Wow! How did I miss all this happening???? Thanks for the link Vincent, so I can get caught up on what's going on......

Firstly, Vincent, what can I say? You are an amazing human being and I think this is a perfect example of how God uses us mere mortals as his guardian angels to help do His work. You truly are a guardian angel. He truly does work in mysterious ways.......

My thoughts will be with this beautiful child and will be praying REALLY, REALLY strong for her......

I also have tears in my eyes just reading through the thread and realizing once again how amazing the people here are and just how much you can be counted on when the chips are down and when someone needs friends to lean on.....

God bless you all........

Hugs.

This is form her site, her sister posted this...

Just heard from Tanya, they have just taken Megan back. They had given her some medicine to make her loopy, and she was. Tanya said that they would let them know something in 1 hour - 1.5 hours after they got the IV's in; at this point they would start the procedure. It should take around 5-6 hours. I will post every time I get an update.

Tanya just called and said that they made the incision about 10 minutes ago. It took them a while to get the IV's started because of veins. But they did say that she went to sleep very peacefully. They are going to give them updates in another 1-2 hours

Hugs and deep appreciation.

Just got another call from Tanya. She said she talked to one of the nurses. The nurse said that everything was going just wonderful right now. It was one of the smoothest surgeries that they had seen. They planned on taking their time so it would be another 3-4 hours before they were done.

WOOHOO!!!!!

MEGAN UPDATE !!

TUESDAY, JULY 25, 2006 12:30 PM, CDT

Tanya called with another update: Everything is still going really they are in the process of repairing the VSD (which is the hole in the heart). They have her on the by pass machine. They still have to replace the shunt and enlarge the pulmonary arteries (not sure if this is 1 or more than 1, sorry, I just don't have any medical sense). She still has a long way to go, but thankfully, she is doing so well.

Just got word from Nashville, the surgery is over and Megan is doing really well. The cardiologist had came out and talked to Jarod and Tanya. He told them that the surgery went really well. The surgeon had just came out and said that they were able to do everything that they had wanted to do and that he was very pleased. Her oxygen saturation level was 100% (which is what normal is). Now is the wait and see process. They will have to let her body heal and get regualted. Prayers have definitely been the power source today.

They would transfer Megan up to PICU. After she got settled there, Jarod and Tanya could see her. Tanya anticipated that this should take about an hour or so.

Thanks so much to everyone for all of their prayers. I know I appreciate them for my beautiful little neice, and her parents even more so than me.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
