You know n does this choking thing from time to time. However I have noticed that he does it most frequently with inanimate objects - - he holds them close to his face in a death grip and shakes them like he's throttling it while yelling " DO! DO! DO! DO! " It was weird. Then one day it hit me, it is simply a visual stim, not an agressive urge.

The teacher wrote up notes about it for weeks, which I never saw at home until he jumped on my MIL in what seemed to be an affectionate way. He is usaully smiling when he does this and he doesnt realize he is hurting anyone. He also jumps on me when he when he wants to be held and I had to explain to him that he is way too heavy for this. He is also aggressive, but, he punches and pulls hair when its aggression mode, then he is very vicious. I see n isnt diagnosed yet, I think everyone now can tell way before they take their kid to the doctor. There is more known about it than even 5 years ago when my kid was diagnosed.

Most in our family still insist that this is the case. But, well, a mother knows. n is fairly high functioning, and in the right controlled environment, can come off as NT, but I'm fairly certain that when we see the dev ped in October that he will be dx'd. Thankfully there is more information and understanding than there used to be.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I too was experiencing low amniotic fluid. They told me to really increase my fluids and stay off of my feet. Annette Levitt WLS 9-12-03 EDD 11-27-03 ( Alan -- yep finally found out its a boy!!!) Update Ok I wanted to give everyone an update I went for my 16 week ultrasound Baby A is a girl Baby B is a boy Baby C could not see Baby A & B are measuring great and have heartbeats at 154 Baby C has low amniotic fluid and has a heartbeat of 148. The doctor does not know if Baby C will make it. Does anyone know anything about low fluid and could this have anything to do with my RNY surgery. I ask the Peri and he doesn't know and had a real " I don't care attutide " He said if Baby C doesn't make it you still have two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I don't think it has anything to do with wls... a friend of mine had low amniotic fluid with her third child... she just had to make sure she drank more and kept her activities to a minimum for the remainder of her pregnancy. She actually delivered two weeks late, too! Congrats on a & b and don't give up on c!!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I feel bad to hear about Tom's situation. I had started to wonder about him like I am sure many others did that were aware of his history. It is clear to me from the care and support in our site's messages that this is not just a cheerleading group. Maybe all we can offer is to lend an understanding ear and commiserate, but I would urge Tom to tell us his feelings about his painful experience. Who could better empathize with him than our group? But for the grace of god...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Mandy, Oh, honey, just forget that idiot doctor, and call and insist that you see or speak with the Rheumatologist who knows your case. Get assertive, and tell the people who make the appointments that you cannot wait that long for help. And, don't apologize for venting to US, honey, that's why we're here. We have all been where you are in the process of living with this disease, and we have all run into people who should never have passed the medical board exams. Instead of Hippocratic Oath, I think they took the Hypocrit Oath. You rest up, believe in yourself and in what your body is telling you. Ignore the ignorant, and keep pushing to get into the Rheumy's office sooner. We love you, honey, and we're here when you need us.
