Madeleine is running track now. Her biggest problem.... She runs like a girl :huh: Knees nearly together, arms flailing. She looks like Sandra from that show 227...'member that?? :lol::lol: We're trying to teach her to run like a boy, or at least a normal girl but it's not working. She's getting faster, she just doesn't look any better :lol::lol:

Bonus though, her increase in speed landed her a full handstand from a sprint on the vault on Monday. Then I was the dork, I stood up and whooped from the stands. There's a 100 kids out there... Everyone looked at me like I was the fool :rolleyes:

OK, my life is officially material for a sitcom. I have to delay all of my procedures (shots for shoulder and back and removal of lymph node) because I have two blocked aortic arteries and now have to have cardiac catheterization next week possibly followed by immediate angioplasty. I'm actually finding it all rather amusing. I'm calm and trust my doctors. I''m more worried about Clark than me.

Does this all ban me from the psillie thread? Now THAT would break my heart!

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Sounds like you're going in for a complete overhaul, Loweeee!By the time yer done, you'll be good for another hundred thousand miles!

....and don't even THINK that you can get rid of us!

Hi Psilles,

Just a quick note before I head back to bed to let you know that things went well yesterday and the result showed that I have hypertension (treatable with meds). The worst thing about the procedure were 1) it took 4 tries to find a vein (and the IV specialist) and 2) I had to lie on my back for 6 hours (ouch). Now I can reschedule the other procedures. Thanks for all the love and positive energy. Can't wait to get back online regularly and also visit other threads in case all of my illnesses can help anyone else. The psillie thread is my home!!

Hugz,

Loey

Indeed, we will. :)

Ya gotta hurry back, here, Low.. . . .. ..there's another addictive thread-on-fire afoot here, and it's being frequented by many a Psilly... . . .. . requiring knowledge of songs and singers, I'm afraid, and I'm much sillier than I am proficient at recalling names. Therefore, I pop over there, struggle, and leave for a while. :lol:

Mulberry, the little silkie, is too small to get up on the shoe box with the big kids and she'll cry pitifully when they're all up there and she can't jump up so I put a tea box next to the shoe box so she can double hop to get up with everyone else. :) :) She also falls off the other side, but that's a whole different issue. :P

Was looking up a recipe on line and this is part of the instructions:

Let the soup cool for a few minutes, then transfer to the blender and carefully blend at high speed until smooth. Do I have to remind you to do this in stages, with the blender's lid firmly held down, and with the weight of your body keeping that thing from flying off and allowing boiling hot mushroom pur

:lol: :lol: Poor boy is exhausted. I left him home alone to sleep. He was already napping on the couch when I left, so I expect he'll be out cold soon. He tends to hog the bed, so I didn't get much sleep last night and I'm looking forward to being out cold shortly.

Wore him out did you?? Hard night, hard day....:lol:

On a more genteel note, the delights of a fall garden. Wandered out in the late sunlight, picked some apples for an apple cobbler, a couple of artichokes, and some hydrgangeas which have faded to a glorious dusky pink/blue/green combination for a bit of decoration. Cold blast of early winter approaching tonight. :( Nevermind. In a couple of weeks we should be getting our roof repairs and our soapstone fireplace repairs, and these damnable aftershocks can quit already!!! :angry:

Heyy Psills - how 're we doing??

I have chickens in my pocket. :ph34r::P :P

Seriously need a picture of them!!

Lots of change is aphoot over 'ere.

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

This saddens & troubles me as he is only 16yrs old but simply CANNOT have him threatening me. - the stress was enormous living with his behaviour dry.gif

LOts & lots of stuph has gone on - mostly hideously embarassing for me to admit as I gave birth to him rolleyes.gif but we've finally reached the end of the line.

Our eldest son (22yrs) is also moving out (but under normal circumstance...will be flat sharing with a pal. Bachelor pad!! tongue.gif)

Soooo with just Alzey at home I'm feeling a slight 'empty nest' syndrome.

The upside is with the 2012 Olympics coming I've got 2 empty beds for any psills who wanna come wink.gif!!!!

What else....OH, and Tel's got shingles dry.gif Think stress had a part to play in that tho'

Carry on yooz peeps smile.gif

Gnickkers! I am really sorry to hear about DC. :( It sounds like something that had to happen, however... . . . ...and his moving out will bring positive change to your everyday life, for certain, and this is good. Perhaps it will end up bringing good things his way, as well.. . . ..it can only get better, right? Thinking o' youse.. .. ...:wub:

So, I'VE got first dibs on DC's bed for those sixteen days in 2012... . . . ...

Tel's got shingles on 'is face. .. ....:( .. Jyessss's got chickens in 'er pocket. . . . . . ...:). . . ...

      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. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
