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: )

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!!!

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?

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.

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.

. . . 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!!

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

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      By trents · Posted

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
