Dave, you have to put Town Hottie and Town Troublemaker in your job description.

Done...but I must disagree :rolleyes:

Boy oh boy.

I leave to have dinner and you guys go south on me.

May I remind you that Rachelville has rules of decorum and dress. Mr. Dave--you at least need a tank top on while working we can't have all the women falling all over themselves (whether it be from laughter or fainting :lol: ). The rest of you, Mother Hen is back on patrol and expects better behavior. :P

It would be laughter...but my apologies to the Mother Hen!

:lol::lol::lol:

Village idiot you better fix you signature... :o:lol:

Done.

NO EFFIN' AFLAC GEESE!!!!!

If we have the aflac bird I'm moving out of Rachelville.

Don't ask why, too traumatic. A guy and a lot of vodka. I'll leave it at that.

Besides, the AFLAC bird is a DUCK. Geese honk, they don't quack :rolleyes:

(That was a premature post, I'm all caught up now though, as of 8:56pm)

Hmmm...ok, sounds like a pretty interesting story though!

And where are the Altoids?????

No that would be my parrot! That's what happens when you get a friend to babysit for a week, they teach your bird to say AFFLAC!!!! :lol:

I'm in your time zone, too!!!

Sorry about your parrot! I would kill whoever babysit your bird!

OMG- I go get a colonoscopy and have 20 pages to read, The Dave is half-naked and i don't even know him, and we're slow dancin', swaying to the music and Karen is ALREADY in the stright jacket. GREAT googly moogly i say! That'll learn me to take time out for an alien probe. :P

It was fine. My colon is A OK endoscopically speaking (sorry Dave- there is colon talk on here :ph34r: )

but won't know about microscopically OK on Friday. She took biopsies and pictures (wwhich I will NOT post for your viewing pleasure :blink: ). No evidence of colitis or IBD. She thinks probably C Diff despite negative test, but also is checking my thyroid, and it could be gall bladder because some people develop chronic D after having it removed (so then can I have it back please? :huh: )

Carla- I LOVE your new pic. So pretty!!!!!!!

Gotta run. Long day, many drugs (most of which were good but I have narcotic nightmares- these long dream that I can't escape from where mean, yucky things are happening). narcotics are NOT my friend. Would rather drink a bottle of tequila and hold a stick between my teeth. I'm probably the only perspn on the planet to take that!!!!! I'm tired. Yawn!!!! And it was a long day- had to leave for Boston at 5 a.m., endure alien probe, take said narcotics and then catch up on 20 pages in Rachelville. Want my bed!!!!! Love to all, esp. the purple glittery bats, Beverly

I think it would be safe to take off the jacket until night fall...when it gets late you might need to put it back on....

Dave, Dave, Dave........... you don't know me very well, do you......... It is NEVER safe with me around..... :D

Do the geese in Rachelville go around yelling AFFLAC?

-Dave

They are Canada Geese - they end everything with "eh"........

Beverly, if it is microscopic (collagenous) colitis they were looking for, it wouldn't be visible during the colonoscopy anyway. The only way to confirm is with a pathologist looking at the biopsy samples through a microscope.....

Okay, straightjacket going back on........

Beverly, glad everything went well today! That sounds horrible what the narcotics do to you, probably would do the same to me. I don't mix well with drugs.

Carla, good to hear you had such a great experience at Maggianos :)

I didn't make Dave do it, I just ordered him to :lol::lol:

You can take it off if you don't agree with it...

Yikes, That doesn't sound like fun.

Talitha's got her 3 month check back with the nephrologist on Thursday. We don't expect any problems and neither does he (the doctor).

I've got to get all the kidlets to bed. I'll be back later.

Night to all who need to leave before I get back. :P

Julie,

How's the diet going?

Did Rachel get lost. Grocery shopping takes up sooooo much time. :P

Dave,

Are you still with us? You're being awfully quiet if you are.

Another late night for Mitch. He went in between 4-5 this morning and still isn't home. :(

Good googly moogly gosh-I am gone for a few hours and The Dave is half naked (I even did an f5 and didn't SEE it, lol), drive by postings, everyone else asleep :blink: I am on daylight savings time too, but have insomnia quite alot.

Andrea, when do you sleep, girl! I meant to mention before, but my dh's grandmother was named Talitha. I never knew another. I love Biblical names, too.

Hey, The Dave, so, you work with Rachel? What exactly do you do? Is there a Mrs. Village Idiot? Tell us more about yourself. What are your hobbies? Do you by any chance make scrunchies or bracelets? Enquiring minds want to know, lol :P

Hey Robbin,

It's great to see you this late.

I usually head off sometime between 10:30 and 11:30 and don't get up until 7:30 or 8:00. Kids don't get up until between 7-8. I'm one of those that like to sleep my 8 hours. Kids names...Talitha, Micah and Seth....all bible names.

Wow...he must get some crazy OT!

I'm still here.....lurking mostly....not busy tonight...full moon must be gone huh?

Don't I wish. He gets paid by the mile. I'm one the phone with him now. He's about 2 hours away and waiting for another truck to get loaded, then he'll be on his way home. It'll be about midnight before he gets home and then he's out the door around 5 if not earlier.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
