  1. I'm looking for some recommendations for resources on creating a website for my family's small business. We already have a domain name. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you, Alice
  2. Please add me. I have two adult children.
  3. I have been researching a lot. Thank you for your opinions on my dd's heart issues. I know this is serious, and we are at a critical time. I plan to get her records from the cardiologist asap. For those of you who gave personal stories, it is comforting to know others have been where I am and are willing to share their stories. The links are so helpful, too. I'm checking out all of the programs and have found that some are in network for my insurance. My dd is going to be evaluated for orthostatic hypotension as she told us she is feeling dizzy at standing from lying down and sometimes even from sitting. Someone asked about my dd's age - she is 16 years old, so she would need an adolescent program.
  4. Thank you all for the encouraging words and hugs and words of advice. My DH and I are willing to do whatever it takes to get her better. It slipped up on us so slowly with first what first seemed to be healthy changes like eating well and exercising and then changed to very obvious food restricting, weight loss, and excessive exercise. She received many compliments which encouraged her to lose even more. She is almost 5'8" and reached her lowest point of 111 this past weekend. She has been seeing a therapist and dietician for about two months. She has also seen her pediatrician. She also recently saw a cardiologist after breathlessness and feelings her heart wasn't beating right. She wore a monitor and had PVCs, PACs and bigemines although not excessively I was told. I informed the cardiologist about her anorexia, and he said that it was unrelated to her arrhythmias and was normal for her. Now, after researching all of this more, I think the heart beat irregularities could be related to anorexia. I have hidden the scales for which she is very upset. She even started screaming at me this morning that it is her body and she can do as she wishes. This is so not like her. I know it's because she is starving. Her OCD was post- puberty.
  5. Does anyone have experience with an anorexia diagnosis of teenager? My dd had OCD which she overcame through therapy. Then, she got into healthy eating and exercise and this has changed into anorexia. She's lost 50 pounds total in 3 years with the last 12-15 in 6 months and is below the lowest recommended BMI for her height. I think the anorexia started around 2 years ago, but has gotten worse. We are seeing a counselor and dietician. She doesn't seem to be improving, and now we are talking about inpatient care at a treatment facility. We are sad and scared. What should we do? Can you recommend a treatment facility? What experience have you had? Did your insurance pay? I called a facility today, and it is $1400 per day with an out of network copay. Our out of network deductible is $22,000. You can post or PM me. I may delete this later, so please don't copy my post. Thank you.
  6. I need to get my 16 year old dd's passport renewed. My question is will her new passport which is considered an adult passport have the same number as her old child's passport. Thanks!
  7. We had non-refundable tickets for US Air flights this year. My husband had emergency surgery, and I canceled 2 days before our flight. I was told there would be a $200 change fee per ticket to reschedule. Here is a portion of the link you provided: Depending on fare rules, a change fee applies to all non-refundable tickets. Any flights canceled on or before the scheduled date of travel will retain ticket value and can be credited against the price of another ticket.
  8. Posanos is a highly rated restaurant which I believe is gluten free. We enjoyed eating at Rezazz which is Mediterranean food. Papa Beers Cali-Mexican restaurant was good. Enjoyed the shrimp fajitas. Salsa bar was nice. Stable Cafe at Biltmore is nice for lunch. Chocolate Fetish - yummy. We enjoyed our tour of Biltmore House. Check out trip advisor for reviews of all restaurants and activities.
  9. My DH did not ask my father. Our daugher's fiancé asked my DH before he asked our DD.
  10. Elizabeth, Thank you for the information! I've checked out the NCSU clinic, and it looks great. Now, I need to research how much, if any, my insurance will pay. Alice
  11. Oops, double post! Guess a triple post would have been more appropriate! :)
  12. I have used mymedlab a few times and been pleased. When I used it I printed out the orders inline myself then went to my nearest Labcorp for the blood draw. The results were available inline within a couple of days. I did saliva testing, also. A kit was mailed to me and, after collecting the saliva as directed, I mailed it back in. Here is a link: https://www.mymedlab.com
  13. I think my daughter needs a NP evaluation. She is 11 years old and has dyslexia and some attention issues. She is being tutored, but is still so far behind. I want to make sure I'm covering all my bases. Can you recommend someone (doctor/psychologist) in NC who can do the NP testing? Thank you!!
