LOL  Your husband sounded like a character... you seem to share the same outlook and humor.  :)

 

So you did have the free T's tested then.  Good. You may just want to sit on it until any other tests are done for lupus.  I hope it's not... It does sound like you are going through so much pain though.  Sounds bad.  :(

 

Does fibromyalgia fit with what you are experiencing?  I know it can co-occur with many things.  I remember looking into it when my problems were worse but it didn't fit me - no muscle pain, just weakness.  

 

(hugs)

People used to get us mixed up. We of course LOOKED nothing alike. I was 5'10" and he was 6'8". He had a big reddish beard and was bald on top, while I had no beard :lol: and back then I actually had hair.

 

But our personalities were so alike that our friends said it didn't matter which of us they were talking to, it felt the same. As a matter of fact, one year for a halloween party neither of us dressed up. We told everyone we came in costume though, and they had to figure it out. What we did was, any time someone addressed a question to me by name, he answered, and vice versa. No one even NOTICED! By the end of the party we had to tell them. They all said it wasn't fair because we were the same person anyway.

 

While I'm not wanting to check out quite yet, I must say I do look forward to seeing him again when I get to Heaven. :wub:

That's one of the reasons I can have a positive attitude about having lupus. I have had the greatest life anyone could imagine. My parents were the absolute best in the world. My husband was the absolute best in the world. My friends are the absolute best in the world. I've had the opportunity to play music for 50 years. I live in (except for the food :rolleyes: ) the most beautiful place on the planet. And I even now have the most lovable cat ever! How could ANYONE who has had all this be unhappy?

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
