Health - 31 August 2006

I have finally taken my 8 year old daughter to a counseling center to begin treatment for Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). She always been a tempramental child, stubborn, crying kicking yelling because she doesn't get what she wants. It has escalated in the last year or so to telling me no!, hitting, kicking and breaking stuff. So, I concluded 8 years old is much too old for this behaviour, and if I wait much longer, I won't be able to get her under control.

She was officially diagnosed this week. We have barely started treatment, so I don't have a lot of advice to go on from her counselor. Tonight we just had a terrible time, because she wanted some extra markers (that I am saving for when she needs them at school), and I would not let her have them. Kicking screaming, refusing to go to her room, being physically carried four times to her room...and nasty sassy mouth.

Any experience with this type of behaviour? What has worked for you? How do you handle the tantrums?

How quick can dentists put braces on your teeth after extractions? I am having all 4 wisdom teeth out and 2 extra on top (the first molers on on each side) on thursday, me dentist said to come in on the monday and he will put the spacers in and the following thursday the braces! Doesn't that seem like too soon? only 4 days!

I'm not scared of dentists, I just never got around to registering with a new one after leaving my home town when I was a teenager. Now I don't know where to start! I've heard stories about dentists who, knowing that you haven't been for years, will tell you that you need hundreds of pounds of work doing and that worries me. I have two questions, really. One, how do I go about finding and registering with a dentist, how much does it cost, can I get it free on the NHS or is that only for people who are on benefits? Two, how do I know if I'm being ripped off? I mean it'd be rude to ask for a second opinion, right? If there are any dentists reading, how many fillings, extractions etc would you expect someone to need after fifteen years? My teeth don't hurt and I brush and use floss, but I do drink a lot of diet Coke and I hear that can cause problems. I know this is a daft set of questions, and probably too long for anyone to read, but any responses would be much, much appreciated.

It's not that I have a bad life. Its just a life that I feel like I can't handle. I have a three year old that still doesn't have a sleep schedule at night. We are up all night and its taking a toll on me. I just can't take the constant bickering that we're doing and then my husband is sleeping because he has to work. and when he's not working were fussing because I want him to help out at night but with him working he can't. I tried getting him to take weekends from me but he just can't stay awake. Don't get me wrong he does help out when he gets home after work, but I really need him to help out late at night. Am I being selfish or not. I just feel all alone like I have no one. I am also a diabetic and I know that the way I am sleeping and feeling it not helping. I could bring my lillte boy to my parents house but I would still have to deal with him. They are both in very poor health. Please any suggestions helping to deal with my life would be appreciated.

I have two broken wisdom teeth (roots/nerves are exposed), and I haven't had them pulled after 3 years. Am I at serious risk for anything? Just need to prioritize my health and dental concerns according to urgency. Thanks.

I do bodybuilding and there are so many answers to the protien debate. It seems the ones who tell you that you need higher amounts an advert follows for their protien powder!

It's worked wonders for me. The first month or so I actually broke out more which was brutal. But after that my skin is perfect, I get a zit maybe once every month or three, one every 3 months, about that. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I started to not get stressed out in life, like taking things in stride, and I'm not sure if that helped or not either.

Can you contact drug manufacturers personally to obtain these pens, or are there places where you can contact drug representatives to buy directly? I ask because I love many of the pens that I write with at medical offices, and would like some for personal use.... although I am not sure which avenues are possible, or even legal. I would rather not purchase from ebay, as you're never sure how the items were obtained. I'd hope to not line the pockets of someone who stole from a representative or office. Thanks for your responses!
