Coffee is an essential nutrient for humans, unlike gluten which we can happily live without. ;)

Hi Dear Psilles,

Just popping in to say hi. My bug turned out to be pneumonia and I've been completely wiped out. Also we discovered that the pain I was attributing to celiac is scoliosis. Having a lumbar MRI to make sure there's no cancer there. Clark is still figuring out his future. He spoke to his boss about staying o longer to get data to publish from his work. It would make his bosses and Pfizer look good. He told his boss I have cancer. He has decided to go to U of RI (very inexpensive for residents) for a Masters in Biomedical Engineering. He'll take the pre-requisite courses while still working in Groton and then when he's laid off he'll go full time. We have Tony's tuition for Brown for next year and hope that he'll get scholarships and financial aid once Rob is unemployed. I finally convinced Rob (with the help of a wise 15 year old) that I need to tell Tony about my health even if I remain in watch and wait for decades. We'll wait until he's home for the summer.

Miss you all big time and you all keep my spirits high.

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Loey! Hope you are feeling better!

You must tell Tony. My boys would be horrified if they weren't told right away. When a good friend had colon cancer, J was about 4 or 5 and said to tell him the truth. He wanted to be prepared and have time to understand. M is the same way. Don't think Tony hasn't noticed you are sick when he is home. I thought my boys didn't notice how bad I was getting. A few weeks ago, J mentioned how tired I had been.

Yup, I concur, Low. Methinks you should tell him. You will be very surprised at how much he will help you. :)

Thinkin' about you lots, Loweeee. I'm so glad you've updated us. :wub:

What's the name of it?! I can't bend over right now in fear that my chin will blow up! Hurts soooooo bad!!!!

Epiduo. I've been using samples so far. Gonna try to get the prescription filled today. There may be problems with insurance paying for it because, evidently, it is also good for wrinkles, and considering my age...... well, we'll see.

Wanted to quote and comment on all the psilliness but my multiquote is still not working :angry:

Tired of separate responses.......and PeOter was here and didn't offer any advice! :o

Jess's civcebs and Etta's and Jyan-nut's advice..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Everyone's coffee dilemma....... :P. No issues here.....mine's instant ;)

Gotta love Weird Al!

.....and Lowee.....hope Clark gets to stay on awhile longer. Sounds like he has a good game plan, anyway.

Looks like you are slowly getting answers....hang in there, girlfriend.

....and yes, definitely tell Tony. I know you were probably thinking it best to wait til you have the whole picture, so he won't worry that it's something more serious than it is (not saying it isn't serious, of course), but he's an adult. He would be angry if he were left out of the loop.

This is a reply to all of my dearest psilles. I don't know if you can possibly understand how much your love, kindness and support is helping me. This morning Clark discussed possibly suing Pfizer if they won't extend his time there. They totally uprooted us with false promises and I'm in no condition to relocate anywhere. Hopefully it won't come down to that as he gets along well with his two bosses and if they can do something they will.

Love to you all!

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      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.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      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.
