2 days without new posts! How will we crown a new monarch?

I agree - that's 2 days too long!!!!

Well I had a lovely bit of afternoon delight (TMI?) with Clark while Tony was at the gym. Since we don't know how long the surgery will lay me up we've been like two teenagers. It's like being courted again. I get my meals in bed and quite a bit of pampering. Tony's pampering me also. He's baking gluten-free desserts. He made yummy brownies last night but he baked them in a cookie tray. We had just moved in here last year and he first developed a love for baking during the 2nd semester of school (with a girl he likes). He didn't know where I kept my 8X8 pan and didn't want to mess up the kitchen too badly (he baked them at 2AM to surprise me in the morning). The brownies were awesome. Half were chewy and half were like a chocolate chip cookie. He's doing all the things he knows I want him to do without being asked. This is big because he was fairly rebellious last year after being yanked from NJ and all his friends.

Just in case I'm offline for a while (surgery Tuesday AM) I wanted to thank you all for everything you've done. When I joined last October I was a mess. Living in a new state, sick as !@#$, finding new doctors (and medical conditions) and feeling really lonely when Clark wasn't here. You have all been a lifeline for me. I've learned (and continue to) so much, made amazing friends and above all laughed. You have become my family and I wub.gif you all!!!!

OK, enough soppiness! Time for me to be psilly. Went to see Paul Simon Wednesday night (great concert) and it seems as if ticket master recognizes Clark's credit card number and always seats us behind some strange brew of people. This concert was no different. The people in front of us (around my age) drank a lot of beer and alternately left for the bathroom. Every time one of them got up 5 others had to stand and let them pass. It was like the wave at a football stadium except that's not the way you want it at a concert (especially if you're vertically challenged). So after the first two times we're starting to get angry. By the third time I started laughing which spread to Clark and Tony. I laughed so hard I cried. Finally The upbeat calypso music (Diamonds on The Soles of Her Shoes) went into the Sound of Silence and all was well with the world. We have one concert left (U2) and then we are done until Clark finishes getting his Master's and gets a new job. U2 was a rescheduled concert from last year. We're using that as a vacation and will spend a week in NJ visiting friends. Tony is staying a week longer (he was already approved for the time off at work).

OK, I've chewed your eyes off enough. If I'm not online tomorrow (I might cook two or three dinners in advance) I'll catch up with you as soon as it's comfortable to sit at my computer. Our laptop died so I can't visit from bed or my couch.

Hugs,

Loey

2 days without new posts! How will we crown a new monarch?

Things are slow. Ah, for the busy days in January of 2009. Susie (DingoGirl) was crowned and then went away for a few days. When she came back, she was no longer queen. It took just two days to push her off the throne. :o

Only reason I is on here is avoidance of tasks which MUST be done before I leave, and therefore they are getting ignored :unsure:

Well, not exactly avoided - it is a protective mechanism. You see, I start one job, create two more, so I figure I am farther ahead by doing nothing :blink:

Nowt much to tell, t'was marshalling for a local 5 mile race at the weekend.

My job was to write down their bib numbers as they some through the finish line. I did like the power the clipboard and pen gave me.... but came a cropper when 5 people all crossed the line altogether & I couldn't get their #'s down quick enough (cue 'clipboard laydee' running after said runners ph34r.gif)

Loey, wishing you all the best for Tuesday - hope to see you back online soon!!

Low! Whilst there for your concert, you may wanna spend some time driving along the NJ freeways checking for hitchhikers - - this made quite a story up here:

Gah! Psilly Psinging.. . .... . ..can we manage both simultaneously?

I agree that many o' those blokes over on the song thread have great psilly potential. . . . .think we need to initiate an active recruitment program post haste. In the dying pages of my reign, I will take care of it. . . . .. B)

Turning in my paper today. The instructions are: analyze one of the following papers - and it's worth 30% of our grade. :blink: I have no idea if I did what he wanted or not.

Only taking one class during summer (maybe) and it's a programming lab with no homework/tests/etc. And only two credits. I am soooo excited about having the summer off (well, except for the intensive stat modules at the end of June). Gonna clean up two years worth of overgrowth around the house. :D

It is not required to read all the pages just jump right in. Perhaps tell us something psilly about yourself. If your not sure if your life is psilly, that's OK. Tell us somethings & someone will make it Psilly. :o

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      These are labeled gluten-free: https://www.amazon.com/Corn-Husks-Tamales-Authentic-Flavorful/dp/B01MDSHUTM/

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
