The Importance of Recess

By Dr. Jeremy March 1, 2009 11:20pm 13 Comments

DrJeremy

I often ask my younger patients their favorite class at school. Some may say math, others science, and maybe one or two will say the occasional English, but the one class that stands above all else is recess. And while I admit it would be a breath of fresh air to hear that long division and spelling is their motivation in life, I …

Your Child's Cough

By Dr. Jeremy February 2, 2009 9:20am 4 Comments

DrJeremy

After the winter of illness I am witnessing on a daily basis, I thought it might be helpful to shed some light on probably the most common symptom out there these days...the dreaded cough. And so what I'd like to do is share some of the reasons why your child may cough, other symptoms to monitor for, and what can be done. But …

Probiotics: Does the Research Justify Their Use?

By Dr. Jeremy January 15, 2009 9:56am 17 Comments

DrJeremy

Next to discussions of vaccines and developmental milestones, a frequently referred to topic with my patients involves the use of probiotics. And as I find myself using them more and more with the patients I care for, I am also noticing many parents giving their children these live microorganisms on their own accord. This, in …

"Each moment is a miracle ...Each day a new beginning." I am repeating that to myself this am and constantly looking up at my window to read it since its taped there. Yesterday I learned a couple key things. I was seeking understanding & action. I got little of either. I keep getting told I have both. Actions show differently. I'm at a loss right now. I figured ok its the next d...

WTF?

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | A Venting story

22 months sober, couldn't be happier about my sobriety & I'm sincerely disappointed & PISSED. WTF is wrong with people that they need to spew lies? What happened to good ole fashioned honesty? I mean lets be serious getting sober requires us to truly look at our lives, the lies we told (this includes omission & "white lies") others & especially the lies we told o...

22 months SOBER!

Thursday, June 25, 2009 | A Happy story

I'm STOKED to be 22 months sober today! I've been struggling a bit and have been working on the why's & I'm learning a lot about myself still. Heading into Step 8 & hopeful although not short of mixed emotions. 670 days! Sounds like a lot when its put that way. I've gotten to where I celebrate mainly the monthly goals in the sense that I share it with others more vocal...

looking at things from a different angle

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 | An Inspiring story

Today I took my daughter ( With ADD) to her swim team practice . The children all got in the water to start practice and then their head coach called them out of the pool to "talk about breast stroke". This is a complete change in routine. The children usually swim a warm up before anything else. All of the children got out of the water except for my daughter. She started to s...

To thy own self be true ... sigh

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 | A Painful story

Oh hell. That is the FIRST thought that has sprung to mind in dealing with Step 8. For the last couple steps I have honestly done them just about alone. Mainly because I've felt like a burden & I have needed the time and chance to see myself for who I really am. I feel like I'm my responsibility & although I know I'm not alone as far as having children & family/friends I f...

Friday, June 12, 2009 | A Frustrating story

I honestly don't believe I could disappoint myself anymore than if I took the drink I'm sincerely thinking about taking. It would start off as sips then it would be one followed by many because I simply wouldn't want to stop. 657 days & here I sit thinking about drinking. I'd like to be able to answer the "why" questions. There are many around me who still drink. I l...

Monday, June 8, 2009 | A General Update story

To me there isn't much worse than someone backing me into a corner. Whether its slowly or quickly. Some figure pushing me will eventually get my to break. Funny enough when I do its not them getting their way. I used to though. I used to give in & do what ever it was others wanted me to because I was worried about hurting their feelings and the relationship we had. I started realizing tha...

Hi, It's been a while since I have written. Alyssa has had to have tests done. My mother broke her fenur bone so she has been in the hospital. It's very hard taking care of 2 seperate homes. I do have 3 other brothers and a sister but know one seems like they want to help. Alyssa is doing well so far on her injections. All her lab work came back good. Her harmones are right where the endo...

Wednesday, June 3, 2009 | A Positive story

Its been about 5 days since I've journaled privately, here or anywhere actually. I've had much building within & for many reasons just have not gotten things "out." Although with the passing time things have certainly improved in my sobriety I still have times when I struggle with those around me. I know that I can only control myself, my actions, my thought processes, my de...

Step 6 completion & such

Thursday, May 21, 2009

Just a few days shy of my 21 month soberversary I've completed Step 6 as much as I can at this point. I've been working it primarily alone. Maybe its been best that way although closing out the workbook questions has been harder for me than I anticipated. Its had exercises in it that have afforded me the opportunity to practice "letting go." The 1st initial exercise was taking l...

Inward Struggles

Saturday, May 16, 2009

For a few days now I've been facing inward struggles with regard to drinking. I've gotten several invites to a variety of events and the are red flags surrounding them all. What's interesting is I'm aware of them and a few folks for what ever their reasons have mentioned "I want to warn you drinking will be involved." Right. I get that. Its unavoidable. I'm not total...

Precocious Puberty Information

Early pubic hair, breast, or genital development may result from normal but early maturation or from several abnormal conditions. Early puberty which is normal in every way except age is termed idiopathic central precocious puberty. It may be partial or transient. Central puberty can also occur prematurely if the inhibitory system of the brain is damaged, or a hypothalamic hamartoma produces pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Secondary sexual development induced by sex steroids from other abnormal sources (gonadal or adrenal tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, etc.) is referred to as peripheral precocious puberty or precocious pseudopuberty.
