Hi guys.. just stopped in a for a few minutes. I'm at loose ends, I don't know what to do today. Going over to get more stuff, or starting to clear the stored stuff out of this bedroom seems repugnant... every step I take like that makes it all more real and permanent. I can't stand that.

I'm starting to realize that a lot of life was based on lies, and I know that means there's no going back... but I can't help still wanting it. Woke up this morning with tears already on my face, thinking over and over again, I want to go home, I want my husband back.

:(:(

Sarah. We hear your pain. this is awful. Hang tight, and, Richard is right.....don't do ANYTHING without a lawyer/ arbitrator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your husband seems to have actually lost his mind. :angry: And, I don't know that there's any validity to the claim that.....the house isn't yours since you haven't paid anything into it......that doesn't fly in California...........

I have all your emails - there were four of five?

Sarah,

I remember from my first divorce that the worst part was not losing my husband, but losing all the dreams and the plans and everything I thought my life was going to be. Somehow, realizing this made it a little easier. I knew that since dreams and plans were mine to start with, that I would make new ones.

You haven't lost yourself, although I suspect it feels that way at times. You are still you.

Jess is a wise woman. It's probably hard to hear this stuff now....but it's true. Remember, you ARE still you.

I'm reading some books that are very helpful to me now.......there will come a time when they're helpful to you, and I"ll send them. :)

I am, by the way, yacht-free . . . ummm . . . and goat-free.

Well, I am NOT yacht-free. Oh, haven't I told you guys? I have a BIG OL' YACHT parked down in.....La Paz. That's right. I guess I just forget to tell you guys after all this time. I'll be down there for the next two months. There's a personal chef on board, a first mate, a maid, all of it.

Dang, just slipped my mind to tell you about this.....it's over 100 feet and easily sleeps.....12. Yeah, that's right, 12.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It has goats on it, too.

:lol:

I got me a blasted headache..............sooooooooo menstrual. :ph34r:

forgot to tell you guys ALSO about teh two diarrheal blowouts I had at Lauren's school, whilst helping her. Yup, two for two. Both days I was there last week, had to FALL to the (newly carpeted) floor in her classroom, doubled over in laboUr pains of explosive diarrhea. :blink: Now, this was NOT gluten.....and it was late in the afternoon. Lauren got rather a good laugh as I lay on the floor, waiting for things to......build to their denoument..........and then RAN......and I mean RAN - to the bathroom - quite far away. (are there any celiacs who are teachers? trapped in a classroom all day? my idea of hell :huh: )

So anywho.........I had two MAJOR explosions in the bathroom at her school this last week......what in hell? why? :huh::lol: Was totally spent. And, to me, it was just further confirmation that I should have NEVER gotten a teaching credential (blasted waste of a college education :angry: If I knew then what I know now....... )

EMILY!!!!!!!!!! I"ll let you go on my yacht if you let me go to that haunted cottage in Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

JESS - yes. Glitter, notes, sparklies - ALL OF IT - you just can't be too careful. :lol: Pseriously, check in with us as SOON as you can. :)

Sarah,

I knew that since dreams and plans were mine to start with, that I would make new ones.

You haven't lost yourself, although I suspect it feels that way at times. You are still you.

Sarah, this is so true.

Well the good thing is . . . your brain is gettin' there. :) It will take longer for the heart . . . :(

Look forward; not back.

We're here for ya' . . . got sumptin' you need to bounce off someone or some help troubleshooting . . . we're good at suppling unsolicitated advice. Stay Strong.

:wub:

yep, that's one thing we sillies are good for!

My niece got baptized this morning in Italy. John is her god father and my sister Carrie is her god mother. I cant wait to see pictures.

anyway its off to house hunt see ya all later.

Yeah, some good news......whew..........did you find a good house????

Jess- You is one smart chick and emoticonically proficient :lol:

:wub: :wub: :wub: Sarah- We are going hold you up until you can do it yourself :wub: :wub: :wub:

That's so true :( you haven't lost yourself- you've lost the life you thought you had, the person who was the man that you loved, but not YOU. You still have your dreams, your beautiful boys and the future. Now it can be what YOU and they want, without anyone else's imposition (except ours). :P

Ditto all Bev!!!!

I'm having trouble with my email, sometimes it's working and sometimes it's not. But I do need something, something I didn't think I would. Has anyone kept all the emails and updates I've sent? It would help me keep dates straight about what was said when.

I am going to talk to a lawyer after all. I didn't want to, but the things he did and said today force me too. It makes me sick with sadness.

I went over to talk to him about not changing the kids rooms so soon. To give you the short version, since it's here instead of email... He said that I don't have a say in it, and he needs to make room to get all of my stuff out of his bedroom.

He's trying to make it out that I chose to leave. That I could have stayed if i wanted (by what means, I don't know.) He said I can have the house if I want it, but if I'm not putting money into it and helping him with the bills, then it's his and I have no say about what he does there.

He told me to leave. I said that it was my house, too, and how could he tell me to leave? He said that it's not my house because I'm not paying for anything.

There's more that was said... so unbearably hurtful.... I don't want to post it here, and I couldn't get my email working right.

If anyone has the updates I've sent, please try to send them to me and I'll let you know if they came through.

I think i have then in a Sarah file :)

Not everyone has their own file on my computer. :lol: See how special you are babe.

THRILLED your getting some professional advice.

will send asap!

Jess, good luck tomorrow! lots of hugs love and prayers for you too

Jestgar Rising Star

Thanks all. I'll check in when I can sit :P

Good Morning, Sillies!

Susie's secret yacht and internal explosions, Jess's uterine map......just another evening in Sillyville..... !!. .. . . :rolleyes:

I'm hoping that we''ll get some wonderfully amusing, narcotic-fuelled postings from our Jess over the next few days........ :lol:

Morning Sillies-

House hunting went well, we found some more potentials....Some of these places are over-priced though....so we scratched them. We kinda of drove around and found the ones off the beaten path that were by other agents and not on the multi-list. So they have the info tube and we grabbed a paper. It was fun too.

Lucky is still pretty sick, on Sat he had x-rays and blood work. All came out perfect. Today he will start some new meds for de-worms, maybe he has a parasite, if not by Weds/Thurs they will put him on Prednisone a steroroid for inflammation in his GI tract...after that we are out of options. I feel that if this doesn't all work we will be putting him down, why make him continue to suffer, he is starving since he eats and it all comes back up....such a sad thing. I love my cat! I cannot believe this is going on.....its like there are no causes and no answers.

John is home with Lucky today which is nice.

Ridgewalker Contributor

The emails are coming through ok... thank you guys for taking the time to do that. I think there were more than 3, but I think that there may have been a couple that only went out to one person, not the group. So I'm glad that you all sent what you have, and I can try to piece it together.

I thought we could at least do this without getting any uglier than it was already. I guess when he agreed that it wasn't necessary to get lawyers, he really meant as long as I went along with everything he decided.

And I still miss him. Last night after I got the kids settled down, my first thought was I want to call him. I want to talk, I wonder what he's doing.... I want my husband back. And an image popped into my head with him in our bedroom, with all of my things moved out... because by that time, he'd surely already done it.

And I lost it again... sobbed for hours, till I couldn't see anymore. Thank God my mom was right there with me, Thank God I wasn't alone...

Why does it just have to keep getting worse? Haven't I hurt enough? If he had to do this, even for just himself, why does he have to be so cruel about it? Why push me and move my things and say the house isn't mine? I don't understand it... and I don't think I ever will.

Jess... I know you're having the surgery today, I'll be thinking about you.

Jess- I'm thinking about you

Sarah-thanks for the update....I am speechless, I just finished the email and I dont know why he insists on continuing to hurt you. There is just no need for it. The worst part should have been hearing the news, but he does not even give you the chance to let that fully sink in before he is making another mess. He is being unfair! I am so glad you have your parents! Stay Strong!

Judy- foots ok, still hurts a bit....hopefully just bruised!

OK- how about some good news? I have been watching the Olympics and have realized that at 40, I still have plenty of time (like 20 years give or take the Lyme years) to train for the US equestrian team! I'm so gonna do it! Will you guys buy me a horse? I want

I swear this video will cheer you up- this horse dances to Lady Marmalade (Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?)

Lucky just turned 3, so he is still a baby!

I wonder if they liked Jess's pre-surgery pampering of her Uttery???? Do you think the sparkles and glitter were up to par or were they wondering where she got sucha crazy idea???

Hello Sillies on this Manic Monday

I'm thinking about Jess, and Sarah, and Susie (sounds like she had a rough few days with d and headaches and not feeling quite right) HUGS and :wub: to all...

And poor Lucky still sick :(

I got so far behind, how does this happen? Got lost in my inbox I guess :lol: Must go back and catch up.....

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Lucky is still pretty sick, on Sat he had x-rays and blood work. All came out perfect. Today he will start some new meds for de-worms, maybe he has a parasite, if not by Weds/Thurs they will put him on Prednisone a steroroid for inflammation in his GI tract...after that we are out of options. I feel that if this doesn't all work we will be putting him down, why make him continue to suffer, he is starving since he eats and it all comes back up....such a sad thing. I love my cat! I cannot believe this is going on.....its like there are no causes and no answers.

:o AMANDA! WHAT????????????? Put Lucky down? he's only three!!!!

Listne - what is he eating? what's his diet? I feel rather sure you can turn this around, with different food. Alas, it may involve baby food, or cooking ground turkey and rice for him.....something. Am I forgetting - has he been on any special diet? I just feel that there must be SOMETHIGN you can do....he's been healthy until now...

Of course, this comes from a woman who paid for 1.5 years of chemotherapy for her non-pedigreed dog..... :ph34r: Said dog was CELIAC, BTW, and when I switched her food, seven years of diarrhea (my poor girl!!!!! :( ) STOPPED!

Why does it just have to keep getting worse? Haven't I hurt enough? If he had to do this, even for just himself, why does he have to be so cruel about it? Why push me and move my things and say the house isn't mine? I don't understand it... and I don't think I ever will.

Sarah :( this is exactly the question I have asked myself recently. A$$hole seems to take pleasure in hurting me, as evidenced by an email last weekend.....I was unglued. The cruelty, I think, helps them to distance......I do think they want to make US mad, then they can feel better about themselves. Very strange.....

Some people just lose their minds....who knows why. Sounds like Brian's having a mid-life crisis, only he's too young for that.

you MUST get legal help........you must........

So glad your mom is there with you.

I do not know how to do this. I always want everybody to know when I'm on. :rolleyes::lol::lol:

But actually, I may want to clandestinely surf around elsewhere, someday...... . ..how does one make oneself "anonymous?", anyways? :huh:

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
