Evenin' Peeps. Yep. Busy here. Preschool started this week so I had to go back to earn a few (and I do mean few) bucks. Yesterday I worked at the Elementary School. Working out lots of bits and pieces to get Smackl straightened out. I'm sure I've mentioned this before . . . Smart kid that struggles to get down on paper the volumes that he knows. Will be getting an OT evaluation (finally). I don't know how many people I have said "Dysgraphia" to and I think I finally said it to the right person. However, I am talking to the school system so I'm sure I'll be disappointed. Have also initiated contact with the ped about sleep issues. The older he gets, the worse he gets. Has a horrible time falling asleep. I use to think he got good quality sleep once he finally got to sleep but I don't think so anymore. We got to see the ped doc in a week and may do a sleep study. Other than that . . . my house is filling up with dirty laundry, dust, dog hair, school papers, and dead ladybugs (they come through my bathroom vent).

.....I had to do a 7 day collection while working all day........

:huh:

WHOT?

A SEVEN DAY COLLECTION??. . .. .. . . ..This is truly heinous. How in hell big would THAT orange jug be? Like, the size of my dishwasher, methinks. . .. . . ...

I'm actually on me second jug. :ph34r: I'm usually good for one and a quarter containers.. . . . ...big water drinker, here.

ANNNNND.. . . .....for the first time, I read the sticker on the side of the jug, and I think I was subconsciously refraining from reading it all these years because it explicitly tells one to refrain from drinking ANY alcohol whilst collecting.

Man.. . .. . . .could NEVAH do a week's stint.. . . . . . . . ... ....

Jyaghnutt! I feel your stress with Smackl's sleeping troubles. DD has gone through periods of insomnia, and has never been a great sleeper. Seems to be getting somewhat better as she gets older, but it still concerns me. Good for you getting him into a sleep clinic -- you could get real help there!

Hope so . . . now that I have brought it up to him, he's expecting me to fix his sleep problems immediately . . . anybody know what a safe amount of nyquil is to give an 11 year old boy?

. . . are we trying to do that 'no posting' thing again? Where is everybody??

News from the preschool (I didn't work today so I had to get this second hand) . . . one of the four year old boys drank out of the urinal . . . he said he was thirsty. I guess it looked like some kind of fancy water fountaing to him.

Many many years ago, Nyquil had a good dose of alcohol in it. My sister would keep everyone up coughing like a sea lion from an allergy. My mom would give her a good slug of Nyquil and she slept soundly. Why is it OK to give them alcohol in medicine but not give them a half shot of something thats equivalent? Vodka & OJ would taste better and give you vit C. :P

WTH? Someone really wanted 7 days worth of your pee? Does it cure warts? Increase male performance? Seriously, do we really pee that whole container in 1 day?

Hub & I seem to be physically degenerating. Body parts are taking turns to make certain that 2 or 3 a day are aching. We will have to consider a spa soon. I'm afraid I may not be able to get out!

I'm back from the bowels of school hell. I've been knee deep in principals and teachers and pretty soon, my knee is going to be buried deep in that principals junk if he doesn't take care of this blasted situation!! Sorry-bit of a vent! No new news, we'll find out next week what will be done (or if my dh will be calling the superintendant again):angry:

Em-

Why are you peeing in a jug????

Yeah--they love a good weather story....too bad when a storm fizzles and they gota phill the time :lol:

Lordy, some schools around here have altered their school schedules because of "Winter Storm '08" That stuff NEVER happens around here! Once every 10 years isn't enough to git everyone's panties in a bunch!

My papa used to put a bit of whiskey in my mom's baby bottle (wif the milk) when she had a wicked cold and it was keeping her up at night. Graduated to a glass as she got older. I asked her once as a teen during a nasty cold why she wouldn't do that for me... she never had a good answer :rolleyes:

kareng Grand Master

M is a strawberry daiquiri fiend. We stayed at a hotel with a happy hour. Everyday, they had 2 frozen drinks - strawberry & something else, in a Icee machine. For adults, they added alcohol to the glass. He had to get back for his happy hour drink.

When I worked at a Childrens hospital, they gave sick/ premmie babies a " whiskey nipple" if they had to do something painful like an arterial line. It was a sponge soaked with whiskey and sugar? In the shape of a pacifier. Babies loved it!

Rey Shell, is that nasty boy bothering your daughter again? In 6 th grade, a boy kept hitting J. J said, " it's OK, Mom. He' s little. He can't hurt me.". This kid was severly mentally ill and was supposed to have a helper or teacher at all times. The teachers said that since he has a special need, we couldn't do anything about it. My son was not to react in anyway. He was using his Tae Kwon do and moving out of the way at the last minute & the kid would go flying. I said that my kid deserved to go to school in peace. That kid wasn't allowed alone again. He also was sent somewhere else the next year, hopefully for the help he needed. Good luck.

Have also initiated contact with the ped about sleep issues. The older he gets, the worse he gets. Has a horrible time falling asleep. I use to think he got good quality sleep once he finally got to sleep but I don't think so anymore. We got to see the ped doc in a week and may do a sleep study.

DD did a sleep study years ago. Turns out she has restless leg. She never realized it cuz she didn't get the feelings they talked about in the commercials. Lack of sleep can affect so many other things. She was put on medication and it has helped tremendously.

So now I've started my second month of torture physical therapy. My therapist said she has to get more aggressive in my treatment!

:huh:

Are you kidding me?????

:(

On the bright side......I'm going to attempt to go dancing tomorrow!!!!!! So excited!! :D

I tried to copy it

So here's a phunny story. My J, 17, has Homecoming dance coming up at school. He wasn't going to go, maybe, probably because he didn't have anyone special in his mind. Suddenly, 3 of his male friends started asking him when he was going to ask " Mary" to Homecoming. Telling him him not to wait until the last minute. One of Mary's friends offered to take some pictures & help him with a fun way to ask her ( apparently, you cannot just call someone up & ask). Another girl told him to hurry up & ask Mary. These are all kids in a large group of about 30 kids that sometimes do things together. So, J asked her. He has known her since 1 st grade and always got along with her. He said, " I was assumed into asking her. Do girls have meetings to decide who should go with who?"

I said yes. He said, " Well, where do they meet? How did I miss that this was going on?".

:)

I've seen it coming since first grade (he's in fifth now). I kept getting the "It's still normal for kids at this age to . . ." It was finally no longer normal. They tried to buy me off with a GEI (General Education Intervention) and after about 6 months of no progress with the best intervention that they could implement, THEY recommended an IEP. Got it last year. Doing a little more testing now thru the school which, unfortunately, takes quite a while. At the same time, I've started the ball rolling with the pediatrician. I do LOVE his teacher of record this year. I've never worked with anyone as proactive as she is and I think she will be his best chance of being set up to be successful in middle school (next year).

He said, " I was assumed into asking her. Do girls have meetings to decide who should go with who?"

I said yes. He said, " Well, where do they meet? How did I miss that this was going on?".

Awwwww . . . another young man is learning that women rule the world . . . brings a tear to me eye.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure. 
    • Mari
      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
