Tom!!! Did you get through it without getting perfumed, or cologned??

Yes, I remember Sheila E., her family is quite the musical family, no?

I was unscathed by fumes (yay!) & glad I went. :)

And correctomundo on the Escovedos - most stuck w/ Latin Jazz but her brother Alejandro is a critically-acclaimed rocker in Austin. ;)

AZ has weight on license, but how weird is it that mine wouldn't expire until 2027?!!

OMG!......... :angry::angry::(:o:angry:

PATTI.....Did you hear about the HEINOUS, and I mean HEIIIIIIIIII-NOUS, CLOSING DOWN of highway 95 North AND South this morning???!! For about three hours??!! Uh, we were in that. We sat, in Philadelphia proper, for two hours, at a crawl, and then a stop, and then a crawl....both kids eventually very carsick....we were directed off the highway and ALL the main arteries were gridlocked.

Then I was carsick...... :angry::o

GAWD. It took us three hours to get out of Philly.

A five-hour trip to Lake George was almost nine.

....But I'd still come back! And next time I will stay at Patti's, and miss that horrific chunk of highway.....

Patti! Where's the boob pic?? :lol:;)

You sure will! As The Ripper said so eloquently--you always have a home in Pennsylvania :rolleyes:;):D

Gawd--I didn't hear of the traffic snafu--I was out most of the morning :( Sorry you guys got sick :(

The boob pic is here--and spectacular-- but I can't get one darn (sorry Janet) picture from last night up on the board :angry:

Everybody feeling better tonight?

Ah--ye sillies of little faith.....

I'm at a complete loss as to why I can't upload any of the pics that I have :angry: .....Emily gets home tonight, I'm sure she'll be able to post one. I'm going to email my pics to her, so she'll have lots to work with.

That's why I don't have an av right now--it disappears when you try and upload a new one. Gawd <_<

Apparently you and Emily's bosoms are waaaaaaay too big and must be reduced to fit into the av.

Well, bad fibroid week continues. I would NOT recommend the rapid blood loss Edna, she is much to inconvenient. I got so freaked out on Friday that I actually talked to my boss about my period :ph34r: (He's an MD, a pulmonologist, specifically) Gads.

Got an IV infusion of premarin Friday afternoon and it does seem to have slowed things down considerably, but my brain is toast. I turned the news on and am having a hard time following it. How lame is that.

As soon as the sun hits my (beautifully clean) swing I'm going out to lounge about. You are, therefor forbidden to put up rapid fire avs of the silly summit. Wouldn't want to miss photos of the summit of the century.

:( I'm sorry you're feeling bad, Jess.

Although, considering that most news has been reduced to sound bites and 20-second snippets, I wouldn't let it make you feel lame to not be able to follow it. (If you got the gist of that badly-constructed sentence, you're fine.) :lol:

I really hope you get some relief, though!!!

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      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.
