I think each of us needs our own The Dave while shopping at Whole Foods. Seriously that would save me a lot on my grocery bill :lol:

Okay Susan I've been curious about this for some time....what kind of nuggets do you Rachel? (what an odd sentence..) I think I missed that whole thing, as it was being discussed in the midst of purple glittery bats or something....

Hi Mango!

Yes, would The Dave hire himself out? Donna lives close enough - perhaps he could be the monitor of the Bumble bar consumption..... :)

the thing I Rachel beyond humanity is Hershey's milk chocolate Nuggetts with almonds...OMG could eat an entire one (or two :ph34r: ) pound bag at one sitting....so I'm not allowed to have them in teh house as I will eat the WHOLE THING......

Oh okay...I was originally thinking they were ice cream nuggets or chocolate nuggets, then I was starting to think chicken nuggets LOL (I could really go for some Ian's right about now). Thanks for clearing up the nugget mystery :)

Rachel, you can see we had fun with you while you were gone!!! :D Ah, can't date the boss ... but now he's not the boss. You'll have to tell him we've been talking about him so he can clear up this confusion for us!

Yeah...I definately had a good laugh about all this when I got home from work. :lol:

I dont know if The Dave still reads the posts....I guess we might find out though. :ph34r:

He's not my boss anymore so "technically" we could date each other. At least now we can hang out and not have to worry about running into people from work (this actually happened to us at the movies :ph34r: ).

I feel kind of like I wouldnt be good for anyone right now since I cant do all the "normal" things that people do. I have to be careful of everything and I cant just go out to eat like everyone else. I feel sort of inadequate I guess. I dont want other people having to deal with all my "issues".

Well my mom *has* to deal with it...she doesnt have a choice in it...but shes the only one. :P

Yea, but if TheDave is interested, he knows all about it, he's read more of this thread than I have, and he will have made the choice to deal with it. It's not all bad living like this ... :) At least he knows your issues up front!! ;)

Vincent,

Maybe he's gonna have to clue me in then...now that he's not my boss. :D

He also *could* be looking for friendship...we get along really well and have fun hanging out.

It seems to me that if someone were single and looking they would choose to go out with the normal girls and not the girl who cant eat anything and has to bring her own pots and pans over and gets sick from the slightest smell of chemicals in the air and cant go out for a drink...etc :rolleyes:

I couldn't agree more. He's made the choice to support you in this and knows your issues. He's even trying to help you choose right. You need to take him shopping more often. :P

My husband has been saying the same thing to me that you just told Rachel.....since page three hundred and something. It's nice to have the males perspective on this.

It was obvious a couple days into his posting. One day someone said if I guy read 110 pages of posts, he was very interested. Later, he quoted that and put this emoticon with it :lol: .

I'm working as a receptionist right now and I'm supposed to answer the phone "Welcome to Media Monitors Meredith speaking" but I was reading this thread when the last call rang and I accidentally said "Welcome to Rachelville...." oops that was really bad (yet somewhat funny). Good thing I'm not a professional receptionist back home. haha

Yeah....he DOES know all about my issues....thats for sure. I dunno if he wanted to know that much but hey...I dont hold anything back. :P

Guess what....I dont have Lyme Disease!! :o

The nurse called today and wanted me to change my Tuesday appt to the following week since they dont have the results of the other bloodtest yet. Thats the test that I had to redo cuz something happened with the first blooddraw. I told her I wanted to know the results of my Lyme test. She said the Dr. would go over it when I see him....but that I need to reshedule. I told her if I *know* the Lyme test is negative then I dont have a problem rescheduling but I dont want to change it w/out knowing the results because I dont want to have to wait another whole week for answers.

She then said that the test was negative so I went ahead and resheduled my appt. She said he would explain what it means when I see him. Well...I'm assuming it means I dont have Lyme Disease....right?? :huh:

At first my heart kind of sunk and I cried a few tears. Then I guess I felt somewhat relieved to not have Lymes. I was remembering how the Dr. himself said that between mercury toxicity and Lyme Disease....Lyme would be the worse of the two...although he didnt wish either of them on me....it would be better to have mercury poisoning.

I'm imagining he will have to direct some attention to mercury toxicity now that Lyme is ruled out. There really isnt a whole lot of other possibilities for whats causing all these symptoms.

I know what happened to me after the dental work...I know the symptoms I experienced. I was thinking that even if I got diagnosed with Lyme Disease....I would have to have heavy metal toxicity along with it. I know it was inevitable that I got higher than normal doses of mercury during that time. I had read that alot of people with Lyme also have heavy metal burden and its best to have amalgams removed. I was thinking that I might have both Lyme AND mercury toxicity...which was a pretty scary thought.

I thought I'd be extremely disappointed if my results were negative....but I'm actually not. Lyme Disease is scary. :ph34r:

I'm just really impatient....I wanna get to the bottom of this. Now I'll have to wait another week and a half to see the dr. and then who knows how long till I actually get tested for mercury. I've already waited 4 years....I think I've waited long enough. :rolleyes:

Rachel,

That's great news about not having Lyme. :D One more thing off the list. :)

Mercury toxicity here we come. At least testing and more than likely treatment.

I'm glad you were referred to a doctor that was willing to start to try and get some answers for you. :P

Where has he been......certainly not visiting us recently. :unsure:

Rach,

Two things...

First, do not get hung up on ONE thing causing EVERYTHING. You could have more then one root cuase.

Second.. if it is mecury ... what is the treatment?

Andrea,

I think everyone was hoping and praying I didnt have Lymes...except me. :huh:

Yesterday a customer told me he was gonna pray for me...that I dont have Lymes....I told him "But I do want to have it." How crazy....huh. :blink:

I must have been really desperate for answers to wanna have Lyme Disease. :ph34r:

Dave kept telling me I dont have it and I was asking him why he would keep telling me such a thing when I clearly WANT to have an answer. He said it was "tough love".....he didnt want me getting devastated when the test came back negative (and he was convinced it would). He said he couldnt wait to tell me "I told you so" when the results came back.

Today I called him after I found out...he didnt say "I told you so". He said he was sorry I didnt get an answer. :(

Well....like you said....Mercury Toxicity here we come. :D

I'm ready to tackle that...finally. I hope the Dr. doesnt fuss around with other stuff first. <_<

He had told me that the top reasons for my symptoms would be

1. Lyme disease

2 exposure to large amounts of chemicals

3. exposure to mold in my environment

4. Heavy Metal toxicity (i.e. mercury)

I think thats all thats left.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
