-preview.axd?code=w2371735613n8512 & size=larges\ t http://journals.lww.com/aidsonline/fulltext/2003/05230/inclusion_body_myositis__\ _another_possible.24.aspx Mito dysfunction is also seen in this disease - quite like type disorders. There maybe no connection to this to except that they are immune related but I am curious as to the theories on sensory dysfunction in kids esp pressure seeking type behavior. Is there an explanation of what is going on at the brian or muscular level - why the pressure is calming? Thanks, Kay Kay Yes that is very interesting and I agree that this is probably yet another aspect of and is probably a piece of the puzzle. When Connor is off base I can attribute soo many of the behavioral issues to sensory problems that it is obvious that what is going on in his brain is occurring throughout his entire nervious system. I have always used one technique that we call burrito treatment. I keep a very heavy blanket/ dense and thick / and I will get him on the floor and roll him up into a burrito as a game. It is amazingly calming and I get him back in a few minutes. What ever is going on, on this cellular level must be viral by the very description. The new assays they are using casing the genome around will sort it out eventually. In regard to the list I do not know who monitors it but I suspect it is Dr G's wife . If you are a patient of his you can call the office, if not, post them to me and I will put them up. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
