GADS!! - we need a group hug don't we?!!

Indeed....All right, the world does in fact keep turning. Susie does need the silliness, and PeOter, you too, I'm sure - - SO sorry about Thomas. He sounded like a lovely little guy....you were all lucky to have each other! :)

Eat for England

This makes me immediately think of the apocryphal tale of Queen Victoria having to endure the less-than-entertaining, dutiful sexual sessions she endured with husband Francis. Her famous line wasn't quite "Just do it for England", but close enough...... :lol::lol:

Janet! I DO hope you've left by now!! :rolleyes::lol:

I spent three hours in the 90 degree heat yesterday washing my deck and swing. I come back in the house to find all the males sprawled over the furniture completely sacked out. harumph. men.

Jess!! You.....wanton thing, you!! How many men have you got living with you? And they're sprawled all over the furniture?? Wow...........are they attractive? And......why are they exhausted?? :ph34r::lol:

Lie back and think of England???

:lol:

I got a little bit confused for a second there Em- as I was sure Queen Victoria's hubby was called 'Albert'......but turns out 'Francis' was his 'proper' name ;)

This (to me) seems quite a common occurence in past generations.

I was recently suprised to find out that my Uncle 'Mick' was never christened Michael but infact 'Frederick'

:huh::blink::lol:

Jess!! You.....wanton thing, you!! How many men have you got living with you? And they're sprawled all over the furniture?? Wow...........are they attractive? And......why are they exhausted?? :ph34r::lol:

Yes!!

What ratio of feline/human males???? B)

Give me sum of dat 90 degree's though .... (got too many males already)

Sillies, I will be heading out of town tomorrow. I'm going to visit the parental units. I also will be leaving to avoid any retaliation attempts at my failure to let the neighbor's dogs out :ph34r: (I left the house sitter a note of apology and a gift card to Chipotles ;) ) I'll be checking in from time to time but I will have limited computer access. I'll be back on Thursday.

Janet, I missed this. Are you traveling far? Have a safe trip :)

Ouch.

NOT having a good day over here. Major emotional issues going with the med withdrawal. Desperately wishing my mom or MIL were retired so I could foist my kids on them for a few days, as I am not fit to be around anyone right now. Crying over everything one moment, then angry and hating everything the next. I hate this.

And Queen Victoria's first name was Alexandrina (I guess I'm one letter away from being named after a royal)! I don't know why she would go by Victoria when she could go by Alex! :lol: I'm thinking a unisex name would just not do for the Queen of England. <_<

Since Victoria BC was named for the Queen, I think I'd like to start a petition to rename it with her real name Alexandrina! Or even better drop that silly n and go with Alexandria! :lol:

If I were closer I would help you wrangle the kids.

I'm really sorry. Are there any affordable day camps that you could send them to for a few weeks so you could have some down time and rest? When I was a teenager I worked for a program run by the city that held day camps at various local parks. I think it was 5 or 6 dollars a day per child. But that was not only in a different city but a different country so I'm not sure how much help that will be to you. But maybe your city/town has something similar? Also our local YMCA ran similar economical camps.

Should the other meds the doc has you on be doing a better job of helping you or is that something that will take time? I went thru a lot of similar stuff with my DD when she and the dr were trying to find what meds worked for her.......tweeking dosages, changing drugs several times. Soooo frustrating!!!!

I forget, are you trying to wean off completely, or change to a cheaper drug?

It would be great if I could find something like that for them, but all the ones I've looked at around here are terribly expensive. I don't know how anyone can afford it.

Tapering off Effexor because of the cost. I should have tapered off slower, but I had to do it in two weeks. I've been off it for several days now... The other meds would probably have worked a lot better if I'd been able to taper off slower. I don't know what I want to do once I'm through this period. She put me on Prozac to try to help me get thru this period.

I don't know if this is normal to expect or not... I'm literally falling apart in tears every time the sun goes behind the clouds. My emotional state is always affected by the weather, always, but this is a bit extreme.

I'm working right up into a panic attack. I have another med I'm going to go take for that in a sec. I don't know if I should call my doc or not, I don't know if this kind of day is expected or not. I mean, maybe it's just a bad day. I don't know, I'm having a hard time. :(

Hand the hubby the keys to the kids, hop on a plane, and come to my house. You can help me even out the gender ratio.

And my yard swing is all clean and ready for lounging :D

I personally would call the Dr Sarah. if they have no suggestions to offer you than fine, but my thinking is better to let them know what you are experiencing.

I don't have any experience with this or words of wisdom, but please hang in there with it.

Can any of your friends help you with the kids?? And no luck with finding a YMCA in your area?

Wish I could be equally as witty! ( trying to pull myself together and find my silly again)

It couldn't hurt to call the doc. She will most likely either say to give it some time or up the dosage on the Prozac. I think she would want to know how you are reacting.

Sarah, I agree with everyone to call your doctor. She sounds like she's willing to go that extra mile for you (from what you've told us), so I'm sure that she'll try to figure this out with you. I hate to see you having to go this alone.

I don't have any experience with this--wish I could be of more help. I tell ya, if I could, I'd come get the kids for you at least.

Hang in there and stay in touch :)

Peter, sorry to hear of your Thomas.

.. . He was running for some political office and is well-known, so it's big in local media.

Yeah I saw the paper's online article yesterday & today a bigger one in the print version.

......seven orphaned children within two houses of one another. :(

So terribly sad beyond words. Can't help but think of the kids' lives always defined by Before, and After. :( :(

Janet, I missed this. Are you traveling far?

I'll guess ~2hrs-ish . .. .official guess betw 1h45m and 2h15m.

So there's the over/under. Who says closer? Farther?

Or do we have to switch to exact guesses?

Oh Sarah :( .. . ..I remember some times like that, tho of course I didn't also have kids to care for.

Didja call the doc yet? It really is best if she knows & maybe there are samples of something else. Seemed Prozac did nothing at all for me, but all the rest did have an effect.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this, Sarah, all because those @!%#*!!@* drugs are so expensive! It is not fair........

I would expect that your severe emotional withdrawal is perfectly normal, because you have come off SO quickly. Yes, call that doc!

Since Victoria BC was named for the Queen, I think I'd like to start a petition to rename it with her real name Alexandrina! Or even better drop that silly n and go with Alexandria! :lol:

I think WE need a Queen Alex around here.....just twelve pages to go!!......

No nearby YMCA? They have terrific kids' camps, and you pay what you can afford. Wish I could head on over there and take your kids for a while, Sarah! We could make a beeline for Jess's place, where everybody could fight for a spot on the lounger swing..... :rolleyes:

Sarah - :(

Eeek - hang in there - I can sooo relate....

I finally come of my anti- depressants last yr (after ....I dunno....too many years!)

I tried to just STOP.....OH no..my body was having NONE OF THAT

I know how you must be suffering 'cos I was thrown back into

Waking at 4.00am

Jittery, anxiousness, can't sit still - like I wanted to climb out of my skin

My chest felt really tight - as if I couldn't get enough air

In the end I had to taper it off so slow it took a month.

Mmm, Prozac.....I've had this - and it didn't suit me at all....gave me WORSE symptoms.....it's worth mentioning how you've been to the doc.....Prozac may not be for you.

At my worst I found my kids so hard to deal with - and hubby's have got to work ain't they?? <_<

My Mum was also working when things were bad years ago....she couldn't have the kids BUT she did help me pay to put my youngest in Nursery all day

You know - I always said if I were rich, I would never have needed the drugs in the first place....I would have toddled off to The Priory or The Betty Ford clinic for a couple of weeks.......probably slept solid in a darkened room for those 2 weeks ...and called it exhaustion!!! :lol:

Unfortunately - it weren't bloomin' practical for me ;)

Patteigh!!! - I was hoping you'd comment on the coloUrs for Al's room...what with your intimate knowledge of coloUr charts & permanently having a paintbrush in yer hand :lol:

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
