I lived in Japan for a couple fo years while in the Navy. Spent some time in the Phillipines :rolleyes: ; Korea ;) , Oz :D to name a few. I have travelled to Ireland, England and various islands in the Caribbien. if down in Oz, try to get over to New Zealand and/or New Caledonia. I really like New Cal beautiful place, not too many tourists mainly Aussies, Japanese and a few French. Lots of diving and a good casino.

Thanks for the tip. I just looked up New Caledonia and it sounds like a beautiful place. I spent a week in New Zealand once but that was not long enough. I think I need to go there too :D

Good luck with your appointment Rachel! I like your idea. If your doctor questions anything you say just tell him/her that you're getting all your medical advice from Floridian, JerseyAngel, Mango, Vyderscope etc. etc. and I'm sure he/she will take you seriously after that :lol:

Yeah...I might not even go to my appt. cuz what do I need a doctor for anyway? :lol:

Funny you say that, there was an article I was reading that says that hormons play a huge part in alcohol tolerance, that's why most women can't drink as much as men... I'll have to try to find that article.

What does that mean? I'm full of male hormones?? :huh:

BTW Vincent you'll have to share your recipe for making Kalhua (sp?) in case I ever get better enough to drink it. I LOVE that stuff....white russians were one of my favorite drinks. I like the sweet stuff....either that or beer. You wont see me drinking any of the hard stuff...Tequila makes me want to puke. Could be that I over did it once as a teen though. Never liked it since. <_<

I will leave no stone unturned! If theres even a remote chance by some freaky coincidence that those cysts have something to do with my allergies....well, I want them gone. B)

Yep--I agree that I'd do almost anything to figure this all out. I have to have another ultrasound in 5-6 months, and I plan on talking seriuosly about having my cysts and fibroid removed. Just scared she'll end up wanting me to have a hysterectomy.

Don't they want you to go on hormones after a hysterectomy? I wouldn't want that either.

Andrea, That is exactly what I don't want. I want to keep all my own "parts"--just the stuff that's not supposed to be there taken off. Does that make sense?

Makes perfectly good sense to me. As much as I hate the monthly cycle I would like to keep all my parts too...unless they turn cancerous on me or something.

I had an enlarged thyroid before my last pregnancy along with elevated AST and ALT. Had all sorts of bloodwork done..they chalked it up to fatty liver since they couldn't figure anything else out. Levels were normal again last year (Sept). Wouldn't surprise me if it was soy or gluten that increased them. Maybe the pregnancy just threw everything off because I was consuming tons of soy and/or gluten products during my pregnancy. The only vegan one I had, he also scored lowest on the apgar compared to the other two. My daughter was a lacto-ovo preg and scored 9, my oldest son was an ovo preg (I ate about 8 eggs per week) and he scored 10, my youngest son as I said was a vegan preg and he scored 8 at five minutes. Anyone want to try and figure that out. I could always have another one with a meat eating diet and see what the apgar is. :P Much as I love babies, I'm getting to old, my parents would kill me (almost did with my third :P ) and the doctors wouldn't be too happy. I've already had 3 c-sections. My daughter was breech, partial separation of the placenta and undergoing stress with prelabor so I had no choice with her and didn't want to take the chance with a VBAC. They considered me high risk as it was because of my age I think. Don't know why...I think that is old school thought. Unless it was because it was going to be my 3rd section. No problems for me whatsoever with any of the surgeries and recoveries aside from overdoing it with my oldest son.

Andrea,

My grandmother had her 7th child when she was 47, she had this one (my mother) at home and natural as with all the rest of her children. I come from a long line of baby makers :P

WHAT???? so there is still hope for me? (44 years old)

Now that I'm gluten-free and not drinking, I think that my, um, selection process for dating candidates will be MUCH healthier than before...... :rolleyes: but I had totally ruled out having children....problem is, I really want grandchildren!! :blink:

Never give up. Sarah was 90. :P

You could also adopt if nothing else...I know it's not the same as having your own, but still a precious child.

Be a girl scout leader/somehow involved in a boy scout pack/lead for campfire/YMCA...

Personally, I have 12 little girls, all 9-10 years old :blink:

Just me, but my girl scout leader was at my graduation and was invited to my wedding. Instant kids without all the trouble of childbirth and diaper changing :P

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By Name · Posted

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
