Hi Pam,

Only have a moment now. But generally I think parents should go with

their gut feeling about what seems to apply (Aspergers?) to their

children.

When reading your post, anxiety certainly came across as applying to

Jake. Also depression. You mentioned those of course. (Depression

could play a part in the hygiene problem.) " Obsessive-Compulsive

Disorder " (OCD) could be playing a role in some ways. I'm not ruling

out Aspergers, but thought I'd add that OCD might be in there

somewhere. You can read about it at the OCD Foundation website.

Autism does have some obsessive OCD type behaviors but that's

different (meaning you can have both - my 18 yr old son does).

Anyway, I agree there's more to Jake than being a defiant teenager.

I can see why bipolar comes to mind if there is a family member with

it since it seems to run in families. I think professionals will

sometimes go with that if there are problems and they find

out " bipolar " is in the family history somewhere.

Go with your gut, with your knowledge of diagnoses with your other

children/family and from what you read, and you're the one who knows

him best, raised him, your instinct is probably right.

Quick thoughts,

Pam, how old is your son? I had the same problem with my son during his last year of high school (the last semester). He out and out refused to go. We worked out a compromise that he would go and sit in the reception area and read a book for an hour every day. This was a private school (that he went to on public dollars), so they did a lot of thinking outside the box/creative problem solving. I really worried about how he would do in college. The first semester was hard, but the second semester, he really shone. Now he's starting his sophomore year. He's very depressed, so once again, I'm worried about how he'll do. sigh.LizOn Sep 3, 2007, at 10:44 PM, pjrd67@... wrote:Hi.

(r ight now he is running around 6 years behind) He does not like loud noises or bright lights. He is very clumsy and awkward on his feet, and school is extremely hard for him. He has extreme anxiety. Some days he can't leave the house. When he is nervous or upset, he talks a mile a minute. His speech is slurred a lot of the time and he mumbles. He does not sleep much at all and has a hard time falling asleep. He takes Abilify and Tegretal for his anxiety as well as Neurontin. Without the Neurontin Jake self mutilates badly.  Right now he is in a residential placement because the state felt he would be better off there because I couldn't get him to go to school. High school was impossible for Jake. He lost his counselor of three years, he lost his teacher of three years, he lost his classmates, and the whole school day was different than before. He could not handle this and he fell apart. The anxiety got so bad that he threw up every morning when I tried to get h im to school. He gets depressed at times and has been hopitalized for this as well. I have mentioned Asperger to the place he is staying but they say no and that he is just being a defiant teenager.

Pam, I also have a 16 year old with Asperger's. We have had many ups and downs with him (especially while he was prepubertal). He is now in 11th grade and seems to have turned a corner. He is extremely challenging and parenting him is not at all what I thought it would be. I have learned to be extremely flexible and pick my battles.

[low dose naltrexone] New to the group

Hi,I am a 55 yr. old gal with multiple auto-immune diseases. It

started out when I was in my 20's when I was first ill but it took

until 1987 before someone was sharp enough to figure me out.

The first to show it'self was the IBD, and sort of snowballed into

R.A., Sjogrens, Cushings, also diabetes. All cross over each other and

I have so many that even I forget what all I have. There may be

somethings not verified but at this point I don't care as they all

make me have muscle and joint pain. I amnot to take steriods anymore

as am big as a house with 20 yrs. of lb. gain. I have been on

Methotrexate, Asacol, you name it. Just lots of other

drugs for many years. I started on Naltrexone about 8 months now. For

me it was a slow process. I catch myself doing things that a year ago

I just could not do. My sister told me that last Easter I had to lean

on the counter to peel potatoes, I did not notice and I was like, wow

I don't do that now...really ???? Also I was on a cane and now walk

just fine and ride a bike. No way would I be doing that before. People

around me notice the changes also. So am sticking with it. I have a

hospital 100 miles from me that compounds the capsules and even mails

them for free which is so nice of them. For anyone in the U.P. of

will help you. They are just so good about it. So happy to be talking

to others. Am very interested in what everyone has to say. One thing I

have heard however from friends is that some Dr. are so hesitant to RX

Naltrexone. No idea why. My Brother-in-law is a M.D. and he is now

Rx-ing it for some of his patients. I guess they are afraid of

Hiya Helen

Welcome to the group. I am from Michigan, too.

What is your brother-in-law's name and where does he practice? Please send this info to me directly rather than to this whole group.

Do your health issues include rheumatoid arthritis and asthma or allergies? Have you seen relief from these, too?

How did you first learn about LDN and who prescribed it for you?

Thanks, mjh

PS I went to Michigan Tech.... sort of down the road a piece from Marquette.

Wonderful news you are doing so well on LDN, Helen, and welcome

to this big LDN group.

May now you will be able to lose some of that extra poundage.

Has LDN decreased your appetite at all, at least for junk? (Of course

with exercise you need to eat sufficient good foods to maintain your

lean

body mass. Don't wanna lose that at our age if we possibly can avoid it;

I am 57. )

LDN has decreased my appetite but not so certain about my husband's,

who is severely overweight and trying to lose since his heart surgery.

Best health,

Jo

Hi Helen,

Welcome to the group!

You will love it here -

this is a really helpful, positive, supportive, non-judgemental group.

If I may ask, which form of IBD do you have?

I have UC. I am hoping any day now there will be a protocol for

getting off 6MP and Remicade, and onto LDN.

Sounds like the LDN has really improved your life.

I would think that reading the book by Caryn Serrousi on Autism and PDD would

be a great place to start to think about the GFCF diet. I would think reading

the books by Defelice (I am sure I am not spelling their names right so

keep looking you'll come across these books) on Enzymes would be a great

place to start to figure out where to start on enzymes. I read both authors and

really learned a lot. They are both Parents themselves. Laurie

I was wondering if you could all give me advice on where to start in

using enzymes with my son. He is 4 1/2 and has been diagnosed with

PDD-NOS. We have been doing therapy with him since he was 2 and have

seen tremendous progress. He has pretty intense sensory needs. We

have not had any blood work done on him, so I don't know if anything

would show up on that. I don't really notice any reactions to

specific types of foods and he seems to be regular as far as bowel

movements go. I've heard so much about the GFCF diet though, that I

wonder if we should try it. He does still have the belly that sticks

out, which could be a sign of some gastro problems, but like I said,

I don't know what would be triggering it. I was looking up GFCF when

I came across a site on enzymes, which led me to research, which led

me here. I trust what other parents have to say, although I do know

that each child is different. Any advice you could all offer would be

wonderful.

I do have him on some supplements. He has seen a contact

reflexologist who has put him on RNA for brain function, and we also

give him the omega's. We have seen remarkable differences with both

supplements.

Thank you,

Addriane

The way food sensitivities work, you usually don't notice a direct

reaction with the food. The kids tend to eat gluten and casein at

every meal and have chronic symptoms. I know of a lot of kids with

sensory issues that got much better, or went away, on the GF/CF diet.

Some kids do fine on the enzymes and some kids still need the diet.

Hi Camille,

I sent you quite a number of saved posts with experiences from those with MS. Those were only since November of 2007. There are plenty more if you wish me to send them along. I will also look to see what I have saved on Hypothyroid. But I am not sure I have many saved items regarding that area.

Hi Camille,

The casehealth.com.au database contains health success stories

There's also a free booklet on the website that contains 5 MS/LDN

Doing great on LDN for MS after about 5-6 months. I had an initial increase in symptoms(scary at first since I really didn't have symptoms to start with), but no sleeping problems. I have a slight decrease in appetite which took off some weight that I didn't need to lose(not a bad thing during the holidays!). Very happy that I found this group and LDN. Most days, I don't even know I have MS. Take care, and Happy New Year.

Doing great on LDN for MS after about 5-6 months. I had an initial increase in symptoms(scary at first since I really didn't have symptoms to start with), but no sleeping problems. I have a slight decrease in appetite which took off some weight that I didn't need to lose(not a bad thing during the holidays!). Very happy that I found this group and LDN. Most days, I don't even know I have MS. Take care, and Happy New Year.

Hi , nice to hear about your case.

I am on LDN for 25 days now an on MS for 14 years. Doing great for 2 weeks, the 3d week I had some mild very old symptoms. They become more and more mild as the days pass but it is still a bit scary since, like you, I didn't have symptoms to start with and my case is benign. Can you tell me how long it took you to get rid of these symptoms? I don't experience any loss of appetite or weight I don't need to lose (I am underweight) but I feel I need more hours of sleep, while being very active and experiencing no fatigue.

I am new to the group and happy with it.

Happy and Healthy New Year to you and to all the other folks.

Best wishes,

Katerina
