Oh, gawd......I feel like I need some good drugs meself. No, it's not my tooth. I've just been communicating briefly with Susie via email, and got the recent updates (been kind of out of the loop), and it's all so unbelievably tragic and heartbreaking for that beautiful woman. :(:( I want to be there so badly, just to collect her into a huge hug, and not let go....

Gad, sorry all...Susie's email just floored me, and I had to type something knee-jerk.

Carry onward with yon silliness.....!

Hi sillies,

Driving Weather was not on my side today, down pours, storms, fog you name it.....12 miles single lane constructions :o I had a near collision in the fog with get this....very ironic with a Wegmans tractor trailer.....yes an idiot cut off the truck and we went into the fog zone and he slammed on his brakes the truck swerved and I was in his blind area....I was able to move and the truck driver waved and mouthed he was sorry.

The illness is still not good....I am in lots of pain from my esophugus.....I cant spell. Anyway that is inflammed so eating is very painful and I have still have the pain/burning spurts, last night one was so bad that John held my hand while I took a shower.....

Today I was tired and the cough hurts too.

Tammy's wedding was nice. We had a lovely time. I did have to tell her that even though it was taking place at the courthouse it was just as special....she was a little sad this morning....She looked pretty :) I am so proud of her.

She is a mom, a full-time med student who is making straight A's, she works on the side as well doing West Nile testing, it is amazing :)

So thats my update Bye Sillies, time to rest!!!!

Amanda- Glad the wedding was great despite the weathah :wub: :wub: We are getting PUMMELED!!!!!

...At least I don't believe so. Do phone technicians have ballcocks at their disposal?

:o:ph34r::lol:

What's the latest on your liver enzymes/gall bladder situation?

Amanda, so glad to hear the wedding was really nice :)

About your esophogus pain and inflammation, slippery elm has been a life saver for me when I've had gerd attacks and esophogeal spasms and such. You can find it at the health food stores, they have lozenges (check ingredients, but I am pretty sure they are safe gluten wise :huh: )

I usually just buy slippery elm powder in bulk (like from Whole Foods) and make a gruel to drink, 1 tbsp powder mixed into a cup or a cup and a half of cold water in a pan over the stove, stir constantly with a wisk while you heat it up to a boil, it will start to thicken a little, if it's too thick to drink add more water to thin it out to drinking consistency. The slippery elm actually soothes the inflamed tissues.

Holy poop- I almost dropped the laptop cuz lightning........SCARY...gotta go!!!!!!

YIKES, better skee-daddle Bev, you don't want to be a fried poop, or a zapped poop!

We got a some rain, it passed through quickly to amount to anything severe like what was predicted, no heavy hail or anything like that. But OMG is it ever muggy, my hair is not a happy camper <_<:rolleyes:

My whole Esophogus problems stemmed from the ravaging bronch. infection. I never had gerd issues beforew at all....The Z-pac will calm it down. Scary huh?

Night Night sillies!

tom Contributor

Anyone watch The Colbert Report?

He was dissing the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

:lol:

Sounds more Scottish than British, imho.

Emily, I tuned in to the Rogers Cup and saw:

DANCEVIC -vs- DJOKOVIC

Was momentarily fooled into thinking both were from . .. .uhh .. .somewhere over there .. .you know.

I think the canuck lost.

Oh! New Dr.?

p'raps, if you want to just remove the rest of your tooth..

Hit the local rink, strap on the pads but leave the mask at home?

Eventually the pesky tooth will be the one taking a slapshot. :blink:

Nice pic Amanda . ....go Zpac go!!!

Julie? :o Gruel???? :blink: :wontdroolforgruelface:

Gawd Amanda, how scary with the near collision!!! Thank goodness you're ok.

Be careful about the shower. Heat can help break up mucous, but steam can be VERY difficult to breathe when you are so inflamed. It can be very easy to become dizzy or black out. Good on John for helping you out! :D

Amanda - nice pic!!

After the 24hr shutdown (operation Investigate Silly Phorum) I was FURTHER plunged into a phorumless abyss due to loss of internet connection!!!!!!!! :(:angry:

MY Gaaaawd ....as if I haven't suffered enough already!!!!

BTW .....Bev's right....I also got gas with the shakes :huh: ........Tel was going to escort me to an internet cafe...... :lol:

My kids have finally finished school 'til Sept (Woo-hoo!) and the sun IS shining......this is surely too good to be true???

So happy the wedding was nice and everyone had a good time :) Now you need to rest up and take good care of yerself, Amanda! ;) Harrowing drive, though--I'm glad I didn't have to be on the road last night.....

What's the latest on your liver enzymes/gall bladder situation?

The technician told me that she didn't see anything that would cause the enzymes to be elevated--no stones, liver looked clear. I still haven't heard the official word from the doctor though <_< Liver disease can cause the enzymes to be high, but they can also be elevated without disease. :huh:

I still wonder if the daily gluten cross contamination from the nuts could have caused them to be out of whack because one of the readings was elevated before I went gluten-free and it went back to normal after being on the diet for a few months. (probably wishful thinking...)

I just read that your Edna is working beautifully!! That's great, Julie! :D

the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

Ew-w-w-w! :o

Yeah--Julie said gruel :P

My kids have finally finished school 'til Sept (Woo-hoo!) and the sun IS shining......

Yippee!! :D

NIK! Naked tatoo'd grandmas! :lol: :lol:

Huh? Where? :unsure:

Ah--storms have passed through and the air is fresh this morning!! :D I just got a call from the phone/cable company--they got tons of calls like mine yesterday and got the problem fixed overnight so they don't have to come out. My internet is working fine and so is the phone!! :) Like Nik said--Woo-hoo :P

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor. 
    • knitty kitty
      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit. 
    • Scott Adams
      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
