How many GI docs does it take to change a light bulb?

Well, one to say it's not the bulb, it's the lamp that's the problem.

Another to try and convince you that the light is still on, you're

just not "seeing it".

And a third to say, "I know it's burned out, but I don't know what

to do to help you get it back on!"

So, in a sense, we're all left in the DARK!!!

OMG- Emily, your discourse skills are unparalled. You gotta Open Original Shared Link

Early in the writing, Gee defines Discourse as a combination of acts: saying, writing, doing, being, valuing, etc. He views Discourse as a social construct not dissimilar from Culture. In fact, in order to master a Discourse, one must go through an intensive process of enculturation or apprenticeship where there is a focus on social practices and supported interaction with people who have already mastered a Discourse.

Is that us or what? When youse a New Psilly all you think is :wacko::blink::huh:

Paddeigh's posting!

PATTI!!!!!!!!! did they get the sillies outta yer butt??????????????????????? :lol: (good one, Judy)

How ya pheelin????????

And there's a climbing spot up there called "Cirque of the Unclimbables" - - - drives me absolutely mad in its exoticism and scary-sounding remoteness :lol::ph34r:

Never mind.........just the useless thoughts of a convoluted Dingo Brain...... :lol:

<I am so weird>

OMG - now why didn't WE think of this?????????????? have GOT to come up wif some clever gimmick-y thing that people will pay such big bucks for...........

<could I put them Lilliputs on some of me dog's poop cairns in the grass?> :ph34r:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

lost my train of thought, spit out my drink and lmao :lol:

YEAH,,,, PATTI IS BACK IN THE HOUSE

just glad it's over and you home safe and sound and hope resting.........and not cleaning ;)

Yay Patti- hope your bum is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite funny dumb insult has got to be.... gee her happy meal came missing the toy

:lol:

then again my favorite loose girl comment is "She is like the town bicycle everyone gets a ride."

..one oar in the water...two bricks shy of a load...you knock and no one is home....

But, my favorite from my from my husband..."it's pouring like a cow pissing on a flat rock in a rain storm" and "sweatin' like a whore in church" and "nervous like a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

Goosey- Your hubby is a dirty boy!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Em--Did Jack have a nice time at camp? Come back wif any burning questions we can help with? :P

Em--Did Jack have a nice time at camp? Come back wif any burning questions we can help with? :P

I'll tell you what he said to me today as we were coming back from the gym. From the back seat, I suddenly hear him say:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

<_<:rolleyes:

Jack had a terrific time at his camp. He and seven other ten year-old boys in his cabin......can you imagine what that bedtime was like? He had the most incredible bed-dirt-sand-lakewater hair when we picked him up - - like this:

. . . .. . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . .. .. . .. .. .@@@

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B)

And I am sure he grew a couple of inches in that week!

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol:

He told me the consensus there was a half-sized head. But I dunno.... .. . . . these are kids, reasoning that a miniscule head would be less noticeable than a huge one, but I think something the size of a grapefruit would be gettin' a lot of stares.......... :lol::rolleyes:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

:o:o:o THAT had to stop and make ya think...... :rolleyes:

Sounds like he had a great week--I'm so glad :D

M-m-mm....the head question.....a larger one would make fer a stiff neck, I'd reckon, but a smaller one.....I donno....the word pinhead comes to mind :lol: Have to ponder this one :lol:

I hope by "cool" you mean "neato" and not . . ."Egads, there's no insulation, there's no furnace, the door's 12 feet wide (and always open with random animals coming in and out). It's like living in a . . . barn!!"

random animals coming in and out :lol: that could be phun! <as long as the cairns aren't too big>

So Patti heard from Jess - that's good. I imagine she'll have some excellent ramblings coming up.....

Gah! You could arrange it to appear as though the Lilliputians are, in fact, assembling the turds into cairns..... . . making structures of worship, landmarks or sepulchral monuments. . .. .... .. :lol::lol:

Oh, brilliant!!!!!! Alas, these cairns are going to be quite a bit more odiferous and possibly less appealing than that clever photographer's forays into broccoli and cauliflower......have to find Lilliputians who are willing to put up with stinky phecal conditions and climbing onto cairns of Dingo scat.........where will I get those? Shall I put an ad on Craig's List? :unsure::lol:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

lost my train of thought, spit out my drink and lmao :lol:

;) So glad to entertain you, Bevel!!!!!!!

Susie enjoying the cold snap?

<_< the "cold snap" is over already. Back to 100 this weekend.......... BAH!!!!!!!!! :angry: But it's been soooooooo nice these last three days........

Need to throw in some sort of endurance training as well . . . we get some phunnie visitors but they don't stay . . . hmmm . . . do we smell of wee smell of poop cairns smell??

*snort* :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol: Um, yeah, I don't think either option is going to be that great.......must ponder........

anyone heard from SArah?

Ok Psillies- I have decided to go to Turkey to look for our Knickeigh. Sigh,I wish. I'm leaving tomorrow a.m to go to the Big Apple where PICC will be inserted Friday a.m. 36 hours left without a tetherball in me arm. Ah- I'll live.

Tomorrow I am staying near the UN. Going to check it out- never been. Should I apply to be come an ambassador to Georgia? :blink: Oh, Canada!!!!!!!!!!! That would be cool!

Oracle PeOter! How do I make a circonflexe? :huh:

Open Original Shared Link It is a carry-forward of the extended ASCII character set used by PC-DOS and MS-DOS. What value you type depends on what vowel you want to combine with the circumflex.

I've been distracted with other things, so I am rather late in my reply. I wasn't ignoring you.

Directly underneath each character is an italicized number. To enter the character, press and hold <alt> while typing the 3-digit number on the key pad. If the character number is less than 100, you must type leading zeros so that a three-digit number is entered, but most of these characters can simply be typed.

Ha! Can you imagine......Cattle cairns?? :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

Yes, there have been a number of potential Psillies who have wandered in, posted regularly, and then boom! Gone......Daughter of the Light, Erica, Colleen and the phunny crew from Makeupville........ .

I think the bigger question, however, is this: Why do we stay, and stay, and stay???! :lol::rolleyes:

Bev! Are you staying at The Eastgate Tower? This is where we stayed when we were in NYC this summer, two blocks from the UN. A superb place.......big suites, kitchenettes, and cheap! (for NY)....

Have a super time! Get yer PICC, then head out to Times Square.....a truly unbelievable place, isn't it? :)

At least with a pin head, you would be able to still buy hats, although they'd all be baby bonnets, I suppose. Not too much is gonna fit on something that's the size of a small beach ball. And that would certainly be the end of turtlenecks........ :rolleyes:

      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/
