YaY Alex and Congrats!!!! Now don't you be telling us too much about the wedding night . . . you know how easily we're shocked and don't like to share information about ourselves!!!!

I'll be the first 'merican to ask . . . What is May 2-4? Some sort of drinking holiday? Get drunk then set off fireworks?? Sounds like a grand plan.

Mrs. Alex somethin' is back!!!!!!!! :) :)

Glad your day was that great. :)

Congrats!

So . . . I'm a righty with straight hair and I do like math. Spelling on the other hand has always been my nemesis.

Oh sure .. . .as she correctly spells nemisis nemesis.

One more in the Math column!! :D

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?

Now THIS I gotta hear more about!!

It's a drink? A day? Not the 2nd thru the 4th? The 24th? No .. .that's not this wkend .. ... :confuzzledface:

Every holiday up here is a drinking holiday! The grandest of plans, to be sure..... :lol:B)

We celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday on the third Monday In May, and it makes up a three-day weekend. We call our cases of 24 beers a two-four, and this weekend is May two-four, even though there is no connection to beer, and it rarely falls on May 24th. Yeah I know.....Only in Canada...... :rolleyes::lol:

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

Nothing too exciting when I google my name....a realtor, an author, an employee suing Pepsi. When I google my birth name I get a musician and an artist who does mostly silly cats. Now those are people I can relate to :D

When my mom was choosing a name for me before I was born, she liked the name of the Playboy centerfold :P for January of the year I was born. She had never before seen the name LISA. The only Lisa's I have met have been younger than me.

(wondering how old I am aren'tcha?)

Tom and Susie sorry about your struggles and Laura on the new med, you guys must feel better soon!!!! And no Bev sighting?? I am afraid that means she isn't feeling so good either :(

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

I know I'm new around here, but how long have you been on Effexor? My DD used to be on that....and several others at different times. Many of the ones she tried worked at first, but after a while became ineffective. She hated to keep changing and was sure nothing would ever work. She's been doing really well for over a year, but I don't know what it is she's been on. I'll have to ask.

BTW, what kind of jewelry do you make?

Morning, Sillies!

I went walking in a big, overgrown expanse of field near our house last night, and there is an active train track at one end. Trains rarely come by - - it's usually at night and we'll hear it's long, plaintive whistle (there is nothing like that sound) and the engine rumbling quietly....Anyways, last night I heard it coming in the distance. Well, you should have seen Elsie! I thought she would be terrified, as she is shy and gentle, but the train began to chug by in the distance and her ears perked up, she stared, and was gone! Racing full kilter after it like it was a huge metal rabbit. After I stopped laughing, and regarded Gus who was trotting happily in her wake, saying to himself, "for Gawd's sake...it's a bloody train! Save this for a groundhog", I yelled at her to come back, which she did. Promptly. Too phunny.... :D

I Googled my name, and came up empty :huh:

Patti! I'm so disappointed for you! By all means, take one of Ptaoughmn's...did he have any circus performers in his list? :lol:

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. :(

Susie, what dose are you on now? I was on 75 mg daily, and as you know I recently had to increase it. I'm at 150 mg daily now, and feeling much better. I had been on 150 before, and eventually dropped it down. I had been at 75 for about a year and a half.

I definitely think these things have to be adjusted every so often, whether it be dosage or trying something new!!!

Gotta run for now, but I'm going to Google myself later. (That almost sounds dirty.)

Amanda! You are about to make what perhaps could be judged a big flipover (4500)....Perhaps we get skin irritations at the smaller flipovers once we get high enough, and the fluid deluges at the thousand-marks. Susie, did you hit a 500-flipover when you went to the cabin? These rules could change throughout the duration of this thread, so we must be ready. Perhaps King Peter has been briefed on such matters....

      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

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
