Could someone translate for me? SIB? NBD?

I hit myself in the head from a very early age until about 4 years ago (when

a doctor friend scared me into stopping). The hitting was always centered

on the rear of the head, right where the spine meets the skull. Hitting

that area would give me a mild endorphin rush, which helped with some of the

compulsions. I wasn't aware that other OCDs did this, though - is it

common? My mother tells me that I always used to sit on the couch and bang

my head against the headrest as a child.

SIB = self injurious behavior

NBD = neurobiological disorder

Hi , I don't know if Self-Injurious Behaviors (SIBs) are common in OCD,

but judging from posts here and things I've read in books, they are not

uncommon. (The other abbreviation I used is NBD = neurobiological

disorder.)

My daughter says hitting herself in the head helps a bad thought go away.

She balls her fist and hits herself repeatedly and hard on the side of her

head, sort of an intense version of the gesture I've seen many people make

when they've forgotten something. However she never head banged as an baby

or toddler, this started in the months following her OCD onset when she was

five.

HI :

SIB = self-injurious behavior

NBD = neurobiological disorder

YOu are describing a form of head banging which is probably more impulsive

than compulsive since it provides a measure of satisfaction and sounds like

it was not preceded by anxiety.

Headbanging is a symptom which can be part of other NBDs from what I have

read. Good luck, take care, aloha, Kathy

Hi Barbara,

I would back up all those who mentioned Neem... I have cured many dogs

(several breeds) using a block of Neem soap and following with a final rinse

of 2 tablespoons cider vinegar in 4 litres water to restore the acid balance

to the hair.

If you prefer you can use Neem shampoo but this is deregent based and I like

to keep away from detergents (baby shampoo is one of the worst shampoos on

the market...it analyses out similar to carpet shampoo!!!).

For my own hair and that of my family I use liquid Castille into which I

have added 1% mixed lavender and rosemary oils and 2% vegetable glycerine. I

follow with the same rinse as the dog (:-)) but again have added the EO's

and glycerine.

Blessings,

Ravenna

Hello,Jenaka here

My husband and I fought the SSA for almost 2 years for his disability

benefits and I finally went and talked to a Lawyer trough our local Legal

Aid place and they had a Lady Lawyer that specialized in disability cases,

lo and behold; 6 months later we had a court date and it was approved. It is

always better to show up with a lawyer. We have lost our home and property

because my husband could not work and I could not safe it by myself. Anyone

that needs to go on disability benefits should get a Lawyer right from the

beginning so they do not end up like us. Most Legal Aid outfits have

specialists for that kind of thing and they do not take any money out of

your payments either like a regular lawyer would.

Check if there is anything like that in your area and please utilize it, it

will save you a bundle of money.

Another thing to remember is to collect ALL your doctors records and make

sure the Judge that is looking in to your case has them long before you get

there. And I mean every little record you have concerning this, even cash

receipts for Over-the -counter meds, special equipment, ( we had to get

portable potty, handbars for the shower, etc) special foods, in short

receipts for everything you have to buy that you would not buy if you where

healthy. Heck I even included store receipts for Chamomile tea.

And finally one last tip for when you go to court: when you first go in

there tell the judge that you can not sit or stand or be in one position for

very long and then during the hearing get up and try to get circulation into

your legs, do whatever you need to do to feel comfortable while you are in

that court room. A lot of people do not want to be a bother to others, in

this case it is different: let that judge see just how you feel. Don't

hesitate to ask for water if it is time to take your medications either.

This is what our lawyer told us to do and it worked. We spend all of 20 min

inside and walked out with a full disability.

Oh one more thing: if there is any way to proof to them how long you have

been disabled and could not do your normal everyday chores or work, make

every effort to proof that, they will go back that time and reimburse you

for up to 2 years. But you have the burden to show that to them. Otherwise

they will give you maybe 6 months back if you are lucky.

Well so much for our experience with the disability Courts.

Good luck

Jenaka

Hi Abigail, thanks for sharing that. Who was your Dr. if you don't

mind me asking? Would you mind sharing info. about her such as the

age she got her cast on & what type (area & direction) of curve with

what degree's (Cobb & RVAD measurements) if you know them. What were

they able to get her curve to just out of curiosity, how is she

now? If you have a chance to share.. thanks again!

**Also, we got that spreadsheet set up under the " Links " section to

the left here, the folder is called C.A.S.T. Group Data, you should

try and input your daughter's info. if you can for comparisons!

:

I have a csection incision that gets itchy and red but never gets sores or opens up but

from a young age, I've been a mosquito magnet. As a dog groomer, I could tell you if your dog had fleas without seeing any on the dog. Same with ringworm and mange. When I would tell the owner , they would look at me like I was crazy but inevitally, they next appointment the animal would have indeed had some sort of parasite.

We always attributed it to my being a redhead, but perhaps we should be more aware earlier in life of these signs.

I always thought that my blood was just more tasty than the average persons ...........to an insect ;-)

Along a very old ski scar on my cheek, I have been getting an inflammation every 4-5 years, which ends in a scab and goes away in 10 days.This time, it started again, formed several scabs, wandering up and down the ski scar. My doctor thought it might have been an undisolved stitch from the original injury, went digging around, and found a couple of what he though were old sutures.The thing has been treated with Keflex and Cipro antibiotics and will not go away. We have a biopsy, and there is no malignancy. I remember from last summer that every mosquito bite became a major production.Are others experiencing very long healing times for what should be small sores or bites?************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I'm glad someone is finally discussing this! I have

noticed that I can consume some gluten with no adverse

affects. An occasional (twice a year) donut does not

bother me at all.

A few months ago, I did an experiment. I had a donut

one day, no problem. The next day, I had a burger

with the bun. No problem. The next day, I had a

slice of pizza (minus the cheese). Big problems!

I wouldn't go back to eating gluten on a regular basis

because of this, but it is good to know that if I get

some by accident, it's not a big deal.

So yes, I agree with the idea that there are degrees

of celiac disease. Perhaps it has to do with if you

have one copy of the gene, or two?

I find that a reaction to any gluten (and I mean a crumb) can occur

up to a week from ingestion (this I base on eating out and potential

cross contamination, NOT actually putting it in my mouth

deliberately) then eating at home for days. And then getting a

classic glutened response.

I am extremely sensitive, so I could never

do the test run, but even if I could ingest gluten with no side effects the

idea of “cheating” doesn’t seem fitting.  I am told that all

it takes is an 1/8 tsp to do damage and that each time gluten enters a Celiac’s

system it does damage…and the long term effects of cancer, infertility

and osteoporosis keep me far away.

I was given the example of “CD is

not like diabetes were you can cheat with a piece of cake on your birthday and

deal with the consequences.  A one time cheat adds to the cumulative damage.” 

Anyone else this way?

Lori,

How long have you been GF? That might have something to do

with your “non reaction”. For both myself & my best

friend, we both noticed that the longer we go w/o gluten, the more we feel it

when we do.

While yes, I do agree that there are degrees of the disease, I think

it is far more accurate to say there are degrees of reaction. I’ve

met asymptomatic celiacs (meaning they can NEVER tell when they have gluten, no

matter how much or how often – they suddenly find out when a bone snaps in

half.

My point is that someone like that can have the same amount of gluten

I do and never know it, but chances are we are both getting the same (or similar)

amount of damage.

So just be careful.
