When I first joined the psillies and wanted to hear the story of Jess and BE I read the thread from the start of their relationship. I really have to get a life (other than going to doctor's offices)! Hey, at least today's doctor's appointment is just for eyeglasses - no poking and prodding. Tomorrow is the follow-up with the Oncologist and Friday the Neurologist. Get new shots in my spine next week and the following week I see the cardiologist (where he will give me a drug to stimulate a stress test) and finally my PCP and then it looks like April is free and clear- YAY!!!!! Now Clark just needs a job. No word from the place he interviewed

Good luck! Keep us posted! Hub paid our $5 to have Internet service here, so I hope you have something good to report!

You know they charge Hay-Nuss fees for suitcases over the weight limit . . . Lisa, I know you've lost a lot a weight but I'm guessing you're not under 50 pounds.

Happy St. Patty's to all my psillies!

Update: Went to the oncologist and got good news. I'm in the "watch and wait" stage of CLL and might be around 30 years to annoy everyone (especially Clark). I have to have some CT Scans to rule out anything that might have been missed but now I see her every 3 months to see how my white cel count is. If there are any drastic changes then I need to start talking about therapy and have the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy for a baseline. I really like her. She made a point of saying that she is never offended if a patient wants a second opinion and is happy to recommend a doctor if I want or I can look on my own. Tomorrow I see the Neurologist for his findings and next week I get the needles in my back again (this time using an Xray instead of trigger points) and then I have a stress test at the cardiologist induced by a drug as I can't handle a treadmill, etc right now.

Already had me cornbeef and cabbage at the Irish Deli. I bought 6 portions as a takeout treat instead of making my own.

I hope you all know how much I appreciate the support and kindness - can't imagine life before the forum (especially the psillies).

Love,

YAY!!!!

My CT scan showed small, benign lymph nodes. Small meaning less than 1 1/2 cm. Now at 6 weeks and still swollen, though. I have another appointment in 2 weeks.

I've gotta feeling that no matter how many tests, they're gonna tell me I'm fine <_<

I'll be sending positive energy that your swelling goes down and the docs have a reason to tell you your fine!!!!!

Ladies in a Sauna

THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER
, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED.

THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR.

WHEN SHE FINISHED
TALKING
, SHE EXPLAINED,
"
THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.
"

THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH.
BUT
NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.

SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.

THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.

THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID:
WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT.......I'M GETTING A

FAX!!

Good!!! . . . It was time for you to get some good news!! . . . Glad you like your oncologist.

My CT scan showed small, benign lymph nodes.

Good for you too . . . although, time for you to get rid of the swelling. Maybe things will improve now that the weather is finally turning around. Not sure why that would help, but it just seems like we all need an airing out and get some fresh air in our schools houses offices lungs.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
