Aw Nik...sometimes tough love is all you can do. Hope it helps him straighten out.

Poor Tel - Shingles are soooo not fun or psilly.

Spare room - Should really like to come to the UK, Olympics or not. Hmmmm....

Keep hearing about these bloody aftershocks, Shrooomie, and wondering how all are faring way down and over there. . . .. .

Will you be ditching the shaking winter ground soon and heading for your summer home?

Sshh, I'm afraid to say it, but they do seem to be moving out to sea a bit and you don't feel them so much out there as when they are under the volcanic rock :blink: But they say we can expect to have them for the next year or two :huh::o although they ARE down from four or five a day. :D

But YESSS!!!! we is leaving them behind shortly, like in about three weeks, whether the roof is finished or not (housesitter says she will see to it :D ) - what a REDTAPE HASSLE that has been :rolleyes: And whether my leg is all better or not, come hell or high water in fact.... whoops, don't tempt fate... and I hear there has been seismic activity in Nevada lately also :unsure:

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

Cheep, cheep - how cute :)

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

So sorry it had to come to this Gnik, but I know it has been a source of terrible frustration for you for a long time. Have been worried about your absence and knew something must be afoot :( But yes, you have to do what you have to do and it may well turn out the best for him too. Have you been able to get some supervision for him?? Sorry, don't mean to be nosy :o

Sorry DK. :( Maybe being out on his own will teach him some sense.

Despite having bought two chargers before going to Spain, I can find nothing with which to charge my camera. :blink: I hate to have to buy a 4th charger...

Heyy Psills - how 're we doing??

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

Hang in there Nik!

How old is he? Tony and I have had a horrible relationship over the past few years and it seems to have turned a corner. I imagine it will get even better when he learns about the cancer.

Sometimes parents have to do the right, not easy, thing. I'm proud of you and am here for you whenever you need to vent.

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Off to the oncologist today. Will keep you all posted.

Hi Psilles,

This will be quick as I don't feel very psilly right now. I got turned down by Disability! Now I have to start the appeal process. I started it online and it's endless. But, I didn't get on here to complain. I just miss you all and wanted to let you know I'll be offline a few days because I can finally have my lumbar and (hopefully) shoulder injections tomorrow. So it will be more rest and pampering for me. Tony comes home on Friday so I'll tell him about the CLL in a few days.

Love & Hugz,

My understanding is that everyone gets turned down the first time. Keep trying.

Hang in there and and hang out here if you need a smile. :)

Hope the injections help. Make Tony do his own laundry! :)

Made quiche, salmon curry, stem chili, did the dishes, mowed 3/4 of the lawn, cleaned the stove top, did the grocery shopping. What should I do now?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
