oh you guys....House of Terror is an awful, awful story...don't want to take over this thread....actually would require more like a book to tell what happened and how it changed my life - no, changed ME forever - and not in good ways.

(edited - I posted about it and then TOOK IT OFF!!! it's Bev's thread!!) :)

Yes -Bev - puppies, bounding through the snow!! that's what you need!

We could start a new thread called House of Terrors. really. But it's not MY thread...this is a community Dingo chick!!!! Vent away (unless of course it's something you'd rather forget!).........

Puppies (gluten-free like Patti's kitty) bounding through my backyard and kissing my face........ :D:D:D

Oh, you should have left it ... I should have quoted it sooner!! I did read it.

There's a haunted house around the corner from mine. A lady I know lived there for a while because it was the only vacant house in town when they move here (wonder why!). She has all kinds of stories. A man murdered his wife there, she haunts it, but just seems to like living there. A restaurant tried to move in, but closed down. Now there's a tea shop there. My son worked there all summer and nothing happened. I think this Victorian lady might like the fact that there's a tea shop in her old house, but she definately didn't like my friend's cat. :blink:

As for the puppies ... I think they're much more work than kids!! All the dogs we've ever had were a total pain in the neck!! Not that I don't like dogs ... I think pets are good. I have birds ... they like to cuddle, but they're noisy and messy.

Well......MY House of TError was a terrible thing (Carla - you read it! :ph34r: ) and resulted in what we fondly know as Susie's Nervous Breakdown. Not kidding....it was the most difficult thing I've ever lived through and while I can easily talk about it, not everyone really knows how to process or deal with someone's nervous breakdown.....but I have pondered starting a perky little thread on the forum called:

"Nervous Breakdowns - Who Here Has Had One? Let's Share Our Experiences!" :) ha ha ha - didn't think it would elicit too many responses - - I am being playful here but it was beyond horrendous and I dont' think I'll ever be the same...need nothing short of a miracle for that.

As for puppies, yes Carla, so much work...but there is a book I got when I got Tika, she was 9 weeks - it's called The Art of Raising A Puppy, written by the Monks of New Skete, who raise champion German Shepards. Best book I've ever read on selecting/raising/training/care of dogs - both my dogs were house-trained within three days, and have pretty impecable manners. Took TONS of work with my older girl - she was the most wickedly playful and strong-willed dog for the first few years, anyone else would have given her away.....

Sorry Beverly that so many difficult things are going on with the people in your life and around you. You've had your fair share as well.

Susie, house of terror and nervous breakdowns? I must have missed that thread :lol:

As for puppies, I am going back and forth on getting another one. I lost mine (my 11 year old puppy :lol:) a year and a half ago and it was so hard.

Susan, I did read it, but you didn't give much detail other than you felt every minute like you would feel if a man wearing a hockey mask and had a knife was hovering over your bed. It was like a teaser really ... I expected, tune in next week for the rest of the story!

I haven't been on in awhile and my account got deleted. But I'm baccckkk!

I just need to vent here. I just can't believe some of the things that people I know and care about are going through right now. We found this week that my good friend and old neighbor has such a rare form of blood cancer that there is NO name for it????????????WTF?????????????? It has spread to his lungs, stomach, colon and liver but since it's this unknown type of blood cancer that they can't even stage him and they have no idea what his prognosis is.

Then tonight, one of my friends in graduate school, who I had emailed for support because I'm having my exam defense on Monday and I thought I was stressed out, let me know that her baby (she's 4 months pregnant) has severe heart valve problems so they are seeing a specialist at Children's Hospital on Monday.

what is going on? I keep thinking things have just got to calm down for awhile and they never do.

Sad.

ack.. just reminded me I need to call my uncle!

Susie Girl- You CAN start a thread about Nervous Breakdowns. I'll bet there's more than one of us that for multiple reasons had had one or close to one.

I'm sorry you had such a scary experience! I do have some good news for a change today- I'll start a new thread (see I'm oficially a PhD candidate!). It, of course, was a bittersweet moment. My fourth committee member was Chelsea, the sweet doggie of one of my committee members. Right after my meeting she had to be put to sleep so it was like "Congratulations, you passed!" and then I had to say good bye to her. :( And I so wanted to call my mom. So, I told Chelsea that my mom would take good care of her when she got to Heaven.

But I want to focus on the good so I'm going to start a new thread. Life really is bittersweet.

Oh Bev....congrats to you (I posted on your other thread already) and so sad about the doggie. :( so he was there for your review, huh? is that why you passed? :)

OMG a nervous breakdown thread..yes I have at times used this forum as my online "personal" journal (that all the world can see) but that really is too much.... :o It could scare people!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
