I read this & then said out loud " Ain't that the truth!". Then I looked at the next post & that's exactly what Patti said!

Thanks for the good thoughts.

The rehab docs name is Dr Burger. He kept telling her his name and she acted like she didn't hear. When he left she said , " He didn't look like a hamburger!". She will now call him the Hamburger Docotor.

Oh, Kherrighnne....:(....I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. Been there -- it's a rough go, being the advocate for a newly vulnerable, needy parent. But what great news, their prediction that she should respond well to rehab.... .. ...we were told the same thing with my mom after her stroke, and lo and behold, she made significant recovery after three months of intensive work. I'm really hopeful for you! :):)

She isn't but she won't get tested. If she is, it isn't her worst issue.

Hope they let us decorate her room for Xmas! trying to decide if we should go tasteful or gaudy! I don't think she will like gaudy so I better decorate before J gets home from college! He & M believe the more sparkle & shiny, the better.

My dad was in the hospital one holiday season and I didn't even ask, just marched in with lights n' stuff and put them up. I did use synthetic greenery in case of allergies, but that was about my only concession.

Well, I thought we might be welcoming a new monarch today, but the karma worked out differently. Karen will continue as Queen of the Psillies for another hundred pages.

This is un- Psilly but I guess this is where to put it.

My mom has some heart issues. A Fib occasionally and an aortic heart valve that functions at about 30%. We have been managing this and we're planning to enroll in a study of a percutaneous replacement valve.

Tuesday night, she had a stroke. At first, it didn't look too bad. Then Wed, she had some odd heart emzymes and a bleed was showing up in her brain. As of today it seems she isn't as bad as it looked yesterday. It appears her left arm, leg and side of her face are affected. She has some movement. The Rehab doc saw her this evening. He thinks she can regain most of her function with rehab.

Anyway, that's what's been going on here.

Dear Kareng,

We'll be keeping her and your whole family in our prayers. For some reasons the holidays uually bring some sort of catastrophe. I guess it goes with the territory. We're al so busy trying to get everything ready.

As for where to post this, I look at this thread as a place to laugh and to hang out with my psilly family even though what we need to share isn't always psilly. I'm recuperating from surgery but it wasn't what they thought so more tests and possibly more surgery. I did throw a pity party yesterday but today I plan on laughing. Last night Clark showed me an ad for a rubber scrotum ($160) so you can learn to self check. The responses were funnier than the product and we both felt better after we laughed so hard that we cried.

Please keep us posted on your mom and Rachelle keep being the brave warrior that you are.

We all love you!!! wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

OK, Clark just emailed me the link to the product and one review. I trust Peoter or any other moderator t decide if it's appropriate to post. All I know is I needed a good laugh and this did it.

Love, Loey & Clark

This was sent to Clark from his best Bro and below is a customer review and the link to the product. I'll understand if it's too inappropriate to post.

Not only a wonderful teaching model, but while trying to find the tumors, I discovered, it acts as a makeshift stress ball! When I am in line at the grocery store I just whip out this handy little bugger and squeeze away....the line around me just dissapears...what an effective little doo dad!

Finally, a rubber scrotum that I can use for exam training purposes. My room mate was going "nuts" (pardon the pun) because I kept trying to use his. I wish he wasn't such a light sleeper. Oh well.

I certainly can't find a better way to spend a hundred and sixty five bucks than on a rubber scrotum. Hell, at that price they're practically giving them away! You'd have to be NUTS not to buy one! Now I can take a break from squeezing my own scrotum constantly and give the little bugger a breather. Take the plunge folks, coz you're sure to have a BALL with

YAY!!! THE NEW QUEEN IS PASSING OUT RUBBER SCROTA!!

Kitties is back from their trip to the vet (2nd round of shots) and all went well. No diarrhea all over the carrier today. Babies are relaxing after the traumatic morning, and Bo is pacing, perhaps trying to figure out how to spin the fact that he spent his time in the exam room cowering behind the carrier whilst the babies scooted around and checked things out. Molly even jumped up on the exam table to comfort Bo after her shot was done. :wub: :wub:

Bo is a whopping 17 pounds, while Molly is just under 4 1/2.

YAY!!!!!! I FINALLY had something psilly to contribute. When I told Clark I was posting it online but didn't know if it was allowed he told me it's on Amazon. So, fellow psillies you don't have to even leave the comfort of your home to buy this wonderful toy. Hmmm... I wonder if they sell female parts?

When Clark showed it to me we laughed so hard I was sure I split a stitch. Off to Xmas shop today then back to testing this week. Endoscopy on Tuesday. At least it doesn't entail cutting.

I miss you all.

Love, Loey

P.S. Karenggh - how's your mom doing?

I'm hoping that the mall we go to has a Spencer Gifts. They have a whole stock of outrageous gifts. I also have time to order him the scrotum.

      14 year old with Celiac & EOE still suffering...

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B
