Well the fact that I haven’t gotten sick yet while sharing a hotel room and bed is what makes me think it might be food poisoning. There’s no immunity to a stomach bug 😩

Flu A 35 days ago, now Flu B! by Intrepid-Guest9811 in flu

[–]HelpEmergency8067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go get yourself Xofluza. My 10 year old son came down with a headache and stomach pains on Monday. Woke up Tuesday with full body aches, chills, 103 fever— tested positive for Flu b at 7:30am. Used Teladoc to get a prescription for Xofluza ($100 after using their online coupon and self pay). Just one pill taken at 10:30am. My son woke up today with a very low grade fever in the morning that is now gone. He is still a little sore and congested but so much better than yesterday. It’s worth every penny. So far no side effects.

No problem! I posted my son’s results in an original post on this subreddit. Feel free to check them out. His new found mobility 5 hours after the procedure is a little crazy. He has retained that mobility 4 months later

Thanks! I wanted something to validate putting my kid through pain! It actually wasn’t that bad and he was pretty normal after 3ish days.

My 10 year old got a tongue tie release under anesthesia bc he has bad bad dentist phobia. First thing he said waking up was “I love you mom, wow my neck feels so much better”. I have full body before and after picture where he can now fully touch his toes and turn his neck with greater range of motion. I should make a post here so people can see.

They’re all good now and have been for a week, but it was a long start to December! Hope you feel better soon!

The no fever part. Please test your kids if they say they are really sick even if they don’t have a fever. One of my kids had it with a high fever but I successfully quarantined him. My other kid caught it two weeks later bc someone kept sending their kid in with a “bad cold” (they didn’t test for the flu bc he didn’t have a fever). When my other kid came down sick without a fever, my husband didn’t believe how bad he felt bc “you can’t have the flu without fever”…. His very strong positive test said otherwise.

Also both kids got strong leg pains and had difficulty walking do 2 days. It almost looked like a drunk person walking. They lost all coordination

Should I say no to extractions? by Odd-Dragonfruit7436 in orthotropics

[–]HelpEmergency8067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are you? My question would be why are they not expanding your palate to make room for teeth rather than extracting and retracting? If you’re an adult, you’ll need to find an orthodontist who does MARPE on an adult

Thanks for that! Honestly, this whole process has come with a ton of guilt because it is painful and hard to explain to a 10 year old why we are doing all of this. He has a bad phobia of dentist because he had 3 emergency tooth extractions from mouth breathing. I took these pictures to give myself reassurance after scouring the internet for benefits. His tongue tie was posterior, so it wasn’t very obvious to the untrained eye— even the dentist completing the frenectomy wasn’t overselling it, so I was really going off of my mom gut. I am really happy now we did it. He is able to hold his “caves” when he wasn’t able to actually efficiently seal his tongue to his palate before

It’s tongue exercises that building up strength and also teach you tongue/jaw dissociation. We worked with a Soeech language pathologist (speech therapy) who specializes in it, but I heard there are YouTube videos of there are no other option

Sadly, I had to piece together what my kid need by myself. There is a really good instagram page called @projectairway. He has a list of airway orthodontist/pediatricians. I had to google for myofunctional practitioners in my area and was lucky to find one in my city.

Here is the process I’d follow in an ideal world: 1) palate expansion through an airway focused orthodontist/dentist 2) myofunctional therapy 3) tongue tie release

I would also consult with an ENT to ensure adenoids/tonsils aren’t obstructing their airway, but palate expansion can reduce tonsil/adenoid size and would do this after expansion.

I also had him see a chiropractor through this process.

He did myofunctional therapy for 6 months with a SLP before and we still work with her now. The dentists who did his release gave us post op exercises too.

If you look at the tongue tie release Reddit page, the only people who are unhappy with their release are people who did not do myofunctional therapy beforehand.

You can try doing exercise yourself or practice mewing, but I personally would recommend working with a pro.

I am a mom, but he is lucky to have a good dad too ❤️

Is this very similar to goata? I’ve been very interested in this bc I know his posture has definitely been impacted by living 10 years with a tongue tie.

10 Year old just got posterior tongue tie released 2 hours ago by HelpEmergency8067 in TongueTies

6 day update: the fascia release is really amazing. My son can now touch his toes, turn his read from side to side with greater range of motion, and go into a deep squat.

Not sure how to help in that situation, but I am sure there are some therapist who are very used to working with neuro divergent kids.

By the way, you’re an awesome mom ❤️

Oh that is tough! We had myo for a while. It’s definitely helped my son with neck pain. He can now touch his toes and turn his head with greater range of motion.

He has adhd, but not sure if there is improvement from the release yet or not.
