in my part of the world, we encourage taking goat milk pills. Nasty, IMHO haha. Leaves a strange after taste.
Ness:
yeah, fish oil is pretty disgusting... the capsules themselves have no taste, but they do tend to repeat on you, and believe me it is hard to think of much that is worse than burping fish all day!
I'm actually a little surprised that in the time I've been sleeping, nobody has come out yelling that there is no such thing as chronic fatigue syndrome... it appears to be one of the least understood conditions, simply because it's not a condition itself but a blanket diagnostic name given to a whole bunch of symptoms that arise from metabolic disorders...

laeshanin:
Hooo, that one is a really sticky mess. I know several people with this diagnosis, one of whom is very ill indeed as she already has an existing heart condition. Does exist, but as you say, it's a blanket term.
Hairfish:
Thank you all for talking about Asperger's Syndrome. My son, now 25, was given a diagnosis of ADHD at age 4, then "non-specific schizophreniform disorder" at age 13. This was all before AS had been recognized. He meets all the criteria for AS; his current obsession is with airplanes, and he spends his days playing with a flight simulator. Since you can't force a legal adult into evaluation and treatment without a court order, he will probably remain obsessed with one thing or another (and thus unemployable) forever. He goes to job interviews and talks about...airplanes. ::)
I'm a rapid-cycling bipolar for whom all types of medication have proved useless. Fun, no? Sleep may be for wusses, but I'd love to have one good night of it nonetheless.

I work with children with severe Autism, and have found joy in it. Even when we have our "moments" I still love each and every one of them. I also have some students with AS, and I enjoy them as well. I find that even in their quirkiness, there is so much that we can learn from them. I have found some of my students who have autism and AS to be my brightest kids. Difficult, always, but very bright and always a refreshing challenge. I wholeheartedly admire parents who love and cherish their kids who have these types of needs on a daily basis, and I marvel at the patience they exhibit. :)
