      Hi! I have 2 girls with Fragile X. I have found sensory integration OT to be a huge help, and one daugher (and I) take Prozac for anxiety. Things do get better as the children get older. Is your son in school? Julie

    • Close Eczema

      I have had Adult onset Eczema for ten years. It started after my first son was born. It controls my life at times. I had to see seven doctors before one could tell me the right diagnoses. I do use Cetaphil cream everyday several times a day. I have it on my hands and arms up to my elbows. I also have it on my legs below my knees. I have had it on the bottom of my feet three times to the point I could not walk. My main problem is on my hands and arms. I use vinyl gloves to do most everything
