Omg...i Might Be On To Something


Rachel--24

Recommended Posts

AndreaB Contributor

I have a minor gripe.......

I bought ground chicken breast at Wild Oats this weekend and promptly froze it. Bad enough it was from a rocky chicken, not a rosie chicken.....I just bought it to see if the children like it better than the ground turkey.....I certainly don't plan on buying it often.

Anyway, you know how they usually wrap the meat in wax paper, they put it in a plastic bag and now I've got to somewhat thaw the thing to get the bag out of the crevices. :angry: I'm not a happy camper about this....I may have to cook up something else for dinner.

Andrea--

You might have to just refrigerate the chicken overnight and make something else. Getting the bag out of the ground meat is tough--you pull on it and it just stretches until it breaks :angry:

Rachel--

Don't dampen your enthusiasm--post anything that you feel you want to share. I just pick out what pertains to me and don't worry about the rest. I figure it'll resonate with someone :D

Cause you never know what is going to strike a chord. ;)

I just want to get back to normal :lol:

I'm cooking the chicken.

I also want it back to normal.

Obviously stuff that's been posted has had an attraction because so many visitors have been here. Maybe they are looking for people that have been helped by various treatments.

Laura, It's always good to see you too.......you've been missed.

Laura,

Don't worry, we all understand! You're having to deal with so much--your job and treatments and all. Just know that you're in my thoughts and I always look forward to getting an update when you feel up to it. :)

Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! (raising hand and waving excitedly) :rolleyes:

Yay! Nice to see people!

RACHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooooo - ahhhhhhh!!!!

Well now WHAT is the world coming to???????? that doesn't make sense at all......guess I missed it because had I seen it.....would have been there, guns drawn......NOBODY messes with our Patti.

HARRUMPH! :angry:

Sheesh!

Did I read that you did your solo?

Donna....when are you doing your solo? I know you sang in front of the choir guy and that seemed to go really well. So now are you ready to "wow" everyone?? :D

Well, just in practice, and just in front of the choir director, who has, oddly enough, never heard me sing alone before. :lol: I had some people praying for me, and it worked because I wasn't nearly as nervous as I was when I did just in our little group. I do the solo for real on August 5 (whatever that Sunday is).

Ha, I'll do something alright...not sure WOW is what I'll do to them. :P:lol:

EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD IS PRETENTIOUS AND OBNOXIOUS AND PRETENDS TO KNOW MORE THAN THEY REALLY DO. YOU-ALL BLATHER ON ENDLESSLY ABOUT SILLY UNPROVEN TREATMENTS THAT WILL NEVER WORK AND JUST WASTE TIME AND MONEY. GROW THE F*** UP!!!

There, now you can all yell at me and stop sniping at each other because I think all of you need the collective knowledge that's been accumulating on this thread.

OMGOSH!!!!! :lol: Something told me that had to be a joke, but still, I held my breath through that whole first paragraph! :lol:

but when random people start attacking PATTI for no reason----then I know that something has gone horribly wrong! I definitely don't understand, but it makes me tired!

Wow, okay, that is just so wrong! I've never read an unkind word from Patti...even when she's doing her moderator thing, she is always respectful and sweet!

I DO KNOW that each and every one of you have welcomed other posters to join, but the appearance does appeal somewhat inclusive. I am certain that this was not an attempt to appear that way but other may see it differently.

While this is in the evaluation process, I thought I would post my arm chair thoughts and this is directed at no one.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to make this less so. It's like any other "group" that's been together a while...you just know each other. I recently went to a flea market with my very good friend. She invited one of HER other very good friends who I'd actually only met once--never spent any time at all with her before that. For a little while I felt slightly left out because they have a long history...but oddly enough eventually OUR history came through too. The three of us ended up having a great time.

I didn't know anyone when I joined this thread, and I was welcomed and was just assimilated, lol (kind of like the BORG of Startrek fame, lol). I wish I knew how to project that to everyone who reads this thread.

I would like to say that I am not a frequent poster on OMG, but I do read and I do learn. I am totally amazed at the information that you, all of you, offer for the common good. I admire all of you for your research and you time and dedication to offer this to others on this site. A pat on the back for all.

I most likely would have not much to offer that has not been covered. I visit to learn. I, though, could see why other may be hesitant to join in. Without personal offense, I call this the "Walton Thread" (to myself). Meaning...."hello JohnBoy, hello MaryEllen, hello Ben, hello Jason."

OMG- GOOSEY WAS IN DA HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lisa- If you see this- :wub: :wub:

MiaMia, hope the chelation goes well tomorrow, my dear!

Hi all,

How is everyone? At the library right now again. You know. Anyways I have bad news. I went to my naturopath today. More bloodwork. Yaay! Almost fainted. I always do that. I weigh 85 pounds people 85 POUNDS! I am on a strickter diet now. just squash and meat till I add one thing at a time. SOmething isn't doing right with me. THey want to put me in the hospital with IV's. My doctor said that my organs are eating themselves up. I eat but always get diarrhea.

I don't know if it is the whey protein I smell since I am ssooo sensitive. This is ridiculuous. How can someone live this way. Everyone I am scared. :( I don't know what too do no more but the doctor says if I keep losing weight I will die. She says it is mercury but something else maybe too?

Egads Lisa! I don't know what to say. :(

Is your appointment with Dr. S at the end of the week? I'm pretty sure he'll probably want you to see Anna.......the one Rachel and Donna have seen. She's the best there is for BioSET it sounds like.

diamondheart Newbie

Holy cow, I take a break for a couple of days and there's a major love fest going on :huh:.

Lots of good stuff said in the last couple of days. Christine, I loved your post. Andrea and Jin, thanks for holding down the fort. Mia, I'm grateful for your sweet heart. Rachel and Carla, good to see you back. Jestar, you crack me up!! Susie, OMG, I went trad climbing for the first time this year in Rocky National Park yesterday, and I was scared sh*tless, 250' up of crack climbing!! Needless to say, I lived to tell about it.

:wub: :wub: :wub:

Don't have time to post much now, but I just couldn't pass Lisa's post up.

Everyone I am scared. :( I don't know what too do no more but the doctor says if I keep losing weight I will die. She says it is mercury but something else maybe too?

Hi Lisa,

Hang in there girl! You've got the will to live and heal, and I know you will! I'm sending out a big (((((hug))))) your way. Really, I just wish I could be there and hold you. Sounds like you have gotten some good tips on doctors and dentists from Rachel.

I'll post on my LED experience later. I'd like to say that I have been feeling really good since my first treatment. Coincidence or not? Related to the beginning of my amalgam removals? A shift in the planets :huh: ?

Ok, can we just get back to the scienticness already :rolleyes::lol: !

:wub: Claire

From my hubby.........yeah, it was mercury that shifted. :P

Susan, Bev has called me "Goosey" for a long time and with a little bit of endearment. I can answer to that with no problem. :D

You can call me many things, but "goosey" is a fond term.

Hello everyone.

Reading the posts on here recently made me cry a little bit. not out of sadness, but out of inspiration.

I love it when we all support one another. It restores my faith in the true goodness of people.

Life is too short for arguing, there is enough conflict going on in the world around us.

I am grateful to learn from all you and I want to take part by listening and offering my support in a caring non judgmental way.

I believe in eveyone's abilities to take care of themselves, as we are all incredibly strong.

I can feel vulnerable and fearful sometimes, and you guys really do make me feel better, knowing you are here and that you understand.

LIsa

Lisa....I'm so sad for you. I wish I could do more. :(

I think you need help like right now. I know you said you werent gonna see Dr. S. on Friday and I think even if you did see him at this point he wouldnt know what to do except to run all the tests to try to find out what you're dealing with.

I think you do need some immediate help because of the weight situation. I dont think its a bad idea to be hosptilized because of the amount of weight you've lost.

I'm sure you must have infections along with the mercury so maybe it would be helpful to identify and treat some of the infections?? I dont know but just guessing that it could help. Do you know what your Dr. tested you for? I guess you never were able to do the stool test for parasites and those things?

I was also wondering if you've tried wearing a mask around things that bother you.....like in your brothers room...could you wear a mask and possible not react so badly? I sometimes wear one of those painters masks when I'm doing cleaning/dusting around the house.

I'll be praying for you.....call me if you need to talk. :wub:

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !! 
    • cristiana
      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
