Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Hi , I have an 8 year old daughter with OCD. I also have OCD that started when I was about 4-5 years old. Speaking from personal experience, your daughter's life will be so much better just because you've caught the OCD early & she'll know that the OCD thoughts and behaviors, etc. are from an illness and arent' her fault. I was one of the ones who goes 25 years without knowing what OCD is, and I can tell you that your daughter is very fortunate to have a mom who's on top of it. Your daughter will probably always have good & bad days, meds or no; what helps my daughter (and would've helped me as a child) get thru bad days is patience, understanding and reassurance that it's not her fault, it's just part of OCD (for example, I was fine yesterday but today I can't leave my house at all!) If I can answer any questions or you just need a sympathetic ear, email me anytime. Best wishes to you & your daughter! from the desk of Carolynn Click here to visit my website: <A HREF= " http://trippyhippie.4dw.com " >http://trippyhippie.4dw.com</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hi , and welcome to the club. First let me say that noone is going to laugh at you here, unless of course you say something funny (hehe I know I am a dork). To be honest, I don't really have any advice for you, other than talk to a geneticist to find out if you are a dwarf (which by the way I think is defined as anyone 4'10 " and below) and if so what kind, because if you are there is the very definite possiblity that some of your children may be as well. How tall are you? I do know that there are over 150 kinds of dwarfism, so there is really no telling. I hope things go well for you, and make sure and let us know. Good luck!! (average height mother of Jake, and 11 month old achondroplastic dwarf) P.S. I know I wasn't really any help to you, I just wanted to let you know that it is okay to ask questions and that I care. >From: dnlee717@... >dwarfism >Subject: Hi I'm new here >Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2001 19:51:24 -0000 > >Hello there!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I have system candida, fibromyalgia, possibly arthritis, and new onset Diabetes. Uck. I have not had insurance for most of my life. Didn't qualify for assistance. One of those caught in between. Well, I saw a Dr who is convinced of the above, but won't start treatment without some kind of insurance. I figure it must not be life threatening - yet! So the thing to do would be to start with some cleansing and ?? Any suggestions? NanSea; Welcome to the group. The first part of the cleansing process is really quite easy to do, and will help for the rest of your life if continued. The first thing to do is to change eating habits that promote the type of problems of which the doctor has pointed out you have. Start working on a liver cleansing diet by eating food that enhances your intake of essential fatty acids and other nutrients, and will also work to help the intestines and colon too. Surprisingly enough this really isn't that hard to do. The first thing to do is to avoid such things as saturated animal fats and hydrogenated oils. This is imperative to good liver health and in turn general health of the rest of the body, including the small intestines and colon. Adding to that the avoidance of refined sugar or , even more importantly, aspartame, refined and bleached wheat flour, milk (not necessarily all milk products such as naturally made cheese and yogurt), and in general all synthetic vitamins or other chemicals as they tend to lack the holistic properties the body tends to seek, you're going to be able to notice results in a very short length of time. This is easy to do in one sense but really hard in others because of the addictive nature of fats and chemicals. However, if you get to a point where you've gone without fat foods or hydrogenated foods for some time it's really going to smell bad when walking into a place like Mcs or BurgerKing with the grease smell they have. When you get to that point eating a French fry is like eating a wad of grease, as it now will be more of a poison of which your body will prefer to reject, but to get to that point takes a bit of doing if the addiction is strong enough. There is the " oh, well, just this once " factor with which to contend. Jumping into a bowel cleansing program can have some strong effects too and should be considered in relation to the previous changes made. If you start eating foods, i.e. dieting, which are high in soluble and insoluble fiber and nutritious. Things will happen by just doing that, some good and some not so good. The good is the body changing and the bad is its addiction to the previous diet intake along with a potential healing crises making you feel pretty bad. It can enhance the pain of arthritis as well as cause body discomfort, but if adhered to as vehemently as possible the end result is one feeling better and better, at least for most people. Some more things to do are; eat your food, that is, chew it very well to let your teeth do the job for which they are made to do. This will provide your body more nutrition and soluble fiber to use. The soluble fiber will help the liver have some place to put the wastes that its depositing in the bile salts. insoluble fiber will help the soluble fiber to be moved along the intestinal track and out of the body in a shorter length of time. It is possible to do bowelcleansing by various modalities but not all are conducive for all people. There are diets with supplements and direct, more mechanical, means for doing this and do tend to help too. The use of enemas or colonics can go a long way towards getting the colon cleared and help the liver to get out toxins faster too. So, you'll find here a lot of information of which will be directing to those various things. I would also suggest checking out the curezone for a lot of good links too as Agnes has put together a very good website for helping those with various ills.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 Hi NanSea, I have most of what you have and will not go to the doctor. I'm totally convinced I can heal my self (with Gods help), and am also doing the gallstone cleanses. You are not alone. And I'm pretty new here, too. of Dewberry Hill My name is NanSea (sounds like ). I have system candida, fibromyalgia, possibly arthritis, and new onset Diabetes. Uck.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 Hi , Welcome to our group. They are a great gang with a wealth of information. I have a son with DS but has not been diagnosed. I have my share of problems with school. Your daughter certainly has the right to have proper supports and accomodations. The change of personnel is a major problem but there isn't too much you can do about that. If the aides are trained and doing there job properly your hands are tied. I would definately talk to the teacher and make sure that you have everything written into the IEP. If the IEP isn't benefitting her you need to have a meeting to change it. You need to be more specific about her program and the problems. I hope you can have all your questions answered to help Ariel. Charlyne Mom to Zeb almost 10 DS/OCD ?

If you give us the city/area, we can direct you to the best resource(s). I am guessing you are in either in Dallas area/North Texas/Houston because of the workshop listed. All of those 3 areas have a network of parents that can help guide you--and parent recommendations can help sort through some of the less attractive choices. Let us know how we can help.

I remember someone in this group suggested some groups that will help you with the Hep C. What stage of PBC are you in? Sorry for all the questions but the more we know the more you will learn. When were you diagnosed with PBC? We also have members with fibromyalgia, I just posted something yesterday about it. Do you know how to read past posts from the web page? At the bottom of this email there is a link to take you there. So just jump in and ask questions or share more about yourself. Jo Lynne transplanted for PBC May 15th 1995 re-occurrence '97 and AIH crossover '05 We use another chat room than the one on the web page we use the PBCers Chat Room. Every other thursday in the pbcers room on the pbcers site, is a new chat room just for people with both PBC and crossover AIH. If interested going here are the links needed. PBCers Unmoderated Chatroom possible.......Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Organization AKA PBCers The next chat will be a week from this thursday around 7:00 Eastern Standard Time ....to....

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hi Lorial, I have PBC-AIH overlap syndrome. The autoimmune hepatitis is in remission and has stayed that way for over a year now!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 HI and welcome! You will get tons of support and motivation here, believe me!! Lots of good, helpful info too. Congrats on your weight loss so far and good job on keeping it up. Having "programs" or challenges through work is an excellent way to motivate people. Mine first started a health@work walking program to get us off our duffs (desk jobs all day - LOL) and moving, so we got log books, pedometers and access to the website to log our steps. The "goal" was to walk a million steps in a year.... didn't think it would be possible.... and when we log our steps it shows us going up a mountain. Since June of last year, I have walked OVER 2 million (yes, 2,000,000) steps - climbed 8 mountains - and have lost weight and inches in addition!! That's really when my "diet and exercise" began. In October, I joined Curves to give myself something else fun to do for exercise. :-D I've lost 27 lbs and 42 inches so far.... a long way from my goal, which I keep waffling on what my "end goal" will be.... Again, welcome and look forward to getting to know you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi I'm new here I'm new here. My weight loss journey starts clear back as a kid. Welcome Lori.I'm currently working at loosing weight with a weight loss challenge through work. Good, I think it's always easier when you havesomeone doing it with you. I've had significant success a couple years ago when I lost 50 lbs. It took 6 months and I have see-sawed with about 10-15 lbs of that however have kept the majority of that weight off. Now I begin the next saga. I'm trying to loose weight down to a reasonable weight and using exercise and diet to do so. I just need some extra support to do that. That's what we are here for:) My most recent weigh in was 272 last Saturday.We are pretty close together. I started at 260. Will weigh in again at work tonight. I've lost around 2-2 1 /2 lbs per week since we started doing this 2 weeks ago at work. I had 110 pounds to lose when I started on Jan. 27th. I have been losing a hair over a pound a week. Hoping to keep at least the same weight loss per week although would love to boost that a little for a couple weeks. I have always hoped for 2 pounds a week but I seem to never get much over 1 pound a week. Even with lowing my calories. I think I need to boost my exercising.My exercise is usually 2-3 3 mile walks which takes around 1 hour each and then 2-3 strength based exercises at home which takes around 20-30 minutes to perform. Wow, sounds to me like you already have a plan thats working for you! I can tell that I feel better since exercising however I just need more help to continue on the way towards loosing weight and winning our challenge.I can't believe how much better i sleep and feel rested since I have been getting more exercise and losing weight. (We are going on % of weight lost not lbs since some only have 10-15 lbs to loose and others have a significant amount more to loose.) Look forward to seeing you make all your goals.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Jade Just wanted to say hello. I¹m also in England. North Norfolk but originally from London. My little boy has been in brace/cast since 3 months (he¹s 20 months now). He spent his first two months in NICU because he had breathing and feeding problems and a thing called PRS (cleft of the soft palate and a small chin). When I got him home I noticed his back felt Œfunny¹ but thought nothing of it (as he had spent so long in hospital I was sure they would have said something!). I was wrong and the back surgeon at Norfolk and Norwich hospital put him in a brace straight away! A really dark time in our life. I wish so much I had found this website then, the girls seem so know so much and I felt so very very alone. could not be put in a plaster cast until he could be put to sleep and this could only be done after his cleft surgery which took place at 11 months. He was in a brace which could be taken off but I still hated it. He has been in a plaster cast since June and is on his second one. Reading all the messages on this site is so uplifting. I really, really thought I was the only one who had a little baby in a plaster jacket! I think the norm is to have the cast on for 3 months at a time. ¹s first plaster cast sort of fell off after that time so he needed a new one. I too don¹t know what the future holds. may have surgery sometime in the future. I hate not being able to give him a bath and how heavy he is to hold, but if it is doing some good, and he can cope, then so can I!! x x On 26/10/06 08:59, " lowsonjade " <lowsonjade@...> wrote: > > > > > Hi everyone, i'm new here so thought I'd share my story.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi , i think the worse part of having the cast is the fact that you cant bath them but Amy is coping really well with not being able to have one, her sisters and brother go in when she's asleep so that they dont upset her. If all goes well then after the 2years of casting Amy will have a brace which i've been told by the docs that its a good thing in a way as it means the curve has straightened but Amy will probably hate me for putting it on her so i really feel for you having had to put it on . Now that is in a cast, how's he coping? There aren't many members that come from England(i'm in Sunderland)on this site and i found that the casting methods are quite different (from what i've read and pictures that i've seen),Amy's cast has a hole in the belly to allow her to expand a little when eating, is this the same for , also does his go over the arms like Amy's? Anyway, as you said if they can cope, so can we!!! jade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
