actually had time to read up on lyme today. is it ok to be terrified? :(

Yes, but only for a minute .... once you know the face of the monster making you ill, you will only then be able to fight it.

I'm feeling pretty tired today myself ... I had a little energy this morning, but all the activity is catching up with me.

Yes, I'm going to a doc in NY in January .... I'll have to find that name again.

It will have been two weeks that Igenex rec'd the blood on Tues. I expect that with the holiday it may take a little longer.

Then I went to buy some new shampoo ... they added wheat and oats to Alterna ... jerks ...

Jerks!!! Why do they have to change a perfectly good product...I just don't understand it.

As far as I know there was no extra cost....you can also bring in any supplements or meds you want to have tested.

Making bracelets and lying on the couch sounds sooo peaceful and relaxing to me. I've been up since 4...had to go in to work....filling up milk and eggs. Not fair. :angry:

Thanks! Well, I woke up at 4:30, but just didn't get out of bed until after 5:00, lol. Hopefully you'll get to relax soon!

Doggies licking your fingers.....I have that every day here. :) I don't know what I would do without my girls, and they were allowed to go to my brother's (their stinkiness usually deters social invitations :lol

very humourous indeed! :lol: and crazily sad...... :huh:

Yes, I'm so happy my cousin brings hers to all family functions...they are beagles...rescued from a research lab, and they are adorable.

it's just SO cold here today! (well, we are wussies in California, it's probably 50 degrees and that is freezing to me, to go hiking :lol: )

Yep, I had a long sleeve tee-shirt, a sweat shirt and the space heater on today...we really are wussies, we Californians, lol. :lol:

You big babies! It was 68 and sunny here today!!! Very unusual!

lyme ladies...today was a bad day for me...couldn't even make it into work. actually had time to read up on lyme today. is it ok to be terrified? :(

I'm sorry you had a bad day! Yes, I'd say not only is it okay, but I'd go so far to say that I might be worried if you weren't terrified! :(

You big babies! It was 68 and sunny here today!!! Very unusual!

:lol: I'm the first to admit, I'm a big baby! :lol::lol: I did have some small excuse though...I needed to get some stuff together for the trip--hadn't even begun to think about packing...it's hard to think about what to take to the caribbean when you're shivering, lol. :lol: I am now mostly packed though. Gotta love those space heaters. :lol:

Sure, for a minute but then remember you are in the company of Lunatic Laughing Lyme Ladies and you are going to be just fine. We are fearless, capable of exploring voodoo magic, confronting idiot doctors, investigating and treating ourselves, and very importantly we can laugh at the Lyme Monster. :ph34r: This is not bragging. :rolleyes::lol::lol: We are surrounded by friends here in Rachelville and we know that here is a place.... now I need the Cheers lyrics. :wub:

I must say, that is why I was supposed to go. I needed to hear that. I felt like I was being wrapped in a big hug.

That's one of my favorites!

Quick drive-by.....gotta go to BioSET. Another chemical treatment. :o

Just wanted to say this.....I'm the BIGGEST wussie of all! OMG....I'm freakin COLD!! I NEED a serious heatwave right about now. I'm wearing 2 pairs of long johns under my pants. I think 4 layers on top....at work I had to wear by big puffy jacket OVER these 4 layers...and STILL COLD!!

I dont like coldness. :(

Maybe it is the Lyme...turning off my body heat?? :unsure:

Stupid Lyme. :angry:

Rachel, maybe it's time for a sauna, sorry you are so cold. :(

Laura, that is a beautiful passage and so deeply true. Thank you for posting it. :)

jerseyangel Proficient

Laura, what comforting words--I tell ya, I felt like I was wrapped in a hug as I read it. Just beautiful :) I was reading what you said about your decision to stay with the doctor at JH. It sounds like a good idea. He seems to be open-minded and realizes that you know what you're talking about. You are going to get this all worked out :)

Rinne, I hope you are feeling better today--you do sound more positive! I bought the tea you suggested--Tension Tamer. I haven't tried it yet because I bought it on Wednesday and didn't want to feel too relaxed while I needed to cook for Thanksgiving! Going to have a cup tonight, though :rolleyes: Thanks! Oh, glad you liked the Cheers theme--it just goes through my head sometimes :D

Rachel, How did you do yesterday? It about broke my heart that you were spending the day alone. I even told my husband that it must be some kind of cosmic joke that I can feel so close to people who are in reality thousands of miles away. You know that if we were closer geographically, you would have been invited to our table with us having whatever you could manage. :)

Donna, How was your resting day? It sounded very nice, actually! :D How cute do your cousin's beagles sound?

Sorry to everyone who's cold and can't seem to get warm. I always ran hot--to the point where the slighest exertion would make me sweat, even in the dead of winter. Now, I get cold easily--but today, it was georgeous, sunny and warm enough to open a few windows. It's supposed to be nice through the weekend. I hope we don't pay for this with a harsh, cold winter.

Susan--How you doin' today, Sweetie? Did you have to work? :unsure:

Carla, you look like one of the kids in your new picture--very cute! Your son is very handsome.

Wierd not having Andrea here :unsure: I hope all is going well for her with her dad and all.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Thanks, Patti!

Patti's right, any of you would have been invited here, too. :)

rinne Apprentice

I'll iron the pillowcases. :lol:

It does feel odd without Andrea here. :)

I bought new napkins and placemats for Thanksgiving ... I've always had not enough, and with our new dining room table, I thought it was time for new ones. So, I washed them first and took them upstairs ... hubby asked what I was doing, and I told him I was ironing them. He couldn't comprehend that they needed to be ironed! Now, if I started ironing pillow cases, I don't know what he'd do!!

I'll be glad to get an update from Andrea.

:lol: Carla--I bought a new tablecloth and napkins! I lucked out--they're not cotton so I ran them thru the wash and put the tablecloth directly on the table from the dryer and folded the napkins quickly! No wrinkles and no ironing, either :D Bone lazy :ph34r:

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
