Susan in TN Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have a lot more laundry to take care of. Particularly sleeping bags - easy but bulky and time consuming. Otherwise I think I'll deal with the snack box and beverage box and then pillows. Dd13 and I watched Kon-Tiki - the true story of a Norwegian explorer who was certain that the polynesians had come from South America and sailed from Peru across the Pacific on a raft to prove it. It's available on Netflix now. I went to the Kon-Tiki museum in Oslo just after the film came out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) 18 hours ago, Paradox5 said: How did you do this? ASD Boy has TWO curves in his spine! One between his shoulder blades and one lower down. I've been giving him supplements--calcium, vitamins D as K, and 5HTP. This based on the theory that the scoliosis was due to poor bone formation during a period of rapid growth so I ought to support healthy bone formation. Calcium of course is critical for that, and vitamins D and K assist. 5HTP is a precursor to serotonin, which it turns out is also critical in bone formation. I know from 23andMe that ds has double copies of a version of the TPH2 gene that doesn't work very well--TPH2 codes for a protein that helps convert tryptophan to 5HTP, which then gets converted to serotonin and later to melotonin. If he can't produce 5HTP he can't produce serotonin either, so supplementing the 5HTP seemed like a good idea; I strongly suspect that this disruption contributes to many of the challenges this kid faces--serotonin plays a role in so many things from anxiety to tic disorders to hearing acuity. I didn't know it was involved in bone formation until I started researching the scoliosis. I also encouraged him to use inversion to allow his spine to stretch out. I don't actually know of course if any of this made a difference or if the scoliosis would have improved in its own but it may be helping so I'm going to continue.

Susan in TN Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Good morning! I need to put away laundry today, and maybe re-organize camping gear. I might put all the car-camping gear in bins in the garage and just keep the backpacking stuff in the house. There are more sleeping bags to be laundered. Nothing else really planned for the day.

Junie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Headache is still hanging around, but is under control for the moment. While I second slept, we had several visitors (all outside, at least most with social distancing): a sweet lady from church who dropped off a graduation gift for dd17 one of dh's coworkers came to drop something off then he came again when he realized that he had forgotten something and a black snake decided to hang out on our front porch for a while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm being lazy. It's gloomy and raining and even though I slept okay last night, I'm still tired. I've been weighing every day to keep a rolling 7 day average of gains/losses. I've always thought weighing first thing in the morning would give the lowest weight. So I weigh after my initial bathroom trip. But the past few days I've also weighed after eating breakfast. And I've weighed less after breakfast. I don't understand how that could be. It's more than a few ounces - over a pound difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I planted some plants and cleaned off the back patio.

I drink the end of my water bottle so I've had the same amount of water each night. 2. I DON'T pee. Yes, peeing makes you weigh less, but you will pee a different amount based on when you drank your water. Pee before bed, not when you weigh. 3. Immediately after I wake up for posture consistency.
