and one more thing, dear gawd, it's going to be 102 this weekend. :angry:

-_- <------ heat stroke face

on a serious note.............Sillies, I don't think my Effexor is working at all. :( wondering if I should switch.......but you know something? I loathe the idea of going to dr. to ask for something else, admitting defeat, thereby admitting that the gluten-free diet is NOT the complete cure for depression, as I have declared it is.....

but my thoughts and brain are so awful and dark, and I feel completely hollowed-out and dull beyond belief. :(

GAH!!! Jess has a scare-vatar!!!! :ph34r:

Hey!! :lol: Is this guy :ph34r: a client??

Jack's next query is most interesting: He wants to know who the most interesting character is when you google your own name.

((Oops I overdid it!!))

LOL googling my entire full name (incl full middle name) comes up w/someone known for Cyborg Ontology!! (wth does that MEAN?????) :ph34r::huh:

Others are a Flight Instructor, a videographer, a Hawaiian real estate agent, and a Nova Scotian born in 1883!!!!

My plain old first&last name is just too common.

As a kid, a local (Chicago) popular Top40 AM radio DJ had my name, AND a pitcher for the California Angels, AND the mayor of Pittsburgh, AND the chairman of General Motors.

Whoa!!! :blink: My name has 22 separate wikipedia entries!!

Yikes!!! There's a Tony Award -winning actor, an Australian rules footballer, alleged IRA Army Council Chief of Staff, Irish playwright, Australian playwright, Former House Speaker in Georgia, Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, American lawyer/prosecutor/federal judge, a Canadian politician, American archbishop, a U.S. Postmaster in New Hampshire whose alertness just might have saved the life of the new U.S. President-Elect, John F. Kennedy(!! :o), President University College Dublin, a mixed martial arts fighter, Civil War soldier and Medal of Honor recipient!!! (Oooooh he's my favoUrite!)

Methinks I should've stopped w/ Cyborg guy. :lol: :lol:

Tom, perhaps I can borrow a few of yours . . .

I googled my current name and the most famous Janet to pop up was . . . me . . . and all it had listed was that I was serving on the PTO general board. OK, another Janet popped up and she was an administrative assistant . . . Hmmmmm, kind of a toss up to say who's got a more exciting life.

I google my maiden name and the best I could come up with was a horse rancher.

I'm still in the I'll believe it when I see it camp, but they're claiming SJ will break records w/ 97 today & 100+ thu/fri, w/ weird wind patterns making the south bay the hotspot.

But . .. .at noon it's only 76. :huh:

*DO* they really know wth they're talking about?

I don't think I've seen 100 EVER in SJ & expected to not use AC all summer, but screw THAT if it's really 103!!!!

on a serious note.............Sillies, I don't think my Effexor is working at all. :(

Awww damn :(

wondering if I should switch.......but you know something? I loathe the idea of going to dr. to ask for something else, admitting defeat, thereby revealing to them that the gluten-free diet is NOT the complete cure for depression, as declared it was.....

1) If he/she treated you pre-gluten-free, they MUST know the tremendous help the diet's been. Hmmmm (or should I say duh) I suppose it's a different doc.

2) Isn't it possible for barley's gluten to have different effects than wheat?

I think I've seen others say so.

Then again, maybe questioning the effexor effectiveness predates the barley. :(

But you did say you haven't been as careful in general lately. Hmmmm

:lol: Welsh spelling!!!! :lol: :lol: that IS phuuuuuuuuuuny!!!!

Um.......My first suspicion, and to suggest it may cause you to roll yer eyes as it's something you have perhaps often thought, is that the cigarettes themselves are a big (the main?) part of why you go days feeling crappy.

1) On the contrary, my dear, I welcome any comments from all y'all, whether I've had the thought before or not.

2) My current thinking/hope is that the response to perfumes & cleansers & other fumes/vapors could be reduced w/out smoking's additional 'toxic burden'.

Besides all the obvious health reasons, that ALONE makes quitting worthwhile.

You are constantly reacting to them, perhaps subclinically, as you react to so many other outside agents. If this is the case, won't you be waiting for-bleedin'-evah for a few good days to quit? Just thinking aloud.....

Welllllllll .. . .today feels like I'm back on the upswing, but more telling is that last year, once off soy, I had THE best, most FAN-*******-TASTIC days of my life from June until Oct/Nov. :) :)

<once past 2 months, I really really thought it would last> :(

Of course, I was smoking during all that.

I was having enough "good" days pre-quitting and for the 1st couple days off cigs.

Thx tho :wub: - it's food for thought and add'l motivation that maybe there is a heretofore unconsidered mental effect from the 'toxic burden'.

totally predates the barley.......it's been more of a constant state lately. I am just SUCH a different person than I used to be.....of course, my mom likes to point out that it's such a relief to NOT have Manic Susie :wacko:......but - - I wouldn't mind just a teensy bit of mania? I got SO much done. :huh:

I have a good life, a wonderful boyfriend, good friends, comfy home, and without doubt the best dog in the world......but - but - but - - I have no energy, no goals........I am just drifting along and don't know what to do wtih myself. I seriously feel that all of the breakdowns in the past have left me stripped and empty....esp. the Siege of Terror in 2004 - I have never been teh same since then......not even remotely. I recovered quite a bit after gluten removal.....but feel something isn't right presently. I can do better than this. :( <or can I? is this how it will always be? >

Presently, if I had a job, I'd be fired, no question about it. I am as dull as mud - in my brain. Oh yes, I can write phunny things......and those close to me tell me that in my dullest state I'm still far more interesting than most.....

I always gauge the condition of depression as this -- when situations/circumstances are the same as they were xx amount of weeks/months/ days ago and one finds oneself in an inexplicably deep pit for too long a time - one must examine what is going on.

okay - I know I'm not supposed to apologize but - sorry for the sad rant on silly thread.....carry on.

I think you're quite right, Susie, to consider another antidepressant. You have nothing to lose, and so incredibly much to gain. There are so many different ones out there, and it can be one that becomes that vital missing puzzle piece...(((HUGS)))))

I am as dull as mud - in my brain. Oh yes, I can write phunny things......and those close to me tell me that in my dullest state I'm still far more interesting than most.....

Susie, I cannot imagine a phunnier, more interesting and erudite version of you. It's just not possible! :)

Why do I think 'Brokeback mountain' when I look at your avatar??? :unsure:

As a teen, I tried ironing it, rolling it on soup cans at night and slathering it with Dippity Do (an early hair gel--very goopy) and wrapping around my head overnight. I have to say it's been nice having straight hair for the last couple of years--I always wanted it and got it. Now, I think I can move on :lol:

Patti's got closure! :lol:

Pretty soon this silly is hiding under her desk....I got 3 new patients today in an hour!!!! And there are 2 waiting to be registered to my studies. My desk is piled with charts....I dont know where to start either....

Landen is spending the night tonight since Jen got called into work.

Amanda!!!!

Come out!!!

Tell the patients to take a seat....you MUST tend to your sillies......toot sweet!!!! ;)

.......am still dragging bottom a bit.

Whaaat????

Susie's dragging her bottom around?? (like a human butt scoot??) or as an added rather cumbersome appendage :unsure:;)

.I am nearing comatose state and.........OMG I think I just wiped up some spittle..........

GADS girl!!!

Dribbling and dragging yer bottom? :blink:

NO good will come of this......I'll be round with a bottle of Chardonnay and a good sense of humoUr AT ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

However I will NOT drag your bottom round for you.

Talking of spittle I put hubby's name forward (he has no choice) in a study into the genetics of celiac disease being done at a London teaching hospital.

He's just had to fill a pot with spit :blink: .......harder than you think :huh:

Googled my name....I am a professional cyclist in the Bay area :huh:

Hubby invented the computer form of the Braille system ;)

The subject of googling my name came up once before. If you just use my first and last names, you will find lots of hits, most of them relating to a professor of Scandinavian history, who has written books on the subject.

There a very few hits on my full name as an exact match, and all of them are versions of my brother's biography (which lists his family).

:( Why thank you, Em. but it IS - or WAS - possible. My personality stripped of mania still remains interesting, I suppose........but not in any way like it was........ it's something I ponder regularly....these elements of personality that make us who we are. Is a person driven to paint/play the piano/write until 4 or 5 in the morning - who goes days without sleeping - normal? :huh: Not really......but I've lost the impetus to paint at all. So NOW maybe I'm normal? :blink: I'm soooooooooo bored with myself. :yawn: Eveyrthing that's interesting about me seems to come from my past and things I used to do.

Hi all! I hope everyone's been well. The wedding went off without a hitch! I REALLY enjoyed it -- not that I was expecting not to but I just enjoyed myself so much more than I had expected. I know this sounds kind of airy fairy or something but I just felt warm and fuzzy and peaceful the whole time. The whole day just went too fast though. We're going to do a delayed honeymoon sometime in the summer but we're not sure where yet. Also, I'm now embarrassed by the amount of money I've given other people for their weddings. I didn't realize how high going rate was for wedding gifts. I almost passed out when we opened the card from Ryan's godparents and the cheque was for $600. :o Our friends and family were extremely generous. I feel we must send gold plated Thank-you cards!

I quickly perused through the many pages I've missed and it looks like I've missed some kind of sillyville census. So . . . I'm a righty with straight hair and I do like math. Spelling on the other hand has always been my nemesis.

Happy belated mothers day to all the mothers of Sillyville. And if I'm not back before the weekend, happy May 2-4 to my fellow Canadian sillies. Since we're all diabetic I guess none of us will be drinking a 2-4. Either of you doing fireworks?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.
