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!

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  One of the symptoms of Thiamine deficiency is difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD symptoms as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      Celiac for dummies

      By pothosqueen · Posted

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
