???who are the pilots???

Mitch has been waiting for that question Molly.

Molly,

Yes you are correct the Giants are playing the Dodgers...hope the Giants win...that's my favorite NL West team. BTW, the Pilots were the first Major League team in Seattle in 1969. They only lasted one year before moving to Milwaukee and becomeing the Brewers in 1970. But the Pilots did play the Giants during spring training of 1969 and 1970, if you would like further statistics let me know. Of course, that's when the Giants had names like Mays, McCovey, and Marichal. GO GIANTS!!! I enjoy hearing the broadcast voice of John Miller.

I'll be sure the game and the jumping competitions are both on the calendar ... man ... I'm so dizzy I'm having trouble typing!

Carla--Dizziness is most definately a TMJ disfunction symptom. It was one of my main ones--and the ENT who diagnosed me said I was a "classic case".

Since yours is now exagerated somewhat by the device you are wearing, it makes sense that your dizziness is getting worse.

I would lay down for a while, and see if that helps.

Carla,

Change your picture description. :P

Oops ... done

Thanks. I never had dizziness before from it, but it sure makes sense that messing with this joint now could be causing it. I was worried that it was yet another health issue! I'm sitting here in a comfy chair ... thank goodness for laptops with wireless internet!!!

que interestante................

I am rooting for the giants with all my heart, i am a MAJOR giants fan....... like really really obsesed, but I cant watch the game tonight (or most of it) cause it is one of my really good friends Indina singing and Dance preformance and she has been working for like 10 years on this so it is really important.

I use a night guard, and have left it at that.

My sister went the same route as you are--she had to have teeth pulled, wore the appliance, and then the braces. She had a lot of dizziness as well. It's all connected. It will lessen as time goes on :)

The night guard wasn't enough for me :( My ortho is not a believer in pulling teeth, which is why I have this appliance, to help spread my jaw so there's more room for my teeth; it also is forcing my facial muscles to hold my jaw in the right place. So, I guess with all the inflammation I probably have with these sore muscles, it must be messing with my inner ear.

I JUST got caught up with the posts (messages in my email, do you guys do that?? Man! That is a lot of emails!).

Dizziness is totally normal for new dental appliances (along with fatigue, headaches, migranes, etc) because all of those things are affected by brain related muscles. And your jaw is right there!! Do you get headaches after going to the dentist?? I do...I have to be careful, or I will get a migrane from getting my teeth cleaned!

Yay, glad you started this thread Rachel

Now we can gab and be goofy without having to add in a little scientificness :lol:

Yes, will The Dave be joining us in the "ville" sans science??

Welcome Molly :)

Carla, that makes my mouth hurt thinking about it. I had braces, twice, and head gears, mouth guards and retainers. Total pain. Hope your pain and dizziness goes away as you get straightened out :)

Thanks. I got the fatigue, too, but I'm kinda used to that and my hubby had warned me because he got it when he got his invisalign.

I'd like to propose a new addition to our vocabulary list, lol. I'd like to add pulling a Rachel........

When you find something you can eat then proceed to eat 10,000 pounds of it in 48 hours, lol. :lol::lol:

j/k ;)

Wow it was great that this forum was started. I left for a couple days and when I came back I was behind 20 pages on the OMG forum and then Mom told me the conversation was moved to the face thread. There were 8 pages on that thread that I was behind on, and I felt funny reading along that thread since it was about things that don't apply to me. After reading one of those pages, which I quite enjoyed reading I might add, I found this forum. I'm caught up on this one and hopefully it will stay that way :huh::blink:

Since I didn't read the entire OMG forum, I'm confused :blink: Where'd the purple glittery bats come from? I like them, but I don't know how they originated

Thanks. I got a new dental appliance, the next step in taking care of my TMJ and the last step before braces.

I even feel sorry for you....quite a bit actually. That thing can hardly fit in your mouth :angry: At least it's pink and glittery :D

Oh, darn! I picked out the color and everything! I could have gotten purpley glittery then hung out with the bats!!!

AndreaB Contributor

The purple glittery bats help with cross-pollenating the food stuff in the garden by flapping their wings.

They are that color because Susie is not real fond of bats and doesn't want them in her hair and I think Chelsea wanted them made them that color so they would be obvious. They are trained to stay away from Susie.

Mitch comment: In actuality, they were imported by Meredith when she discovered it was a result of a special mating season between the red bats and the blue bats. :lol: During transport on the high seas the high humidity caused such a stickiness on their bodies. Also, the glittering waters of the pristine ocean near R-ville paradise clung to them, therefore, the bats retained the glitter.

If Celia pull the Ostrich avatar, how is anyone going to know what I look like. I don't have any other photo of me and besides have not figured how to put it on here, even if I did. Her Avatar is the nearest to my looks as any that have been here. I am skinny like the bird, gray hair, real short gray hair, and when I am playful, I can spike it like the bird. My beak is not as pronounced as this bird, but all in all, I am the bird. Of course I wear red lipstick. :blink:

Ummm...I think The Dave is still wandering around the OMG thread. He is lost... :lol:

No doubt he is finding more things to torment me about.....still havent heard the end of the alien baby business. :rolleyes:

Now I will be hearing about orange pee jugs and how its not cool to store them in the yogurt cooler at work. :lol:

Andrea - messed up my quoting - - - yes, absolutely, the purple glittery bats are not to come near me.....but I"m re-thinking this....purple glittery bats do not scary me...ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha poor Dave - - he must be so confused....

Rachel - call me when you're 45 - - :P Face is not falling off currently - have stopped the cream - - the madness, however, continues.....over on that thread you can read about me peeing outside in 5 degree weather (we were snowed in for a week in Montana) and crazy stuff....too much....

May I say that I've been pulling a Rachel for even longer than I've known Rachel....holy Lord.....the bad thing is, just doens't slide right through me any more..... :ph34r: put on 15 pounds IMMEDIATELY after removing gluten - lost 5 - holding steady - - but WHY do I want to eat the entire bag of stuff now? :huh: Where is this coming from? is it our limits on cars?

help....hold me............. am scared....................... :lol::lol::lol:

you know what's really crazy now.....I don't know what I'm posting to whom and where any more......forgive me if I repeat or sound......delirious.... :lol:

Looking good Molly! Did you get a haircut? I love it!

I'm just passing through Rachelville, I didn't see anything about Moms of gluten-free boys being allowed.

Also, what is Auxigro?

You're allowed, you just have to go through decontamination if you'ver been eating gluten.

A little scientificness to explain....please pardon the break.

Auxigro is something sprayed and conventional and organic crops that is 30% msg. Some people are extremely sensitive and find that they can't eat a lot of produce.

Debmidge....I can't create a job if I don't know your interests/skills. Name would be nice unless you don't want to share (please forgive me if it's in your sig....I will go look).

2boys4me....same thing if you would like a job.

      First of all, being able to return to foods that you have developed a sensitivity to in connection with celiac disease is not a given. You may or may not be able to do this with time. But the ability to do so seems to be connected with the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel which often takes 2-3 years in adults after attaining to consistently truly gluten free diet. But you will just have to test the waters. Experimentation with those foods is the only way. Realize also there are thresholds of tolerance. You may be able to consume those foods without issue but not as often and in lesser amounts than in your pre celiac days. So, start small and go slow.

      Welcome to the forum, @Waterdance! Constipation and diarrhea are classic celiac symptoms and hemorrhoids is usually the outworking of either or both of those two problems. But I'm curious about your statement, "I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease." Perhaps your understanding of what that encompasses is outdated and deficient, as is also true of many physicians. Actually, now there are over 200 symptoms and medical conditions that have come to be associated with celiac disease and the list keeps growing.  And you use the term "gluten intolerance". What does that mean to you? Actually, gluten intolerance is a catch all term referring to two different gluten disorders: celiac disease and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by ingested gluten triggering the immune system to attack the lining of the small bowel. NCGA or just, gluten sensitivity, for short, is a reaction to gluten that is not autoimmune in nature (neither is it an allergic reaction per se) but it's symptoms overlap with that of celiac disease. We actually don't know a lot about NCGS yet but some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease and it is 10x more common that celiac disease.  There are some blood antibody tests that are pretty specific to celiac disease but they require that you have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months prior the blood draw. Having the blood draw done while being gluten free or even having been on a reduced gluten diet will invalidate the testing. There was a recent article posted in this forum about testing being developed that did not require breaking a gluten fast but it is not available yet. When and if it is, that will be a giant breakthrough because so many people experiment with the gluten free diet before they ever get tested and can't safely utilize the "gluten challenge" because their reactions are too severe. So, they can't distinguish whether they have NCGS or celiac disease and must live with the ambiquity.  There are also some people who react negatively to all cereal grains. You may be one of them. Technically speaking, gluten is found only in wheat, barley rye, and some cultivars of oats. But all cereal grains contain proteins that more or less are similar to gluten and, apparently, similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some people.  Have you experimented with non-cereal alternative grains like buck wheat or sorghum? Can you substitute potatoes for grains to get calories? Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)/histamine intolerance? This could also explain the problems you are having. You are not going to want to hear this because you will feel like you are starving but the Auto Immune Protocol Diet will probably make you feel a lot better.

      Hello everyone.  For those of you that I’ve had a sensitivity develop to eggs and dairy (one or both) I am wondering for those who were able to go back to eating these things how did you discover that it was all right? I have a sensitivity to both, but I really miss eggs and I really miss dairy but I’m afraid to try them again so I’m wondering what others have done. Thank you

      Hi and thanks for this place to ask questions. I have been diagnosed with a gluten and milk allergy but so far I have no Celiac diagnosis and honestly I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease. I've come here because I'm having problems and you all would be knowledgeable about gluten free diets.   An allergist diagnosed me with a gluten and milk allergy about 15 years ago but she said "if you eat a lot of it, don't worry about it." This haunted me because I did not eat a lot of it but it was in my diet. Going 100% gluten free was daunting so I struggled with lowering my intake and observing results when adding it back. Due to aging, I think, the problem is worse now. I know ingesting gluten almost immediately causes a hemorrhoid flare up. It's very painful and I have severe chronic issues with it and even one surgery which did not solve much and the problem came back with vengeance. I know from my own experiments that I can build a tolerance to gluten in my diet but overall if I want to avoid chronic pain and discomfort I should just eliminate it entirely.   When it comes to my diet, I found not only gluten to be problematic but all grains! This is terrifying to me. Keeping a grain free diet was difficult and left me hungry all the time.   My question for you all is do you have any tips to help me live on a grain free diet sustainably long term? And Do any of you know of or heard of hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea being main symptoms to gluten intolerance?
