I had my appt. with Dr. P....I totally like him so far!! :D

Wow, sounds like a GREAT appointment. That's it...after I find out about the ampulla thing, I'll start thinking about seeing Dr. P! :lol: Also VERY interested in the voodoo lady! :lol:

On a side note, I'm really excited about these NAET treatments I'm having done. I am feeling better...having about a decent day at least once a week. She told me to slow down and NOT go overboard on the decent days because I have no "reserve" and it will be self defeating.

Yay!!!! Yes, and listen to her!!! This is what we were talking about a couple of days ago...it's easy to overdo when we feel good.

Speaking of pins (and needles) LOL, I have been sewing like crazy...made a dress for one of my daughter's bridesmaids...to see if my daughter likes it for the wedding. She hasn't seen it yet, but I think it looks great.

Wow, you are very talented!!!

What's a voodoo lady? Is she a healer or something?

Nah, someone who is more alternative. It's our little nickname for someone who does testing/treatment outside of the mainstream. BioSET or ART is considered voodoo by most people, lol.

I can't wait to be telling you all about the fun stuff I will be doing...SOON! :):D

Kassandra,

I am so glad that the NAET treatments are working for you! Hope you can get that bleeding under control.

April-

I wondered about that...but i don't know. I get thyroid hormone toxicity...it's not an allergic reaction, it's like an overdose and only when I take T3.

I know of a place that does NAET. I will call and ask them.

Thanks for the idea-

Nancy (nanjkay)

Does it have to be filtered through the liver? I know the liver has to filter a lot of hormones and if its blocked then the hormones build up in the body causing toxicity.

I wonder if Naet or acupuncture would help with this. Sounds like you and Rachel are similar.

I loved Music and Lyrics also, mainly because Hugh Grant can do NO wrong in my book.

I totally agree with you about Hugh Grant Nancy!

That is so cool you are a movie critic for your newspaper. I LOVE watching movies too, having every movie channel on cable helps the cause :lol:

But I am a real Star Wars freak. I'll watch anything Star Wars. I don't care if it's good or not. And I will go see Attack of the Clones. :D

I know I'm a nerd.

:lol: Lisa, you're not a nerd!

I loved the older Star Wars movies. I haven't watched the new generation stuff though, can you believe that? Is it as good as the older ones?

I went to the gyno today and of course my pain was gone! LOL! :lol: She said if I had gone in yesterday she would have given me a shot of a narcotic to help...since nothing was helping.

On a side note, I'm really excited about these NAET treatments I'm having done. I am feeling better...having about a decent day at least once a week. She told me to slow down and NOT go overboard on the decent days because I have no "reserve" and it will be self defeating.

But it's amazing to have days where I don't feel like I'm dying. :) I don't feel great, but definitely some improvement. :D

Just wanted to report some happy stuff along with all the other crazy stuff that's going on for me.

Kassandra, good to hear from you!! I have been thinking about you, hoping you have been ok :wub:

I'm so happy the NAET treatments are making a difference for you, and I'm glad the cramping pain is gone.

Ditto on how amazing you are!!!!! Keep hanging in there :)

Everyone, I am starting to feel like a pincushion I am taking so many shots. Lets see, its up to 13 a week I think.

Sherry, you are so brave! Just the thought of needles and being stuck makes my veins hide :lol:

That's so neat you are making the bridesmaid dresses for your daughter's wedding :)

Hubby starts an 11 day vacation. Im hoping to keep feeling good so we can do soemthing on this vacation, unlike last vacation lol

I hope you have some good days so you can do something fun while your hubby is on vacation Paula :)

I forgot to mention that he wanted to do an iodine test. Anyone familiar with that??

I did an iodine test years ago Rachel, I painted iodine on a body part (like the top of my foot or abdomen in a 4 inch by 4 inch square I think) and if it absorbed quickly it meant you were deficient in iodine...something like that.

But I don't think that is the type of iodine test you are talking about.

I started Enula last night. 1 drop 2 times a day, then I move up from there.

Yay April. How do you feel so far?? Probably too early to tell :lol:

And Carla- did you ever ask Dr. H if it was OK to take ALA with Mepron?

Carla- do you think removing the bartonella from the GI has rid you of your food intolerances?

I did not ask because the PA specifically told me to keep taking the ALA at the same appt. she prescribed the Mepron.

I think the bart treatment was one piece of the puzzle, but I think that the parasites were an even bigger piece.

I did see the new Batman and I thought it was too long and I didn't care about the characters or what happened to them. The action was good, but it was too depressing. I liked Iron Man much better. I can't wait to see Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.

Nancy

I was beginning to think I was the only one out there who didn't like Batman. I loved the last one. This one considered the Joker to be the comedic relief, which though the performance was excellent, it was too intense to be the comedic relief for the movie. It was too dark.

I loved Iron Man .... and Hancock.

She told me to slow down and NOT go overboard on the decent days because I have no "reserve" and it will be self defeating.

But it's amazing to have days where I don't feel like I'm dying. :) I don't feel great, but definitely some improvement. :D

I'm glad you're making progress. I know what you mean about these days .... It was hard to lay down and rest when I was feeling good, but I forced myself so that I could use some of that energy for healing.

Oh...about the one-fingered typing. I think I type just as fast as you guys...AND I still have a free hand! :P

No way. I type very fast, without looking. You can't move your one finger around the keyboard as fast as I can type. We will have to have a typing contest sometime. :lol:

I hope the Lyme isn't binding the metals for you. Sounds like a great doc.

Completely off topic....

I'm just sitting here watching a VERY greedy squirrel hanging off my neighbors hanging bird feeder eating all the bird seed. Two birds just tried to land and the darned squirrel just ran them off. He's discovered that the top comes off and almost fell inside. :lol:

Birds are lining up on the roof waiting for the thing to get off, but nope, dang squirrell is going to clean that feeder out of every single seed. :lol::P

Did you know squirrels can eat upside down! :lol:

Oooopps he just jumped off....small bird jumped on. :P

Does anybody know what causes those little tiny blood blister looking things all over the body? They are just little tiny raised bumps that are bright red like blood......

Have we talked about these before? I don't even know what I would look for in a search.

Mercury.

According to my dentist, it's where mercury blocked a vessel and a way around was made.....something like that anyway.

I can follow trails of them on me and hubby has them too.

Donna,

Squirrels are definately pigs and love bird seed! We had an open feeder that one would climb in and gorge on......that was many years ago......like 10-12 years ago.

Mine were caused by bartonella. They're called petechiae.

I don't think the raised ones are petachae...I've got both. One doctor said the raised ones where cherry angiosomething....nothing serious. Now, she was a regular duck and I fired her eventually, so while I believe they are nothing serious, I do think they have a cause...just don't know what they are. I also have petachae (sp??)...those are not raised but look just like a spot of blood...sort of like you were pricked by a tiny pin.

I have some bookmarks at work...I'll see if I can remember some and post in a minute.

I think Bartonella causes tiny red blisters.

EDIT: I see Carla already mentioned this. :)

I have two of them. One on my breast and one on my leg...only slightly raised. I dont get additional ones....just the same two I've had for most of the time I've been sick.

For some reason at times they will appear to be a brighter red.

I have no idea what caused them....but I'm fairly certain its not Bart.

Yeah, I've got lots and lots of both kinds...raised and not raised. Fortunately for me the unraised ones are really really small so barely show up. The raised ones are mostly on my chest/abdomen and a couple on my legs.

Mine doesnt sound like either of those.

Its never gotten larger like the cherry angioma...and it doesnt look like the pic.

It also doesnt disappear....its always there...the only thing that changes is that sometimes its brighter.

Thats actually what mine look like. There's only two though....they're both real small like in the pic.

I've had these same two for years now. What could it be? :unsure:

Yep, the picture is what mine look like to, with the exception of one which is raised. My dentist says they are caused by mercury. He has a lot of them.

Yay April. How do you feel so far?? Probably too early to tell :lol:

I don't think the new ones are as good. But it could be nastalgia. I went to all the star wars movies with my dad. I was a kid and it seemed like such a "big" kid movie for some reason.

I feel fine - nothing wierd yet!

I was told those are cherry angioma's. Sort of like a capillary that bursts at the skin.

I have some on my chest area.

Mercury.

Could be that too. I never had any until I became overloaded with toxins.

Mine look more like the Petechie. I got mine when I was most toxic and my lymph system was really blocked.

April, I got mine when I was most toxic too. All of a sudden I got two red dots...out of nowhere...and it loooks like I'm stuck with them now. :rolleyes:

This reminds me...and I dont know if I mentioned it yet??

Remember the vein that got damaged during one of my mineral IV's. It was really swollen, hard and discolored...and the nurses said it would probably stay that way.

Well guess what...its totally healed. :D

Its been healed for awhile now and there is no sign of it at all...I cant even feel it anymore....its totally disappeared. :)

Try petechia, plural petechiae.... I see you got a lot of answers already.

I have some of these too.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
