Have found the name of the health care system. Angela is in Newfoundland or Labrador.

She's Canadian. Gives me an in.. . . . .....

Also, did you notice the jug is about 1/4 full? :ph34r:

Hmmm... . . ... ..this could mean that she was admitted to hospital for kidney problems... . . ...she's what, 66? Looks like a decent room, kind of spacious. . ....she can afford a private room, methinks.. . .. ....that gets costly up here. So I believe that Angela is a well-off senior citizen with voidance/ nephrological issues. Okay, time to message her. .. . .. .. ...B)

I messaged an Angela from NL. Her birthdate may be 1962. It looked like a 2 at the end of the date when I looked at it again.

I keep checking FB to see if she responds. :unsure:

Kherrighnne, I canna find her.. . . . .:huh: .. . .there is no listing for Newfoundland, CANADA, only a few Newfoundlands in the States. How did you get her profile?

Could we somehow convincingly tie this hospital stay/disturbingly small collection of urine to celiac disease? That might offer me a smooth introduction, somehow.. . . ... .and I could get her on here.....SO many symptoms are recognized as possible indicators of celiac - -how about not peeing enough?

:rolleyes:

Still haven't heard from Angela. With my luck she is one of those people that only check her fb once every few weeks. :huh:

Or I scared her... :ph34r:

When I put the name in and searched, she was # 35 ish. She has a pic of herself with a man on the left and a younger on the right ( hub & son?). She lives in NL so I think this must be her. Am waiting for the FB police to come for me for stalking. :)

biggrin.gif Well the good news first.........the Dr just called and the stools tests ( we are all about pee and poop on this thread arent' we?) and the

C-Diff is biggrin.gifGONE FOR NOW!!!

biggrin.gifLet's hear it for Doctors who finally get it, research it and listen to their patients and look outside the box into the whole person.

I can only share this good news first with the friends on silly thread who have stuck by me and cared and supported me. I Know the odds of it coming back are there but for now I just want to celebrate. biggrin.gif

I've had a slow computer all day and have done 3 posts on here but the emoticons when i got to copy people keep me from posting so keep losing it.

Will go back and see if i can find some i wanted to comment on.

I know Em's orange jug was one...........I'm a dull knife in the drawer today.......and yesterday as thought it was Em's jug...........oye..........now the sillies are looking for the Real Angela...........OMG what a group we are.

kareng Grand Master

Judy,

So glad the nasty c dif is gone!

Let us know how the bisquick pot pie went. That sounds yummy!

mushroom Proficient

Yay Judy, good news. That stuph is nasty to get rid of.

I am sitting here in a stupor, paralyzed by the stupidity, incompetence, and just plain "don't care" attitude of the folks we must do business with. I have been trying for a month to get my prescription for Humira sorted to take back with me - we leave Wednesday. A shipment arrived on Friday - yeay - for one month!!! :angry::unsure::huh: This was supposed to be a year. Needless to say it was not a pleasant weekend because the Medco staff who are on on the weekend really can't do anything. I had three people promise to call me back and not one did. I was on the phone at 7:00 a.m. this morning because I was told (on Sunday) that our insurance hadn't authorized it, but when I talked to them they kicked me back to the insurance company. THEN I was told there was an appeals form to be filled out for the insurance company (they have changed the procedure :rolleyes: )that no one in the last month had mentioned anything about (they all told me it was approved) and so I ended up with a six-month approval instead of twelve, but it was too late to ship it to me so I had to find a local pharmacy and then convince my doctor's nurse to call in the prescription for 6 months to the pharmacy which, after 4 calls, she finally did 10 minutes or so ago. I have spent the whole day on the phone.... And all this with a totally lost voice - I am Patteigh this week, all I can manage is a croak, a squeak, or a tremolo gruff if that makes sense. Some peeps even hung up on me because they thought it was a crank/joke call. I am exhausted..... .:unsure: and tired and ready to sit down and have a good cry, and so not packed and haven't cleaned..... Oh well, tomorrow is another day :rolleyes:

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

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 superintendent again)mad.gif

Rachelle...both you and Janet are fighting the FIGHT with schools. Tell your hubby good luck and go get um......for me!

Janet at least you have a good teacher who is proactive so it will fall into place but the systems are sooooooooooo slow........we had Jason tested privately as the tester in our school system was a dolt.ph34r.gif

Yep, women rule for sure

Em always trying to find the celiacs and bring um to the sillies' wouldn't it something

If she's got ultra-long eyelashes, thinning hair, small patches of dermatitis on her face, perhaps a pinched, exhausted look in her eyes from constipation, bloating and/or lack of sleep, hell, she could very well belong over here wif us ... . .. . . . ... :lol:

Hubby was watching Lord of the Rings the other night and said "We need to go to New Zealand". I said "Yep, and I got us a free place to stay". I'll let you know when to expect us.

Ugh....why does it have to be so hard :angry:

CONGRATS TO JOODEIGH!!!!!!!!! biggrin.gif

Yer phinally kicked c-diff's arse!!!

Shroomie!...UGH!! So sorry!....I can only IMAGINE the trouble you have getting the Humira set up when you travel regularly.

Terry has enough probs getting his delivered to our home - even though it's on prescription.

We've NEVER been brave enough to try and take it abroad!!

The fact that it needs to be in a fridge AND that it costs MEGA £££££'S seems to render people incapable of action blink.gif

"We need to go to New Zealand". I said "Yep, and I got us a free place to stay". I'll let you know when to expect us.

Yup laugh.gif

Hubs and I also have the same conversation, - also including varying parts of the US and Canada.

      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.
