The CS took a minute for me too but other than that, sounds like a quote that I will/can use when something bad happens!

Glad you got drugs to fix you problems so back to work will get more normal!!!

I don't know about anybody else, but I get "pink eye" in my right eye when I've eaten soy. It also makes my lips swell a little bit and I get this weird rash on the corners of my lips and on the bottom. It looks kinda like clown makeup! Only it's never on the top.

But the pink eye thing for me is never the viral kind. I spent an entire summer two years ago on steroids and avoiding everyone I knew b/c I thought it was pink eye, but it's an allergy for me. It's very itchy and achy and watery and I even get a bump like a stye sometimes. Ugh!

Yes, I am feeling better, thanks :)

My eyes still itch but I'm keeping on those eye drops and the impetigo is almost gone (thank God)

Not wearing eye makeup yet <_< As my mom so kindly pointed out, I look like a rat without makeup. Blonde eyelashes. Can't wait! Have to buy all new stuff, I guess.

I had one of those weekends where EVERYTHING went wrong, but can't blame that on the pink eye :rolleyes:

OH BOY, I saw this topic and cringed. Last year, in March 2005, my 1 yr old son, was was just begining to get pink eye, but we didn't know what to look for at the time. He had all the classic symptoms (that we now know). He wasn't quite rid of it when my daughter came down with it about a week in a half later amd the momms about three days later too. Then my husband another week in a half later and then of course, the momma a week 1/2 afterwards AGAIN. We took up the whole month with pink eye!

I remember this rather like it was yesterday, because when my son was just getting it, we had gotten family pictures done for our church year book and he looks awful. :) GRIN

It's contagious all right. The meds and drops did help and boy do you need to wash wash WASH with soap every time after administering and touching.

Oh, well. At least, enjoy the extra time you get not having to put on make-up, and how nice it feels to be able to wash your face whenever you want!

Who says eyelashes have to be dark, anyway? In another 50 years, the fashion trends will swing the other direction, and we'll all be dying our eyelashes blonde!

      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...

      still struggling with cravings

      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, ...

      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?

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.

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:
