ok but wait - - I only eat and write left-handed. Everything else is strong right - tennis, batting, etc. etc. and kick w/ right foot.......

:wacko:

Me, too. Though I prefer to eat right handed because I bump elbows if I eat left handed. But I eat just as easily with my left hand as my right.

With some practice, I could write right handed .... I will sign my name, or write something short with my right hand if I'm holding something in my left.

When I was a child, I was totally ambidextrous .... did not know my right from my left for years!

Why do you think I'm called curlyfries?

I assumed you loved curly fries :lol::lol:

Wow, lots of curly haired lefties, I thought we were the minority :lol:

I also just eat and write with my left hand, I do most everything else with my right hand.

So I went outside, and sure enough-- Ezra is standing under the tree, pitiful look on his face, head stuck to the bird feeder. :rolleyes:

:lol::lol: Poor Ez! You've painted this picture so well, Sarah....I can see him so clearly....

Em, congrats on yer pap and your convoluted cervix. I have the same. :ph34r: (v. painful paps as quite hard to access :o )

This guy made the dreaded test pain-free, and speedy as hell.....quite a magic man. He should be given a key to the city, methinks.

And I didn't even pull out the sparkles!

Don't have any in the house, as my kids seem to have outgrown them, and all the crafty things they entail...I do still have some peel-and-stick Ottawa Senators tattoos, and I thought of putting one right where he'd be descending, as we have talked in the past about being loyal fans.

Next year.

Patti - gloss-black stool to go w/ yer chairs. :lol: Yes, since WHEN have we been painting our stools?

:o Whoa...black stools....hemmorroids?

Yep.....that'll be me! I have a totally dyslexic brain when it comes to right handed gadgets :wacko: I didn't figure out until I was 18 why my shoes never stayed tied :blink: I was tying them 1/2 left handed and 1/2 right handed!

I'm a southpaw, as well...always had trouble with can openers.... :angry:

I had a thought about the quicksand one, you know you don't hear so much about quicksand anymore. It used to be in a movie or two, and several tv shows...oh, it's the dreaded quicksand, however will they get out....... but no, not so much anymore.

It's true...where is all the quicksand? Where are all the travelling vacuum salesmen?

Hmmmmm.....could there be a relationship there?

I do remember a few classic things like the Puffy Shirt, or the Man Bra, the Soup Nazi......

The Abstinence Contest..... :lol:

Patti, you don't have to leave :lol: It's so strange to have so many naturally curly heads that happen to be left handed in one place, tis a rarity for sure.....and poses Susie's question, "what does it all mean?" :huh:

It's true...where is all the quicksand? Where are all the travelling vacuum salesmen?

Hmmmmm.....could there be a relationship there?

Or the door to door encyclopedia salesmen? In fact, where did all the encyclopedias of the world go??

I think the quicksand has some splainin to do!

OMG! a startling epiphany!

the ones who like mathS are the ones who are right-handed w/ the straight hair. All others, if I'm not mistaken, DO NOT like the mathS...........

We have not yet heard from Bev and Tom and Amanda on this.......who else am I missing?

tom Contributor

Righty here. Strongly Right-eyed even :blink:

......do y'all remember the episode when George abstained from sex and became smarter, Elaine participated and got increasingly dumber..........so - -she's standing in front of this - what in hell was it? - rotating helix-type shape - maybe in front of a tire store er sumfin'? and it's going round and round......and she's standing in front of it, her head going round and round, mimicking the motion of the thing-y, with a huge, dopey grin on her face.......and she's laughing like a simpleton and clapping her hands with glee................... :lol:

so that's what I was doing.

:blink:

:lol:

I remember it well .. ...George's girlfriend wanted to try celibacy. He ended up gettin' back in the game w/ a Portugese waitress.

I can picture Elaine in her long brown winter coat in front of the tire store, clapping black-gloved hands w/ that moronic glee. :lol:

Susie? Tri-tip? Good? Edible?

Why am I so blah again today? Yesterday seemed to be SO on the upswing.

:(

Did I see Patti & Susie say they have curly hair??

Jestgar Rising Star

I'm right handed and left eyed, and consequently dyslexic. Can only go places I've already been :lol:

Ridgewalker Contributor

Curly haired and right handed, here-- strongly-- right armed, right legged, and definitely right eared!

Both of my boys are right handed, but Brian started out as a leftie... he saw all the other five-year-olds writing with their right hands, though, and switched!

:o OMG, you might be on to something (like Rachel :lol: )

But wait, Emily is a lefty but has straight hair, right? AND she likes the math.....then there is Patti, curly headed and right handed, lots of mixed variables here and very unscientific :lol:

MORONIC GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: that pleased me......

yes, curly hair here. and I LOATHE it - - just want long, silky tresses....... :angry:

Tri tip was VERY good! So easy - put it on the grill, flip it once, and go get it when you remember it. :lol: Weezee had NEVER EVER been so interested in being outside at night - - I've never barbecued while living in this house (three years) and she was out of her dingo-addled mind........kept revisiting the area of the exquisite smell.......in and out and in and out, long after the meat was in the fridge, the look on her face a mix of joy, pleasure, loss and pain all at once. :lol:

Pthghaoeughaaaaaaaaaghmn - - <------- *snigger* :lol:

These bad days........ :( so heinous......I've had several in a row lately and feel sooooooooooo tired, so dull, so flat and worthless.........I don't know what's up (save for today) but I do clearly know I'm not being as careful w/ food as in the past. Taking more risks all the time.......not good.

:unsure: but wait - doesn't Em hate the mathS? She simply tricked us w/ her diabetic/blood sugar equations, is all. :lol:

but what about our founder, Richard? Is he left-handed and curly-haired? I must pm him with this urgent query.............

jerseyangel Proficient
Did I see Patti & Susie say they have curly hair??

Yes....mine has been "relaxed" for the past couple of years but I'm seriously thinking of stopping that and wearing it natural again. Too much wear and tear on the ol' mane B) Of course, this plan will entail a substantial haircut......what to do???? :huh:

I'm right handed and left eyed, and consequently dyslexic. Can only go places I've already been :lol:

They gotta be weirdo lefties...... :lol:

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
    • knitty kitty
      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/  
    • Iam
      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
