I don't know what I can say about anything .. . .but it does feel like I can put something on a To-Do list besides the big "to-NOT-do" smoking.

Ptaoughmn! Superb...... :)

Quick question for you....Have you heard of/seen David Liebman? Apparently he's an uncompromising saxophonist who's playing here tonight, and I think we may head out to catch him. He's a "thoughtful acolyte" of John Coltrane, so I don't think we can go wrong. I cannot believe we're actually planning this--it's been a long time since we've heard live club music.

Hi Sillies!

I too have been feeling a lot better and much more active these days. We have Landen this weekend, last night Natalie John's sister and I took Landen and her baby Lydia for a very long walk.

Today my mom and sister came down and we did some thrift shopping which was fun, and I got some new clothes, always fun.

Just now I came back from roller-blading which I did for about 20 minutes in the 80 degree heat. Hopefully Nat and I will get on another walk later tonight as well.

This is the first summer where I feel good, work is stable and my all around attitude is great....I haven't been in such high spirits since my pre-celiac days. Life is looking up. Time to run. Landen will be here in an hour.

Bye Sillies! Take Care!

It's near shameful that I don't know more about this guy, considering how much (I just learned) he's done!!

Good Sunday morning, Sillies!

Thinking of everyone....Son of Silly update, please! How are you feeling this weekend, Sarah? Is your high-octane antibiotic blasting things up for you? Bev! A better day today, I hope. What did you make Kissey and yourself for dinner last evening, Susie? No beans, of this I am certain...Now, Ptaoughmn (I cannot believe that I can continue to spell this phonetically charged nightmare version of Tom's name the same way each time), it's gotta be, what...day 50 er sumfin'? Do you have a to-do list for today? :) Oracle Peter--get ready for the heinous strikeday tomorrow...I know how downtown Toronto can be a traffic nightmare during rush hour at the best of times, so this may ease things up a bit in that way....or not(?) Se, i really dunno what in hell I'm talking about...

Amanda! Glad you're feeling spring fever. :) I am, as well. Feeling quite capable and strong like bull....must go and use this while 'tis here!

Off for a run wif my Gus....

I'm sure these first handful of day feel like mountains to climb in order to get through, with everyday though they will get just a smidgen smaller until they turn into hills, and then little speed bumps in the road. From there on out smooth sailing.

I was so angry and upset all day. My sis and Kurt sat with me while I did the first infusion with Benadryl in one hand and the phone in the other.

That is truly awful, Bev :( Just thankful you are ok :)

Patti! a job! This sounds phabulous......but.........will it interfere w/ your silly time?

Not a chance :D You guys are stuck wif me!

Patti, that sounds like a wonderful job opportunity and could not be a better fit for you! Not only are the hours set up for you to ease back into the work force, but how exciting to be working in a chiropractors office, you will have much to share from your own experiences on your health journey.

I know--it's about as perfect a fit as I'm ever gonna find....I'm just so scared. I'm so grateful to have you all to run this by--ya'll really understand how this feels. I still haven't made up my mind. :ph34r:

Oh, man....I am so lucky. You guys with serious, multiple sensitivities....I feel for you. :( I don't feel your pain, and this is why I'm so fortunate.

Note to self: Count blessings far more regularly.....

You have your share to deal with too, Emily ;)

This is the first summer where I feel good, work is stable and my all around attitude is great....I haven't been in such high spirits since my pre-celiac days. Life is looking up. Time to run. Landen will be here in an hour.

Hello, all my fellow sillies. It has been an interesting weekend here.

The threatened transit strike is off for now, but the word came almost two hours after the 4 o'clock deadline this afternoon. Tomorrow will be somewhat chaotic anyway, as many have made alternate plans to car pool and calling these off on short notice may not happen. The "emergency route - no parking" signs that went up on Saturday in anticipation were still up on the main drag mid-afternoon today. :)

I know that because...

We planned a weekend off. We left at 4 on Friday, not expecting to return until Monday. Didn't happen that way.

There was a problem at closing Saturday, so Jacquie and I made an unplanned trip to the store in the evening to look into a balancing issue. Not a major problem to resolve, but it messed up our evening.

This morning at 11, another call from the store. Technical problems involving credit/debit card processing. Your oracle makes another unplanned trip to the store, and spends about three hours working on the problem (which is still unresolved) and cooking up a workaround. We have two telephone circuits at the store. One is for normal voice telephone, and it is working. The other handles our DSL internet service and other data flow via dialed modem use. It is currently not working. It is in the hands of the wonderful telephone company. There is voltage on the wires, so the line is not severed, but there is no dial tone and the DSL is not working. Arrrrrrgh. Bell may have it fixed by the time we get in Monday. Or not. Or, they may want to send an on site technician to look at things. :angry:

Enough not-so-silly stuff.

While we were sitting out on the deck this afternoon, after I returned home, we noticed two rabbits in the yard next door. Our cats were diligently watching from the deck, but I don't think the bunnies knew they were there--they were just eating the grass and other plants in the yard. A red squirrel came onto the railing briefly, but made a hasty retreat when the two female cats went into "hunting" mode upon seeing the squirrel.

Tom, glad to hear you are still smokeless.

Sarah, how are you doing today?

Bev, a bummer that you are under the weather again.

I'm out for tonight. I may or may not be by in the morning, depending on whether the connection at the store is fixed. :(

Mornin' Sillies--

I'm so incredibly sore from working outside all weekend. BUT....the yard looks great--we planted some shrubs, flowers (lots of flowers :P ), started a perennial garden and painted the 2 rocking chairs on the front porch. We plan to plant 2 trees next weekend (Em--Bradford Pear Trees ;) ).

It's shaping up pretty well! B)

Morning Sillies!

Patti- you bet me here :)

Wow-what a busy weekend we had, my family was down on Saturday, yesterday we went to State College to see Nick, John's brother. Now its back to work, and Landen was with us all weekend too. Last night I went to bed at 9:45...and still have not used my sleeping pills, so tonight will make it 1 week!!!!!

I guess I should attempt to start some work today.

Talk to you all later!

Morning, Sillies!

Amanda! Your sleeping patterns are staying steady--this is terrific. Methinks this is your new status quo. :)

It is in the hands of the wonderful telephone company. Arrrrrrgh. Bell may have it fixed by the time we get in Monday. Or not. Or, they may want to send an on site technician to look at things. :angry:

AAAAArrrrrgggghhh!! The Bell Canada Behemoth rears its ugly head.....

Good luck with the big, ineffective, no-competition-so-we-don't-care cartel, Peter.

Here's hoping that, at the very least, the techie who comes to fix things is a lovely young lady.... <_<:rolleyes:

I failed .. ..I made it 4.738, or so, days.

Next time's for good, right?

I'm so glad to hear you're getting more hypnotherapy, Ptaoughmn! Perhaps it was wishful thinking to reasonably expect you could quit after just one session. This has been a very long-term addiction, after all! Yep, bump in the road.... :)

T'is national stop snoring week here!!

Whoa! It's Gus, here. Something that puts the sub in my substandard poodle, I must say...

Methinks you could be all done your dental appointment by now, Nikki. All went well, I am sure...

Hope this gives you a little chuckle--

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor. 
    • knitty kitty
      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit. 
    • Scott Adams
      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
