Wow......:huh: . ....who IS that man??.... . .. . .. ..... ..think MY heart's goin' loopity loop.. .. . . . . .. ..... . . . ..

All kidding aside, Emily seconds Kherrighn's motion to keep everyone and their hubs heart-healthy.

Jack is currently obsessed with the latest huge news release from NASA, verifying the claim that the enormous earthquake in Chile has caused the earth's axis to tilt a wee bit further back (or forth, depending on one's vantage point)... . . ......our days, henceforth, are 0.5 milliseconds shorter. Forever.

Gawd......I now have even LESS time to pack it all into a day.. . . . ..... . ...:rolleyes:

Janet can jump up and down on one foot, walk backwards, and crawl on her treadmill because Janet's treadmill is never turned on. Janet uses her treadmill to "hold" things.

:lol::lol: Rachelle thinks this is too phunny!

Rachelle heard about this this morning, it greatly disturbed her!

Rachelle has to run down to the ER now to see another sick heart. She thinks they've seen a record number of sick hearts today.....She is DONE with sick hearts! Rachelle says everyone must get better NOW!!! or else..... :ph34r:

Speaking of loops, one of Beverly's students wrote a very funny memoir whose title had Loopy in it about falling in love with a drag queen. Beverly loved it but hopes that Neroli's heart loopity loops do not mean that Neroli will fall in love with a drag queen!

Neroli's heart does not go out to drag queens :rolleyes: nor do drag queens make it go loopity loop :lol: Perhaps Neroli is just plain loopy :blink:

.

Rachelle also thinks Neroli needs to wear a King-of-Hearts monitor. This is a monitor that is worn for up to a month and can catch more sporadic symptoms. Rachelle thinks the 24 hour monitors are crap hit and miss.

Neroli although thinks that 24-hour monitors are probably poop but I guess you don't get the to the King-of-Hearts until you've been through the knaves first :rolleyes:

Um.. . . . . . must one refrain from showering whilst wearing this model, as well?. . . . . ....:unsure:.. . . ....:blink: . .. . ........

Good gracious, one would have to go camping (alone) in some remote spot for a month if that were true! You could even go where there was bears and not be bothered.

Pateeh should nae be too disappointed or concerned, if symptoms are phreakwent and daily, Rachelle thinks the 24hr holter is phine ;)

Neroli thinks Holter is poopy because symptoms are inphreakwent and not daily--may even be triggered by soitin phoods, like lectins, which she is currently avoiding, although she did eat an open-faced sanmwhich today which had bread with some soy flour in it :o Neroli thought it tasted phabulous! And she was tempting fate a little to see if Holter knew about it. More later.

Tomorrow, Neroli gets to be volunteer at New Zealand House and Garden Open Homes Tour benefit for Cancer Society. Gets free admission in morning to other open homes and assigned to a lovely old colonial in the afternoon to make sure peeps don't steal stuph. Neroli was told to dress "smartly", with this big old Holter monitor bulging around her already bulging waistline and stoopid strap trying to strangle her. Is not going to look very stylish, Neroli thinks :unsure: Perhaps they will hide her away behind a table at the door taking tickets??

Rachelle thinks Neroli should show as much of the holter as possible and she should tell people in her tour group that if anyone tries to steal anything, Neroli will push "this special button" and said person will disappear thru a hole in the phloor. Rachelle thinks this will keep said people phrom stealing! OR, Neroli can make sure the electrodes are showing and phreak the peeps out by thinking she's rigged to explosives.... :huh: No, not so phunny?? Yes, too morbid :P

Rachelle will be so sad in the morning when she cannae speak in the third person. Rachelle pheels so much phunnier this way!! :lol: :lol:

Last night I was excited to watch a webinar that I'd registered for online last week. It dealt with the latest technologies and offerings in insulin pump technology.

I got comfortable with my laptop on the couch, clicked on the URL that was to take me to the site, and NUTTIN'. :angry: Kept trying, troubleshooting, recruiting help from high-tech fb friends.. . . ......but could not get on.

Think I may start a thread on this, the advancements in pump delivery.

In many ways, yes. I have managed with the syringe delivery of insulin for all of my diabetic life, and have been able to keep tight control for many years. However, perhaps due to approaching perimenopause, added life stressors, or just getting older with the illness, I'm finding it suddenly not so easy to keep my blood sugars tight.

I've never had to consider the pump, and the idea of being hooked up to a portable thing, even if it is small, with long tubing and an insertion site that is always prone to infection, has never appealed to me. Needles are so easy! Fill it, shove it in, and boom - - it's in there, and done.

But I'm hearing about new pumps, and one in particular that is STILL not available in Canada :angry:, that has NO tubing, and the insulin is delivered through a patch, like a nicotine patch, I imagine. I've been waiting a few years to explore this one. Health Canada is infamously slow, safe and conservative in its approval of such things... . .. ....

AFTERNOON PHOLKS!!!!!!! :D

HELP!! Tel's made 'rock cakes' :P ... no control....must EAT!!!!!! :ph34r:

I too am quite sad the 'third person' thing is over.....t'was amusing for my wee brain ;)

Seems quite a few of the Psills are afflicted with loopity loops and dickey tickers! :huh:

(Gyiann-eete!!..water skiing??....EXCELLENT!!!)

Did you know that Rachelle is a cardiovascular technologist? She actually graduated with a degree in cardiovascular science :huh: Anywho, she thinks an MRI for Tel is a good idea. Rachelle wants to know what his "Ejection Fraction" is. This is a very important number. Rachelle thinks it is very good that his corn's look good, but must discover what is weakening his heart and how "weak" it is....

Well now - yooz the girl to ask about hearts n' stuph then!!! (clever girl!)

..but no, don't know what the 'Ejection Fraction' is. I am wondering now if he's had this a long time.

Many, many years ago when Terry & I first met I had to take him to A&E ER 'cos of chest pains....... then again, several times in the year leading up to his celiac disease dx...at one time they thought he had endocarditis :o

... but no follow up was ever done.

Another thing that worries me is that he lost SO much weight through undx celiac disease, was SO emaciated, that his heart was damaged 'cos of 'starvation' (like an anorexic)

Hmmm, lots to ponder on, - of course I wasn't there when Terry spoke to the doc so he didn't ask the RIGHT questions (as per usual... :rolleyes: )...hope we don't have to wait too long for the MRI

NOW of course, he's milking it, ..... chores are completely out of the question as he 'has a weak heart you know! :P

There's many-a-time I wished I had such a device..... sometimes after odious, hanus, meetings (usually with DC's teachers) I would walk away whispering into my jacket collar 'kill them, kill them all!'

The 2 teens that always sit in front of us in church for 15 years, have pumps. The girl's big problem is where to put the little pump box on her cute teenager clothes. Brother has plenty of room in his baggy big pocketed khakis. Maybe the solution is to wear big baggy teen boy pants. B)

Gnick! Whot in hell are rock cakes? They are irresistable?? They do not sound as such. . . .....:unsure:

Any cakes that I have made that ended up being referred to as "rock cakes" were judged a dismal failure, and promptly made landfill. . . .. . . . . ..

This is absolutely infuriating. :angry: :angry: Starvation due to undiagnosed intolerance of a food. :angry: :angry: Insane!

Poor Tel. . . .. ..!

Yay on the outdoor running, Nikkk! Yes, a couple of large accomplice dogs, in contrasting coloUrs, certainly helps motivate me to get out there even in inclement weather, and they really do add to the pedestrian stare factor.

He's OK but currently laying on couch talking back to "Lawrence of Arabia" :lol:

Poor Kurt... . . . . . but this is phunnee. Bevel, you must go and participate in this conversation. Pretend that you are Peter O'Toole and he is your go-to man in the Arab National Council. Ask him what you should do about Damascus. . .. . . . :lol:

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
