All right, so we are on the subject of growing up with our respective moms. ...... . What were your mother's nickname(s) for you? I had one, and it was given to all of us kids at various times:

Poop-nose.

:huh:

:lol::lol:

:lol: :lol:

Lots. I don't think anyone in my family actually uses our given names.

Jenner-poo

Sis

Dot

Jean-Jean-Jellybean

Lady Jane

hmm. Have to think on more. Those were (and are) the most common.

My poor sister became "The Dreaded Leafstalker". We still call her "Leaf" or Leafo"

Gads. Got new glasses. Bifocals (OH SHUT UP!)

It's like being on a roller coaster every time I move my head. By the end of the day I'm either gonna have a stiff neck from not moving, or be puking my lunch out from motion sickness.

She did however, when I was in my twenties and had dropped a huge jug of iced tea all over the kitchen floor and could NOT stop laughing about it, say, "Bev- You are such an A$%shole!" The ONLY time I ever heard her swear! Made me laugh even harder!

:lol::lol:

Yes..... . ..! :unsure: We need one o' Ptaoughmghmn's loud, official Summonings. . . . ..

....or maybe a magic word--like "teabag" fer Bevvie :D I'll have to think on this and get wif Julie...... B)

Bifocals (OH SHUT UP!)

<snicker> But pseriously, I remember when Matt phurst got glasses in second grade. We went out to lunch after, he got out of the car and the poor kid promptly fell on his phace :o

Me mom's nickname fer me has always been Trish.......could be worse. Me sister, who's 8 years younger than me used to call me "P" when she was little. At my 6th grade play, in which I was the narrator :P , my parents, grandparents, and lil sis were in the audience. After I led the Pledge of Alliegance, and the auditorium was quiet, me sis yelled out from the audience--"HI P!!!". It was so embarassing then, but charming to think back on now :D

I'm writing a grant for the theater group I'm involved with. The granting organization wants you to own a building or something that you can name after this guy. We don't own any structures so I'm proposing that we build a prop that will be in every show. The guy will be listed as a cast member and have an increasingly long bio. :o:P

Hi Guys! Reading along and catching up. Hugs for all whether you need it or not.

My mom didn't have many nicknames for us.....but my oldest sister gave some of the sibs names. My mom used Lady Jane when she was mad at us...so we wouldn't hate our own names (although I remember too many times she used our full names when angry anyway). How we all hated hearing Lady Jane!!! There are so many of us that mom would start at the top and work her way down. Because I'm near the bottom she often gave up and said.."Oh! You know who you are!" Still does it....so cute! "Kat-Na-Pat-Bi-Day.....Oh" :D

A lot of those things "Mom Taught Me" sound just like my mom! She had lots more, too.

BI-FOCALS!!!! Welcome to the club! I hated mine (still don't like 'em much). I like to hike...first time out with those I couldn't tell where the ground was. Couldn't walk and look around at the same time. Now I read without my glasses (book almost crushing my nose) because I can't read with my glasses on anymore :lol: .

Hang in there Psuessle! Things'll get better soon!

Forot what else......hope everyone is doing all right....at least upright and breathing.

Good morning, Psillies!

Wow, it's incredible.....this past week my house has been SOOOO clean, my prepared dinners SO delicious and admirably presented, my dogs SO content at their added walk, Jack's homework SO much better covered and understood, my classes SO thoroughly prepared and presented. . . . ......

.....Because it has been SOOOO quiet in the Ville. :lol::rolleyes:

But I hate it! No pressure to fit it all into my day. . . ....

Get back here, everybody!!

Mark's back! Now it's the final push, Pahteigh......how exciting!!

Suddenly heading to Toronto next week for a couple of nights. DH has to go on business, so we are gonna tag along. We will see Jersey Boys (anyone seen it?) and hit the CN Tower, and likely the AGO.... . . ..a quick visit to the Island to see my brother, and back we come. I like these quick, crazy trips - - perhaps the next time we come we will plan to meet again for pizza, POeter! :)

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      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.

      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...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

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/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?
