Hee! Somehow I can't imagine Pataghumn running his phingers through the hair of anyone named Clive! :lol:

<Ho job> too phunny :P

Late night, last night! I sat watching the returns and then the speeches and didn't get to bed till well after 1. I wanted to take it all in, because no matter how you look at things-- it was one historic night!

Hi Jools!!!!!!

Good Hump Day everyone!

:lol: (again) totally different meaning here :wink:

I seem to have gotten behind here, again, and I think I figured out how that is.....on my free posting time I get sucked into Facebook commenting on pictures and accepting and sending various things and I get lost in an elaborate maze and can't find my way out :lol:

OMG!!!! I KNOW!!!!!

(J, you best NOT check out my new photo album then - you'll be gone for HOURS :lol: )

Susie Q, sorry about your phloough :( I do hope it is just a 24 hr bug and that you feel better upon rising today, so glad you were able to get out there and cast your vote!!

Indeed, I hope our Schmooze is all better!

I know we aren't suppose to talk about politics, but I thought last night was pretty incredible no matter what your party affiliation or political views.

Definitely

Thinking about Amanda and her dad, hope she pops in and gives us an update.

Yes, hoping she gets a chance to let us know if her Dad's surgery goes ahead tomorrow.

GADS :rollingeyes:, had to go back ( :ph34r: ) and re-write me whole post as I'd written it in CAPITAL LETTERS.....and I didn't want you to think I was SHOUTING .....as I'm not a shouty kind of person :meek&mildface:

Ok, not quite as monumentally newsworthy, but today in the UK is (wait.... <ahttps://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_unsure.png alt=':unsure:'> maybe just England) is Open Original Shared Linknight or commonly known as bonfire night.

I refuse to buy any fireworks as they are so bloomin' dear, AND are dangerous, AND, Alan hates the noise........so all in all just another day for me lol! (must remember to keep the cats in tonight)

...and can I just say how much I admire Julie's posts, she never forgets a thing, and always addresses all the things I wish I had!!!

Amanda! Hope to hear something today . . .. ....

And yes, I am always SO impressed with and happily looking forward to Joooolie's posts. She remembers everything!. . ...And says the most wonderful things. . . . ... :)

Got me four hot tubbin' goilfriends descending on me in about a half-hour for one of our lunches. You may never hear from me again . . .. ......

Poop in..haven't read up (tsk, tsk) but wanted to say hello!

Angus has been renamed Barkbark Obama in honor of our new president (and his vociferous barking!) :D

Anyone heard from Amanda? Still thinking about her and her dad.

elye Community Regular

OMG. . . . . ....

Once again, solved every single problem in the world whilst sitting in hot tub with drinking girlfriends. Everything except yer phlu, Soooozie, although it was mentioned. My GP buddy stated that NOTHING makes inphluenza disappear. Stress and activity can perhaps prolong it, so please lie on yer couch wif mags, the TV and Weezie. ;)

....Hmmm...everything except the mess in me kitchen. Gad, and dinner will be happening in a couple of hours. Not on my watch, howevah - - I've clearly eaten and drunk too much to be working in any kitchen. :huh::lol:

Um. . . . .we toasted Mr. Guy Fawkes. Thank gawd there were no fireworks within reach, as we may have let them off.

No word from Amanda as yet. . . . .... :(

jerseyangel Proficient

Amanda's dad was probably in surgery for quite a while, so we may not hear from her till tomorrow--at the earliest. I've had them on my mind today, too.

Barkbark Obama--hee! :D

Barkbark Obama--hee! :D

Betcha there will be a plethora of baby Baracks born over the next year. .. . ...

It will be the new 'Michael' or 'Matthew'. . ........

Hi everyone-

a quick breeze by, dad did not surgery today. He was unstable last night and so now the surgery is scheduled for 7am Friday morning. He took a shower today and passed out from the weakness and due to his heart being in such bad condition. So I am at my mom's and watching the little ones...talk to you all later...

tom Contributor

Thx for the news Amanda - you know how we psillies worry about each other's happ'nins.

:wub:

Gyah! :phear: Was doing too much to post yesterday, tho much to comment on. [1 med-lg-sized Bah to "on which to comment"]

Heading to airport in 90min, so I guess I'd best start packin'! :lol: :phear:

Plenty of time for posting once I'm in Wait Mode there. :)

Meant to be up earlier, but worked until 1am (a big <for me> 5hr shift!!) & tho quite tired, couldn't sleep until 4. Woke after noon :ph34r:

(again) totally different meaning here :wink:

Well it *could* have that meaning here too, that's why it's so phunny!!!!! If anyone goes there you can just say, "get your mind out of the gutter, twas not what I meant, ya pervert!". :laffyface:

(J, you best NOT check out my new photo album then - you'll be gone for HOURS :lol: )

Well, I did ok this time....got in and out in a timely manner :heeheeface:

I checked out the link Nik, thanks (I learn something everyday)!! So do we say, "Happy Guy Fawkes Day!!" or summat??

Can you light a candle and all gather round and pretend its a bonfire? Candles are quiet...and sort of bonfire-ish, well fire-ish anyway :lol:

...and can I just say how much I admire Julie's posts, she never forgets a thing, and always addresses all the things I wish I had!!!

:BLUSHFACE:

Well thank you guys! I must have y'all fooled because with my foggy wee brain I think I phorget lots!!

still sh!t off a cliff by a wherewolf.......but no barphing.........

Yay on the no barphing, but BOO that you still feel like you've been sh!t off a cliff by a werewolf (Patti is SO getting an award for that phrase!)

I have to agree with Patti, the fever and the vomitous action takes a lot out of you so it might take a few days to get back to your old self.

Get lots of rest!! And phluids!

Bugger all I expect

LOL Nik!!!!!!!!!!

elye Community Regular

Gawd....the only soap I have ever followed is The Young and the Restless .. . . Turned it on the other day, after not seeing it in approximately fifteen years, and there is Victor Newman, with his boxing gloves on, railing against something as he did eons ago . . .....

Mygawd....is he still with Nikki? She's lookin' rough. .. ....

:rolleyes:

Ridgewalker Contributor

Hi guys! :D

Had to stop in, I miss you all so much!

I've been job-hunting like crazy... the lack of prospects around here is utterly dismal. I've offered myself up as a volunteer at the boys' school, just for something to do, which will be fun. Also, maybe then the next time a paid position opens up, I'll have a better chance. I'm sure the principal currently thinks I'm a basket case. Between our confrontations a couple years ago, and the drama this year, that dude has not seen me at my best.

Ezra got his cast off last week, and is NOT being careful of his arm at all. :unsure: Orthopedist said it's only 60-70% healed, which surprised me. But he's not having much pain, and so far he hasn't whacked it or slammed it around too much, so... :)

Lucas is a lot more emotionally volatile than he used to be, but is doing relatively ok. He's doing really fantastic in school, and has a lot of friends.

B had a full-out nervous breakdown and is in therapy. He almost lost his job, but saved it by going to part time (child support just got hacked in half.) He now jumps back and forth between wanting me to be his best friend, and treating me like I'm his biggest enemy, who ruined his life. He also goes back and forth between being emotionally unable to handle the kids visiting, and accusing me of keeping them away from him.

It's pretty hideous, but I'm doing ok. Trying to keep all this crap from the kids, so they can just heal. I think I've been mostly successful in that... but they don't really trust him anymore, especially Ezra. They know they can't count on him... which breaks my heart. I wish I could tell them that they can, but I can't- it would be a lie.

We all had a great Halloween- no barphing this year! I hope everyone's doing ok. I saw a message that Amanda's dad is having surgery? I hope he's ok, my thoughts are with you Amanda.

Love you all,

-S.

      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.

      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.
