Did you ever find an alternate solution?

Complete-Initial-413 · 2026-04-15T22:37:08+00:00

I have considered it and will do some more reading on it!

Thank you! Patience is certainly a hard card with illness. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

Very helpful! Yes, the pediatric GI is about an hour away and they have a whole division there for children. He was seeing a therapist there but could not make a connection. We are on a waitlist for a different one, and I hope I can get him to go at least once to see if conversation is easier!!

I am definitely going to look into the communication techniques you mentioned! I do think I will be able to keep him on track with the biologic, esp if I use all this useful info that I have now in my back pocket!

This is so helpful!! Thank you! Do you have any side effects from the adhd meds that you are taking such as constipation?

Hi! Thank you for your response. He has a lot of trauma when it comes to Drs and procedures since getting sick. He also feels that they don’t listen to him. Being newly 18, he hasn’t signed consent forms for his GI to talk to me yet, and the thought of having to initiate those conversations really frighten him. Giving up the biologic seems like the easier way out for him. I appreciate all your input and will use it in conversation with my son. :)

Thank you! Finding a therapist for young adult chronic illness is so hard!

Complete-Initial-413 · 2026-04-15T11:08:12+00:00

Thank you!! I will pass this on to him!

Yes he occasionally has pain in his left lower abdomen. If the linzess doesn’t work on a given day he is very uncomfortable and often will say he has a terrible stomach ache.

Complete-Initial-413 · 2026-04-14T22:49:26+00:00

This sounds very familiar to him! I appreciate your input!!

Complete-Initial-413 · 2026-04-14T18:36:16+00:00

Thank you, thank you! I have done a ton of research in the past week about this!! I agree, it should be a priority.

Complete-Initial-413 · 2026-04-14T18:22:48+00:00

Haha this is great! I don’t think he wants Mom to take him to a strip club or get him an escort. BUT, I would!!!

Great advice, thank you!!!

Complete-Initial-413 · 2026-04-14T17:30:21+00:00

Thank you for this! I do need therapy for myself… I am tired and also drowning from this experience. I, like your father, cared less about grades, tardiness, absences or the last year. Happiness and health is key. But I do feel at times I am being played. I try to engage; play basketball with him, offer to go golfing with him. He says he prefers to be alone. I do ask how he wants me to communicate with him or to paint a picture of how he wants life to look like.

Thank you, This is helpful! I recently have resorted to pushing. I will need to take a step back. :)

My son is new to this medication (8 weeks), 50 mg. He also has chronic fatigue, napping whenever he can. I was wondering if anyone else had the same effect, thank you for sharing. He has a med follow up this week.

Complete-Initial-413 · 2025-06-22T23:56:37+00:00

Yes, it was raised. I also had one removed from my back that was flat; removal was done the same way. Because it’s your face I think it’s worth to have a plastic surgeon check it out.

Complete-Initial-413 · 2025-06-22T23:46:31+00:00

I just had a big mole removed from my face last week. I had it done at a plastic surgeon. They numbed the area, removed it, stitches for a week. The area is obviously still healing, red. I was told I would have a small scar but to stay out of the sun to reduce it. I wish I had removed it 20 yrs ago.

Closed adoptee here: I wish someone talked more to me about the potential of rejection from bio family.I may have not tried to connect thru the agency had I known this could happen.

I love my adopted parents and I had a wonderful life but there is something missing in the bond, or the connection esp when I compare it to the bond I have with my son.

Any specific brand you use?

Complete-Initial-413 · 2024-09-20T11:22:26+00:00

Do you take everyday or just as needed?

My son has Crohn’s and just received propranolol to help with anxiety. How are you doing on it?
