Woo-Hoo!!! Go Marlee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam Carolla?!?!?!?! That'll be a sight to see! Anyone think he'll dance any better than Wayne Newton? Somehow it doesn't seem fair pitting him against Kristi Yamaguchi... JMO

I'm looking forward to it too, although I have to admit a few of the stars I have never heard of.

I would venture to guess Adam Carolla has the potential to be better than Wayne, Wayne was awfully stiff, but who knows it's always a surprise to see those you think will do well that don't, or vice versa.

I frankly can't picture Penn ballroom dancing :lol::lol:

I believe the new season starts March 17th :D

Well, what did everyone think?

I liked Jason Taylor and Mario for the men and Kristi Yamaguchi for the women. I thought Pricilla Presley did well, but I'm not a big fan....

I also thought Steve Gutenburg was charming :)

I LOVED IT!!

The 2 nights is killing me though, I will be happy when they consolidate it into one......hmmmm but now that I am thinking about it it will always be 2 nights, one for the dancing and one for the vote off. Ugh! It makes it hard to keep up.

But I digress :D

loved it, loved it, loved it!

Every season I think it could never top the season before, but there are a lot of FUN Stars this time around. Penn and Adam Carolla are hysterical! Mario is probably my favorite guy, but I am with you Patti I like Jason too.

For the gals, I liked Kristi and Marlee (she did amazing!) Pricilla did better than I thought she would. I felt bad for Monica Seles, I could tell she was so out of her comfort zone but good for her for trying something new.

We are doing well. Annika is still suffering from the rash, but its no where near as bad as it was while I was breastfeeding. We're are one by one going through the formulas trying to find the right one for her. She started on Claritin today for the itching and her rash seems to be MUCH better as well, so maybe that's our answer? Who knows. I'm just glad it doesn't look like she's covered in cigarette burns anymore. That was awful. Tori's well also. She tested negative through Enterolab. :) She's starting to read really well and is moving past just strict phonics. Its really cool to watch her growing up. She started gymnastics a few weeks ago and she loves it. She's on spring break right now so I'm just trying to spend as much time with her as possible before she goes back to school.

Well, what did everyone think?

I really liked Marlee Matlin. I thought she did amazingly well, especially considering she's deaf. She represents one of my favorite TV shows, so I'm really cheering for her. I thought Jason and Mario were very good for the men. I thought Kristi Yamaguchi did really well, but I can't stand her from her figure skating days. Ugh, so boring... Presley did very well too, especially for her age. I was surprised. How old is she???

Anyway, I'm really rooting for Marlee Matlin this year. I know she won't win, but what an inspiration to others!!!

I agree, Marlee was amazing! I hope she goes far in the competition.

Pricilla is 62.

What does everyone think about who was kicked off first, Monica Seles for the ladies and Penn for the men?

I felt so bad for Monica, I thought she was judged harshly. This is something she was totally not used to doing, no dancing experience whatsoever, and she put her self out there to try something new, I thought she did pretty well considering.

Same with Penn.

But, someone always has to go, the name of the game I guess.

I was actually glad to see Penn go. I thought he was a little on the obnoxious side with his comments to the judges.

I'm really rooting for Marlee Matlin this season. I don't think she'll win, but I hope she goes to the finals.

I wasn't surprised--I actually thought they would be the first two to go. I know what you mean, though--Monica tried so hard and was visibly hurt when she was eliminated. I feel so bad for the first to go--all that work for one try at it. :(

I have to say I didn't care for Penn either....I love Marlee and I'll bet she makes it to the finals--or very close.

Marlee amazes me, she was so good tonight.

I pretty much have the same favorites, Kristi, Jason, Mario, Adam Carolla was even suprisingly ok (I think he's so funny too)

Julie, Marlee amazes me too. She is wonderful! She must be a very courageous woman to take on something like Dancing with the Stars.

I'm digging Adam Carolla too, though I think he'll be out either this week or next week. He makes me laugh. I remember watching him on the Man Show like ten years ago. lol

I'm also really impressed by Priscilla Presley. She's just so elegant and sexy for being 62.

I totally agree Angie. It's inspiring to see Marlee especially, but also Pricilla. I remember Adam from somewhere, but it wasn't the Man Show, I don't know if he was in any movies, or on an MTV show way back when. I am familiar with him, I just don't remember from where.

I guess I am not so surprised Steve Guttenberg was the next to go.

I also wasn't surprised to see Steve go. He was just kind of irritating. At least that's what my husband called it.

I really hope Marlee, Priscilla, and Jason are the top 3. I am sooooooo NOT a Yamaguchi fan. I didn't like her on the ice, and I don't like her on the dance floor. I'm not sure what it is about her, she just annoys me. She's boring.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.

      I made an account just to reply to this topic. My story resembles yours in so many ways that it is truly amazing. I also suddenly became lactose intolerant, went a little under 10 years attributing all my symtoms to different body parts, never thinking it was something systemic until much later. I had the same mental problems - anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. In fact, the only real difference in our story is that I was never formally diagnosed. When I discovered that my myriad symtoms, that had been continuous and worsening for years, all rapidly subsided upon cessation of consuming gluten, I immediately took it upon myself to cut gluten out of my diet completely. I live in America, and had lost my health insurance within the year prior to my discovery, so I could not get tested, and I will never willingly or knowingly consume gluten again, which I would have to do in order to get tested now that I have insurance again. But that is not the point of this reply. I also had extreme TMJ pain that began within months of getting my wisdom teeth out at - you guessed it - 17 years old. I was in and out of doctors for my various symptoms for about 5 years before I gave up, but during that time I had also kept getting reffered to different kinds of doctors that had their own, different solutions to my TMJ issue, an issue which I only recently discovered was related to my other symptoms. I began with physical therapy, and the physical therapist eventually broke down at me after many months, raising her voice at me and saying that there was nothing she could do for me. After that saga, I saw a plastic surgeon at the request of my GP, who he knew personally. This palstic surgeon began using botox injections to stop my spasming jaw muscles, and he managed to get it covered by my insurace in 2011, which was harder to do back then. This helped the pain tremendously, but did not solve the underlying problem, and I had to get repeat injections every three months. After a couple of years, this began to lose effectiveness, and I needed treatments more often than my insurance would cover. The surgeon did a scan on the joint and saw slight damage to the tissues. He then got approved by insurance to do a small surgery on the massseter (jaw) muscle - making an incision, and then splicing tissue into the muscle to stop the spasming. It worked amazingly, but about three months later it had stopped working. I was on the verge of seeing the top oral surgeon in our city, but instead of operating on me, he referred me to a unique group of dentists who focus on the TMJ and its biomechanical relationship to teeth occlusion (i.e. how the teeth fit together). This is what your dentist did, and what he did to you was boderline if not outright malpractice. There is a dental field that specializes in doing this kind of dental work, and it takes many years of extra schooling (and a lot of money invested into education) to be able to modify teeth occusion in this manner. Just based on the way you describe your dentist doing this, I can tell he was not qualified to do this to you. Dentists who are qualified and engage in this practice take many measurments of your head, mouth, teeth, etc., they take laboratory molds of your teeth, and they then make a complete, life-size model of your skull and teeth to help them guide their work on you. They then have a lab construct, and give you what is called a "bite splint." It looks and feels like a retainer, but its function is entirely different. This is essentially a literal splint for the TMJ that situates on the teeth. The splint is progressively modified once or twice per week, over several months, in order to slowly move the joint to its correct position. The muscles spasm less, stress is taken off the joint, as the joint slowly moves back into its proper position. The pain reduces each month, each week, sometimes even each day you go in for a visit. The joint has to be moved in this manner with the splint BEFORE the modification to the teeth begins. They then add to your tooth structure with small bits of composite, to keep the joint in its proper place after it has been sucessfully repositioned. Subtracting from your teeth, by grinding down bits of your natural tooth structure, is done very conservatively, if they have to do it at all. This process worked for me - after six months, my face, jaw, neck all felt normal, and I had no more pain - a feeling I had not had in a long time. It also made my face look better. I had not realized the true extent that the spasming muscles and the joint derangement had effected the shape of my face. The pain began to return after a few months, but nowhere near where it had been before. This immense reduction in pain lasted for a little over two years. The treatment still ultimately failed, but it is not their fault, and it is still the treatment that has given me the most relief to this day. Later on, I even went about three years with very, very good pain reduction, before the joint severely destabilized again. This field of dentistry is the last line treatment for TMJ issues before oral surgery on the TMJ. There aren't as many denists around who practice this anymore, and the practice is currently shrinking due to dentists opting for less espensive, additional educations in things like professional whitening, which have a broader marketability. Getting this treatment is also very expensive if not covered by insurance (in America at least). My first time was covered by insurance, second time was not, though the dentist took pity on me due to the nature of my case and charged like a quarter of usual pricing. Most cases seen by these dentists are complete successes, and the patient never has to come back again. But occasionally they get a case that is not a success, and I was one of those cases. A little over a year ago, I began seeing the second dentist who keeps my TMJ stable in this manner. The first dentist retired, and then died sadly. A shame too, because he was a truly amazing, knowledgable guy who really wanted to help people. The new dentist began to get suspicious when my joint failed to stay stable after I was finished with the bite splint and his modifications, so he did another scan on me. This is ten years after the first scan (remember, I said the surgeon saw "slight" damage to the tissue on the first scan). This new scan revealed that I now no longer have cartilage in the joint, on both sides - complete degeneration of the soft tissues and some damage to the bone. The dentist sat me down and had a talk with me after these results came in, and said that when he sees damage like this in cases like mine, that the damage to the joint is most likely autoimmune, and that, in his experinece, it is usually autoimmune. He has sent patients with cases like mine to Mayo Clinic. He said he will continue to see me as long as the treatment continues to offer me relief, but also said that I will probably have to see a dentist for this type of treatment for the rest of my life. He is not currently recommending surgery due to my young age and the fact that the treatment he provides manages my symptoms pretty well. I still see this dentist today, and probably will see this kind of dental specialist for the rest of my life, since they have helped with this issue the most. I did not inform him that I am 100% sure that I have celiac disease (due to my complete symptom remission upon gluten cessation). I didn't inform him because I thought it would be inappropriate due to not having a formal diagnosis. I was disappointed, because I had believed I had caught it BEFORE it had done permanent damage to my body. I had never suspected that my TMJ issues may be related to my other symptoms, and that the damage would end up complete and permanent. Luckily, I caught it about 6 months after my other joints started hurting, and they stopped hurting right after I went gluten free, and haven't hurt since. I of course did the necessary research after the results of the second scan, and found out that the TMJ is the most commonly involved joint in autoimmune disease of the intestines, and if mutliple joints are effected, it is usually the first one effected. This makes complete sense, since the TMJ is the most closely related joint to the intestines, and literally controls the opening that allows food passage into your intestines. I am here to tell you, that if anyone says there is no potential relationship between TMJ issues and celiac disease, they are absolutely wrong. Just google TMJ and Celiac disease, and read the scientific articles you find. Research on issues regarding the TMJ is relatively sparse, but you will find the association you're looking for validated.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.
