Halloween Fun

In lieu of Halloween coming up, and it is one of my fave holidays I thought it would be fun to  discuss your fave costume you've ever done.

For myself I would say  that as a kid, the one year my mother dressed me up as the wolf from Little Red Ridding Hood, but as an adult I would say it was the year I dressed up as a vampire. I had a friend who designed all kinds of fake costume teeth and he had made me a set that was so cool and unexpected. It was fun I guess too because it was my first time visting New Orleans as well so it was kind that whole wooo hooo  vacay in the big easy thing.

When teaching I was a sow (pig) once. I wore a snout, ears, and pink long underwear with a curly tail and nipples sewn down the front... Those high school kids got a kick out of it.

 

I'd love to see Halloween done American style.  It's not such a big deal up here, maybe because by October 31st it is usually darn cold and snowy and really limits costumes and decorations... although we have made some creepy snow men in the past.  LOL

My best costumes were in college. My Dad helped me build a slot machine which I wore. It worked too! Payout was in candy! Won a prize for that one. Another one was a "girl in a hot tub". Complete with steam rising from dry ice and my glass of wine! Thank goodness I live in a warm climate!

Sewing an Aurora costume (Malificent movie) for my daughter today.

Halloween is a big deal in our neighborhood!

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
