Just diagnosed, no advice from doc other than to take amitriptyline 10mg at night for pain and to help with sleep. Has anyone any other advice they would like to share? All responses appreciated.

Insurance companies often treat autism as if it was a psychological condition to avoid paying insurance claims. My daughter needed general anesthesia to have a cavity treated by the dentist. The insurance company denied the claim stating: "General Anesthesia is not a treatment for autism". We appealed the claim and lost... :-(

He sweats a lot especially at night for a couple of months on and off. He started vomiting regularly this week and has occassionally for 2 weeks. He feels drained sometimes, doesn't eat like he used to. He will be normal and active with his friends in between. I'M WORRIED! He is definitely not on drugs. Can anyone give me an answer as to what it might be? I have taken him to a Dr. and he ran a urine test and the blood has been drawn for other test.

I have Hyperthyroid problems and about 2 months ago started having eye problems. Swollen, watery, etc, leading to double vision. I now have a prism in one spectacle lens. I'm in good care at Moorfields and the Whittington hospital. The condition seems stable now. Anyone with similar experience like to share what happened to them. how they coped and, hopefully, how things improved and when?

A few years back, I was detected with hypertension. The doctor prescribed a light dose of Stamlodipine with Atenolol. After continuing for sometime, I had reduced it to only Atenolol. A couple of years back, another doctor changed it to Bisoprolol. Please tell me, what should I select as a change this time ? Please consider the cost part also.

I was 12 or 13. The disease is called Osgood Schlatter Disease. Knee-pain very common in athletically active adolescents. Anyway, the doctors always say you'll grow out of it. I am 22 now, I haven't grown anywhere but out since I was 17 and I've about stopped growing at all. I just recently visited a doctor for the problem and he still said, " You'll grow out of it." How? That's all I want to know, when you stop growing, how will you grow out of it? And do you think the doctors, if you know anything about Osgood Schlatter Disease, should actually look at my knee and see if there is more to it than Osgood Schlatter Disease? Also, what about cases of people not growing out of it?
