CAPD and Neuropsych, in case this helps someone
Beans27 replied to Tiramisu's topic in Special Needs Board
I agree. I have 3 kids with varying degrees if CAPD. It seriously affects their lives. People don't undertand that either. -
I searched for a thread on teen gifts, but couldn't find one. Can you give me the link? Thanks!

Need inexpensive gift ideas for teenage boys.

Metastasized breast cancer discussion *very frank*
Beans27 replied to I.Dup.'s topic in The Chat Board
My mom had metastasized breast cancer at 33, radical mastectomy, chemo. She was fine for 22years then she got cancer in the other breast. Mastectomy and chemo. A year later they found she had ovarian cancer. Surgery and chemo, chemo, and more chemo. Finally it came down to quality of life for her. She died 2yrs after diagnosis, at home with hospice. They were wonderful. There was only so much help I could give with a 2yr old and a newborn. I think everyone's cancer story is different. -
AG is addicting. Just...walk..away..from..the...catalog. LoL But seriously, if you are near a store, you can buy just one twin. Aliitle cheaper.

I understand. I am sick and tired of worrying. Christmas is a month away and it is all I can think about. I feel paralyzed. I hate this feeling. I am on SSD, which amounts to barely anything. DH had an accident in July and is out of work. Hoping to go back soon. I applied for a moratorium for my mortgage in July, sent the additional info they needed, and am still waiting for a response. We could be in foreclosure for all I know. Opening mail is too stressful, bad I know. My dad is paying the tuition for our boys. TG we have him, but it's not fair to him to use his money for that. If DH was working and able to drive, we'd be ok. I know this will end and is only temporary, but I feel like I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel right now. I try to keep thinking how blessed we are and how others are suffering. But it is hard to stay positive when the holidays come around.

Sassy 10 year old girls
Beans27 replied to NotSoObvious's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I see you have twin girls. Are they both doing this? I have a 10 yr old DD also. She isn't snippy to others, but will try to act funny on the phone with certain adults. As though she's me. I correct her and tell her she doesn't talk like that to adults. I can also be snippy at home, can't we all? LoL. But I am not sure that is completely the cause of a child being snippy. Maybe something else is bothering her? -
Any New Yorkers reporting for the first time this year?
Beans27 replied to MissKNG's topic in Parents' Forum Networking Board
I'm in NY and this is my first year homeschooling my 10 yr old. I sent my IHIP and received a letter saying it was satisfactory. :) -
Does anyone use this site? My dd used these little books a lot in ps. This is our first yr hs-ing. I'd love to let her continue with these books, plus it helps to track her progress since I know what level she left ps at. Problem is it is expensive to join. Any ideas or advice?

Came back to add....he is already on fish oil pills recommended by his neuro. One problem I have with adhd meds is it makes him so robotic. He has no emotion and it seems all creativity is gone. He's an awesome artist and that is stiffled when he's on meds. It's interesting.
-
Sounds like my dd who is dyslexic. Definitely go for an evaluation.
-
Thanks so much for all your replies! DS is definitley not adhd. Possibly add but then again he's a boy. ;). I spoke to one psychiatrist who sounded great, but doesn't take insurance. So Monday I will call those who take our insurance and hopefully find one who has an opening. He was bullied in ps starting in 4th grade. 6th was the worst year, but he knew he was getting out for jr high. Now that I am homeschooling dd and see how easly it is, I wish I had just pulled ds and homeschooled him. The bullying changed him and if he definitely has dysthymia, that is the cause. He is now off Strattera for 3 full days and is back to himself. The meanness is gone.
-
Well neuro finally called back. She said stop strattera, which we already did. She said ds is obviously not adhd because of how he reacts to the meds. She thinks it's anxiety based. My oldest ds has that too. So, now to make appt with psychiatrist because the anxiety and dysthymia is more than she wants to handle. He seems better off the strattera, but his anxiety is back.
