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

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?)

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.

      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.
