Contemplating a makeover. Hair getting very long and new hairs are coming in grey (*GASP*) but curly which I like. Currently taking suggestions. Feeling frumpy in me forties- want new clothes, shoes and hairdo. Advice por favor?

Garage sale season is almost upon us....a great way to try something different without breaking the bank. When my DD was a teenager, I started asking her opinion about the way I dressed. Out went the jumpers, vests, pleated pants........I get middle school kids complementing me on my clothes, now! :D You need to rent yerselph a teenager :P I'd love to take you shopping!

I keep thinking I want to change my hairstyle, but can never decide what I want. I like having a curly perm cuz it's pretty much wash 'n wear, but it's not possible to have the size curls I want unless I curl it every day <_< I have thought about getting highlights to conceal the intruding grEy hairs, but maybe not the typical blonde streaks.....maybe a copper. B)

Glad the dancing is cheering you :D :D Can you tango? I've always wanted to learn- so sexy and dramatic!

Dancing with the Stars? Methinks our Leesargh is a candidate!

Nope......can't Tango. Probably would be hard to pull off without the sexy high heels, cux I don't think I could dance in heels.

I've thought about competing, but it's too danged expensive.....entrance fees, traveling, hotel..... :(

Gah! Me, too! Bevel, let's enter each other in What Not to Wear. Man, could Stacey and Clinton ever have a field day with ME. I believe that it would have to be a two-parter.... .. . . . ..<_<

Gluten....gluten.. . . . . ......

I think it looks like this:

FK678.webp

Can I be one of the people that throw your clothes out? or is that a different show?

Also, THAT IS EXACTLLY WHAT A GLUTEN LOOKS LIKE!

Hidie-Ho thar nabors . . . it's been a hell-a-shuss couple-a-days. Just busy, busy, busy. Too tired to even tell you . . . plus it's not exciting or nuttin', just busy.

Curly Lisa - so good to see you postin' . . . you, too, Bevel.

Smothering . . . :lol: . . . glad surgery went well.

Fluent Jestese . . . :lol:

Did they actually test her for gastroparesis? Has she had the gastric emptying study or the Barium swallow to rule out a sticture somewhere? About three years ago they did a GES and she was "slow". Initial doc thought it was caused by celiac. They never did another one.

Is she normal height/weight for her age? 25% for height and 35% for weight (or something close to that).

Any inner ear problems? Vertigo or dizziness? Not that she's ever complained . . . she's got excellent balance . . . always standing on her head while watching TV. I think that would be hard to do with dizziness :P

The one common thing I keep running across is "food allergy" over and over. If there is something getting into her system that she is allergic to, the body's defense is to get rid of it asap. Can be gluten, dairy, or anything else that she may be sensitive to.

Did you google CVS? What did you think?

I did google CVS . . . it seemed a bit extreme (I only know of twice in the last three years where she actually emptied her stomach when it wasn't associated with a stomach bug) but maybe she has that much control over her gag reflex ?? It does seem cyclic but not quite how they describe it. She seems to "ramp" up, all hell breaks loose and then she seems to "ramp" down. I think (and hope) we are currently in a ramp down. If so, I will expect another two day episode in a week or two . . . and so on with them getting farther apart and shorter in duration. That's what happened when she was diagnosed and then went gluten free. I asked about a follow-up GES but since she was no longer having issues, it was deemed caused by gluten and cured by gluten-free.

Here's two more items . . . she gets nauseous on the bus rid home and she gets nauseous in the shower . . . are they related? I have no idea. The bus thing doesn't surprise me, I have always suspected that she gets motion sickness. On long trips, she prefers to just graze/nibble through most of the trip - I think she's trying to give her stomach something to "work" on. I was wondering if the heat in the shower was a yeast/candida kind of thing . . . one of the reasons I started the probiotics. School nurse said her daughter use to get nauseous in the shower too and recommended having her shower with the doors open so the heat doesn't build up (we'll try that the next time and see if it makes a differenc.)

The food allergy thing is very confusing. I have thought that, too and have gone off on what I'm sure my husband thinks are wild goose chases . . . she can be feeling just fine and dandy and eat the things she's eaten for years and all of a sudden she's not feeling well again. Plus, if we are truly in the ramp down portion (similar to when we went through this after diagnoses) we won't really be able to tell - especially as the episodes get farther and farther apart.

How frequently does she get nauseous in the shower? Does she get dizzy too? Can she feel her heart pounding and/or racing heartrate?

How does she do in heat? Standing and or walking around on a really hot day?

Okay, this one's good for a laff, at my expense :P

After having parked at many places around town for varying periods of time today, I phinally fill up with gas at the service station, go in and pay the cashier, come out, and SOME VARMINT has stolen all my hubcaps :o:unsure:

Go home and fess up to Clay that I was careless enough to let this happen, and he busts out laffin'. "You don't have hubcaps--you have mags!!!!"

:blink:

:unsure:

But you said recently I had lost a hubcap!! "No, I didn't." Yes, you did.

Look at car. I have mags. So why did he say I lost a hubcap? Oh....Now I remember. T'was off the Toyota... at Tahoe... in July!!!

:lol::lol::lol:

Lord save us from the technologically incompetent, like me :rolleyes:

A Dingogirl sighting posting!!! Spruezee!! You must visit us more often!! Everyday!!! I AM the queen and I command it. Speaking of queenshipness . . . Lordy people!! Do you want me to be queen forevah??!! Get yer arses posting!!!!

Skeeter is doing an independent study project (ummm . . . :unsure:. . . she's nine) . . . she has selected . . . go ahead, take a guess . . . yes, she has selected horses. Something like "the draft horse's role in history". She had originally narrowed it to Clydsedales but I convinced her to expand it to all draft horses so that she wouldn't be doing a presentation on Budweiser beer. As part of the project, she had to interview someone. Her interview was last night. We went to a local "living museum" and talked to the Animal Care Manager - he takes care of all the animals on the farm including 6 horses,two of which were Open Original Shared Link. What a couple of gentle giants (2500 lbs each). Skeeter's interviewee couldn't have been nicer. We were there for an hour and a half. I had a blast . . . Skeeter may have had a good time, too.

Schrume . . . so glad you didn't actually lose yer marbles hubcaps!

How does she do in heat? Standing and or walking around on a really hot day?

Does not complain of anything else in the shower. No problems on hot days. She regurgitated yesterday at the school four times. Sooner than I was expecting but didn't last as long either. Who knows?? Anyhoo . . . nurse told her to spit in the sink so that she could look. She mentioned mucus . . . so that got me thinking. Is she swallowing a lot of mucus. She does not blow her nose. I asked her if she ever feels stuffy and if she can feel anything draining down the back of her throat. She said that she does feel stuffy sometimes and that sometimes her throat feels "sticky" and that sometimes the back of her nose feels funny. I know that when I'm in the shower, it loosens up my sinuses. She has also said that benedry makes her feel better. (Haven't tried benedryl enough for ME to tell if it really makes a difference.) I'm leaning toward a sinus/allergy issue and the mucus makes her stomach upset. Watcha think?

Your Skeeter and my Maddie should hang out, sounds like they are 2 academic peas in a pod!

When you were talking about the mucus/sinus issue, I know it sounded familiar. I read the following in an article about CVS:

What triggers CVS?

Many people can identify a specific condition or event that triggered an episode, such as an infection. Common triggers in children include emotional stress and excitement. Anxiety and panic attacks are more common triggers in adults. Colds, allergies, sinus problems, and the flu can also set off episodes in some people.

Other reported triggers include eating certain foods such as chocolate or cheese, eating too much, or eating just before going to bed. Hot weather, physical exhaustion, menstruation, and motion sickness can also trigger episodes.

I wonder if it's all related....???

I've got it . . . :unsure: . . . but where the hell did I put it? That was almost three years ago. It's funny you bring it up, because when she was slow to recover from this symptom (about 6-8 months into gluten free) the GI brought up EE again. On our first trip to him prior to any testing, that's what he thought she had.

In your spare time :) , if you can get it and share (offline is fine) ... very few docs actually perform the testing correctly or interpret the tests correctly. Would hate for it to be ruled out if it wasn't tested accurately, ya know?

Thinking of you both!

Years ago (wow, years ago!) - my favorite quote, from a doctor I highly respect, when I asked him why doctors didn't do <insert multiple test names here> correctly: "They are lazy and don't want to take the time to do it right."

I have yet to figure out the point of doing something if you don't do it right.

Then, docs in general, please don't question me when I grill you as to 1) if you PLAN to do the test correctly and what the standards are and 2) if you actually DID the test correctly.

<end of rant>

Janet - will respond to PM. Enjoy your day "off"!

Hooray, a couple of Psoozle visits; she must be feeling betta. Good to see you Suze. Now get your butt out in that lovely 50 degree brisk dog-walking weather and give the Weeze a treat. :D Find a park, take a Frisbee, and have phun, phun, phun.

Me, I'm just going next door to clean out the old house :unsure: so Barb, my housesitter, can move her stuphh in on Tuesday. I'm also getting ready to fly to Auckland to visit with my sisters next week, see some friends and have a good time.

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?
