Hallo Sillies- As if I wasn't upset enough already about being demoderatorized :P<_< today just plain STUNK like a glutened celiac fart in a Dutch oven!!!!!!!!!!

Scott's message to me about this implies that if you are still active and want to be reinstated you can send him a message (PM?) and he will likely reactivate you.

Yes he can "reactivate" me but I have chosen no to cuz I'm scared. You wouldn't believe what I had to do to get activated :P:lol:

Had to be up and about early--my cutie-patootie plumber was here already....we sprung a small leak under the sink that he replaced in February. Turned out to be a defective seal, so he phixed it for phree. Woo-Hoo! :D

Ooohhhh...I could have used him today a cutie-patootie plumber!!!!!!!!!!!! Details to come.

One can use moderator "privileges" to do certain things? This could, surely, lead to abuse of one's position. Does one get forum lunches and company vehicles? What else, exactly, does the moderator status allow one to do besides read and post?....

Does a moderator get more emoticons? larger quotation quotas? Immunity from the "report" button? Hmmmmmm, what is going on?...... We little, ordinary members need to investigate all this.....

I did get busted at the moderator weekend in palm Springs this year for trying to bring the yeti into the hot tub ;)

I have thought about relocating to Arizona, my body would be a happy camper in the hot and dry there.

At least from November- April....Scottsdale or Sedona!

OK- I want some hugs here (no hubby to say "Oh, poor Bevvy" so you guys have to pitch in. I woke up this morning to a PICC line that sprayed out everything I tried to put into it (no alcohol-just sterile stuff). Not good :( . So I call my doc and he sys "No prob, they can be repaired" but will anyone up HERE repair one? NOOOOOOOOO. So into the hospital I go to have the old one removed and a new one put in. Just what I had planned on doing with my day.

POOPY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( HARUMPH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say that you are performing quite well at work, considering the amount of time you spend on an online celiac forum, pondering questions about wearing green, eating poop and tactics for avoiding jury duty.

You have two professional goals: To avoid completely the office pain-in-the-@ss that you've mentioned here, and....what else....oh, and to make more time to speak to your online friends.

There, that should cover it.

:lol: yes - but what about greater efficiency in making pressing decisions? such as - forehead rump vs. dangling chin feet or cleats vs. suction cups?

Thanks for all the suggestions Sillies! My goal is to spend more time in the Vortex.....I feel as if I have been neglecting my duties here! ;) Guess my boss wont want to hear that though?

:lol: who cares? who cares whatcher boss wants? IT"S YOUR SILLIES WHO MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

OMG - Kissey will be getting here at about 1 a.m. :blink: if all goes as planned, I will have been asleep for over two hours by then... dingo girl doesn't do so well without sleep.....I'm hoping he'll slip in unnoticed, and I can slumber away....................but unlikely.

TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we have missed you...........

Hi all ... .just unreasonably depressed again but coming out of it I think.

Finished the humaworm yesterday. Nothing noteworthy came of that. Early on, it seemed to knock 10 or 20% off my goodness scale, so hopefully I get that back tomorrow.

And I'm 7 pages behind!!!!!!!!

Jury Duty! Ack! I only got called while living at the condo - longest term of residence for me so I'm thinking that's not a coincidence.

Figured I'd say "well, he wouldn't BE here if he wasn't guilty!" to get out of it. (Yes .. ..default defendant is male)

But, then considering that the notice didn't arrive by registered mail, I'd just toss 'em, knowing no one could prove I ever saw it.

3x I think.

BTW, some time after all that, my sister worked w/ the Clackamas County Court in Portland for a few yrs & said they only expect some low % to even respond. Maybe it was 20%?

Hi, Ptaoughmn! Hope yer silly's completely reinstated by tomorrow....

Sad that it's so difficult to get us, as a society, engaged in things like civic duty. I don't think I've ever heard anyone, ever, say, "Jeez...I wish I'd get an official summons for jury duty"....

      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
