No doubt! My rooomie in "Absinthian Destruction About Town" will always be revered by all avatar aficionados .. . .. but .. . . hmm .. . Gian-knit seems immune to a female's batting eyelashes. :lol::P

If Janet's got something to tell us, I'm all ears .. . Or is it eyes .. . :rolleyes:

Why no "turn-of-the-century Canadian West"???? Just a lack of Hollywood appreciation?

Hallo Sillies- I am laughing at all the new absinthian avatars and toilette chairs!!!!!!!!!! :lol: NICE!!!!!!!!!

If Bev can fit me into her busy schedule . . . we will be in Boxford from the 5th through the 11th or 12th. We will have some mandatory Bostonian sight-seeing to perform, but we're flexible at this point.

Yes- yes. Come visit!!!!!! I live 2 towns away!

And next year, we are talking about heading out to Washington to see my brother (West Richland) and spend a little time in Seattle . . . Jess's neck of the woods but apparently (based on her profile) she lives in the middle of Puget Sound so we might have to rent a boat.

Can I come? I've always wanted to live in Puget Sound (well, on an island in..... :P )

OMG - he said Chowchilla. :

HYSTERICAL

Absolutely NO confuzzlement here. Do not forget where you are, Sarah...this is, after all, the land of Penis Slings and Anal Glands.... :o:lol:

And Public Poops!!!!!!!!!!

Carry on sillies- I am feeling wretched due to some combo of Lyme/flu. :( :(

Welp, I'm back from the doctor. The problems with my eye are directly related to the sinus infection, which I kind of figured since- 1) It didn't get any better on the pink eye meds, and 2) It hadn't spread to my other eye or to anyone else in the house.

She did lots of hmmm'ing and uh-huh'ing while examining various facial orifices... noted that the amoxy had done nothing... and had her new colleague come in to look at me and ask a zillion questions... They consulted for a few minutes, flipping through my (5 pound) chart... and said...

You have quite a history of being susceptible to infection and unresponsive to antibiotics. You really... really... really... need to quit smoking. And go off dairy. You're already gluten-free, you can handle quitting dairy, too.

Holy flaming panic attack, Batman!!!!!!!!

I have been with this doctor for many years, I love and respect her very much. I like her new colleague, too. But I don't know how I'm gonna do this, especially the smoking!!!

They also put me on 2 weeks of doxycycline. Kind of seemed to be a last ditch effort before switching to the big guns (i.e. the really expensive abx.) Neither of them seemed to think the doxy would do much good, but want to try it just in case.

I may have trouble bringing the phunny for a while.

2 things .. .no, 3 things .. ..no .. ..2 things

1) I recommend NOT replacing dairy w/ soy products! :ph34r:

I use Pacific brand Hazelnut milk for cereal. Mmmmmm

There are all sorts of goat cheeses that could be fine. I love the basic chevre, but some feta, gouda, & mozzarella have been fan-f******-tastic and more closely resemble, or, really I can safely say exCEED, the cow versions.

2) We DO know we should quit smoking. :(

I get a weird slight-panic feeling in my chest when I think of going w/out. I hate how so many situations won't feel right w/out lighting up.

It's just GOTTA be done .. . .. .and I'm closer to ready all the time.

Yeah, the more I read about soy, the less I want it. :ph34r:

I will definitely try the hazelnut milk! I gotta have my Erewhon Brown Rice and Berries. :lol: And now Rice Chex is gluten-free, yay!

For the mozzarella... will it say "goat mozzarella" or something? I assume you can get this at Whole Foods? Goat cheese still has casein, right? But it's got less, or something? Or a slightly different kind?

I guess I'll go strictly dairy-free for awhile, and see what happens. But if it's going to be long term, I'm definitely going to be looking at some alternatives. No more mac and cheese. :( And chocolate! God help me.

The cigarettes, yeah... *sigh* I had actually run out when I went to my appt. So I was like, should I buy any more? I had to go to the store to get some odds and ends, was just about to check out, was having a nic fit, and nearly hyperventilated at the thought of not having a cigarette when I got out of the store. (I know how pathetic that is, but it's the truth.) So I did buy ONE pack, decided to give myself that long to get used to the idea, and when it's gone... it's gone.

Yeah, I'm kinda depressed about it right now.

The Enjoy Life Chips are fabulous! I also love their Mambo Trail Mix. And the Snickerdoodles. :P

I'm dairy free, also, and use Pacific Foods Almond and Rice milks. The Vanilla Almond makes delicious chocolate and butterscotch pudding (I use Jello cook and serve). I have a recipe that I came up with for scalloped potatoes using the Plain Rice milk-- let me know if you want it.

And don't forget, Hershey's Cocoa (although, as a forum, we're kind of anti-Hershey's right now . . . so wear a disguise . . . :ph34r: )

Oh and cigarettes . . . do they still make those candy ones? :lol: . . . Probably not . . . uber politically incorrect . . . :lol:

I use Nestle's cocoa--one of my favorite chocolate fixes is Nestle's Cocoa, sugar in the raw and Vanilla Almond milk in a mug, microwaved 2 minutes. Yum :P

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
