(((((Whispery voice))))): Glad you had a good night, Rah-shyellle!

Wow... . . . . a good friend of DD's is working at getting a portfolio together for applying into visual arts at university. She has been working on facial portraits, and asked Sophie to pose for her.

Well .. . . ......the stills are awesome. When I look at them I do not, for a second, recognise her - - this is the little, mischievious urchin that has toddled through this house, sat on my lap, crawled into bed with me at midnight, a little frightened ball. ........ . .

Do they really have to grow up?. . . . . . . ... . :(.. . . . . . . ..:wub:. . . .

Maybe an arranged marriage between her & Jeff? I'm sure that's how it's done these days?

Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement from all of you. You all understand Ataxia and how easily falling can happen. Today was the first day that someone said something to me about my hubby and the bruising. She's the first friend I made here and we've gotten very close. She's worried that I'm in an abusive relationship. It hurt to hear that (and also made me a little angry) when she said t because Clark is not that way. I actually think that I have a worse temper than he does (though it's much better now) and I use to be quite the door slammer. We NEVER spanked our son when he was growing up and Souperman and I rarely fight. As I mentioned before we've been married 19 years and together 22. I'm 58 years old and would never stay with anyone who ever raised a hand to me.

AAAARGG - I ned to find out my vitamin deficiencies , get new glasses (a wrong prescription could be causing the falls during the day as well as ataxia) and perhaps see a neurologist. I'm a mess.

Need to be psilly again!!!!! Don't want to be suspended from this thread. I start a painting class on Wednesday so I know that will provide some pfunny stories!!!!!

P.S. Also battling BC/BS and Magellan to get $420 in reimbursement from April through August. Ready to cal BBB or Consumer Affairs. Spent 20 minutes on phone (after holding for 20 minutes) and got cut off when they transferred me.

I woke up pheeling like my broomstick gave me some splinters :ph34r: I don't know exactly why and I'm sure that the tequila had nuthing to do with it.... :ph34r:

:huh:

:lol: :lol:

Ummmm, I realize it's 4pm here, but please stop shouting, I didn't get home till 330am and I'm not sure I was completely sober when I woke up :blink: We still have 1 more party to go to in a half hour. I will not be eating or drinking anything other than water! Twas a phabulous night though! :D

Did you go to the parties with BE (I hope)?

BTW, I'll be offline for about two days stating Wednesday night. I have two girlfriends visiting me from NJ (I know I mentioned it previously). I hope to take them to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut on Thursday and then show them my town (lots of quaint stores ) on Friday. They arrive late Wednesday night (sweet hubby driving me to train station a half hour away because lately my night vision isn't great - I definitely have to get eyes checked). They are catching a 5PM train home on Friday. I'm really excited about seeing them! As I also mentioned in a recent post I went to grad school with them (we did all of our group projects and studying together) and I'm old enough to be thier mother! Anxious to get their input on my tutoring the third grader with dyslexia. I want to make sure I help her and not do any harm.

The day has flown by and I still need to shower (I can thank BC/BS for eating up so much of my day - I think I'll either call them tomorrow or next week. I've been winding up in tears by the end of my calls to them. The owe me $420! I swear they try to wear you down so you give up on trying to get the money back. I won't do that and will take whatever measures I have to in order to get it rectified..

Talk to you later!

Take a look at this. :)

A couple of pros came to our club last weekend and taught us this exact routine. We're gonna do the same thing sometime here in Indy :D

Don't know if you saw the first episode of Oprah's first show of her last season. The Black Eyed Peas performed Tonight's Gonna be a Good Night and there was a flash dance mob. I don't always like Oprah but I LOVE the Black Eyed Peas!!!!! Here's the link.

That looks SO cool (of course I'd worry about falling right now). I use to LOVE dancing. Hubby hates it. Only danced one dance at our wedding (he's a little shy like Klark). When are you going to try it? Hopefully they'll be a youtube of it so we can see!!!

OK, Now I'm REALY going to get my lazy butt into the shower!

She is seventeen... . .... . ....just got her drivers' license.. ...... . :unsure:... ..no boyfriend yet. It would seem that she is too busy with school work, her part-time job and competitive hockey to even notice guys yet. When I was seventeen, my priorities were, in the following order:

1. My boyfriend

2. Other guys

3. My two best girlfriends (old-fashioned BFF's, I'm told)

4. The party on Saturday night

5. School (if there was a test coming, otherwise, not even on the list). . . . ..... .

Gad, how in hell did I graduate, then make it through university?? Standards must have been considerably lower, then. . .. ... .. :rolleyes:

She sounds perfect for J. He would think the hockey thing was cool. Long-distance, they couldn't get into too much trouble. :rolleyes:

I try to ignore it every year, but it sneaks up on me, anyway <_<

They want to get in a few more practices to make sure everyone has it down, but the club only meets twice a month.

I just found out some dancers I know went to Chicago to do it. Biggest one, yet. :jealousphace:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops.
