Sillieeeeeessssssss,

I'm driving myself nuts :( I've already started getting stuff together for my weekend trip.....I've changed my mind on one outfit (the one for Sunday) and I'm gonna hate tomorrow when I actually have to pack and get the food ready that I'm bringing to the party. Of course, that doesn't count the food I have to bring for myself...and the water :huh:

Gawd....this is supposed to be fun. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill :lol: I know this, but do it anyway :huh:

Oh--on a related note, I talked to my mom today and she told me that my sister's doctor wants to try shock therapy :o For cryin' out loud....why can't they do an antibody test before they resort to such measures? :angry:

I've toiled this afternoon getting rid of all evidence of the unfortunate linkage snafu. B) Don't quite know how it happened--some sort of odd mixup, I suspect, but it wasn't the unamused poster....she just happened onto it. Probably would have happened sooner or later. ;)

Onward and upward! :P

Really???

The links are gone now so I can't test it out for meself.

And, this has had an astonishing side effect! Scott deleted two posts from page 2 of this thread. This has caused the very foundation of Sillyville to warp. That which they always worried about on Star Trek has happened to Sillyville. The first post on page 800 is now a post by, wait for it, jerseyangel.

The top two posts on every page from 3 onwards have been moved to the bottom of the previous page.

My poor head is spinning. :o :o

Well Peter, congratulations. You've uncovered my diabolical scheme to be the new ruler--by default. In one fell swoop, I have taken control of and shaken Silliville to it's core. B)

Be afraid, my Sillies, be very afraid..... :o

Well, for the first time, I just got busted for over emoticonizing! How utterly style-cramping and expressiveness-squashing! HARUMPH!

Oh Poopy Cow!!!!

Thanks! Hey that's a good idea... Actually, I hit the snooze button for about 30 minutes anyway, lol ... So if I put the patch on the first time I hit it, then by the time I'm really awake, it'll be working. Perfect!

Heyyyyyyy that's quite a system you've got there. I think you're home-free once the 1st day is done, tho I know they say 3 days.

Oh--on a related note, I talked to my mom today and she told me that my sister's doctor wants to try shock therapy :o For cryin' out loud....why can't they do an antibody test before they resort to such measures? :angry:

:( wowwwwwww

I don't suppose there's any documentation from the kinesiologist visit and/or short gluten-free time of feeling better . . .. .

:ph34r: I used to fear that I'd get shock-therapy against my will.

It's a lot less far-fetched than you'd think. :ph34r:

.. . The first post on page 800 is now a post by, wait for it, jerseyangel.

Very very interesting piece of sleuthing & sussing of the pertinent impact of this short-sighted near-vandalesque perturbation of order.

Not that I've imagined how I would spend my time in my cottage on the Cape! :lol: I'm not jealous of how you're feeling though :( . I hope you don't too feel to wretched to enjoy your time on the Cape. I just love saying the Cape lol.

So clever...so deviously BRILLIANT....move all the posts back by two, causing a shift in the royal flipover position. All it takes is a quick, stealthy change of a single website address from the early pages, and WHAMMO! New royalty.......things are quite warped and convoluted and .....oh...the ramifications....

Maybe I am now in a past Queen position!!! Perhaps I am the first on page 300, or 400.....a queen that never got to see her day..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::lol:

I know--I could hardly believe it. This is supposedly a "top doc" psychiatrist. <_< They said she would be anaethetised and the whole thing would take about 15 minutes. They hope to "reset" things in her brain. Sounds barbaric to me.

Tom--I can believe it isn't far-fetched, as I highly doubt she would have a lot of say in this.

Bev said Nantucket & chin in the same sentence. :P:lol:

Tee hee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I once knew an man from Nantucket :P. It was actually his CHIN that was long! That limerick was all wrong!

Oh gawd Patti- I know that it has gotten better (less barbaric) but it's a last resort. I seriously can't believe someone would go through that rather than change their diet :huh: I'm really sorry.

I'd try a toothpaste & pinecone diet before agreeing to THAT!

I've heard of individuals who voluntarily have it done regularly, but it just scares me.

Would anyone really ever hear about instances where it's detrimental??

They talk about the reset but can't quite explain it.

All I could think was "I AM my brain. I'm not my body. I . .. . . .am . .. . . .my .. . . brain. Don't **** w/ my brain!!!!!!"

(To be clear - I don't mean to imply I've actually been in a facility where they do this)

**Band on break** :):P

I bumped into this article on North America's earliest humans, pre-dating Clovis by 1000 yrs. Open Original Shared Link

This cracked me up:

"To make sure the Oregon cave material hadn't been contaminated with modern DNA, the researchers tested more than 50 people who worked at the site. The DNA testing indicated that the feces belonged to Native Americans in two groups that can be traced to Siberia and East Asia."

"Awright!!! Which archeologist crapped in the cave?? Earl?? AGAIN???"

She would burp (a god one I might add) and I'd say "MOM!" and she would just giggle. Once, only once, did she EVER swera at me and it was so "cute" because she was so hard to rile up that I burst out laughing.

Bloodless seems confirmed. Fluidless, I'm not so sure.

Is anything around here EVER fluidless? :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
