I hate that I haven't been on the board in a while and I missed all of this!!!

Shirley-I am very sorry for your loss. Peace be with you.

Deb-wow.

Lynne-double wow. (crying)

Everyone-wow again. I love this board.

I hate a lot of things. But after reading this, I mostly hate that I don't value myself or my health enough to quit cheating. I love this board. I hate that it took reading Lynne's story to move me to value my health. I get sick, and then I brush it off, because of all of the people around me telling me that it isn't a big deal. I care more about what they think then I do about my own health. I hate that.

God Bless you all, you have no idea what people reading this are thinking and are feeling. You have helped me more than you know. Tiffany (TiffJake)

I know about all of the other sad posts, but since it's Friday and all, I thought I'd try to bring a bit more fun back to the thread...

I HATE it when Sonic forgets to put the marischino cherry in my dang cherry coke! :angry::P

Hey, the little things count too! :P

I despise how a television season isn't a true season anymore! What happened to TV like it was in the 80's? You had a favourite TV show, and once the season started, you were guaranteed a new show EVERY week until the cliffhanger at the end of the season. Nowadays, you never know what you are going to get. Half the time, it is a rerun and the other half of the time, it's not even on! (I tuned in to watch House as I religiously do every Tuesday night, and what was on? A double shot of the Gilmore Girls!!!! <_< Where's my House???????? :angry: The other half of the time, it's a rerun from a previous season!

Wuz up with that???? <_<

Okay, that's my rant for the day!

I hate that I'm going to a funeral service for one of my friends today. I'm really going to miss her. Training dogs and painting just isn't going to be the same.

Shirley, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. You're in my thoughts.

I hate all of the sypmtoms I feel...

and I hate that I've been suffering from them for a long long time and it took until now for a doctor to go, huh that sounds like something I read about once...let me go look through some papers I'll be back...IDIOTS!!

I hate NEVER cuddling with my boyfriend because by the time he gets home I'm blown up to the size of a blimp

I hate not eating an entire day during class because I don't want to be bloated or feel the need to release that air while the professor is speaking!! :P:blink: :blink:

BUT you know what I love...I love knowing that other people feel like I do, that I'm not the only one who needs a nap because I got overwhelmed with this NEW fangled diet and ate a whole basket of Texas Roadhouse rolls...and that all these symptoms aren't just me overexaggerating or being a cry-baby.....

I hate being obsessed with food.

I'm new here, but thought I would join in. My life is pretty good, so this is mostly in fun.

I hate the nutritional and health misinformation that runs rampant.

I hate it that doctors are mostly drug pushers that treat symptoms with lifetime prescriptions rather than find the root cause of the problem.

I hate it that most research these days is to find more profitable drugs or to prop up crumbling dogma, instead of improving the overall health of the nation.

I hate it that my parents think doctors are infallible.

I hate it that my Mom won't look into gluten sensitivity when she has had lifetime serious GI problems.

I hate it that my Dad won't even consider looking into any other treatment methods (and isn't really following the one he's on), and I will probably lose him because of it.

I hate it that I can't touchtype but am too lazy to do anything about it.

I hate it that my pre-diabetic mother-in-law was put on a high carb diet by a nutritionist, when she is already having problems controlling her blood sugar and that my mil will probably do it so that she doesn't have to give up bananas, milk and cereal.

I hate it when someone speeds up and passes me on the passing lane and then slows way down.

I hate it when someone claims that someone is deficient in taste, intelligence, or knowledge just because that person doesn't like exactly what they like, be it music, literature, fashion, cars, etc.

I hate it that I used to be that way and missed out on a lot of great music because of it.

I hate that living in the country means crappy produce and sub-par schools.

I hate that I have a hard time doing new things and am probably holding back my kids.

I really hate that this is the first nice week in a long time and I've either been sick or at work.

I hate that my truck is dirty (actually filthy is more like it) right now and I haven't had the time to wash it.

I hate it that there are a lot of people that are offended at the drop of the hat and their "offended-ness" is somehow more important than other's opinions or rights.

I hate it that the Chiefs are doing absolutely nothing in free agency and it's a whole month 'til the draft.

I hate it when people spell the abbreviation of "until" as "till". :)

Wow, this is fun. I could do this all day.

Judy, yeah I work part time for a chiropractor, and I've been there 5 years. Up until about 4 months ago he was able to keep my appointments filled and I was averaging about $600 a week (part time)... which was awesome... it's been declining over the past four months down to about $400 a week... this past week was pitiful and was barely even $300 and he didn't even tell me until I was getting my time sheet together to get my paycheck today that he didn't have enough money to even pay me that. He gave me less than half of that in a check and $30 in cash... AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH... Things have already been tight because hubby's been out of work since November... doing reselling on E-bay, and bringing in some income, but not a salary... but as long as I was getting paid I was ok...

thank you too Patti... I'm just really po'ed right now.

technically I'm still employed there, but if this is going to become a pattern with my boss (which it looks like it is) I am going to have to find something else. My husband thinks that if he doesn't pay me the rest of what he owes me before Monday that I shouldn't go back in on Monday... I'm still trying to decide what to do. I love him (the chiro Dr.) as a person, but as an employer he sucks. I've given him 5 years of my professional life and really have nothing to show for it. No benefits, No savings, No improvement in financial status, No clientel that is mine to follow me if and when I leave, I will have to start over from scratch. I'm really confused as to WHAT to do at this point. I don't want to have to find another job, but I can't go on like this. It's not working for me.

Nini- i just wanted to say that i'm sorry about this -it STINKS (like bad pooop). I've seen this happen with some of the start-up computer companies my friend's have worked for. LAME. and with the additional stress of hubby being out of work, I can't imagine.

PS What kind of degree did you have to get to be an assistant to a chiro? Could you use it to be a PT assistant at a hospital or a clinic or are those two mutually exclusive? Just trying to brainstorm for you.

I am a licensed massage therapist... I went to massage school and have learned how to be a CA (Chiro Assistant) on the job...

It's too hard to explain. I'm 28 and too old to truely *understand* from the 'experienced it' sense, myself. :-) I do know enough to know it's not worth understanding. :-P (Then again, I had just started getting into the new-age yoga-hippie crowd before moving, so my judgement may be suspect. :-D)

Can I get in on this whole hate thing?

I hate that Celiac was ever created.

I hate that I cannot go out to eat like normal people.

I hate that there is not a good health food store where I live.

I hate that I do not know how to cook.

I hate that I cannot have the foods back that I like to eat.

I hate that I spend all of my time in the grocery store reading labels.

I hate eating the same foods all of the time.

I hate that I have been suffering from treatment resistant depression for 35 yrs.

I hate that this disease controls your lives.

I hate that some family members think that cheating won't kill you. They say it didn't hurt you before you found out about it so why should it matter now.

I hate the cravings that I am having that I cannot fix,

I JUST HATE!!!

Nini,

Sorry to go off topic, I know you are having personal problems, but I'm wondering about Chiropractors. What exactly are they used for? Do you believe they get results?

Again, sorry you are having work problems.

Nisla,

sorry your work situation is souring, it's not a good scene to be in. I don't know anything about your area of work so I can even suggest something that you can jump into with your background. What about at a physical therapy center? I'm sure you've thought of this too....

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
