Guest guest Posted July 2, 1999 Report Share Posted July 2, 1999 Hi Jodie, I have been told that ADHD is often associated with mito conditions. I think it makes sense since ADHD is a neurological symptom and mito disease can cause neurological problems. I know quite a few mito kids in my region who have ADD some with the H, including my ADD daughter. My daughter's geneticist/metabolic specialist (Dr. Korson), told me that ADD is often associated. As for Krabbe's, I don't know anything about this syndrome so I will let someone who is more knowlegable answer that one.

I just wanted you to know that you aren't alone in some of your symptoms. I don't share all of your symptoms, but you apparently don't share all of mine as well. I just wanted to say I understand your brain foggy type symptoms. It is something that the parents of affected children only (as versus being affected themselves) cannot generally comment on and I think it takes being affected in that way to understand how difficult it can be. I am affected in that way and I did not improve until I increased my CO q10 many times. My first dose of the day is a whopping 400 mgs. Just the first dose! I am very coq10 dependent. I have had multiple neurologic insults that included stroke type events and LOTS of TIA's as well as probable seizure activity. I have had times when I couldn't even care for my most affected son requiring my husband to take off from work. I am very fortunate to have near adult children now who are trained better than some nurses when it comes to the emergencies and equipment of my most affected child, and can pitch in and help when I'm not quite up to par. My EEG, while showing an inclination toward seizures, also showed slowed brain waves. Even while awake, I had brain waves consistent with sleep state. This was shown on both my EEG's. I take spells and did so at one time for over 6 months, where I felt I was never fully awake, yet I failed to get others to understand that even though I appeared to be awake, I felt drugged and in dire need of a nap. I would be forced to lay down many times a day or I would have another stroke type event if I didn't. I am better now but I still have to be careful daily and my brain burns increasingly and to the point I become very confused if I don't rest. Even today I have had multiple episodes of losing my hearing and various visual difficulties. All warning signs to be careful or else!! The assumption is that I use up too much ATP and that is why I am so very stroke prone now-daily. It truly is a daily balancing act to prevent more episodes, and try as I may, I'm not always successful. I have also found some herbs to be of benefit. There is research to support what I have proven in myself. I don't like to readily express what I take; alternative medicine is a far less traveled path in mitochondrial treatment than allopathic medicine, which isn't too traveled in the mito world in and of itself. Guess I'm rambling by now. Just wanted to let you know I understand what you are saying. I frequently set my mail to " no mail " and I get into the delete routine frequently. Feel free to email me privately if you need to. Cheri, mom to five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 My name is Elly and I live in the town of Berwyn USA. I was born on 3rd of July 1968. I have two children ages 16 and 14. Boy and girl were born before I was Diagnosed with Ashermans. I have never had any miscarriages but I started to try and get pregnant again 6years ago. They have shot the saline thru my tubes and found that they are somewhat clogged. They did the first hysteroscopy back in 1995 and found that I had calcium build up which I gues is considered Ashermans it was operative. They have done other Hysteroscopies in 1998 (a laproscopy was done with this one) they also done a D & C on all three and just three weeks ago from today 03-16-01 I have had one done. This last one was when they actually told me I have Ashermans and that is why I was looking up info. on it. I have gone through two IVF cycles with ICSI and have failed. Every time they transfer embryos the scarring gets in the way at the cervix. I am going through another IVF cycle in April. Right now I am on premarin and on 03-20 I will be on birthcontrol for 21 days. Then I will start on Lupron and take it from there. The second and last Hysteroscopy they inserted a balloon to keep the uterus walls apart after the surgery. I guess the severity is IIIa, IV because it is also in my tubes. My deliveries have been 1st normal than 2nd C-section and that is where they think Asherman started. I get a period every month but only for 2-3 days 1st day heavy than spotting. I do get it regularly. For now my cervix is open they inserted the syringe and cathedar in the cervix last week. I have no infection. The doctor said It looked like egg shells and was very crunchy before she took it out now It is cleared up. The other times I was operated on it grew back right away. I was supposed to get my period on 03-11 but I have yet still to get it. Like I mentioned before I am on premarin and not getting my period is one of the side affects. I'm hoping that is the case. I guess I answered the last question above. We will try to conceive with the help of God and IVF With ICSI and I guess keep on praying that something positive happens.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Don't beat yourself up too bad. We all had a little time to get used to this Mom stuff. At least we started (most everyone does) with just one child who slept a lot. I think it's great taking on foster children. I have thought I'd like to do that myself someday. As far as the time issue, I still haven't worked all those details out myself, but as soon as I do, I'll let you know what I come up with. As of now all I try to do is combine as many activities as possible so that I get more done in less time.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Hi LeAnn! Congrats on the adoption of your 2 daughters!! That is so awesome! Things will get easier, just give it some time. I have 4 kids- some days it feels like 12 though! Maybe your girls would enjoy taking a walk or bike ride with you for exercise. After the dust begins to settle, and you all find a rhythm in your new family life, remember to make some time for yourself, for meetings, exercise...or whatever! I also find that if I want my kids to eat better choices, I have them get involved with the preparing of the meals. Now that they are older, they can do a whole meal on their own...planning, shopping, cooking, serving...and the all important CLEAN-UP!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Hello and Welcome to the group LeAnn!! I'm so glad you joined us!! I am so happy for you and your husband adopting your foster kids :-) What a change for you both!! I worked fulltime with our first three then when #4 came we decided I should stay home - and now we have five!! I don't have any time to exercise either - well I guess I do but with the last three girls being under three I can't get out with them unless I have some help. Our washer and dryer are downstairs so I do get to run stairs a little!! I also look at the other moms of the world and think why couldn't I stay thin having these kids - and they all seem to have everything so under control and well put together!! Oh well, maybe someday for me!! I don't know how to put extra time into the day - I'm just glad the three little ones all go to bed at 8 and our two oldest (10,9) can keep themselves busy so Rick and I have some time together. And time to do what we want for a couple of hours a night. Hang in there LeAnn!! Sounds like you're doing great!! And remember we are here for you!! ~~ (no subject) Hello everyone - My name is LeAnn and I live in Idaho.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Hi LeAnn, Welcome to the group!! How awesome to be adopting these little girls. That is so neat. You and your husband must be real special people. I am married and have two kids. is 19 and is almost 15 (July 21st). My advice to you is to enjoy every minute with your girls. Time really does goes by quickly. I can't believe is 19 and on her own in college. I know when you are going through the day to day stuff it is overwhelming at times, but hang in there. My other advice is to ask your husband to help you schedule some " You " time. As Moms that is hard for us to do, but you have to. You know the saying, " If Momma isn't Happy, then nobody is Happy! " . I finally decided too when I started Weight Watchers in March that I was going to buy differently (no more high-fat junk food)for the whole family. They have actually adjusted pretty well. They are all real supportive of me too. So far I have lost 36 pounds, I go tomorrow to weigh in for the week. I am walking 4 miles every morning and I know that is making a big difference. Remember to take care of yourself. Have a great day! in Colorado (no subject) Hello everyone - My name is LeAnn and I live in Idaho.

Then, we had a major life change. We became foster parents to two girls. One 12 and one 9. These were our first children and it took some adjusting. Although things have gone very well, part of the state requirements have been that they couldn't be left alone, so there went all of my free time. Exercise became very difficult to get in and they didn't seem to like any of the food that my husband and I had become acustomed too on program. Slowly I let the exercise slide (there were always 10 hours of things to accomplish and only 1 hour to accomplish it in), has anyone else ever felt that way? Dumb question, huh? How do moms do it when not only you have to keep track of yourself, but everyone else in the family and their activities as well? Needless to say, I now have gained back almost all of the weight I had lost and am a little (alot) angry with myself. I feel like all the other moms in the world look great, why can't I. I'm not quite ready to start with meetings again, although I'm not quite sure why. I enjoyed them so much. I guess I'm just afraid. As a side note, on Monday we will adopt the two girls and become an official family which will be nice. I appreciate reading all of your comments and welcome any advice for extra time (without cutting into my sleep). I work full time and need that as much as anything it seems. You all keep me going and motivate every time I read. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Hi LeAnn, Congratulations on your new family! That is so awesome. Try not to be so hard on yourself about your weight gain - it sounds like the past few months have brought about TREMENDOUS change and you needed time to adjust. It's understandable that you could not adjust your old schedule to accommodate your new life. I am not a parent (yet) but I was thinking about getting some exercise that your daughters could do with you. It is so important to get children involved in physical activity instead of sitting in front of the TV, computer, or Playstation! How about family Bike Rides? Hikes? There are a few cute mother daughter combos in my jazzercise class too! Make exercise a family time! Good luck and again, Congratulations! >From: lannnlsn@... >Reply-To: wwliterside >To: wwliterside >Subject: (no subject) >Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 00:20:33 EDT > >Hello everyone - >My name is LeAnn and I live in Idaho.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Welcome to the group LeAnn!! Congratulations on your girls! I am a mom of 3 ages 10, 9, and 3. I can relate to not having free time. Before it got sooo hot (I live in TX) I would take the kids to the park, where we would all walk (I push the little one in a stroller) then the kids could play at the playground for a while. They got to look forward to that. Maybe you could do something like this to get a little exercise. As far as your weight, relax, you just went through some major changes and when things get more normal you can start losing again. Relax and enjoy your new family the rest will fall into place! Remember that we are here to support you!!! Maureen > Hello everyone - > My name is LeAnn and I live in Idaho.

At the time of my tubal I had no control over my own life, my family had so much influence on me. I can say I had regrets immediatley. I really wish that one person had brought to my attention that I was 26yrs old and I still had a whole life ahead of me!!! I was so convinced that this was what was expected,I cried when I signed the release form.. My Dr's reply was that he has 19 yr olds that should be sterilized. He delivered my children and I was very close to him through the years, my family felt the same way. So almost 5 yrs later I need to be able to move on with my life with the most wonderful man in the world, and add to our family. Now ,can someone help with some questions and let me know what your going through, I don't even know where to begin (this is also my 1st time in a group like this) please, bare with me!!
