17 Oct 01 - 11:19 PM (#574622) Subject: RE: BS: Tooting my own horn... From: Mark Cohen Discover has a column called "Vital Signs", which features "medical detective stories". In a (macadamia) nutshell, mine is about a 3-year-old with delayed development who appeared autistic. One day she came into my office with every indication that she'd had a stroke, which in fact she had. It was caused by a rare metabolic condition, homocystinuria, in which a very high level of an amino acid called homocysteine makes the blood clot more easily than normal. The high homocysteine levels also damaged her brain and caused her developmental problems. A new medication has lowered the blood homocysteine levels, and, while she is still delayed because of the damage already done to her developing brain, the autistic symptoms have improved. I've wanted to be a writer ever since high school, so this is really exciting for me! Aloha, Mark |

18 Oct 01 - 11:54 PM (#575295) Subject: RE: BS: Tooting my own horn... From: Stilly River Sage Mark, Congratulations! I still have copies of my first published articles back in the early 80's--it's a big thrill. I also keep a file of rejection slips, and have enough to paper a smallish room. Get yourself some extra copies of the magazine and use the tear sheets to send off with query letters in the future. Success breeds success, in writing as anywhere else. M. |

02 Nov 01 - 12:36 PM (#584752) Subject: RE: BS: Tooting my own horn... From: Mark Cohen Sorry, Sins, I missed your post earlier. There actually is a new drug for inflammatory bowel disease that I heard about recently on a continuing-education audiotape. Of course, I can't remember the name of it now, or whether it's better for Crohn's or ulcerative colitis. I will check it out and get back to you. Crohn's and CF...that's a tough load to bear. Aloha, Mark |

02 Nov 01 - 12:59 PM (#584782) Subject: RE: BS: Tooting my own horn... From: SINSULL Thanks, Mark. The family had two more children before she was diagnosed. The third child, a boy, is CF positive too. Mom and Dad spend lots of time in the emergency ward and pediatrics unit. Both are great people and just take it in stride. Healthy children are a reason to celebrate. |
