Julie- Are you a baseball fan? Are you excited about Colorado? I am NOT a baseball lover- give me my HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I know- that's like treason where I live (in Red Sox Nation).

Not really, I used to be a huge Brave fan. I'm happy for the Rockies though, we have sucked for a lot of years :lol: so it's good to see and the city has gone mad, the whole state has gone mad!

Sorry so many are under the weather. Amanda and Bev, and Sarah, you guys feel better :)

9 days until the wedding?? OMG it is coming up fast. Keeping fingers crossed for great weather, and for you to feel better!

I've seen Carla in other threads, but she's been feeling so good lately she has been out and about and away from the computer :D:D

Patti- I'm glad I am not alone in seeing the humoUr of Dirty Sexy Money :lol::lol: There are quite a few touching moments as well. I love that actor from Six Feet Under too

Nikki- love the meerkat avatar. I have wanted to watch that series called Meerkat manor on the Discovery channel I think it is, they are so cute.

Thanks Julie! I actually am doing a little better today. Less groggy, less pukey.

Amanda, yes, it's absolutely worth taking some time to get better!!!

It's rainy here, too, which is good, we need it so bad. My dog is such a big sissy, she doesn't want to go outside to pee. I asked her, "What's wrong, don't remember what rain is like?"

I talk to my dog all the time. :rolleyes: She's been acting all Cujo-y the past week, and I had a sit-down talk with her last night. I told her, "Ok furface, I'm saving my money up to get you a hysterectomy, and possibly some doggy Prozac. So just try to chill for a while, ok?"

She seemed cool with that.

BEAUTIFUL weather here...sun and 20 degrees C. We're praying to the sun gods for the wedding day, Amanda...and yes, stay home tomorrow. All you'll probably miss is a few flatulous moments from your cubie. :o:lol:

I have volunteered for things already, so I'm not offering to wash RS's leotard. It's all yours, Queen Bev! A much worse job, I feel, would be washing his hair. He's got quite a mop of ridiculousness.

A good one that is circulating electronically:

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get in a little PR.

After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his

hand and George asks him his name.

"
Stanley
," responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Stanley ?"

"I have 4 questions:

First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?

Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?

Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?"

Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when

I'm a Braves fan, too!!! We lived there for 71/2 years and caught the fever :lol: We used to take the boys to games as well as my parents when they visited. My dad is a big-time Braves fan--and he lives in Syracuse. I have a 1991 Team Ball--signed by the whole team--it was a Christmas gift from Mark. All the greats--Nixon, Pendelton, Gant, Lemke,--the great pitchers......do you remember the "slide" (Sid Bream--one of the greatest moments in baseball history)?

Lots of tongue in cheek humor on Dirty Sexy Money--and I love Peter Krause, too. He was really good on SFU, but he's so cute on this show--it's not so dark.

Ok, VERY crappy day yesterday. Went home all depressed needing to indulge in some inappropriate behavior to make myself feel so bad physically that I could ignore the emotional bad.

Hmm, overeat? Nope. all the good stuff is breaded and deep fried. Celery doesn't cut it.

Get drunk? Nope. Cocktails are too expensive and you just can't develop a good 'depression drunk' on wine.

Controlled substances? Nope. My body doesn't react consistently to any chemicals so that's just way to scary to contemplate.

I finally realized that the most self-destructive behavior I could engage in is not brushing my teeth before going to bed.

Just not the same impact

:huh:

Why are you farting at Nikki's little kitty . . . what did he ever do to you? :lol:

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Back to flatus are we??

:lol: Have we ever LEFT it?

I shot the worst round of golf in my life today, but at least I got laid

:lol:

Nine more days! Yay! Yes, a day of rest sounds good.

I talk to my dog all the time. :rolleyes: She's been acting all Cujo-y the past week, and I had a sit-down talk with her last night. I told her, "Ok furface, I'm saving my money up to get you a hysterectomy, and possibly some doggy Prozac. So just try to chill for a while, ok?"

:lol: Excellent....definitely try the Prozac - I have heard it can work well for some psycho dogs. Considering something for my stinker - who has permanently taken to her bed in teh back bedroom. :huh: Scared of everything lately - bizarre.

And Sixth, what the f**k happened to Stanley ?"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: Way to live on the edge, Jess! Next time, try the wine and then - maybe smoke a whole pack of cigarettes? that should do it... :huh:

Here's hoping today is better.

Well, could be a slow day here, seems we've got a few members MIA, Bob Goulet is in the hospital, Bev has a nasty cold, Richard's painting houses....

I feel so lonely here today.

Well, since you've got a head cold, it might not be so bad . . . other than the sheer labor involved! Of course, he doen't really wear much, does he? Skimpy shorts and a tank top. :o Perhaps a towel to dab at his damp brow. Might get away with just one load . . . unless he brought his dirty laundry with him to Richard's house. <_<

That's true- jst don't make me wash his hair-EWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Amanda- Stay home and get some rest- wow-9 days!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Sarah- Glad you are feeling a bit better- I know like ten people with colds/flu :(

The commercials for Meerkat manor ALWAYS cracked me with the( watch these- they will make you giggle!): Open Original Shared Link song and

and Open Original Shared Link

I always meant to watch it- looked like a meerkat soap opera! I'll have to check out Dirty, Sexy money!

ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME

WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:

Marrying you has screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.

That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;

This describes everything you're not.

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss, But I only slept with you

'cause I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other -- That is, until I met your

brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. But

the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty And

so is your h ead.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;

But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes ......

Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.

What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,

Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'

What inspired this amorous rhyme?

Two parts vodka, one part lime.

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
    • trents
      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm.  Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate. Oats, wheat, barley, soy, lentils, peas, chickpeas, rice, and buckwheat, almonds, apples, cherries, apricots, grapes, avocados, spinach, and pistachios.

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
