I do love reading about your family get togethers laugh.gif

I think they may be on a par with my in laws. ph34r.gif

Crap!, Terry's just discovered he has another sibling (already discovered his aunt was in fact his sister)

This is an older brother who was adopted out - we may get to meet him later in the year. I'm hopeful he may be 'normal' having escaped being dragged up brought up in the same house as Terry and his other 6 siblings.

They drink an awful lot too blink.gif

Really. Always wondered how happy a poor little bird is in a box with other birds?

Shall write a murder mystery based on my in- laws one day. Just afraid I'll get sued or arrested.

My kids aunt is also their Grandma! So her kids, which were younger than my kids, are thier aunts, too (Until they disappeared.) But we knew that all along.

I have a friend that was adopted when she was 4. She knows she had some older sibs. She has no desire to find them, ever! She's afraid they will be awful and want monsy!

My MIL can drive the getaway car... . . . ..

My maternal grandfather lived a good part of his life before he discovered that his sister was really his mother. This sort of thing happened a lot more frequently three generations ago, when a pregnant sixteen-year old was routinely hidden away and then the pretending began.. . . . ...

A serious question (can you imagine? HERE??): Have any of you done any exploring on Ancestry.ca? It is expensive to join, but I find myself very tempted at times, as we know nothing about this grandfather's paternal heritage -- seemingly a teenaged boy who left town right quickly.... . . but there may be info somewhere if I plug in his sister/mother's name, and the small town near Toronto where he was born. . . . .....

Mysteries, mysteries... . ....

Crap.....imagine what we might all discover if we really started digging into our ancestral past? :unsure::unsure:. . . ......Ignorance can be bliss. . . . .. . ...

:rolleyes:

My son uses Ancestry.com. Is that what you mean? I think he's pretty happy with it.

I've done some ancestry stuff, but it gives me a headache. I know that I'm a 4th generation product of the Hatfield and McCoy 'union' My great grandma is in a book that was written about it. All my Canadian relatives we've only dated back to the early-mid 1800's, but I don't know any of their stories. Both sides of my family came from Scotland and Ireland. That's all I know :rolleyes:

Blimey, they missed out a whole lot of stupphh. Didn't even mention cobber (mate) or "I'll give you a bell" (will phone you). no worries (kinda translates to "You're welcome", sweet as - roughly translates as "perfect" or "spot on". No worries, I'll give you a bell and everything will be sweet as :P

I probably said way too much. After intensive snooping, I found out that they went on to a better place. The better place does not have Pearly Gates, just normal cow pasture gates.

We know my mom's great grandpas came from Germany right before the civil war. They fought for the north. There wives came over around that time. My Dad's moms side is shanty Irish Catholics. His dad side is harder to know as they didn't like him marrying a shanty Irish girl. We do know he appears to have a common ancestor with Buffalo Bill. Appears to have been his illegitimate first cousin.

So, I was sitting in the house near the sliding door this afternoon, when I heard a loud racket coming from outside at the back. As most of you know, we have a large walk-out deck behind the house. It was a pounding noise, coming from the deck. I looked out and this is what I saw:

That's a Open Original Shared Link, pounding on the railing.

It seems that a Open Original Shared Link had made her nest there, and the woodpecker found it. Here is the through-and-through damage to the railing. The arrow marks where you can see right through:

So sorry abotu your (son?). I hope they will figure it all out soon. Does he have celiac? The bloody stool thing happens to me when I get a large amount of gluten cc, and back in the day when I was in college I bled out of my ears the mornings after I drank beer. I stopped drinking for the most part before I even turned 21 because I got so sick from just one drink.

He had the genetic testing for celiac last year and was negative. The doctor (rheumatologist he saw re lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) thinks it was a hemorrhoid. He has a follow up visit next week. if it's not better he'll send him to a GI. It's going to be the practice I left because of the A hole doctor but he'd see a different doctor in the practice. Today he went to PT and his therapist thinks he might need surgery on his ankle. Tony says he refuses to do it and because he's 19 we can't force him. I'll let Clark handle this one. My main concern (other than wanting him well and his therapist is concerned it will continue to deteriorate) is that it's done while we have insurance.

Speaking of that Clark has an interview tomorrow so please say some prayers and have everything crossed (eyes included)!

Had a LOVELY visit with my girlfriend. I'm over my bad sunburn and can handle the beach if I go early, use a high sun screen and only stay for an hour. It's also less crowed then. So we went to the beach and then took a ride to the wealthy (hoity toity) part of Westerly (Watch Hill) and window shopped.

Still wish we could teleport for a big CLL Psilly Forum party! Looking forward to seeing anyone near DC when I attend a conference with Rob in the fall (if he can go).

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Thanks for the update Loey! I hope he sees another dr that can help. If he has Lupus or RA I've heard a small percentage of people find a gluten-free diet to help relieve their symptoms. So maybe you could suggest it, but sounds like he's a typical stubborn teen. I'll pray for his health and for Clark's interview.

Thanks dear lady (and all other well wishing psillies)!

Clark phoned and said he thinks that the interview went well. I'll get more details when he gets home (it's about an our and a half commute). Tony is still bleeding and will see the !@#hole GI I left tomorrow (it's the only appointment we could get). Clark is taking him because I don't want to have to see his face. I will probably want a second opinion from my GI but our PCP is on vacation and I need a referral to see the good doctor. The one he's seeing did the DNA testing so Tony's already his patient - hence taking him quickly. Just trying to stay positive. I've gotten good about staying positive about Clark and myself but the thought of Tony needing a colonoscopy (and bleeding rectally) throws me into s(mother) mode and scares me.

Sorry for complaining. I know this thread is not for that. I hope you all know I appreciate each and every one of your psilly souls!

Lots of love wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
