Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hi all-- Unfortunately I didn't see the original script, so this maybe alittle off. Yes, change the nutritional habits. Have lots of fruit around. I didn't do well when I was a kid in weight watchers. They were mean and nasty and made sure to tell me that if I remained fat, and ugly, no one would want me. So be careful. Give her lots of love, and compassion. After school stuff is great, esp. dancing. Please whatever you do, do not condemn her or make her feel unworthy. I know what that is like because I've been there. Don't even use the word diet. Give positive reinforcement. If there is something going on in the family, find out how she feels about it. And yes, let her have a treat once in a while. Caron MGB 3/27/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Send her to the diet camp in La Jolla, Ca. It is great for weight loss and for self esteem. Long term results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 , Have you called the local hospital to make an appointment with one of the dietitions? That would be a really good source for all your information. I would also suggest couseling. If the family can't afford it, call the local mental health dept to ask about reduced rate/free couseling. If they have insurand and can afford therapy, they need to find someone who specializes in children and behavior modification or behavior training. Good luck on your project. in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Have her talk to the kids pediatrician. I remember that had something just like that. If she were my kid, I would get every bit of junk out of the house. Sugar free and caffeine free drinks only, proteins, no white bread or carbs but only complex carbs, fruits, veggies, salads, yogurt, low fat but NOT no fat, they need that. Suggestions Hi Everyone, I have a question and would like input. I take care of a six year old girl before and after school. I've known her mom since she was a child. Anyway, the family in general has a weight problem except the granddad. The little girl was fairly normal in weight until about 18 months ago, When she started gaining. She seems to have a somewhat obsession with food, which we believe is due to emotional issues, the parents are divorced and things are not exactly friendly. The mother and I would like to come up with some kind of eating program that will help her to make healthy choices and keep form gaining more, right now she weighs in at 90 pounds, and maybe even lose some of the weight. I have been looking on the web, and can not really find suggestions for what constitutes a " healthy " diet for a six year old, other than follow the food pyramid, which in my person opinion is not what she needs. Too many carbs, for someone who gains easily. What I am looking for is how many fruits, how many veggies, how many proteins how many milks, etc should a child of this age have in order to be healthy, I guess I am wanting more specific information than just follow the food pyramid! I want to make her some visuals that she can use to pick her foods. Give her control. Like if she can have 3 fruits, then 3 cards with fruits that she can exchange in a day for fruits. Etc. Suggestions where I could find information like that? Hugs, LyndaV 296/195 Dr. Zinni 9/5/2001 ...Contact me privately. ...I am always happy to be a contact. Cushing Oklahoma USA p8nlady@...

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 great point Pat! Also, is this kid in any after school programs? I can guarantee you that if she goes home alone after school, she will use food as her companion. Re: Suggestions Hi Lynda, I work with kids every day and I think that besides teaching this little one how to eat properly, her mother should think about getting her counseling. Many of us know that we eat to fufill an emptyness inside, or for whatever emotional need that we need to fill at that moment. Someone needs to get at the basis of this child's overeating and try to work from there. That along with teaching her to eat healthy should give her a wonderful start. It is great that she has you in her life to help her out. Pat Iurato Nevada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Thanks Pat, As a matter of fact the mom has started her in counseling last week. Should have heard the hullabaloo everyone caused, The grandparents, there isn't anything she won't outgrow, and the dad, can't you use some doctor in network so I don't have to pay more than $8! Didn't even ask what was so wrong she needed counseling! But yes, she is in counseling. She comes home to me everyday, I guess you could say I am her companion. I know she is using food. Like I said she is sort of obsessed with it. And of course it is not the good stuff she is obsessed about, it's the *good* stuff, candy, cheese sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ice cream, cookies....... Her Grandmother contributed big time last year, Grandmother decided that she wasn't eating at noon at school. So when she would pick her up from pre school at 3 pm, she would take her to McD's and buy a Happy Meal then take her home and feed her a meal, that she HAD to eat everything at 5:30. This woman should know better! She had a weight problem herself and when she had surgery for a different reason talked the doctor into reducing the stomach more than would have been done with the surgery she went in for. The mom weighs over 290 and is 5'11:. The Uncle weighs over 400 and is barely 5'5 " ! I hope we can get a handle on it and get her headed in the right direction, she is joy of a child. The reason mom wants to head off with the counseling at 6 years old, is because she sees the small problems now, and doesn't wait until the problems explode as a teenager! Thanks for your input.....

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Weight Watcher used to have a program for children. It is a balanced program, so perhaps that would be a good place to start.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 , That's a wonderful idea, I'll have to talk to her mom about that one....... I forgot to mention in the previous post, that the mother couldn't get the girl into an in network doctor, but she talked to her insurance company about putting her daughter on her policy at least for the time she would be in counseling. The INSURANCE company suggested that the mother go in for the counseling for herself, since the purpose would be to improve parenting skills to help the daughter cope with the situations better then she would also be getting counseling. And the insurance will cover it at $10.00 a visit! And the counselor while not a psychologist is a child social worker. Who works with a psychologist. What an insurance company!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 , It is a good insurance com/ Our co pay is 15 for cousenling. I've had both my boys with a socal worker that specializes in kids. He has been a big help with my youngest (13) with ADD inattentive type and ODD (oppositional defiant disorder). I wish this mom luck. It can be a real battle of the wills but she is starting at a age that is much more workable. Hugs to her support system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 You have to be careful . If you get that stringent with a kid that they can't have ANYTHING - they will probably rebel. Just think how we all reacted to dieting and being deprived???? Alot of us binged when we got the chance!! The counseling is an excellent suggestion - try to find out if she is a Obsessive Compulsive eater - it may be that she is like many of us (including me) that FOOD is her comfort and drug of choice. I think it would help for her to understand - WHY she eats and then take a common sense approach to dealing with the problem. Weight watchers is one of the healthiest approaches to dieting and it is realistic. It also allows for some treats and incorporates exercise into the program. Remember a diet program should be something realistic and something that you can live with.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Lynda, This child needs not only a diet program but alos a counselor to help her develop healthy ways to cope with stress besides EATING. THis is how many obese people started with problems and the cause of the overeating MUST be addressed. You should consult with a dietician and/or pediatrician for a plan but Weight Watchers is an excellent common sense approach that incorporates exercise and allows for treats within the program - so it is realistic!!! Best of Luck!! Carol RN Suggestions > Hi Everyone, > I have a question and would like input. > > I take care of a six year old girl before and after school.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Dear Dawn, I decided to check out this link and found an interesting site on DNA testing for enzymes there. I didn't know if you and or Jim Harper had come across this one or not so I went ahead and copied it. If you've already checked it out that's okay, I just didn't want it to slide by without someone noticing it. http://www.healthanddna.com/drugreactiontest.html Hugs, Lynda Suggestions Dear Dawn, Try this link.. http://depression.about.com/mbody.htm Don't get too urgent about that one. There's a whole bunch in my new battleground. You can't save them all on the first day and you're already overworked. The forum is seriously pro drug and I'm up to my ass in alligators there. Steve and a few others were trying to rescue me, but they get a little too upset with guys like Corpsehumper and friends. I figure that if I keep the argument going on, others will see that Mr. Humper and friends don't have anything to offer except that " the drug makes me feel good so it must be good for me " and will check out the sites and links I provide. Glad to hear you don't have lawywers on all the stuff. I always won my own cases and have had difficulty when using lawyers.(Just small claims stuff on business dealings). I'm not going to give out your email address. I want you and some others to join and start pushing an anti drug agenda in there. No rush, I'm in no danger of losing the battle.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hospital is VERY different than retail, but the goal is the same: Medications to the patient! In hospital pharmacies, your're working with pneumatic tubes, dispensing machines (pyxis and robots), IV pumps, etc. Bulk IV antibiotics, chemotherapy preparations will also be on your " plate " . It's a good idea to keep any information you get, plus check out any recipes for preparing IV and oral meds and make copies for yourself if you're allowed. I put together a " poor man's PDA " with up to date information we use at Lehigh Valley Hospital. Keep in mind, however, what's used at my facility might not be used at another. Hospital pharmacy deals more with " stats " , too, so be prepared to make the drug FAST AND ACCURATE! Get to know where the patient care units are if you need to hand deliver meds. (Not all meds can be tubed.) Prioritizing tasks also plays a role. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand something. (I've been doing this for over 25 years and still ask questions.) Keep your head above water! > we're starting externship I'll be in hosp. pharmacy I've done retail > but this will be new water.Any heads up on stuff it'll also include > IV room.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I went to the doctor this morning (finally!) after I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. I can't breathe and I haven't been able to eat anything in four days, which bites. I'm hungry. She switched me over to something else, took a culture, told me to eat nothing but yogurt, and to accept the fact that I'm going to get horribly sick (but hopefully less allergic swelling without the Ceftin), and we're out of antibiotics. At least she's honest. I've got my fingers crossed that the culture is positive for something. Lori, , Barb - In a batch, because I don't want to screw up who said what. I do understand the benefit of ASA desensitization for people. I guess the bottom line is that I'm not there. I'm not psychologically ready, I'm scared, and we still haven't ruled out CF or the presence of some other syndrome. I'm a good match for CF, other than my weight, but I need genetic testing, not the sweat test. , I'm interested in the fact that you didn't go into the NAET a hardcore believer. It might be worth a try, since it certainly sounds less painful than the alternatives. I'll look around. I am really eating 650 or less a day. I know it's not healthy, but it's the only way I've found to drop weight. Otherwise, I can't. On a normal 1200 calorie diet/exercise plan, I gain. The more I weigh, the more stress on my breathing. As I mentioned earlier, I'm somewhere between a 14 and 16 at the moment, which is a lot on a 5'2'' frame. My TSH tests have always been in the normal range. My doctors aren't the types to talk numbers with me. I think I just have a hard time losing weight, even off the prednisone. Also, since I'm unable to get any exercise right now, I doubt I'm burning many calories. Lori, I doubt I'm Churg-Strauss. I don't have any of the hand/foot muscle wasting and this is the first problem I'm had with my kidneys. (See also, failure to lose weight.) Which I guess is fine, since I saw that the treatment was corticosteroids, which has a certain irony. Sometimes, I'd like to know what the heck is going on REALLY. Right now, I have my hopes pinned on the culture. I've slept 8 hours in four days - I can't breathe lying down. I keep telling myself I'll be better soon, but two weeks in...I think I'm kind of losing my faith in all of this. (Or, it could just be the antibiotics, which tend to make me feel as though the world is ending and *sob* why doesn't anyone understand the tragedy of life? *eye roll at strangely-reactive self*) I have to go take care of the fact that my ears have started spontaneously dripping fluid down my jaw(?) Samter's...always an adventure. Y'all rock, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Dear Jess, If your calorie intake is so low I think that can cause you to get sick. Your body may not have the nutrients it needs to fight off infection. Does your doctor know of your low calerie intake? There has to be a better solution. You may have a low thyroid. This can cause you to gain weight no matter what you do. You could ask your doctor to check it and also see if your doctor uses your temperature as a guage too. I think the thyroid can be low and not show up on the test because I showed on the low range of out of normal and I couldn't even drive safely I was so tired! I think it just takes a long time for the prednisone to get out of your system. Maybe once it is out of your system you will be able to lose weight. Jess, it seems you have a very severe case of Samters. But it can get cured, I really believe this. What does your doctor mean when she says to accept the fact that you are going to get horribly sick? Why are you out of antibiotics? Are you allergic to them? Have you tried ester c or allergy c? I have actually cured infections with these alone. Maybe you could try them. Take just one and see how you feel for six hours or so. Feel OK, take more. I take huge amounts when I'm sick and it really helps. Please try NAET. Maybe you are allergic to your antibiotics or your medicines. They can test you and find out and treat you for it. You seem to be really reacting to something in a severe way. NAET can find out what it is. You can be better soon but sometimes you need to look outside the standard medical field. Some things they don't seem to be able to help with. NAET can probably help you with the weight issue too. That too could be an allergy to something. Have you gotten the culture back yet? Why is your doctor so negative? I think I'd try to find someone who is positive - how can they help you if they are negative? Dripping fluid down your jaw - I had fluid in my ears too - all part of Samters. Re: Suggestions << File: ATT00007.html >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hello Manoj, Its good to know that you are doing your thesis on the topic of Improving the Current Status in Pharmacovigilance Programme. I think you will get most of the answers on improving it as Dr Desai suggested if you go through my article recently published in IJP. Also I suggest that you should start to think and put forth your ideas into the thesis, as it will then be something original. Yes, we are all there to help you, but ideas should also come from you on this, thats my understanding. Also you will need collective influencing of Indias policy matters at the Health Scretary level which I think cannot be done by one single thesis work. (I hope I am wrong but I think people at that level do not listen and care!) Regarding MNCs outsourcing work to Indian KPOs, that is good but they will not outsiource the good part of pharmacovigilance ever. It will only be the case processing bits that they are going to out source. However, I admit that even for that one has to have a good training in PhV and if one already has that earlier before applying for the jobs then they will definitely have a better chance to get the job in this competitive market. So the main thing all bils down to good training in PV to understand all its complexities, as it is not a tick box exercise like clinical trials! Good luck! Dr Pipasha Biswas Suggestions Hello NetRUMians,It feels great to know about the views of different people about the National Phrmacovigilance Programme and their experiences in this field...I am convinced that Pharmacovigilance is evolving rapidly in India and has a long way to go...Thanks to the Multinational Pharma Companies who are outsourcing their Global Operations to Indian KPOs.. Now, I would like to know from each one of you to give suggestions and opinions on "How to improve the Current Status of the Pharmacovigilance Programme?"...No problem even if its a little vague suggestion.. .U never know what will work in India!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi, I am having to deal with the issue of keeping up nutrition and not losing too much weight after my esophagectomy. I usually eat food that will pack in the protein and unsaturatured fat. I minimize eating " empty " calories such as bread, potatoes, and other starches. Just today, I rediscovered black olives and hummus. If your father doesn't mind the saturated fat, cheesecake is a great way to pack in the calories. Full-fat cottage cheese, with pinapple, is also easy to swallow and can pack on the calories. When I was recovering from the surgery, yummy Boston baked beans were very easy to swallow and also pack in the calories. I eat beef, in some form, nearly every day to keep up my iron levels. I also eat lots of fresh fruit, cut up and mixed in orange juice (such as rasberries, blueberries, very sweet ripe pinapple, oranges). Watermelon in particular is very easy to swallow and helps get in the fluids. I like soft lettuce and spinach, but I do have trouble with fresh veggies that aren't flexible such as cucumber. Hope these ideas help for your situation. Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
