A nickname of mouse.........with a bird for a picture. I do believe that the bird looks like it could eat a mouse......however not sure that emu's/ostriches do that. Hummm

Karen - I'm so sorry the news wasn't as good as you'd hoped, but I'm thinking this HAS to be the beginning of the healing process...now you know (at least) why you've been having such a bad time. {{{{hugs}}}}

Karen, I'm so sorry about your scope, but I hope the H Pylori is found to be the cause of your ulcers since that is quite easy to remedy. I'm glad you made it home alive driving yourself-- after the anesthesia-- yipes!

Terry better have a REALLY nice present for you when he gets home!

Karen,

Sorry to hear about the tests. I hope you are feeling better soon. Things always have to turn around at some point.

My prayers are with you.

Well, sorry for the drive by posting, but work is very hectic today, and I am feeling like garbage. I do not wait very well, and I have been waiting for news of Greenland forever! :rolleyes:

Sometimes I think the military peoples like to keep us all waiting for grins.

Talk to you all soon.

Yes Donna, I had to take the goofy bird as I like how that funny thing makes me smile. When I picked mouse, I had no idea that I would end up being an ostrich - he he. Celia did my avatar. Did not want to lose the ostrich and Celia's photo is so pretty.

And yes it is goofy to have mouse for a user name and an ostrich for an avatar. But, nobody said I was all there in the marble dept.

You sound like you're on pins and needles waiting for news of Greenland--I really hope the news is good, and that you hear something soon! Feel better :)

I'm jealous! I would love someone to re-do my closet for me. I tend to keep everything--long after a sane person would toss them. :ph34r: The house sounds like it's really coming along, Susan--can't wait to see those pictures :D

Karen, I'm saying a prayer for you. :(:)

Hi guys.

No villi present. Numerous ulcers in the stomach. He has started me on Losec for those and has taken biopsies including biopsying the ulcers to check for H Pylori. Will find out next week.

I know I was a very, very bad girl today driving myself back. Terry is working with my brother this week and my sister was down in Ithaca taking Joanna back to Cornell and Mom was watching the kids for me, so there were no other options.....

Hope all is well with everyone else. Oh, I left a card downstairs in the basement on Terry's chair so he would get it when he went to watch TV after the kids were asleep. I of course went to bed early as I had to get up early. So this morning, before I left, he gave me a kiss on the cheek, hug, said Happy Anniversary and the old "Oops, I forgot......" <_< quote

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO KAREN... :):P:D:o

: :D So sorry with your dx but now you know what is wrong, you and your dr. can attack the problem and cure it!! :) My hubby want thru that years ago, also our middle dd. they are both fine now and I have read that most ulcers are caused by bacteria or some such thing. Have not heard of that med but so many new ones out..must be good!! See you on when things are better for you.. }}hugs for you{{ :) evie

AndreaB Contributor

Yes, Celia, Love the picture. Did you have that one up before?

Susan,

You're house guests and trade sound great.....of course I like the piano. :D

I, too, am waiting for pictures.

Karen,

I hope you are doing better today. HUGS

Ryan,

I hope you hear soon, we are all here for you between this thread and the Rachelville 2 thread. Some new workers in town. We are still waiting for a picture. Picard, who is now Jean-Luc, posted a picture yesterday I think it was.

Patti,

Possible ebay stuff once you start cleaning/clearing out stuff. There was a lot of stuff that I got rid of that I could have sold before I knew ebay existed.

RYAN! yay! our first male! you are very brave indeed adn so very nice to see you here. I did erase some earlier posts :ph34r: in case anything doesnt' make sense....I am too much of a goof......

sorry you're not well......and the waiting....I went through that with so many friends at Naval Postgraduate School and DLI in Monterey - - I was always so sad, too, as so many dear friends came adn went, were there for only 2 to 3 years....but, the good news is, I have many places to stay all over the globe, and some even have free tickets for me.....sigh. Travel seems difficult now.....

andrea - the piano mocks me from the corner.... :angry: we are no longer friends, for years I practiced three to five hours a day.....so much work....decided I am not a naturally gifted pianist and gave it up...BUT, my father bought it for me from his deathbed - unbelievable - - but my best friend wants it badly and she can have it for a few years.....I will buy it back from her someday. She is like the sister I never had, so, no problems there - and her kids can play it......

Patti - - is your room finished? saw you on the OMG thread - - so sorry you're not feeling well - - and yes, you might be exhausted? my thought is that your diet is too repetitive - - but WHAT do I know?? :blink:

see you - - must walk the dingos - dang, teenagers sleep forever, don't they....ha ha ha

Susan, I know how you feel about the piano. When I was getting ready to move to a smaller space, I pretty much decided I would have to sell the pretty piano that SAT in the living room. Then my pastor said the church piano was gone due to a flood so I told him to come and get it. It brings me much joy hearing it played more often now :D

Lee - that is so lovely. It is really good when they go to a good spot, how wonderful, in your church! I almost sold my piano to a stranger...but feel very good about where it is going. and, I can get it back....if I ever have money. which I think someday, I will. ;) this piano has been moved about.....six or seven times in 18 years and it is tired...... :huh:

Susie, great arrangement for the piano. This way it will stay in the family, your friends can enjoy it in the meantime and it will find it's way back to you down the line. A very special piano it is :)

Susan--

Yep, the bedroom/bathroom is all finished! I took some pictures yesterday--as soon as my son helps me get them on the computer, I can get them to whoever wants to see them.

You are probably right about eating the same things every day. I'm sensitive to so much, that I don't really have a lot to choose from! I do rotate meats, flip flop sweet and white potatoes, do different veggies, etc.

I'm not really feeling all that bad--not exhausted. Just getting a bit sick of this touchy stomach of mine :lol:

I know what you mean about the touchy stomach, mine just seems to rebel after I eat (whatever I eat). May need to take extra enzymes or maybe new ones not working good, better do some trials...was doing better so this is disappointing. So glad you are up to painting bedroom and bath, how nice!! :)

For those of you with pianos going to new homes..I feel for you. I played elec. organ for many years..played a bit for church but after athritis entered my arms I sold it 1 &1/2 years ago. I still have a very small keyboard to use if I YEARN but that is not very often, can also hear tapes of practice sessions. It went to a home where each of 3 sisters had their own organ...sounds great!! :) We also had an old piano that came from hubbies gr. mother, gave it to our church when I got my organ (no room for both) and when we had the basement open to elements as we built new walls + added on to basement and foyer it was ruined...it was junk. <_< ...would love to see some of your pics.. will pm my email to you!! :)

Just my lazy day...should get some work done, like ironing but just lazy :blink: Need to get some cleaning done, expecting family here next month for a late ann. for hubby and I. thinking about making that great coconut cake for family to try beides the glutened cake daughters will get. Our youngest dd from wyo. + hubby + bl. lab dog will be here/ 5th wheel for a few days mid month We will get together on my 68th BD and also celebrate several etc BD's whether all will be here or not. when families get so stretched out over many states it is hard to get many here!! we will enjoy the ones who do make it and maybe the others wil call!! :):)

I am going to get my ironing done..even if I hate to iron. :( love to all) evie

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Evie :)

Nice to see you!

I don't like to iron, either and avoid it whenever possible!

Definately PM me your email--I'll get the pictures out as soon as my son shows me how to get them from the camera to the computer!

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @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

      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 .
