Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Kathleen, does sit in the " W " position at all? At Kolby's 15 month check, his pediatrician commented on how extremely flexible he was when he was doing his hip motion check. All we could figure out was that it was from the " W " sitting. That's the way he sat with the casts and that is the way he has always sat in the brace. He said that he could not tell that it was causing any problems. He was just very flexible. I know that the whole " W " sitting thing is not supposed to be good for them (and looks painful) but that is the only way he has ever wanted to sit????

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 - With regards to 's sitting-he usually sits with his feet and legs in a straight line-after he manages to push himself up from the split position-his legs then naturally come together-he only goes to the W position when is reaching for a toy or transitioning to the ground. HE loves to eat his toes and he can put his feet behind his head. His PT thinks that he was in the jackknife position in the womb and that is why he is so flexible in the hips. I remember my gymnastics days back when I was five and was able to do the things he does. Since he is my first child, I just wanted to make sure this was " natural " -I hate second guessing myself!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Good days and bad days are typical for most of us.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Mine was done at the Medical College of Wi/Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee in 1997. It was expensive also, do not have the papers right now. My military insurance did pay all but our deductible. We also had a supplement at the time so paid like $500 out of pocket which was our copay. One problem we had was that they coded all the paperwork chronic fatique syndrome so they would at first not pay for anything. It all had to be recoded. Then the doctor had to write a medical necessity letter explaining the difference why a MRS was needed rather than a regular more routine and less expensive MRI.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yesterday, I had something strange happen. I noticed my eyes were involuntarily moving (slight) and could not keep them completely focused on the TV. This lasted for about an hour and then was ok. I had my annual eye exam recently and other than dry eyes and superficial inflammation, the eye dr said was ok. I've never had this happen before and was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything like this...Blessings,Becky Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Dear Becky, Yes, this happens to me and was one of the reasons the doctors did brain MRI. What you are having is called nystagmus. It is part of the neurosarcoidosis. Mac Tosh wrote: Yesterday, I had something strange happen.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Becky, did you have any vertigo or other symptoms along with the eye movement? I do experience this (nystagmus), along with vertigo, when I lie flat, look up, or turn my head to the right. I've also had at least one episode without the vertigo. My neurologist started talking to me, then suddenly said, "You're having nystagmus. Did you know that?" Which I didn't. Because it was a new symptom, he ordered an MRI, which of course didn't show anything. After the MRI, he provoked an episode in the office, which also provoked the vertigo. He feels it's BPV--benign positional vertigo, possibly sarc-related, altho many people without sarc have it. No one else has mentioned my eyeballs moving, so as far as I know, it's mostly associated with the positional vertigo. I can't even change a lightbulb in the ceiling, or anything else that requires me to look up. Anyway, since it's a new symptom for you, tell your neurologist about it. If you don't have an appt soon, call the office & tell the nurse about it. They should get an MRI & possibly an ENT referral. Since I had already seen an ENT several times for the hearing loss & hx of vertigo, we didn't think I needed to go again, but you might need to, especially if you have other symptoms.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Rose,Thanks so much for your quick response. No vertigo. I was sitting/lying on the couch when it happened. My eyes were a little blurry and out of focus. No other symptoms. I can't have an MRI anymore b/c of the AICD. I'll see my doctor next week. If it happens again before then I'll definitely give them a call.Blessings,BeckyRose wrote: Becky, did you have any vertigo or other symptoms along with the eye movement?
