Madeleine is running track now. Her biggest problem.... She runs like a girl :huh: Knees nearly together, arms flailing. She looks like Sandra from that show 227...'member that?? :lol::lol: We're trying to teach her to run like a boy, or at least a normal girl but it's not working. She's getting faster, she just doesn't look any better :lol::lol:

Bonus though, her increase in speed landed her a full handstand from a sprint on the vault on Monday. Then I was the dork, I stood up and whooped from the stands. There's a 100 kids out there... Everyone looked at me like I was the fool :rolleyes:

OK, my life is officially material for a sitcom. I have to delay all of my procedures (shots for shoulder and back and removal of lymph node) because I have two blocked aortic arteries and now have to have cardiac catheterization next week possibly followed by immediate angioplasty. I'm actually finding it all rather amusing. I'm calm and trust my doctors. I''m more worried about Clark than me.

Does this all ban me from the psillie thread? Now THAT would break my heart!

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Sounds like you're going in for a complete overhaul, Loweeee!By the time yer done, you'll be good for another hundred thousand miles!

....and don't even THINK that you can get rid of us!

Hi Psilles,

Just a quick note before I head back to bed to let you know that things went well yesterday and the result showed that I have hypertension (treatable with meds). The worst thing about the procedure were 1) it took 4 tries to find a vein (and the IV specialist) and 2) I had to lie on my back for 6 hours (ouch). Now I can reschedule the other procedures. Thanks for all the love and positive energy. Can't wait to get back online regularly and also visit other threads in case all of my illnesses can help anyone else. The psillie thread is my home!!

Hugz,

Loey

Indeed, we will. :)

Ya gotta hurry back, here, Low.. . . .. ..there's another addictive thread-on-fire afoot here, and it's being frequented by many a Psilly... . . .. . requiring knowledge of songs and singers, I'm afraid, and I'm much sillier than I am proficient at recalling names. Therefore, I pop over there, struggle, and leave for a while. :lol:

Mulberry, the little silkie, is too small to get up on the shoe box with the big kids and she'll cry pitifully when they're all up there and she can't jump up so I put a tea box next to the shoe box so she can double hop to get up with everyone else. :) :) She also falls off the other side, but that's a whole different issue. :P

Was looking up a recipe on line and this is part of the instructions:

Let the soup cool for a few minutes, then transfer to the blender and carefully blend at high speed until smooth. Do I have to remind you to do this in stages, with the blender's lid firmly held down, and with the weight of your body keeping that thing from flying off and allowing boiling hot mushroom pur

:lol: :lol: Poor boy is exhausted. I left him home alone to sleep. He was already napping on the couch when I left, so I expect he'll be out cold soon. He tends to hog the bed, so I didn't get much sleep last night and I'm looking forward to being out cold shortly.

Wore him out did you?? Hard night, hard day....:lol:

On a more genteel note, the delights of a fall garden. Wandered out in the late sunlight, picked some apples for an apple cobbler, a couple of artichokes, and some hydrgangeas which have faded to a glorious dusky pink/blue/green combination for a bit of decoration. Cold blast of early winter approaching tonight. :( Nevermind. In a couple of weeks we should be getting our roof repairs and our soapstone fireplace repairs, and these damnable aftershocks can quit already!!! :angry:

Will you be ditching the shaking winter ground soon and heading for your summer home?

Heyy Psills - how 're we doing??

I have chickens in my pocket. :ph34r::P :P

Seriously need a picture of them!!

Lots of change is aphoot over 'ere.

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

This saddens & troubles me as he is only 16yrs old but simply CANNOT have him threatening me. - the stress was enormous living with his behaviour dry.gif

LOts & lots of stuph has gone on - mostly hideously embarassing for me to admit as I gave birth to him rolleyes.gif but we've finally reached the end of the line.

Our eldest son (22yrs) is also moving out (but under normal circumstance...will be flat sharing with a pal. Bachelor pad!! tongue.gif)

Soooo with just Alzey at home I'm feeling a slight 'empty nest' syndrome.

The upside is with the 2012 Olympics coming I've got 2 empty beds for any psills who wanna come wink.gif!!!!

What else....OH, and Tel's got shingles dry.gif Think stress had a part to play in that tho'

Carry on yooz peeps smile.gif

Gnickkers! I am really sorry to hear about DC. :( It sounds like something that had to happen, however... . . . ...and his moving out will bring positive change to your everyday life, for certain, and this is good. Perhaps it will end up bringing good things his way, as well.. . . ..it can only get better, right? Thinking o' youse.. .. ...:wub:

So, I'VE got first dibs on DC's bed for those sixteen days in 2012... . . . ...

Tel's got shingles on 'is face. .. ....:( .. Jyessss's got chickens in 'er pocket. . . . . . ...:). . . ...

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,

      I'll answer your second question first. The single best antibody test for monitoring celiac blood antibody levels is the tTG-IGA and it is very cost effective. For this reason, it is the most popular and often the only test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease. There are some people who actually do have celiac disease who will score negatives on this test anyway because of anomalies in their immune system but your wife is not one of them. So for her, the tTG-IGA should be sufficient. It is highly sensitive and highly specific for celiac disease. If your wife gets serious about eating gluten free and stays on a gluten free diet for the duration, she should experience healing in her villous lining, normalization in her antibody numbers and avoid reaching a celiac health crisis tipping point. I am attaching an article that will provide guidance for getting serious about gluten free living. It really is an advantage if all wheat products are taken out of the house and other household members adopt gluten free eating in order to avoid cross contamination and mistakes.

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .
