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,

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. . . . . . ...:). . . ...

      One thing to keep in mind is that it's pretty safe to take a B-complex since B vitamins are water soluble. You just pee out any excess.

      Insomnia help

      Hi @hjayne19 It sounds as if your insomnia is closely linked to your anxiety. I had awful anxiety at diagnosis, and that feeling of doom that you describe. My other symptoms were racing thoughts, and a tangible sensation of a weight bearing down on my shoulders, even if I was feeling perfectly well and happy - it would just hit me. I then got a phobia...

      Hi @trents thanks so much for the insights this helps alot. These were my metrics at celiac diagnosis. In which my diet has since changed over the past 3 months Magnesium: 0.80 mmol/L Vitamin B12: 1021 Vitamin D (25-OH): 102.8 I would say I do get tired after eating more carbs and the only thing that really helps me fall asleep...

      Hi @cristiana   Thank you so much for your reply. This is so helpful. I definitely suffer from anxiety mostly related to health. Brain fog definelty doesn’t help this when it comes. I find my 4 am wake ups are potentially more food related if that’s a possibility (eating enough carbs with protein and fats) and if I eat a small snack before bed to hold throughout the night. I just haven’t been able to help the sudden increase in more days where I can’t fall asleep for hours - it’s those racing thoughts like you describe. I feel like a machine that’s running and can’t shut down.    I will try the epsom salt bath that’s a great suggestion. I think I’m probably working through some other food triggers that may be contributing as well with brain fog.    Anyways sorry to go off. It feels so reassuring finding this community and being able to chat with others. I was definitely feeling a bit crazy until I realized there are many others going through the same thing.

      Hi Jayne Great choice for a gluten-free cycling holiday, I know the island well. The words you need to look for are 'sin gluten' when you are out and about.   I think you will be amazed at how many packets and canned goods are clearly labelled 'sin gluten' in the supermarkets - many more than one sees here - often in quite large type.  There seems to be a thought in the UK that if you label something gluten free it will affect flavour etc and will put people off buying it!  However, in the case of Spain, it is almost as if the the Spanish see it as an endorsement of quality and flavour!  There is a supermarket called Mercadona and they label their produce very clearly. Paella should be gluten free so long as the chef use the right stock such as Knorr or a gluten-free homemade stock - you can check.  Most Mallorquins in catering speak English but if not, ask, "Contiene gluten?"  Tumbet is a wonderful dish if you like peppers, tomato, aubergines, garlic and olive oil!  A sort of variation on ratatouille.   Slow roast lamb shank should be safe, and there are endless fish dishes to choose from and salads.  Flan is made with eggs, sugar and caramel, and should be gluten-free.  Lots of gluten-free ice cream and sorbets, they should be clearly labelled. If you want specific restaurant recommendations, feel free to PM me. Cristiana

      Hi @hjayne19 It sounds as if your insomnia is closely linked to your anxiety.  I had awful anxiety at diagnosis, and that feeling of doom that you describe.   My other symptoms were racing thoughts, and a tangible sensation of a weight bearing down on my shoulders, even if I was feeling perfectly well and happy - it would just hit me.  I then got a phobia to make things worse, linked to the fact that I had was suffering hypnopompic hallucinations (brief hallucinations on waking).  That was weird but I later learned they aren't all that uncommon, especially with people who suffer from aura migraines.   In fact I felt so unwell that I didn't even recognise it as 'anxiety'.  I remember googling my various symptoms and it was only that that  made me realise I was suffering from anxiety, which was nothing like 'feeling a bit nervous before taking an exam' or , say, making a speech.  This was a whole new ball game. As I came off gluten and healed, the anxiety started to get less and less.  It is not uncommon for coeliacs to have anxiety on diagnosis, so I hope that is reassuring to you.   And deficiencies can make it worse, or cause it, so are definitely worth investigating in further depth if you can.   There is certainly a big difference between 'normal' levels and 'optimum', as @trents says, and this excerpt from a British website and explains how with B12,, for example,  a normal level in one person can represent a deficiency in another: In the UK, normal B12 levels vary slightly by lab but generally, above 200 ng/L is considered sufficient, 100-145 ng/L indicates possible deficiency, and below 100 ng/L suggests likely deficiency, though levels between 146-200 ng/L may still warrant treatment if symptoms are present, as per North Bristol NHS Trust and NICE guidelines In fact, I understand levels are set much higher in other countries, such as Japan.  When I started to supplement B12 with high dose sublinguals I began to feel better, even though at diagnosis my levels were considered 'low normal'.    I too had a lot of muscle twitching which was likely due to deficiencies, but of course if someone has a lot of adrenaline in their system it will only make twitching worse.  I remember reading on this forum one should take magnesium tablets, and it did really help.  As a sportsperson you might like to try throwing a good handful of Epsom salts into a lukewarm bath, and have a soak for 20 mins, as it can be absorbed through the skin.  But be careful as you leave the bath, it can make you woozy! Lastly, to address the anxiety,  I found Dr Steve Llardi's book, albeit on Depression, incredibly helpful.  The Depression Cure: The Six Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs.    Dr Llardi outlines a step-by-step plan for recovery from depression, which focuses on six key lifestyle elements that have largely disappeared in healthy doses from modern life:  physical exercise,  omega-3 fatty acids,  natural sunlight exposure,  restorative sleep,  social connectedness, and meaningful, engaging activity.    The other book (and there is a website) which helped me understand anxiety and recover is Paul David's, At Last a Life, written by a one-time sufferer.  I live in the UK and if I could award a knighthood to anyone in this country, it would be to Paul.  I am so grateful that these books crossed my path.   Anyway, sorry for the length of this post.  I hope something might be of help.
