Ho hum. I apparently have gotten myself a stress fracture, involving the second and third metatarsil on the top of my foot. Happened suddenly during a step class ten days ago - - felt sudden, real pain as I was doing my jumping around.......only a matter of time. Too much pounding and punishing overuse through the years. :angry:

OUCH!!!!....Overly Svenning and the inevitable injuries <_< ....but EXCELLENT news on the crutch tip!!!!! (will it match in coloUr????? :unsure: )

Hobble be GONE Em!!!

Hey sillies . . . more guests arriving tonight so that means more cleaning. But I just wanted to tell Emily that if she didn't spend so much time and energy with Sven, she would have never gotten a stress fracture!!!

Hi. I am new to this. I am compltely devoid of humour - humourless - notin's funny - don't even have a funny bone. I need something funny in my life. Mind if I hang here for awhile? Maybe its contagious and I can 'catch" humour. If I don't come down with it in a reasoable time, I'll remove my grumpy, old ass from here. Promise!

Yes....... . . . .Sven and I are now about to change our relationship, at least temporarily. I won't be able to see him every day, and when I do, things will be.....well, different. My heart rate won't be getting as high.......not as breathless, won't be leaving the ground with both feet. .. . ......

Gawd, sounds like I'm marrying him. . . ...... :lol:

Who are all these people descending upon Jyaghnutt? :unsure: Not the in-laws.....they will be living down the street....... ... . ..

Hi Susan--Welcome to madness :lol: Sounds like you've come to the right place! Make yerselph at home--we spell phunny, Emily's harmless, and other than that just jump right in. :D

Ok sillies--I keep having this dream where I'm walking down a street in the downtown area of my hometown. All is well until I enter a store--then no matter which door I try to exit I don't recognize the area. Suddenly, it's a desolate, industrial kind of place. No one around. :unsure:

I had it again this morning just before I woke up--very weird.

WIH?

Hi Susan--welcome to the world of Phunnies!!!!!

We talk about missing crutch tips in spas, ballcocks, Sven, yetis, and dangling participles!!!!

Love it here

Sillies--this day is going by so slow....my goodness....

ranger Enthusiast

Perfect for a deppresso. In this dream, do you know what kind of store this is? Do you feel that your future looks flat ( in real life). Are you in any kind of rut? Do you still have things to look forward to? Do you feel at all kind of locked into your currant situatio, even if thats a good place? I dunno.

I'm not sure about this. Is a ballcock something that's found inside a toilet? I warned you guys - no humor

A ballcock is whatever you imagine it to be :lol: A Yeti, last I heard, was still a snowman, but I was not here when he made his original appearance. Ditto for when Sven came along; you just have to kinda go wif da phlow and pick things up in context as you go along. You will think that sons are husbands and husbands are sons, and mebbe even make a phool of yerselph over what you don't know, but everybody luvs that anyway, the more phoolish the better. You can never make too much of a phool of yerselph here; dat's what's nice about it.

Patteigh, is this a TexAss desolate, industrial kinda space. Is you feeling a bit lost and lonely down dere?

hmmm.....a humourless ranger and we are already dangling yeti ballcocks. Things get scary quick around here.

. . . as oppose to just after you woke up!!! :lol:

Sounds to me like you need to go back in the store and do some shopping!!! . . . Yep, you apparently need some retail therapy!!!

I'm not sure about this. Is a ballcock something that's found inside a toilet?

Yes it is!!! We just seem to like the word and try to use it in everyday converstation as much as possible . . . :lol:

Welcome, Susan . . . tis a great thread that you've jumped into . . . some really phunnee people . . . also, there's a money back guarantee. If you find that you are not enjoying yourself, just return your unused portion of the thread and someone . . . not me . . . will refund your purchase price (less delivery fees, of course).

OK . . . I'm stalling . . . and actually letting the vacuum cleaner cool down. I've got lots to do yet and the motor is hot!!! Four hours before Cincinnati friends arrive but Skeeter has horse back riding lessons during that time too.

TaTa for now.

Stick around Susan, we'll help you find your inner sillie!!

Ballcock, ballcock. Yes, I'm beginning to like that word. Gotta run. I've got to quick do something obvious in the house so DH thinks I did something today! Later.

I find that dumping a potted plant over near anything that needs to be cleaned works really well. When whoever shows up you greet them with exasperation saying "I just finish cleaning and the cat goes and does this. Do you mind if we just hang out in the other room?"

I have a lot of plants :ph34r: :ph34r:

But you already made me larf by calling yerself a grumpy old ass. Methinks you are anything but. I have two phunny bones and I'd lend you one buit they're not gluten free (gawd, I miss Funny Bones with milk!)

Patteigh, is this a TexAss desolate, industrial kinda space. Is you feeling a bit lost and lonely down dere?

But more importantly, do you still have yer clothes on? :P :P

And thats the beauty of the internet - I can tell a joke that bad and nobody can hit me over the head with a beer bottle! Or, at least, I hope not.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it. 
    • xxnonamexx
      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
