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?? . . .

Re:

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!!!

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?

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".....

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
