Feeling So Blah/sad

Maybe all this waitin, and feelin sick, and worried if I'll be alive enough to pass my finals, etc is really starting to hit me.

All of today I've wanted to cry, cry, cry.

Yesterday kind of started it, when my 2 aunties started talkin/cryin about how they are never going to be over the loss of my Uncle, how they want him to have been here for Easter, etc. I have learned to accept it, but that always sets me off again..

I sent a text message out to my closest friends yesterday sayin happy easter, and only 1 person replied...and she didnt even say it back, totally changed the topic. Didnt make me feel any better (like I hoped that would)..

when I paid off some of my bills today I realized I can only eat til next year, then I run out of money..(and thats only if I would actually only use my money for food and nothing else)..So I started thinkin about jobs that I can get that DONT involve gluten, and that I can run to the bathroom when my tummy says NOW without leavin someone waitin, which doesnt leave me with a heck of a lot..

and I am tired of feeling sick, and of being told I look like I'm going to fall over dead..(and as always, my family showin no concern)

I need my good friend..but the plan was to not call him til this weekend (so he can relax me for finals)..I wish he could drive those 2 hours over to me, be a real shoulder to cry on, and give me endless hugs..but anyone would know thats not possible.

I need to stop rantin here before i DO start to cry..Sorry if all I ever do is whine..

      Hey @suek54, I also have Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I used to be on Dapsone but have managed to wean myself off it after many attempts. It's quiet a toxic drug, as it affects the bone marrow and red blood cells. It also artificially reduces Hemoglobin A1C. Mine was at 21 at one stage, I think normal is around 37. With dermatitis herpetiformis, you need to be really strict. It wasn't until I focused on getting the trace minerals the body needs that I managed to get off it. I believe getting the thyroid numbers in the optimal range also helped with Iodine and Selenium. Iodine doesn't bother me for some reason, but flares others as knitty kitty said. I take Viridian Trace Mineral complex and it's made a huge difference, among other vitamins and minerals. Now I can tolerate gluten free oats which I could never eat before. Though I only have them very occasionally in the form of gluten free soda bread . One thing I miss is my Mums Irish soda bread. Hope this helps.

      Hi all Biopsy confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis. Strict gluten free diet going OK, I cook nearly everything from scratch anyway and am finding gluten free  adaptations for most recipes.  I seem to be tolerating 50mg Dapsone well, regular blood tests OK so far.  Next derma appt in 8 weeks. I have some continuing itching and rash outbreaks, though nowhere near as severe as they were, so I am hoping for an increased dose, as the effect only seems to last 6-7 hours.  I think I may be burning through it more quickly than some due to other medication. Also I cannot mount a response to inflammation due to Addison's Disease.  I hope others are finding their way though the minefield that is dermatitis herpetiformis. Hang on in there! Sue (in UK)

      @KeriRae, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or with dermatitis herpetiformis?
    • KeriRae
      I've had this same rash on my back on and off for the last year or two.  I was taking LDN to help with other issues but quit awhile back. I'm wondering if LDN would help with this rash.
