Autism – Family Dynamics

As we meet more and more families through schools, respite resources, carers groups and people generally pointed in our direction for advice and sympathy, I come to realise that we are by no means on our own in having a family with more than one disabled child.

I have three children, Rosie (who is 11 and has Asperger Syndrome), Daisy (9, rare genetic syndrome called Kabuki) and Leonard (who we have never called Leonard, only ever Lenny – he is seven is classically autistic and as yet has only a handful of words at his disposal). I sincerely apologise for defining my children by their disabilities; in more normal circumstances I never would (This is Lenny : he’s terribly handsome, lots of fun, and a big handful!’) (Daisy; unbearably sweet, main interests include splashing, spinning and bananas) (have you met Rose? She’s very funky (obviously) she loves her pet rat, Albert Einstein, and has an ambition to become a stand up comedienne). Read more…

Eliminate Ovarian Cysts Naturally – Proven Way to Cure Your Ovarian Cysts

Most women aren’t told when they go the doctor that their is a way to eliminate ovarian cysts naturally. These treatments have been known to be very effective and work better than medications prescribed by your doctor. Traditional medicine will just cover up whatever symptoms you have.

Surgery can not prevent any future cysts from developing either. It is much better to eliminate ovarian cysts naturally. This is because, the natural treatment for eliminating cysts focuses on what is causing you to have the cysts in the first place.

Most doctors will not tell you that be increasing your water, fiber, and vitamin intake they are not as likely to develop cysts in the future. Cysts can grow and become very painful when there is too much pressure on the reproductive organs, that is why you should not depend on surgery for long term relief.

Home Remedy For Excessive Sweating – A Home Remedy Saves Time and Money

Here’s how a home remedy for excessive sweating will save you a lot of time, aggravation, and money in your search for a cure for Hyperhidrosis. People that suffer from the embarrassing effects of excessive sweating are often caught in the middle of an information and treatment gap. A lot of them can’t even get a definitive diagnosis.

In the medical field excessive sweating is viewed as a symptom not a condition.

So what does that mean for you? It means your doctor is going to spend his time and effort looking for an underlying illness of which your perspiring is only a “symptom”. A home remedy will save you the cost of several tests and the time spent at clinics being looked over and prodded. Not to mention the waits in overcrowded waiting rooms and delays of test results that will come back negative anyway.

Medical procedures to cure Hyperhidrosis are costly and uncertain.

Asperger Syndrome : Contrary Mary

Meet Rosie, my lovely 11 year old. Anyone who has done so in recent years would have been presented with a charming, well-mannered and engaging child.

However, it has been a long, hard struggle for Rosie to reach this stage, a struggle confounded by the fact that until she was eight years of age, even we, her parents, had neither recognised or accounted for the fact that she was autistic. Read more…

Talking to Your Children About Your Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

When I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, my children were 14, 11, and 8. Along with the difficulties of dealing with being diagnosed with a disease like MS, came the difficulties of deciding how to tell the kids. I am not sure which is harder getting the diagnosis or answering the questions your kids will ask. For some people, Multiple Sclerosis is diagnosed very quickly due to a rapid onset. For most people getting the diagnosis comes after months or even years of symptoms and testing. Kids are smarter then we give them credit for. They know when Mom or Dad are sick, hurting, upset, and even scared. I think there is controversy about what you should share with your kids. Some might feel that there kids would not understand, or that they might get too upset, or even treat their Mom or Dad differently if they knew the truth.

I was initially diagnosed in August of 2006 but actually confirmed diagnosis in March of 2007. There was a long period of time before getting the final diagnosis. I was bedridden and my cognitive skills were rapidly declining. I too felt that my kids were too young to understand. One day my middle child ( my son) came into my room and laid next to me and as he laid there he kept looking at me. I knew he had something he wanted to ask or tell me but did not know how to say it. Then the words came out. “Mom are you going to die”? I started to tear up. Here I thought I was protecting them and instead my children were fearing the worst. I decided right then and there that it was time for me to do some talking and explaining to them about what was going on with me along with what Multiple Sclerosis is and what it does. The biggest problem I found is that I did not know how to explain something that I did not even understand. Along with that I knew I was dealing with three children at three different ages. I took the time to talk to each one individually at each age level. Read more…

Is Mesothelioma Still A Concern In These Modern Times?

The scourge of Mesothelioma is one that we’ve never found an answer to. Associated with asbestos exposure, the question these days is whether it is still a risk given the large amount of litigation and partial asbestos ban that have been in place since the late 1980s? The answer might surprise you.

Mesothelioma is one of the odder cancers you will find. It gets its name from the organic geography where it can be found. The internal organs in your chest area must move to function. This can cause friction, heat and trauma. To keep it from happening, the body has a material known as mesothelium. It is a two layer sheet that surrounds the organs and lines the chest and abdomen. The layers have a lubricant between them, which creates a moveable surface so the heart can beat, the lungs fill, and so on without any problems. Mesothelioma is the cancer of this lining. Read more…
