:) Judy, so glad to hear you are better! I know you want to do everything now, but as fiddle faddle said, Don't overdo !! I am a gardener too and it drives me crazy when I can't get out to do anything, but please, go slow--especially in this horrible humidity. We are having the same weather as you are and it is miserable out there. Let the weeds live awhile!! Just be happy mermaid in the pool and get well. My Grandma always said, "The work will wait for you, housework is patient that way" .

Beverly--Good news on Kurt--Continuing to pray for his complete recovery

Armetta---How are you doing ? You are a quiet one and I get the feeling you are a type to poo-poo your own problems and suffer in silence. You are in my prayers too.

Have a good night everyone.

Hi

Thanks for the support friends. Apt went well I'm just so exhausted. got home after 3 hrs of running to chiro and drug store, leg hurt so took of ace that the assistant put on with gause pad in places that are deformed do to tumor. There were about 4 horrid deep dents so no wonder it was painful. We both thought it would be the way to wrap it. Gave me phone #'s of more alternative kinds of compression options..all to be reseached my me...about 10 phone calls and then went to bed for 3 hrs

So no answers but alot of options one being the MLD and called about that

Good news can start swimming on Monday again.

what to do for compression till Mon..who knows...??? :blink:

too tired to eat and Jim is cooking something for himself. thank god he's independent. I just don't want to eat + it's so hot and humid here.

So all is good and cellulitius is gone but Lumphedemea is here for sure for life. Maybe the reality of living with this is hitting me on top of knowing i need the tumors out. Oh Bernese, he said he knew that the tumors were not the cause of this..or poor cirrculation..so got all questions answered but just the options to figure out.

thanks

judy

Judy-

Glad the appt is done and that you got some answers. Knowing is the 1st step. Time to start researching lymphedema? We'll be here for you as you continue to walk through these things....

Hi Judy- glad that appt went relatively well. You must be SO tired. Big hugs, Beverly

PS Kurt had an echocardiogram today which showed his heart is perfectly normal- no clots, congenital defects, artery problems. Still waiting for blood test results, but relieved. Thanks for asking sweets.....

Beverly-

That's really great news... Is he feeling a lot better now?

Judy, so glad the cellulitis is no longer a problem, but sorry the tumors are. You're still in my prayers. Hopefully getting back to some form of normalacy will help. It seems I spend most of my days on the phone with drs, pharmacists, nurses, and nutrtionists. It will eat the day in a hurry. I hope you can figure out the compression thing soon. How high up do the stockings come? I wonder if you got some that came on up your thigh if it would be better. What about wearing support hose underneath the ace or the compression stockings? It might help with swelling around the stockings. NOT the most comfortable, I know, but might be worth trying for a day.

Hugs,

Tanya

beverly - go glad to hear the good news!

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
