GOoOoOood morning, gang!

Holy crap.....the City of Ottawa rolled out their H1N1 vaccine dispenser sites yesterday, and it soon became chaos. Thousands of people lined up for hours......people turned away after the first hour in many locations. Crazy.

They should just deliver a few hundred cases of the serum to my place, and I could set up a drive-by innoculation site at the end of my laneway. I've been doing needles for thirty-six years - - 'twould be nothin'... . .... . .. :rolleyes::lol:

Who is getting the shot here? Rather unpsilly stuff... .. ..... ..so much conflicting info out there......... :wacko:

NOT for us all ....except Alzy.

I REALLY dunno if he should :unsure: .... doesn't have the 'normal' flu jab

He has a leaky heart valve so is in the 'higher risk' category

<_<

:unsure:

:wacko:

GAH!!!!!!

Looking forward to it! Miss you :)

Tis quite boring--but it does help.....I eschew the sugar but have drawn the line when it comes to wine :lol: I think it helps :DB)

New washer/dryer are white--alas no pretty colors, but actually quite easy to operate once you figgure out how..... :blink:

As of this moment, I'm not. (either one) Mark either--he never gets a floo shot ever since the year his doctor talked him into it and he got sick anyway. (probably wasn't the floo, but try to tell him that..... :P ) I used to get the shot, had nausea as a side effect every single time--the last time I took it, I also had chest tightening so I'm skeered.

GAH!!!!!!

The reactions of the multitudes......so confuzzling. I have decided to get it, and me kids as well. I'm high-risk, so I can get in there first. I have actually done quite an about-face on this one -- a couple of months ago I was not going to get this vaccination, but the medical community at large has convinced me otherwise. Unlike Big Pharma, these guys stand to make no big money from a massive innoculation........in fact, they're volunteering extra hours and stretching resources, so likely they face a loss.

Jyesssss! Where in hell are ya? I need to hear your thoughts, unpsilly as they are.... . ..... . .you're watching some spectacular volcanoes. . ...... :)

From what I've heard, the mechanics of creating the H1N1 vaccine were exactly the same as regular flu shots. If they had had more notice (if people had gotten sick earlier in the year) it would have been part of the regular flu shot.

The disease itself is more mild than some strains of virus, but particularly bad for people with other issues.

Can't remember if I said this here, but saw a study where they tracked nurses to study face masks to prevent transmission. The most interesting part of the study was 2/3 of nurses became positive for H1N1 as determined by PCR, but never had symptoms. My take on this? Most people get H1N1 and never know it. You may already have produced your antibodies if you've been around sick people.

As with any shot, weigh the personal risks vs the personal benefits.

I haven't decided if I'm getting the shot. I have no worries about the vaccine itself, but I also have no worries about getting the virus. All the docs I work with are pulmonologists - I can get free medical advice all day. :)

Bah, Jyesss! I wanted you to say, pointedly, "GET the shot!", or "DON'T get the shot!"

Not me. I was undecided for some time. Still don't know if it's the right decision. My daughter's OB doc recommended not getting the H1N1.....even though she was pregnant.

Alexis should be coming home tomorrow :D .....finally got the knack of feeding vs sleeping. Jaundice is better. Woohoo!

Thanks, Nik! And all you other crazies posting on me Wall... . ..... :D

Don't we all miss the days when our birthdays came to us, finally, after an agonizing wait.. .. . .counting the days, then the hours, dreaming of the gifts we'd be given, the big party, the cake..... . .....revelling in being a year older, more mature.. . .....

<_<

<_<

:rolleyes:

Funny how things change.

DD came traipsing into the kitchen this am and mumbled, "Happy Birthday. Can you give me a drive to school? And I need a new hair dryer.....mine is starting to stink like burning rubber".

The Ripper followed a few minutes later, and said nothing.

I heard mad whispering in the other room, then he wanders back in...."Happy Birthday, Mom. But, like, it's not ever really HAPPY anymore, is it?"

:lol::lol:

One of my birthdays . . . hubby was gone on a business trip. Kids were about 2 1/2 and 4. I made myself an angel food cake (before Skeeter was gluten-free). Well, you have to let those rest upside down on a bottle so I had to chug a beer to get myself the appropriate size bottle. At supper I made the children sing to me or they wouldn't get cake!!! :lol::lol: The question is . . . why is this one of my most memorable birthdays?? :huh::lol:

There is one less place to set at the birthday dinner tonight, and this just hit me now as I was looking at the table.... . . .....Dad's spot, to my left, will have someone else there now, and the table will be a little smaller.

:(

Wow. The first time this has happened, and there will be many more coming, Christmas the big toughie.

But all is good. I'm okay! That was just a sudden flood of feeling, and I found myself rushing for the keyboard... .. ......

Yer sillies are here for ya, Em. It's so understandable that you would think about the loss of your dad on a day like today. As time goes on, the empty feeling will slowly be replaced with all of the wonderful memories of special days past. He's looking down today with a smile :)

Sillies--I talked to Judith this morning. The movers are finishing up loading her stuff today after a long day of last minute packing and loading yesterday. She's holding it all together well between all of the good-byes and the stress of the move itself :D They will clean the house tomorrow, and the closing is scheduled for Friday--after that, they are off to California. B)

She wanted me to tell ya'll 'hi' :)

Welcome back, Rah-shell! :) Wow, sounds like you've been hammered...... . ...were you.....swiney?

Yes, I was wondering the same :unsure:

Take it easy Rachelle!!

Talking of which, (swine flu).... I was at the docs today.

We discussed Alzey's health probs and the doc strongly advised the jab for him (and Tel)...... so we're gonna go with his advice :) (jabs should arrive next week)

I was also there to get the results of my blood tests for TATT ( :lol: tired all the time!) .... had a general overhaul, cholesterol, liver funtion FBC, etc...

All ok,...... except I am REALLY anAemic!!!!

WIH???? :blink:

He questioned my diet <_< (how dare he! )....which *I* think is pretty balanced. The doc then suggested he test ME for celiac disease ( :lol: ... had a good 'inward' chuckle at this suggestion)

I proceeded to tell him that I am already eating gluten-free so there was no point. (good call though!!)

Sooo, he's given me iron tabs to take for 2 months, and then re-test my bloods..... if it hasn't come up by then he wants to start 'investigations'

:unsure:

I clearly need to EAT FILET STEAK everynight!!!

EDIT:

PadT!, thanks for the update on Joo-dee!!! :D ..she's finally going!

Wow! Definitely a good call. Are you gluten-free all the time, Nik, or just with the family?

      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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
