SARAH. :( :( :(

I am in shock and deep pain for you. Please hang in there. Please hold on. Take refuge at your parents. Come on here and vent. You have my prayers, and the prayers of many on here.

I am just so sorry, but Patti's right, you ARE a strong and tenacious girl. I know you are blinded by pain and shock at this time.....please take care of yourself.

many, many hugs and prayers for you. Going to have a prayer session now about many things, in fact, while waiting for the guy from AT&T.

Hold on.....hold on tight. You are an amazing girl, an incredible mother, with a great talent for writing and storytelling, a great wit, an amazing sense of humor, and a tender heart.

God has you in the palm of His hand. :)

We are praying.

"Take refuge at your parents. "

Sarah, I as mentioned in my PM to you, I am familiar with North Carolina Law. Do not leave your house, yourself or with you children.

Take refuge with your parents, but don't move out.

Jestgar Rising Star

Oh Sarah, I have no words. Cry and yell and scream and do whatever you need to let all the horror out. We're all here to hold your hand, and we'll all be there when you get to the other side.

this is a good point, Lisa......why would SHE have to move out? Seems that Brian should have to leave and let her stay there.

I can't stay. I could never afford to live here on my own, with no one to watch the kids while I work... I can't even stand looking around at this house that we struggled so hard for. Just seeing our toothbrushes together in a cup in the bathroom... Every time I think of it, more tears come... I trusted him so much... with everything... We've had problems... but I always believed we'd work through them because we loved each other. Now I know he doesn't feel that and hasn't for a long time.

I don't know how I'll ever get through this... the pain is so huge... the betrayal... I've never felt anything like it. It's... horror.

Everything I dreamed and imagined for our future is gone. I still love him, even now. I don't want this to happen. I'm crushed. He threw it all away. And I never saw it coming.

Patti has my email and can share it with everyone. I'll probably keep checking in as much as I can. I do have a great relationship with my parents. But I've never felt so alone and abandoned in my life.

Sarah- My heart truly is breaking for you right now. Please let us know what we can do- you know what we Psillies can do when we put our heads together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

You have a huge safety net of people you've never met, but care about you just as much as if we've been close neighbors for years. You're free-falling at the moment, but you'll never hit the ground. We are here for you.

Sarah, I don't even have any words. I am just so very sorry, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jess......this was wonderful

Sarah........your in all our thoughts and those of us who pray are doing that I'm sure.

Yes, free-falling is a good way to put it.

Please just go to stay with parents if you feel better there--- but don't move a thing out at this point......I so agree with this

Find where your comfortable, if the house is painful for you for this moment......your parents is a option till you can get your bearings.

Aren't there laws about him being required to support his children, including a place for them to live? Sarah, it's probably more than you can deal with right now, but maybe your mom can start checking into things. It sounds like MG Lisa has some knowledge already, maybe she can help your mom get started and point her towards where to look for more info.

Sarah--

We're all here for you--you're our friend--the exact same as if we lived down the block....Anything we can do to somehow make this easier on you, just name it.

Now is not the time for anything but putting one foot in front of the other and somehow getting through the day. You're on my mind constantly and my heart hurts.

Sarah-

Patti is right, we would do anything we could for you. I cannot keep thinking about you. Don't move anything out of that house yet. I wish i could be there to help in anyway I could, but even though we can't be there physically we are on there with you mentally.

Sillies-I am working from home today, we ended up at the vet's at 6am this morning, Landen too since he was sleeping over. Lucky has a blockage and we are forcing meds today. If all goes well it should pass, but if not we will have to have surgery.....

Poor Lucky....that's what Allo had, an intestinal blockage, when he had to have the IV fluids. He passed it on his own with the help of the extra fluids and a soft food that the vet gave us.

Did they suggest fluids first?

At times like this, no one knows what to say..... . . but somehow, Jess always does. Sarah, you are exhausted and grieving and in shock, in another nighmare world, and I am sure it does feel like you're falling - - but you won't hit bottom...... . . ..your family is there, and we will ALWAYS be here. :wub::wub:

curlyfries Contributor

Sarah.......... :( ..........so sorry to hear of your situation. I saw you on this morning, but you hadn't yet posted before I left for work. Please know that we are hear for you. I'm sure you realize that, but it can't be said often enough. :wub::wub::wub:

Ok Sillies....I need your prayers for someone else now, besides my poor kitty.

Landen needs your thoughts as well. He is currently at the hospital getting CT scan's done. He took a spill Friday night and hit his poor noggin off the corner of Jen's entertainment unit. I went down and checked him out for her since Becky was watching him, he was laughing and had a goose egg but otherwise fine, Jen was concerned but not overly worried since children do fall. Sunday this poor kid fell over backwards, he is learning to stand and can walk along furniture, well he has been attempting the solo stand and it didnt work out, he hit his head to the floor when he fell. This time Jen was with him. Neither time did he really cry or have any outward symptoms.

Well since Jen has noticed something odd....he seems to trance out. He wont blink and pinching a toe wont even stir him....You can call his name and he wont turn his head....It last sometimes 10-15 seconds. Well he spent the night with us last night, Jen was working. He slept fine, no problems there. Well on the way to the Vets this morning, he did the trance thing to me in the car. I had leaned back to check on him at a red light and he had his ring of keys toy in his mouth and was just sitting there looking off into space, not even chewing it was as if the toy was jus t resting on his lips. He wouldnt move his eyes or even blink as I called his name. I touched his toes nothing and then I waved a loud clangy toy in front of his face that I had up with me, and it was like he was oblivous to everything in his own little world....eventually he turned and looked at me and laughed as if nothing ever happened.

So Jen and I talked and she had not called the Dr thinking she was being overprotective and such and since is a a nurse on the Neuro unit she was just worried she was being paranoid. Well after alking to her Dr and he said it is possible Landen can have a small brain bleed she left for the ER. I heard from her last at 4 since they wanted to do a round of other tests....I just tried her again and got a voicemail, so I am hoping to at least get a text back.

So please add him to our prayer/thoughts list.

From Aunt Amanda and his Uncle John!!!

Thanks guys!

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
