Had a very unpsilly day yesterday. Went for my routine dental hygiene appt. and mentioned about this molar at the back that was feeling a bit strange for a while now.

Ugh!!!.....dont'cha just hate it?

Been waiting for years to get implants I can nae afford <_<

Speaking of unwanted hair and dreams . . . Last night I dreamt that I had chest hair . . . and it gets better . . . it was highlighted. I also dreamt that I had hair on my back but it was realy long and looked mane-like. I was trying to determine if I should wear it in a ponytail . . . oh, and the back hair had NO highlights!!

....and you were OK with this? :blink:

I am in love wif this cat. For some reason, I find this hysterical... . . ..

:lol:

such concentration.....

such....balance!

And Em....put down the Sharpie and step away from yer mom.....

:lol::lol::lol::ph34r:

I think wif the dh, we've basically been livin separate lives for the last 5-7 years,...

Marriage is HARD work, but we're working on it!!!

Sorry to hear , but it sounds like you're on the right track.

Rachelle, I've been married for 24 years. I know that we have had times where we love each other but are not "in love."

Indeed.....most of us could probably attest to that ;)

Sorry your shoulder won't cooperate.

If you must cover the perfect flavor of cooked apples, it should be vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.

When you move to Joisy maybe you can be on the "Real Housewives" show. :)

TMI, TMI, TMI

Line of the day, my therapist said this to me today

Your therapist is wise! I like that line a LOT! Speaking as an experienced married woman :of all 5 years :lol: (but we have been together for 12 and have known each other since high school) it is definitely hard work. My hubby and I are struggling right now too.

We've been through a lot of life difficulties (I lost my mom, he had a stroke, I've been Lymie) and we react very differently to tough times. You know Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? Well, I'm the one from Mars- I go to my cave. :unsure::huh: We're working on it but may go see a counselor.

Rachelle, I've been married for 24 years. I know that we have had times where we love each other but are not "in love." Guys like you to make them feel special even in little ways. I find that by changing my behavior (because I can only change mine) he reacts to it & changes his behavior.

Anyway, just something for you to think about or not. Sounds like the therapist is leading you in this direction. Good luck!

Karen- This was good- food for me thoughts!

It's like celiac disease - you didn't get there in a day, and it's going to take a while to get back where you'd like to be.

Yep.

'Doctor' was thrown out as a possibility to which the wife answered "your daddy has been in school for a very long time to be a doctor".

Daughter replied "wow! He must learn really slow!"

:lol: :lol:

I think you were sent to Texas to be my angel......and now you're not needed down there anymore ;)

:wub: :wub:

That made me tear up!

I was telling Kurt the other night what a wonderful, amazing group we have!

I'm waitin' till they can do it wifout knockin' you out, maybe just a spinal....but methinks I speak of a different type of implant.... :P

Ugh, me shoulder still isn't right :( Pheels ok whilst lying down, but raising it or <gasp> using the computer still aggravate it. Patti's getting sick of this..... :angry::P

Have you had it looked at? does it help to stretch? So sorry you're in pain!!!

Thinking of Em and her mum :wub: :wub:

Yes!! :wub: :wub:

and -_- Prayin' phace

Well, I'm the one from Mars- I go to my cave. :unsure::huh: We're working on it but may go see a counselor.

I also retreat to my cave. Tis very difficult to be present when I don't pheel like it, but I'm working on it. We've been together for 14 years and have been married for almost 12. I know this may sound trivial, but you know what bugs me the most at this point--I've been a vegetarian for quite a while now, and he constantly offers me some of his phleshy phood and is confused by the annoyed look that must come over my phace. He says, "What?" I say, "I don't eat meat!" He says, "Oh yeah,I keep forgetting..." <_< <_<

I hope your hard times get easier soon Bevs. Just one more thing we don't need bunging up our lives! :P I wish it were easier! Must get control now though, Maddie's gettin close to teenagerness and we need a united front!! :rolleyes:

Bevvie and Rah-shell, I'm so sorry you are going through some rough spots. As you know, I've been married about 450 years now :P and I wish I had some words of wisdom for you. Know that the longer you stick it out, the more ups and downs you will encounter because when you think about it, what you have are 2 distinct people who have come from different backgrounds/families bringing all of what goes along with that--sometimes subconsciously. As time goes on, that fact gets ever more evident....

I'm pulling for you both and am here if you need an old sounding board :D <another lovely visual> I do want to say that I'm so proud to know you both and greatly admire your desire and willingness to do what it takes to work through what's going on. ;)

      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

      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.
