Oh heck SARAH!!!!!!

{{{HUGS}}}}

What can I say???....I'm hoping tomorrow WILL be a better day for you

My god you need a break !!!!!

The concept of not being able to wean yourself off of anti-depressants 'cos of $$'s is totally alien and I definitely should think myself lucky having the NHS to pick up the tab here in the UK.

It just seems wrong :(

Oh, Sarah!! :(:(:(

Bloody hell.

I'm really thinking about you. Wish there was something we could do, from so far away....wish I could send you some Effexor. LOTS of Effexor, so it would just not be a concern.

((((((HUGS))))))))

Oh, Nikki! An obese, bald, cigar-sucking repairman.....yeesh, I DO hope yer washer conks back in. :lol:

And Yes!! The llama lady! I'm dying to know your story.... .... ..llamas are lovely animals - - my kids love them. Gad.......please don't tell me your mother was killed by a llama, and you're trying to work your way through your grief by closely associating with elements of the tragedy....... . .... :unsure::huh:

I love it!! :lol: Llamas have the most adorable faces! There used to be one at a farm not far from our house in NJ.

Ok, so if anyone denies us needful meds, we'll sic Patti on their ass!

I'll be forced to open a can of wup-ass on em! ;)

Turns out she was more concerned about the Prednisone than the Vicodin because of my blood pressure. She checked my bp again, and it's still really high- stroke level. :( So first thing, she's decided to put me on BP meds- a diuretic for now, just as Patti predicted. It's one of the meds she put my mom on. I think she (the doc) is thinking a lot of this might be hereditary, but pushed me again to quit smoking. :( <--- scared face.

Gawd Sarah....so much going on at once. Hopefully, the diuretic will do the trick. Really watch the salt, too. That helped me a lot when I finally actually did it. :ph34r:

Welcome back Nikki!!!!!!

Your mini holiday to bonnie Scotland sounded lovely. It is a dream of mine to visit there someday, AND Ireland and England......to my home lands :lol: (being that I'm Irish/Scottish/English...............and Native American thrown in there to round it off nicely :D )

Sarah, thanks for the link to all the crockpot recipes :)

Double ((((HUGS)))) to you and Bev!!!!!!!! You both are in my thoughts and I hope you guys set some relief soon :wub:

And Amanda, omgosh I am so sorry your jury experience has been so stressful :(

Susie, I know you are bummed about the job not working out, but I just know something else will come along. I think the winery position was just the beginning of all kinds of good possibilities to come.

I missed the conversations about grandparents, poop! I love talking about my grandparents. I enjoyed all your stories and the avatars, thanks for sharing :wub:

Hi llama lady!

I had something funny happen yesterday. I went shopping with my mom and when we got to the mall we parked beside this large tree that shaded the parking spot, thinking it would keep the car cooler while we shopped. So we shopped and then returned to the car and drove off......before we were out of the parking lot we heard this really LOUD screeching, like maybe we had ran over something. So we stopped and looked back, nothing to be seen, then we drove back around retracing our tracks, and still nothing. We kept hearing the sound as we started and stopped :huh: .

So then we thought, hmm, maybe something fell down from the car and we are dragging it. So we stop and get out of the car and walked around looking at all sides......nothing. So by now we look CRAZY, driving in circles around the parking lot, starting and stopping and starting and stopping, getting out of the car and walking around the car. So we get back in and drive off to Target across the street, still hearing the screeching sound.

Then we decide, maybe it's an animal that got under the car and up into something somehow? :blink: . Now we are both out of the car looking down under the car and all around the wheels, and yet again nothing. We were completely perplexed. We go into Target talking the entire time about what in the heck the noise could be coming from, all the way through checking out :lol: As we are walking back out to the car I spot something on the roof, when we get closer we see that there is a tree branch on top of the car, it must have fallen from the tree we parked under at the mall :rolleyes::rolleyes:

We could not stop laughing, the things we were imagining....running over some one in the parking lot, the car falling apart and dragging behind, or a maimed squirrel that had crawled up into the wheels.....and it was just a wee tree branch.

Yes, and apes can get hemmorroids (true!)....once again, nothing to further your llama knowledge... .. I'm afraid I just don't know too much about these lovely creatures. But you know something... ...there could very well be a predisposition to gluten intolerance within llamas. The wonky gene that generates celiac is also the gene that causes long eyelashes (again, true). The majority of llamas we see have gorgeous, long lashes....ergo.... . .. .

Hmmmm....I think maybe llamas look tired a lot of the time, as well. And kind of....sad....perhaps depressed, even. They seem like they cannot concentrate, at times... . ..

I think they very well could be fellow sufferers............ :rolleyes:<_<

Thanks for all the kind words about our wedding picture! I put a front view up. I know it looks kind of cheesy and posed but it actually wasn't posed. Our photographer (a friend of ours) snapped it during the ceremony while our attendants were signing the registry.

Ditto! Very enjoyable to read about. I am extremely blessed with my grandpa. He's taught me so many things. Despite losing his wife and only child prematurely, he has always modeled living with joyfulness, thankfulness, and a zest for life. I hope I can be like him!

Hello, all!!

Seems like many sillies (meself included) have been down in the dumps lately. I came across this so I thought I'd share.

Hope everyone feels better! ;)

Well- I went to the hospital and it turns out I have chemical burns under my dressing because of the reaction between alcohol and betadine they use to sanitize it when they change it. It hurts like heck but looks like it will be OK- next 24-48 hours will tell! Thanks y'all.

Yes- Patti has the nurturing side of a mom with the tenacity and protection of a bull dog! She's the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Sillies,

I am back from my relaxing getaway to my moms. It is nice to be home. I am looking forward to being back at work. It felt odd to not be there last week. So we got lots of errands to run today. I want to go grab some gluten free goodies at the dillsburg store. I need to get a new cell phone. So a busy day ahead.

Yep Tom 2 weeks to Orlando!!!!!

We then took the kids to Piccadilly Circus, whilst there we saw the actor Bill Nighy doing a bit of shopping (He's in 'Love Actually')

Positively starstruck.

Ptaoughmghmn, I want yer dry, arid 100 degrees! Trade 'ja!

:huh: :huh: I'm not IN Phx anymo'. I think 84 forecast here today, but it's only 78. That flirtin' w/ 100F was quite the anomoly for SJ. (Not for Phrez, I see)

And like soughsie says, you don't want 100+ for months. I know *I* won't miss Phx's 115+ days.

You can truly feel the 'radiation pressure' of the sun pounding you, and that temp is in the shade, and there ain't much shade. Even at only 110, it's gotta be over 130 in the sun. :ph34r:

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
