You and the erudite? Is that what you said? :lol::lol:

:lol: I did say erudite. one of my favorite words. Pronounced AIR-yoo-dite......means quite well-read and scholarly. ;) We really only need a little bit of that though, too much and men just become too difficult for us to manage (can you say, SUSAN'S DAD??? God rest his soul). :lol:

Andrea - - wow, Talitha DOES sound like a handful. Since I"m not a parent, I of course have nothing to say.....I don't know whether that is from metals or foods or...what. but I have faith that you'll figure it out. :) And certainly with the help of all the erudite ones on here.

:)

OMGosh...I'm wearing the most posh flip flops. :lol: remember the furry bathrobe I bought a few months ago...these are made out of the same plush stuffed animal type fur and are so very comfy...I'm in heavan right now! Plus the bright bubble gum pink looks oh so marvey with my lime green toes! :lol: Speaking of lime green toes...I made a point of asking my mother what she thought of them...her response... "Oh my" :lol: Denise at BioSET loved them. :P

We did the second half of the food additives today...still had a full glass. She was also amazed that she had to press the probe thingy on my palm very hard. So hard that I had a little hole there for a while. :( She asked if my energy was always that low and I said yes...so she did some cross checking for exhaustion...nothing came up so then she asked if I sleep well. Um NO. So she did some cross checking with insomnia and bingo stuff came up. I think I was treated for whatever it was that came up so hopefully I'll sleep good tonight.

My ART session was good too. The viral infection that was found last time is gone, but he still found bacterial and fungal problems. I asked if the bacteria could be the lyme and he said no...lyme wasn't included in that bacterial slide. Lyme was big time again and it is still affecting my thyroid.

Scatology warning...

Do you remember a few dozen pages back when the Expl D started...I thought it might be the essential fatty acid supplements. Well I mentioned that to him and he tested and sure enough, it was really bad. It was totally blocking my energy. I haven't taken that in 3 days now and I haven't had the Expl D either.

The scatology alert has now ended. :lol:

I am going to start taking the chlorella again, but will start with only half the amount I was taking before. It still shows up as important.

So far the only thing I've been taking for the lyme was Transfer Factor, so he checked a few more things and found a couple of herbals that would work for me. I'll be alternating those two...two weeks on one, then two weeks on another.

The digestive enzymes everyone wants me to take didn't test well either...he tested a couple that might work so I may give those a try in a few weeks.

Still have two more supplements to add from Dr. S's list, then have to find two more from that list. Took a new one off that list today...we'll see how that goes.

Carla - I actually like broccoli, so the carlaing really does apply. :P

I think most of us just plain suffer from lack of restraint.

Does seem to be a theme with us doesn't it. :P It's obvious I don't think about reactions whilst racheling...Bumble Bars, Lays potato chips...

Okay guys, I tend to be a perfectionist. Adam would say we lived in a model home prior to my being ill. So, as soon as I feel a bit better, off to clean I go! Our bedroom is the finished attic of our house ... probably 1200 sq. ft. ... it's not all one big room, it's like a master suite/hideaway ... I can't wait to get our disgusting bathroom redone, then it will be like a spa! Anyway, I dusted, vacuumed and mopped the whole thing today! Had to take a LOT of breaks ... but it's done (except for the bathroom).

I am a perfectionist with just about everything EXCEPT my house...darn thing can fall down around me and have dust up to my chin. :P:ph34r:

I'm so-o-o glad I don't have to deal with all that period-related stuff anymore!

You and me both!!! Best thing that ever happened to me. :P

It seemed like something was wrong w/ the scatology talk so I looked it up in my Webster's.

It doesn't mention science.

Says "obsession w/ excrement".

Just an FYI

But yes, we are a little obsessed! :lol: (rightly so, of course)...... but Murph, I am sure you are aware, any time "ology" is added to the end of a word, it means, the study of. I briefly researched the root word SCAT, but ran out of time.....will do later. ;) I am obsessed with words, dontcha know.

Sounds like you had a really good session today--and found out the cause of the ED. I can't wait to hear if you get a better night's sleep tonight--please report on that tomorrow :lol: Wouldn't that be great!

My only regret on the Hys. is that I should have done it 15 years ago ;)

It's now only a half an hour until Prairie Home Companion, must find a cool place to lie down and listen....now where it that shirtless man to fan me and provide my eats and serve mint juleps? :lol: Will have to settle for the mellifluous voice of Mr. Keillor.

Hehe I was wondering whether I shoulda mentioned that my handy paperback dictionary was a couple decades old. It doesn't show a 2nd def.

But still I think the far more common usage is towards obsession rather than study.

Nevertheless I stand corrected. :)

Hi Murph - -- words definitely do take on different meanings and intonation over the years. I shall have to go look at my HUGE webster's from 1960, and see what that says.

More etymology of scatology (and another interesting French Acadian word I'd never heard of, at the top of this article):

Open Original Shared Link

Head toward the bottom, in case you care about origin of scat - from the greek, evidently.

did I mention I am obsessed with words? :ph34r: Over eight years combined study of three foreign languages......and where did it get me? no one speaks French in Fresno. :lol:

does anyone have an idea?

My stool reaches my rectum but then won't come out. I am doing a regular enyma. I know this can't be good. would senna or cascara be a good lax for right now. So desperate. Water enymas don't work. sorry :(

I'd like to say I'm just short of 'obsessed w/ words', but I might be unequivocally obsessed. Unfortunately it leads to a lot of pet peeves about language - lately it's newspeople on tv saying "an historic". To me it sounds as wrong as saying "an history test", but I swear they say "an" ~5x more than "a".

Stupid to have this nonsense bother me, huh?

Dear Mia,

I know the sugar is really bad for me. I am trying to cut it out. I did not rachel any cookies today! I racheled like a pound of Ore-Ida Fries! :lol: That is all I ate all day! I am good now. I need to reduce my sugar intake again before it is too late! I know the Candida likes it too much.

You sure have a busy week ahead! I have an appointment the 5th, but that is it. I do need to call Monday to make sure about the time, though. I am glad you get to have the Mayan massage! Let us know how all of the appointments go!

Dear Donna,

I love your use of scatology! :lol: That is so funny! I am also glad you found out what was causing the D. Those EFAs do not always set well with everyone. I do not tolerate oil of any kind.

I cannot believe you used to get up at 3:30am to exercise! I always worked out in the evenings. When I was a teenager, I used to be able to workout for two hours every night! Now, I am lucky to get off of the sofa some days without putting forth extreme effort! I miss being able to do more things.

Dear Patti,

Most of my symptoms are digestive as well. They are the most difficult to deal with. I often fear eating or doing anything because of it. Having low blood sugar on top of this is such a cruel joke! Then add the Candida in there, and it is worse! I do have body pain, though on top of a ton of other issues.

Dear Carla,

I was good and Carlaed the chocolate chips the other day! :) Instead of eating a bunch and not being careful, I treated myself to a little of them. I let myself have a Tablespoon or so. I did not eat any more than that. I was good. You would be proud! ;)

I must say that I feel worse at various time of the day. I have been a night owl for half of my life. However, I used to be a morning person as a child. As I got older, I preferred staying up late and waking up late. Now my body is so messed up, every couple of weeks my body changes its sleeping schedule. It is like I am on swing shift or something.

Your new house sounds like it is shaping up! I am glad you got so much done! I wish I could say the same for my school work! At least I know I am not the only one having trouble getting caught up. This Finance course is a royal pain! I feel like I am going crazy! So does everyone else in our class! I am also glad the sauna will be fixed soon. You mentioned that the panel in yours was messed up.

Dear Rachel,

The information on herxes sounds like what I have read as well. The bad bugs die, and they cause you to temporarily feel worse. That is very common. It happens with yeast, too. In fact, that is actually where I heard about it first.

We are relieved to hear you will not overdo the sauna! We do not want you sicker! That would certainly set you back. I am sure your doctor will be glad, too! Let us know when it gets there!

You were talking about hallucinating odors. I do that, too! I smell bananas for some reason all the time. That is so strange! I wonder what causes that? My mom wears perfume all of the time, maybe the exposure to that is what is causing it.

Dear Judy,

I cannot believe you went to the ratemypoo.com site! :lol::P I would never go there! I suppose it is that morbid curiousity. We all have it. Just with different things!

Dear Susie,

Hello Squats With Wolves! :lol: Hey, that could be your Native American name! I cannot believe you went to that ratemypoo.com site either! :lol: I am not going there! I have absolutely no desire to see a piece of poo molded into a peace sign! I am a hippie at heart, but I have my limits! :lol: When you were talking about having to go Number 2 in the snow, I started laughing thinking about Tird Cicles! :lol: You would have frozen tirds!

I know how you feel with the monthly blues. I hate those! I have had a period off and on for over two years now! I have no idea what is the trouble. I might have fibroids or something. Who knows?

Before I was on Depo-Provera, it was regular like clockwork, but the pain would be excruciating all the way from my uterus down into my rectum. That was the first three days of my period, and I would not be able to stand up straight. I also bled like a stuffed pig. I would go through a super plus tampon in an hour. I had cysts, and had to be put on Depo for them. It is the only thing that kept them away.

I was doing fine, until about 2 years ago. That is when all of this bleeding off and on began. No one has a clue why it started. Don't you just love how doctors have so many answers? What the heck did they go to school all these years for?

Dear Bev,

I am glad you got a good laugh! That was the point! I feel even if I had a bad day, if I can make humor of it, then it is better. Yep, a friend of mine from high school started the a**cracker thing. He got into some bad stuff, and I had to end our friendship. It was sad, because I found out last year that he died. :(

You how you were talking about the full moon and the Earth, and how it effects us? That is something witches know very well. The full moon is the high tide of psychic power. Also, there are biorhythmns. They are your own personal energy levels spiritually and physically.

Dear Murph,

Thank you for the dictionary information! It is always nice to learn more! We are a silly group! Our words do not always match definitions. We kind of have our own interpretation of things! Welcome to the thread!

Dear Andrea,

I am sorry to hear things have been so difficult between you and Talitha. Hopefully the situation will improve soon.

I was a strong-willed child as well. My father and I are more alike, so he knew how to handle me better. He knew all I wanted was respect.

However, there are limits. If I was wrong, my parents did punish me. I did not respond to punishments like other children. They had to take away things I enjoyed. I was not allowed to go play outside with my friends, or watch t.v. for a week if I was being too difficult.

It sounds to me that Talitha is very sensitive, like I am and was. I had some OCD tendencies when I was young, like I could not stand to have sticky hands. There were other things that bothered me and still do. Sounds are stronger than they are to others. Some of this could be sensory overload. I also have always had a bad temper. My father and grandfather are like that as well.

Sincerely,

Jin

It's proper to use either "a" or "an" before "historic". It's more traditional to use "an" but more common today to use "a". It's because the "h" used to be silent, now we pronounce it.

Murph - from what I remember about "an" or "a" before the H (glottal sound in linguistics - - I am such a geek), that is really all about preference - but A historic is much more common. oh.....I am bugged by SO many spoken errors by newscasters, I can relate......number one being "the SierraS" - plural - when it is The Sierra.....argh! and we live right at the freakin base of it.....

thanks for the site - - you should not have told me - could spend hours there :lol: What part of the country are you in? "an historic" with the n pronounced is definitely more British.......we dont' hear it much in Central CA.

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @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
