Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Welcome Angie, I'm Jill, mom to 2 kids. Our son, Ian, is 15 and mainstreamed as a sophomore in our local high school. Ian is aided for a progressive bilateral conductive loss currently in the moderate range. He has an Fm system at school as well a TOD and other services appropriate for his needs. Ian was diagnosed very late (7-years-old) when he was in 2nd grade. Our other child is , a 12-year-old in middle schooler with no hearing loss. In fact, no one in our family or extended families has a similar hearing loss. A great aunt lost her hearing due to scarlet fever as a child, and grandparents wear aids now, but that's due to the usual age issues. We were not lucky enough to have an EI program or infant screening identify Ian's loss. We're not even sure when his loss began. So, we learned everything from lists like this and through the kindness of total strangers. You'll find this place top be wonderful. Parents and caregivers supporting each other and sharing ideas, resources and the occasional bragging or whining that we all need to do now and then. What's really great is the attitude here is that the " right answer " is what works for your child. I'll share what's worked for Ian, but that doesn't mean it'll work for anyone else. But people here are more than willing to share their ideas and their resources, and by reading about those we get ideas about what may work for our own kids. It's a great place. There are no protocols about joining the ongoing discussions. Just jump in with your experiences or even to ask a question. We just always try to remember to respect each other's choices and opinions. You'll rarely, if ever, find a flame war going on here ... which is a wonderful change from some other lists.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi, Angie, We pretty much subscribe to the " there are no stupid questions " philosophy -- if you don't ask, you'll never know. TOD stands for Teacher of the Deaf. And hi, I'm the mom to Ben, 7, severe to profound HOH, who was identified at birth. He's had hearing aids since 3 months, talks constantly, listens when it suits him, is mainstreamed in first grade, and is an all around great kid. I've been on this list since he was a year old (!) and learn new things all the time. Plus, it's just the best place to get advice/info when you really need it. I also have a 10-year-old daughter with a mild loss; she currently uses a soundfield FM in her classroom (speakers mounted on the wall, teacher wears a mic, everyone hears him louder) and next year will use an ear-level EduLink in middle school.

I have just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and already I am finding the process daunting. I saw my family physician who suggested I get a mammogram (hadn't had one since 2002)but, I do check myself regularly. I thought I might have felt something, but, I tend to get cysts so... To add to the thought I might, I was having pain in my left breast. Anyway, I had a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy within the last 2 weeks and, yes, I have breast cancer in both breasts. I made an appointment with a surgeon - end of the month and thought I should see an oncologist. I saw him last Friday and now have an appointment with a radiologist, bone scan, chest xray and an mri scheduled. What I find disconcerting is all these tests are scheduled with little explanation of what order, or why they are being done. He also suggested a PET scan-but my dogs are fine. Actually he said he would have to check with my insurance. Anyway, here I am and I have not a clue what is going on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi , Please consider finding a physical therapist that specializes in sexual dysfunction and painful sex. My PT specializes in that area and recently told me a story of a young lady from Pakistan that had been married for two years and had never had sex. It was too painful and she was very frightened, and she had never consummated her marriage. Upon coming here to visit relatives for the summer, she came to see my PT for help. Over the course of ten sessions, this young woman was able to consummate her marriage and have successful sex without pain, before she went home to Pakistan. You can get help – so please look into a PT that might be able to help you. nne Hi, My name is , I'm 23 years old and have been married since May. I have just recently been diagnosed with a possible vulvar vestibulitis. I have my apt with a specialist in late October. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions to reduce pain during sex that i can try until i see the gynourologist. My husband and I almost never have it at all because it is so painfull for me, and it is really starting to take a toll on my marriage. I get really depressed that its all my fault and that I'm not living up to what i should be. Thank You Suprise AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Please be sure to have your free T3 tested at the same time as your reverse T3. If your FT3/RT3 ratio is off, then you'll need to insure your adrenals and iron are in good shape before trying T3 supplementation. Your symptoms are suspiciously like mine. Do you have joint pain? Besides the hypo stuff, panic is co-related to gluten sensitivity. You might want to try meticulously avoiding wheat, barley, and rye for four weeks to see how that makes you feel. Alan > sorry to see you here but hope we can help! Do you have any blood results from you last visit? Have you ever had your adrenals tested via saliva cortisol testing? How about ferritin or RT3? Just the fact that you are on synthetic T4 will leave you feeling horrible! Did you read the FAQ? http://thyroid-rt3.com/ I don't know of anyone who has had a good experience with an endo. I have been to 7.... all equally useless in the end. Did you have your thyroid out? Many of us <me included> have been down the antidepressant path, doesn't help, just makes us worse since that isn't what is wrong! As for temps have you ever done them by the Dr. Rind method? http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph#intro this method helps to determine the strength of your adrenals.
