persephone Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I want to see Dr Grubb. I've had POTS for 12 years too, Linda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 One of my neighbor's kids has POTS, and was diagnosed this past summer and went to the camp that DYNA runs each year. She's only 10 and it was very hard for her to see all the kids in wheel chairs, but at the same time, it made her feel lucky.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzygirl Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Oh my bless that little girl...it just adds fuel to the burning fire growing inside of me that I so WANT to go to nursing school...wheni first considered nursing school..

Mi.mom Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hello Everyone!Having attended the DYNA Summer Chill for the past 2 years and having the youngest child there (8 years old) at both events I can honestly say we have never been depressed actually each year we have been inspired. As far as the child from PA. we do not have a 10 year old registered from PA. that I am aware of.Last year we only had 2 kids in wheelchairs and 1 of them was in a wheelchair do to surgery not Dysautonomia.If you would like to find out more about Dyna please visit our website at www.dynakids.org or email the Dyna office at www.info@dynakids.org. We would be happy to share with you our Summer Chill stories or just basic information.Thank YOu very much for giving me the chance to clarify. Hope all of you have a safe and healthy Holiday.

briarrose Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thx allMi momI love DYNA, you guys have some great information posted there and I've given out your web link many times over the past few years, keep up the great work over there. I can easily see how the conference would be inspiring and a relief for the kids inflicted with the illness, it gives them the chance to see so many others like them. So are you saying that the stories posted and everything in them are false?Isn't Debra Dominelli your president? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi,The yougest diagnosed with POTS and NCS in my family is 5 years old. I feel so sorry for him because he is very symptomatic at such a young age.I don't remember feeling healthy at all. I don't even know what it is not to have pain.I did not realise that dysautonomia was only recognized in 1996. I am glad to at least know what I have.Thanks Step for the links.

Hi Briarrose,My response was to MightyMouse when she said a neighbor had a child that went to the Summer Chill. I noticed she is from PA. but we do not have any 10 year olds from PA, and it was said that the little girl that is MightyMouse's neighbor was upset at all the wheelchairs. As I stated earlier there were only 2 wheelchairs, and only one being used for a Dysautonomia child.I am so so sorry if I ruffled any feathers, I just wanted to make sure we are all on the same page with stories.Yes, Debra D. is the founder and president. Do you know her, she is quite remarkable don't you think?Again, have a great evening, and a safe Holiday. Mi.Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 some of the confusion may be that - i think? - nina (mightymouse) actually lives in NJ, just outside of PA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Actually, I live very near Philly, but am in a NJ suburb, as Melissa stated. And, I may be off by a year or so on the age, as I know her via a team sport that has a 3 year age range--and I am accurate in saying she and her mom were a bit shaken afterward. She'd only had the dx for a short period of time and I think they were very early in the acceptance proceess, and probably just weren't ready to see the full spectrum of dysautonomia. Even one wheelchair was something they weren't ready for.Mi.Mom, while I appreciate your point, I wasn't saying that DYNA's camp was bad in anyway. I think that it's a great thing--I also think that this particular family didn't realize how sick some kids can get. I seemed, however, that you were trying to insinuate that I'm not telling the truth. I can see that you are very new here, so you haven't had a chance to get to know me, nor I you. However, a simple private, personal message could have cleared this up quickly--and in the future, I would ask that you extend that courtesy to me as I would to you.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mi.mom Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 MightyMouse,Oh my gosh, I am so sorry if you felt that I was insinuating that. By no means would I ever say that about anyone. I am very up front, and wish not to hurt anyones feelings.If someone were to post a recipe and say you need 3 cups flour, 1cup sugar, 2 sticks margerine, and on, and on, and the last ingredient 1/4 cup salt. Well that would seem like alot of salt and I would simply post back and ask if the salt was correct. I did not think or realize if you are asking a question or replying to a response that you need to do it personally. I simply was responding to a post, and if I upset the cart I apologize. Sincerely, Mi.Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finrussak Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Steph/BriarroseThanks for taking the time....my 16 yr old now shows sign of it probably due to being so ill with MTBI for past 3 years....so Now I am dealing with my sx AND his...plus the usual teen "attitude" crap.PersephoneDr Grubb sees adults...he dx me last June...call and be put on a waiting list...travel may be hard but itll be worth it as he not only is willing to interact with your local Drs but he is more " approachable" than any other expert I have personally spoken with or contacted!!! I had thought this compassionn was due to his own challenges with recent and ongoing severe illness, but as I get to know him and others under his care its obvious that he is just that kind of person!!!!F.
