Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Deneen, I've seen pilates done on TV and it looks HARD - good for you!! I've been exercising everyday. I've been walking, hiking on weekend, and doing floor exercises and lots of stretching. I've lost 9 lbs. I'm so excited that my body has finally let me have control. Exercising 2-3 times a week wasn't cutting it for me. I had to realize that it may be harder for me than non-thyroid sufferers, but the time I spent complaining and obsessively thinking about how hard it would be, I am not using to exercise. I just joined a gym last night so I can do some weight resistance. It doesn't hurt that my insurance reimburses me $150. I used to drag before to exercise and now I almost thrive on it and look forward to it. What a great feeling! Best, ----Original Message Follows---- From: jezebel56@...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 As far as I know the subcutaneous technique is the same. Pinch the skin. 45 degree angle. The directions should be with the insert in the box. If you're still uncertain call Enliven services or Immunex. RE [ ] Stupid question I finally decided to go back on Enbrel after over a year without taking it, and I see the needle kind of changed, but anyways, what is the right angle to the skin,? Should it go right underneat it , paralel to the skin, or just straight ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD): PDD is a generic term referring to a group of disorders that are characterized by : impairments in social interaction, impairment in verbal and nonverbal communication, and a restrictive, stereotypic pattern of behaviours. There is considerable variability in symptoms among individuals with PDD and considerable variability in the severity of these symptoms. There are a variety of disorders that fall under this category (including Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Rett's Syndrome, etc.). If you are AS you are PDD. I don't see how you could be AS and not be PDD, but I don't usually think if they tell you AS that they would say also PDD, as PDD is the umbrella.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 No questions are stupid, remember that! PDD is the umbrella handle. <G> All the PDD's are under that heading. AS is a PDD.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I am sure this has been answered by now, but before I leave I thought I would just add my input:) First NOTHING is a stupid question, because I think I have asked all of the REALLY stupid ones (*Grin* just kidding!) I will try to say this in " " simple terms (SO I won't mess you up more) but Autistic Spectrum disorders can be broken down into several different catagories. Autistic Disorder, Asperger Syndrome, and PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder, ) Some people diagnose both together, but in reality I don't get why. To me, PDD means, " I know your child is on the spectrum, but I am not sure where he/she fits, so he will go here!) Once you have the Asperger's as a diagnosis, I don't see the point in PDD. Perhaps in your area, people help more with PDD, not A.S. so he is trying to help you out. It wouldn't hurt to ask. IF he is really good, he will be more than willing to explain that to you (Which, I would love to hear his response!) There are other disorders but those 3 above, at this time, fall in that 'spectrum'. I hope that helps. I like to think of myself as an Aspie with an Attitude, and personally don't really care any more where I fall, as long as the landing is soft *Grin* IF that doesn't make sense, that is ok:) SOmetimes, neither do I:) *smiles* B > > Alright, I should KNOW this, but I'm a MS patient and my memory is not > always what it should be. > What is the diff between PDD and Asperger's?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi Bernie ! " surgery " seems a little extreme to describe the process for the newer implants (those with a removable magnet like the Advanced Bioncs 90K implant). All the doctor does is make a small (0.5 inch) incision, then removes the magnet from the implant (the implant itself stays in place). It is then replaced after the MRI. My doc told me it takes 10 minutes to do this.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 , That is true but... Its highly unlikely that low power MRI's are even used in this country. The norm is 1.5 tesla. Low power MRI's wont give near the detail in the images that a doctor would need. The cochlear implants that have removable magnets only require a fast removal of the magnet under local, run the MRI, then pop the magnet back in. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* Law of the Theatre: At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last. & Dreamer Doll (Guide Dawggie) Newport, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rclark0276@... http://webpages.charter.net/dog_guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm just wondering....is it okay for my son to lie on his back when he is wearing the band? My mom was watching him today and she asked me if it was okay to play with him on his back now because before I was so hypersensitive to him laying on his back. The helmet prevents his flatness by putting pressure elsewhere than the flat part of his head, right? Sorry for my lack of intelligence on this one.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Absolutely! This is why most people find some relief in the helmet when they were repositioning before. There's no more checking on them 10 times a night to make sure they are off their flat spot  Elaine (twin A), plagio & tort, 10 1/2 mos, 2nd helmet since 1/5/09 MI On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 1:27 AM, sweetcowgirl2062 <sweetcowgirl2062@...> wrote: it is totally fine. my son has had the helmet for 2 months and always lays on his back for play time. he rolls a lot as wellhope this helpsif u have any more questions just ask mekendri where are u from??

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Well if you are saying to directly place on the thyroid yes you would have to cut into the neck to do that.
