I walk down to the car at lunch with John. I have a bottle of coke. I sit down in the car to open it and it was like New Years Eve when some corks a new bottle of champagne. All the coke was everywhere. All over my khakis all over my pink shirt and all over and down my sleeve of my white lab coat. I used my tide bleach pen as best as I could. I am still dirty though.

:o:lol: Oh good Lord! Glad you're laughing about it.

well where IS Everybody? some are moving......but - - Nikki, Bev??? and where's Julie been? I think we lost Daughter entirely - :huh: Richard - too many paint fumes? (my god, remember when everything had to be painted in oil - - how DID we survive our lead-tainted childhoods :lol: :lol: :lol:)

OMG - is nothing sacred - there is Chris Botti playing Nessun Dorma on his trumpet (?).....that ain't right....what's next.....Kenny G playing Vivaldi's Gloria on his insipid sax??????????????

:lol:

slow day here, folks.......nothing to see......just drive on....................

SILLLLLLLLIIEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(shaking head)

You need not fret so over the FRIENDS list. It was a feature added - maybe a year ago? None of us is sure why....except that, if someone looks at your page, they can determine if you are poplular or not??????????

Yes, yes . . . the most popular wins!

OK for all of you nonfriendly sort . . . you can enable the ability to block people from adding you to their friends list by changing something in your personal portal info . . . you would have the ability to aprove them first. The default is that anybody can add you if they want to. So if you feel inclined to approve anyone that wants to be your friend then make the change . . . then that's were the friends pending list comes in.

Also, should any of you nonfriendly types want to PM somebody, you can type in their name or find their name in a thread . . . OR if they are in your friends list, you get a little menu that you can select them as your PM recipient.

Also with your friends list, you can do a quick check to see if they've been on recently . . . unless your Bev because she has that blocked and I haven't looked into how she did that.

Sorry to tell you, if you want your own friends list, you have to build it yourself. Doesn't mean you have too . . . doesn't mean that if we have added you and you don't add us back, we will be offended . . . much. :(:huh::lol::lol:

and THANK GOD this other disquieting feature was aborted: you could actually RANK people! Go on their profiles and rate from 1 to 5 stars. :huh: There was a big brouhaha about taht, and it was abolished........................

OMG...Talk about politically incorrect...Ranking people? I was blissfully unaware of this feature while it was around. I'd be ONE star, across the board--then, like you, Tom, I'd be asking for psychiatrist referrals in the Ottawa area. :lol:

I am so amused by the complexity of it all...Ha! :lol: Friends are friends because of the ease with which the relationship happens...Unless you're on the Celiac.com forum--then you've gotta WORK for them friends! And I must say...do any of us sit at work, or in the car, or stand at the bank, and suddenly think, "Whoa! Forget this--I gotta get to my computer and find out if Emily's been on lately!" An...interesting feature...(!)

Bev, it's funny you mention this. I was just thinking yesterday (y'know, deep birthday thoughts, where's-the-time-going, guilt, regrets, all those horrid yearly pinings as the hourglass slowly runs in the background), that I have been SO lax in my responibilities of helping the newbies who get on here, depressed and frightened. Our Cult of Madness makes it very tough to visit anywhere else, particularly with a straight face. I find myself about to post the funniest responses to very serious questions. "Help! My stomach just stays SO bloated!" or "What can I tell my mother-in-law when she brings over her homemade scones?", or "check these pics of my backside out...is this DH?" These things resonate, now, with an inane hilarity, and before my life in Sillyland I was easily able to empathise and advise. WHAT"S HAPPENING TO US ALL? I just smirk at almost everything now....

...It's fantastic!.... B):lol::lol:

I know...me too. I even find myself driving in my car thinking of funny things to tell you guys. I want to help the newbies too but right now, i'm so tired.....I just need to be free to be bawdily silly!!!!!!!!!! :D:o

Carla- EXCELLENT dope slap on your son! WHAT did he DO to deserve it??????? Teenage boys are always up to something evil (we need GREEN GUY AND DEVIL emoticon). :ph34r: <-------The ph34r guy just doesn't cut it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SARAH- a fellow Heroes fan! I LOVE that show but went to bed before it was on last night (we recorded it) so don't tell me what happened. I LOVE Parkman and Hiro. Something about Parkman just says "I am a big 'ol teddy bear". SO mad when his UGLY wife left him. To be in the 501 club just post like 150 times. We don't care if youo jibber at us...maybe it will even make YOU the next queen!

Well, I have a BIG confession to make. I have no idea what making someone your friend on here does,--why we do it, what the perks are...Richard suddenly became my FIRST friend a couple of weeks ago, and then more followed. I tend to be something of a sheep, and follow the great flock, so now I have started "befriending"...Do we go to each other's houses? Can I borrow makeup or books from you guys? Do I now have special access to your hidden journals? "Add as friend"...it's a lovely option, and when I get an email announcing that someone has put me on their Friends list, I'm just all warm inside. But I wanna go to some of my friends' places... :lol:

Yes- Tom can borrow your makeup, Richard has access to your hidden journals and they BOTH know about your lingerie drawer. And there's always spouse/significant other switch night. :o :o :o :o If you have no significant other- not sure who does and doesn't- you have 3 choices:

1. Bon Jovi

2. Reese Witherspoon

3. A male or female yeti (freshly shampooed of course).

The friend's feature is lovely but my favorite is the COMMENTS section where you can say nice things about each other.

Also with your friends list, you can do a quick check to see if they've been on recently . . . unless your Bev because she has that blocked and I haven't looked into how she did that.

You caught me (shhh!!!!!!!) I logged on as invisible cause as a moderator theres a few threads I's keeping me eyes on. SHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do it by logging out, then log back in and checking log me in invisible. Then you can be but a mere ghost that no one can see, and SWOOP down at any moment, add a reply, then disappear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

With the star thing (when we had it) I thought it was evil so I just went in and gave everyone 5 stars.

Okay...I hate having no friends! I'm finding you all and you're ALL going to be informed that I've put you on my friends list. ..Wait, now...is this like facebook? Can you refuse to be my friend? I don't know how I would manage that. Any psychiatrist recommendations yet, Tom?

Nice to see you, goofasaurus!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well - I have been helping some newbies a bit - but I think I got removed from some friends lists :lol: because I told someone he could scrub the hell out of his cast iron skillet and still use it............ :huh: (well, that's what *I* would do anyway)

and then I tried to tell someone that she could consider getting her 'ROIDS lanced - she doesn't have insurance and I don't think it's a DIY situation... :huh:

Yes, and my offer is still there re. my blow-up lawn Santa, but Tom hasn't responded to it. Perhaps he thinks it wouldn't fit in his pod. TOM! Silliiiieeee!! It DEFLATES! Takes up no room whatsoever!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o

Half-nekkid man alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm minding my own business, taking out the trash cans. Down the street, at the very end, is a distinctly slow-ambling male, clad only in thin pajama bottoms. No shirt. Or, I think to myself - - is it a flesh-coloUred shirt? I stare and stare. He's less than 1/4 mile away.

Well, I simply can't take it - I've discerned he's got no shirt on (not normal folks, even when it's 110 in summer). I jump in the car, and take a spin around the block.

Yup, he's got no shirt on, a shaved head, a ghostly palloUr, and is clutching his abdomen. His eyes meet mine, they are steely gray, adn DON"T WORRY EVERYBODY, I can do a police sketch if necessary. ;)

So.....I see that there is nothign further I can do....and go back home.

Soon, he is walkign AGAIN around the block.....shufflign very slowly - and is in front of my house. I whip out my camera, but alas, to take his photo, would have had to move the blinds and he would have heard me as window is open.

But - I was able to discern that he has a large bandage on his abdomen, indicating recent surgery - OR A STAB WOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o or maybe a GUNSHOT!!!!!!!!! (alas, no bandage or scar in rear, indicating bullet egress - - but then again, perhpas it is lodged in his SPLEEN or something, and hence the ashy paloUr) :huh:

but tell me this - what man in his fifties walks around, half-clad in cooler weather, who's just had surgery, in THIS gated, stepford, Aryan community? Has he LOST his MIND???

stay tuned.

I am out of my MIND for things like this. :lol:

:lol: was it.....could it have been......REALLY???? OMG! Tell him he should put a shirt on!! (although the physique really wasn't bad at all - rather lean - I'm going to look for this guy tomorrow and see if he's single :lol: ) Clearly he is in a vulnerable condition and will have no resistance to my charms. ;)

Sarah,

What a story! I'm so happy to hear that gluten may be the problem. It's funny, isn't it...sometimes in the frustration of living with this food restriction, we wish the cause of our symptoms could be ANYTHING else! Hearing a story like this allows me to give my head a good shake--my illness can be controlled with a diet change. It ain't cancer!

BTW, I LOVE the name Ezra! It was the second choice on our list of boy names, and Jack won out... :)

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
