I am so bad at being not well. Follow up is 1 month after surgery.

Stopping the pain meds was a good idea. Made me much more aware of when I was overdoing it.

I'll try doing gentle stretches throughout the day. Maybe just being in a multitude of positions will help, even if they aren't strenuous.

:D Yeah--you kinda go stir crazy. What you don't want to happen is adhesions.....(not to mention popping an internal stitch) that's why it's best to keep to walking and changing positions (carefully) right now. I learned this the hard way after my c-section. I was much younger and bounced back rather quickly.....mowed the lawn after 3 weeks :ph34r: .....guess what I developed? :P

After my 5 week follow-up (this time), I was cleared to do almost everything--so be patient and be a good patient :lol:

SILLIES - - I have been working out SO HARD at the gym - I think i've.......torn things..... :unsure: am in SO much pain adn too old for this sort of activity............shoulder/hip/back - what in hell? it didn't USED to hurt this much when I worked out........... :angry: getting old SUCKS!

Gawd, ain't it the truf! <_<

Think I'd be slowly backing toward the door if upon entering I saw metal stirrups affixed to his chest freezer........ . . . . ... :o:lol:

I've written 5 weeks of sick leave, but I'm set up to work from home, so I can extend that by doing part time from home, if I need to. Any longer than 5 weeks and it's my vacation time and heaven forbid I use that for lollygagging and not traveling.

A bit of cute for you.

Since I'm home, I've been leaving the door open so the cats can go out. Max doesn't go much farther than the porch, and Lefty doesn't really leave the yard, although he is fascinated with the green space behind my house. If I haven't seen Lefty for a while I'll go out and call him. He always comes running, and he seems to think that I'm calling him because I need his comfort. He runs up to me, stands up, puts one paw on my knee, and reaches the other up to be picked up.

It is unbelievably adorable.

Hi everyone

. ....what day is it already?

I guess my brain's coming around a little . ...but still SO far from silly.

And been too tired to even make dinner sometimes.

Yesterday, at a lab for a blood draw (4th visit to do what should've been done in one visit - thyroid & CBC), I'm so ***** stupid, I forgot my own zipcode.

Far cry from the wordplay & perma-smile of days gone by. :(

When I'm incapable of laughter, or even an amused smile, it's .. .. ..argh depressing isn't quite the word . .. .irksome? .. ... maddening? . .. ..well it's just not fun to read the silly.

If I lost my sense of taste, would I bother seeking out favorite foods?

I can't tell if I'll EVER have as much fun conversing as I had every day of those 5 or 6 months last year.

Maybe I'll try to catch up late at night - brain sometimes a little better then.

HI, PTAOUGHMHGMN!! :):)

Um......doesn't everyone forget their postal codes on occasion?? :unsure::huh:

That is a great comparative question, Ptaoughmghmn....I'm sure the answer would be NO, that you wouldn't be craving or even interested in delicious food were your taste gone. So, it's understandable that you have no desire to come into Sillyville when nuttin' seems phunny to ya....... .. . We understand, and hope that your true Silliness resurfaces and has us cackling away post after post. We've missed you! .. ...Sounds like you've been missing yourself. :)

So, went to my doc's house. :huh::lol:

I did not have to crawl upon his freezer, as he doesn't do that kind of examination....just eyes, reflexes, BP, etc. It's more talking.... .a LOT of talking, going over blood sugar levels, trends and patterns, meds.....essentially, my life in an hour. His house is 100 years old, a huge, sprawling, gabled stone manse. I'm glad I did not have to do window duty....just too many of them. And I did hear a clothes dryer going in the background, so I kept wondering if I was going to have some folding to do.....

Ironing?? Bah! This I would refuse............

Gah! Thank gawd, I have superb BP....today it was 112 over 76, as per usual. Something, something, I don't have to worry about......!!

He did have to go and get his BP monitor from the kitchen, where his teenaged son and buddies were seeing how much, and how quickly, their numbers would go up after each successive espresso was pounded back.......

And.....he needed to renew my Eltroxin prescription, and could not find his scrip pad anywhere in his office. I'm quietly starting to wonder about that teenaged son of his, when his wife opens the office door and places the pad on his desk - - she'd used it to jot down phone numbers and appointment times while doing the reception work...... .. . . . . ..

It is an interesting atmosphere in which to be... . . . .. :huh::rolleyes:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
