I though perhaps your name was pronounced differently than the standard "Karen". With the g added I had made it "Car-Eng-Gee" said really fast in my mind. :lol:

Here's a secret- The G is the start of my last name :ph34r:

In my brain I call her both 'Caring' and Ka-regn (like Bahrain).

I used to work with someone named "Kay" and she had this problem too. Whenever I said Okay, even if not talking to her she thought I was talking to her. It was very confusing at times.

If you must have a name besides Manna, y'all can call me Irene. Will that one be sufficient butchering material? :D

Why, yes, that will be sufficient . . . welcome Eye-Reane!

Hey! And what a coincidence! For our Kherrighnne is really caring... . . . ...and... . . .well, perhaps she is also from Bahrain, too! She could have moved to the States as a child. .. . . . .....notice that we've never seen a pic of her face.... . . . . .

Isn't Bahrain one of those countries where everyone gets a share of the oil money? Too bad I'm not from there.

Not orange but darker & a bit brownish. At this point in my life, it depends on how long since I last colored. ;)

There is a pic of me on my profile.

Well, that is great timing, then... . . ....buying new jeans when you feel puny makes anything you try on look decent, I'd bet... . . . ..

I never feel puny. Particularly when I've been glutened - - then I feel HUGE. Phat, bloated... . . . . ..gargantuan. <_<

Hope you're feeling better right quick, Mannnna... . . .

Loey! Um .. . . . ....what is ANA?. . . . . . ..:unsure:. .. . .

Hello dear pfiends.

ANA is an autoimmune disease and can cause Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis. He's had chronic joint pain for years that he's attributed to working out & Martial Arts. We're going to the doctor with him tomorrow. I'm sure that Tony will blame it on dear old mom.

Meanwhile I must have been drinking with you all - I fell last night. Clark thought I was sleepwalking. He & Tony heard a thud & Clark ran up and found me asleep on the floor. Of course my back feels horrible. Seeing my chiropractor in the AM.

Hope everyone is pheeling well -

i miss you!!!

All right, sb2178.. . . . ...the unofficial edict around here is that we need your real name, or a close proximity, so that we can rightly butcher it and make it psilly. Kherrighnne, Jyaghnutt, Jyesssss, Low, leeeesargh, Gnick, Soooooozle, etc.

Suppose we could just sillify your forum name, but it somehow isn't quite as funny.

Stephanie. I yield that bit of info with the requirement that it NOT become step-on-me. irg. Can you just imagine the flat "I'm not amused look" that I gave to school photograph photographers for years on end?

Psillify it otherwise freely. (Pstephanie? too many syllables, perhaps?)

Lacking the wine, I'm going to go make myself a gin and tonic. And I might be back with it.

Ummm . . . we don't actually change your name . . . we just spell it fo-net-ick-lee. We like to use lots of silent letters like g's and h's etc . . . if you mispronounce our spelling, well that's all on you, Ghstefphunee. :P:lol:

I is happily sunburnt. Garden has a slug barrier around it. Trees have been uprooted from the gutters. Assorted unknown vegetative things ripped out and waiting to dry out in the sun. Piles of plastic pots from things that died last year have been tossed.

Startin' on the wine now.

Stymphony, I could like it. Bob's out-- bob is the (invisible) frisbee player who never seems to catch or return it. We think he has issues (shhhh....).

my garden was still overly damp to do more than sneak and handful of spinach and a few peas... sigh.

My gin and tonic is delish tho.

It's wonderful to have you here in our very psilly thread!! How about Elijah Bleu Chaz Rainbow Gaga (or EBCRG)? Just kidding and trying to get my psilly back.

Hugs,

P.S. my nickname in HS when I was bullied was Low-ass but PLEASE don't use that. At the time my arse was low and large!!!! Brings back painful memories.

      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...

      Insomnia help

      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.

I have a follow up appointment soon so will look into those other B vitamin levels.
