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!!!!!!

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.

:wacko:

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!"

:rolleyes::lol:

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?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.  
    • trents
      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
    • Scott Adams
      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
