Rachel, I'm sorry. I posted that last post re: compounding your meds - and then saw that I was replying to a message from 2006! Feeling a little silly right now...

Katie

No problem. :)

I did have my thyroid meds compounded for awhile back then...but I dont really have a problem with corn so thats not really an issue now. It was costing too much money to continue getting them compounded and it didnt make any difference as far as my health problems....so now I just take the regular stuff. ;)

Rachel, Have you started your detox foot pads yet. I was going to order the ones you posted, but had no idea which ones to get lol.

No...I have them but I dont plan on trying them in the near future. I'm gonna work on one thing at a time so for now I just wanna get my copper levels down and some of my other minerals up. My copper/zinc ratio is not good.

I stayed home from work again...seems like I'm almost back to normal except for my voice. I was talking fine but then I end up on the phone for hours and my voice starts going again. :ph34r:

I think tomorrow I should be mostly over it and back at work.

yeah rachel about the selenium. It helps keep mercury from getting to much in the blood. But don't rachel it because I believer too much selenium makes arsenic. I need to get more I just ran out.

Arsenic?? :blink:

I definately dont want anymore of that. The arsenic showed up in all my urine tests as well as the red blood cell test I just had done.

Yeah...you definately dont wanna rachel selenium. I think it can become pretty toxic if it gets high. I think it can also move mercury to the brain.

Are you tolerating supplements pretty well these days?

I dont blame you there. Working on the copper levels are more important.

I have an appointment with Dr. S today...hoping he'll let me do a provoked challenge for metals!!! Pray, okay! :lol: I'll have my "report" from Anna as to which chelation agents I tested well for, so I'm hoping he'll see that I can handle some of them! [ETA: shoot, just remembered I left the stupid thing at home...oh wait...Anna emailed it to me...okay off to see if I still have the email, lol.]

Rachel, I'm sorry. I posted that last post re: compounding your meds - and then saw that I was replying to a message from 2006! Feeling a little silly right now...

Yep, as someone says, it happens at least once a month! Stick around and post with us!

I finally looked over the symptom list, have been avoiding it, I have 63 of the 75 symptoms :o

Wow, I thought my 47 was bad, lol!!!

Yeah, something tells me that even though I'm bigger, Rachel could take me! :lol: :lol: :lol:

(Although, me thinks I could possible get as far as the door with the phone) :lol: :lol:

Rachel, my throat was very sore like that with this, too. Now Morgan has it. :huh:

Yeah, mine was really sore too, but that only lasted a couple of days...still the throat felt raw (but not enough to be very bothersome) almost the whole 3 weeks I had the thing.

Speaking of that evil cold/flu thing...I've been having pain in my shoulder blade area since then. Remember when I said the evil cough caused a pulled muscle in my chest and head...well, apparently I popped a rib. I've been seeing the physical therapist/chiropractor three times a week since I was sick to try to work out the pain...one of the chiropractors said I had a disc out...she adjusted me and it was fine...yesterday it was out again and another of the chiropractors said I popped a rib.

So be careful out there girls, lol. If you get sharp pain when coughing, go get that checked, lol.

About the selenium, we know about it on the thyroid forums. It lowers thyroid antibodies, both those for hashimotos and graves disease. The max amount is 200

HAve a great appt Donna, I'm looking forward to hearing about how it went and what's next on the agenda for you :lol:

I know, I am a little concerned about the 63 out of 75 symptoms :unsure: .

Yikes about the popped rib, hope the chiropractor can help you with that.

Well, I couldn't find the email...I know I have the attachment saved at home, but apparently not at work. BUT, fortunately I have this thread, lol. I found my post from March in which I listed the amounts of the various things. Dr. S should have a copy (Anna faxed it to him) but just in case I wanted to have something in my hand, lol.

Nyxie,

I'm a day or so late on this, but glad you popped in. I have been following your updates on MS, sounds like you have had some challenging days and a few better ones. Wishing you well!

Carla,

Why did I think you were in Mexico?!?! For some reason that stood out in my mind....

Do either of you, or anyone have a link with a brief summary/overview of chronic lyme disease??

I'm not sure if Carla posted some of those on the Lyme Disease thread or not. Have you ventured over there before? I'm pretty sure she posted some links but they may be ones you are already familiar with.

I saw the symptom list in the first couple of posts, I'm looking more for a explanation more so I guess.

I haven't totally embraced the lyme, I have been in denial so I haven't visited the thread much :lol:

I did regular yoga (not the HOT class) on Monday and I have been SOOOOO tired ever since! Its that tired you just can't shake...I don't have time to be tired :angry:

I guess I will need to start with the easier class and work up.

I am thinking I need to get some selenium!

Donna, My ribs come out of whack sometimes too. I have to get them adjusted. It makes the middle of my back hurt - very annoying!

Paula,

I am glad the mold problem wasn't as bad as you thought! I had that happen to me recently.

Julie,

That is awful you have so many symptoms! Maybe by treating the lyme you will cure the angioedema??

Hi April, how have things been with your health and your daughters?

Sounds like your adrenals (with the hot yoga). Try a regular class, without the hot, and see what happens. I have terribly burnt out adrenals but I can do regular yoga ok, it actually regenerates me. The temp might be too draining for you.

I am hoping my angioedema will go away with treatment, crossing fingers.

Yeah, that's just about where I was hurting...but it was slight off towards the right shoulder blade area.

Thanks Donna Joy :D:D

:lol: You're welcome Julie Marie. :lol:

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By trents · Posted

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
