. . . and I'm home with a sick kid . . . actually, not TOO sick . . . tis pink eye. I think I could trust him to "not touch" anything if the line is short . . . but I'm worried that it won't be . . . we're gonna go check in about 45 minutes.

. . . and this . . . :angry::angry: . . . so Smack and I are at CVS picking up his eye drops. He doesn't feel bad, so he's talking happily. We pick up his meds and turn to go and a man who was also waiting asks me "Why isn't he in school?" I was surprised and just answered "pink eye" and left . . . but the more I thought about it the madder I got . . . What's it to ya?? Mind yer own business!! Why aren't you at work?? . . . BAH!!!! :angry::angry:

Hugs fer Amanda . . . hope all goes well.

Hugs fer Susie (but don't get yer cooties on me) . . . hope yer feelin' better soon.

Gianknit- You simply must stop abusing Smack :lol: :lol:

But seriously- what is up with rude people?

Tis my 21st 24th 28th birthday and I declare- NO ILLNESS AND NO RUDE PEEPS!!!!!!!!

Re:

Gianknit- You simply must stop abusing Smack :lol: :lol:

So this morning, shortly after I discovered that Smack had pink eye and called him in sick (he missed a field trip) and called meselph in sick (boss wasn't too happy but she's a mom, she understands) and made an appt wif the ped doc, Smack's eye started looking a little better!! :o:o So I sez to him I sez "That eye better start getting red again or I'm gonna start poking you in the eye!!" . . . :lol::lol: . . . You'll be happy to know that my threat worked. I had to do NO poking and it was still quite obvious to the doc that he had pink eye . . . . wheeewww.

Also, since we were there and sans Skeeter, I bribed him to get his flu shot. Some may remember that I had started a thread maybe 6 months ago about taking him to a therapist about his medical phobias . . . then again, you may not . . . anywho, he has been working wif a therapist to help. And it did. It was still a little rough but overall probably the best experience in several years. No screaming, hysteria, and we didn't have to hold him down. (FYI, he's not allowed to have the flu mist because of his asthma tendancies). What a relief to have it over.

Speaking of a relief to have it over . . . just got back from voting. Was an hour and 10 minute wait. Hubby was suppose to travel today and voted by mail last week. Think I'll try that next time!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

Jan-it, I do remember Smack's phobia and I'm so glad to hear that the therapist is helping! That's great :)

I practically snorted me tea just now reading this link--blah bla bla. bla...white trash....blah. bla.... :lol:

Glad you didn't have to smack the Smack. Also glad his shot went well. :D Hope his eyes go back to blue (or green or brown- just NOT pink.) Uhm...have you seen Knocked Up? Do you know where pink eye comes from?

Poor Smack.........

They were having a bake sale where I voted!!!!!!!!! I looked but no gluten-free goodies!

Janet!! I hear ya . .. it's always such a relief when I do not have to poke my children's eyes....

:huh::lol:

This is absolutely PHANTASTIC. Not that you all had to wait so long, Janet, but this: These long lines suggest huge voter turnout - - everyone is talking about the massive voting numbers down there. I am very, very ashamed to report that a mere 59% of the voting population in Canada exercised this vital right in our last federal election a couple of weeks ago. Over a third of our population did NOT VOTE!!! :o:o

The American sense of duty, of raw patriotism, is truly admirable.

Sooozie, get outta dat sick bed and perform your civic duty!! ;):P

Too bad you cannot phone in yer vote. .. ...or register it online. ....... ...

...Mygawd....so this is how the dreaded conjunctivitis is transmitted . . .. ..I've always wondered - - fecal bacteria delivered into the eye socket...... ..

I should have queried my ophthamologist about this yesterday.

"So, I hear that farting into someone's eye, directly or indirectly, can result in pinkeye".....

:huh::lol:

Shouldn't they be putting up posters in schools?

Well she obviously isn't real white trash :rolleyes: .........her teeth look too good and her Nascar shirt isn't tight enuph! :lol:

Yup.......I could tell when I met her she was a bare-a$$ed pillow pharter! :D

      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."

      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.
