DD is moving into her residence on Sunday. Not a long drive for us -- perhaps 15 km -- but we'll have two stuffed cars. What in hell? Why is she taking two enormous suitcases full of clothing? She gets on a bus, comes home and grabs her winter sweaters in a couple of months....

Anyways, her room is on the fifteenth floor of one of the main res buildings -- the top floor, and there is no air conditioning. We are all hoping for a cool September. Also, the elevators, for whatever the reason, only stop at even floors. We have a sizeable bar fridge, dresser, huge suitcases and bags to haul up two flights of stairs from the fourteenth floor. :huh:

Dear gawd... . . ... .. .and how much is all this costing us?? <_<

Dratted "multi-quote" doens't wqrk on this computer.

J is on the 4th foor. 1 small elevator that gave out part way thru move-in.

But you gain a confident, beautiful, intelligent adult who (eventually) respects you and thinks you are wonderful.

And one who can support themselves!

Are you taking him any peanut butter cookies so he can show the girls what they are supposed to taste like? :D

Yes. I'm baking them this afternoon & freezing for freshness.

Yes, well!... . . On the homemade baked goods front, Sophie is getting, let's see... . ...approximately.... .... . . ..... . . .nothing. :lol: We're paying most of her tuition, she can do her own damn baking.

I lived on the 12th floor of the dorms and the elevators were very intermittant. Was 107 degrees the weekend I moved in.... No elevators :blink:

Hello my psilies,

I've missed you all a lot. I actually had the pleasure of having a daughter all week (without the labor and very well behaved). Tony couldn't have been happier. Yesterday we brought him to school and thank God he has a single and doesn't have t deal with the roommate from hell. It's so different this year because he has a great set of friends and they all live in either the same suite or nearby.

Things have been up and down for Clark and I. He never heard about the job and also was rejected from URI (big surprise to us). My lymphocytes have almost doubled and I'm feeling like hell (that's why I haven't been online). But enough whining. Just wanted to let you know how much I miss and treasure you all.

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Haven't heard how the move went? Are you sprawled in a stairwell under a dresser whilst college students climb over you on thier way to a party?

This is what they are doing at my kids school! J actually didn't go because he wanted to play soccer in the gym. He said 8 kids were hospitalized with alcohol poisoning.

Whoa.. . ..... . .were I a new eighteen year-old alumnus there, I'd be all over that gathering (and believe that I was, twenty-some years ago. .. ..)... as a mom, I would be thanking the fates that my kid wasn't there.

Funny,, , ,,,same person, completely different reaction to a situation. :rolleyes:

We moved Sophie into her tiny dorm room on Saturday. It was 90 F here, with a blistering sun. All of the boxes and furniture were slipping from my sweat-soaked hands and arms....down stairs, off the dolley, onto my feet.... ..

Gawd, I needed manna's in-laws there.. .. ....they tend to deposit junk, but I think they move boxes, correct? :lol:

She went to a frosh party that night, and a musical the next evening, and a big gathering at the Olympic-sized campus pool the next night, where everybody was given a blow-up floaty mattress and they all lay in the water, floating around and watching a movie that was being shown on the huge overhead screen....

It all sounds like such a drag.

I cannot imagine why I have NOT heard from her since Sunday morning.

Isn't awful the things they expect those college kids like J & Sophie to do? Swimming parties, beach volleyball tournies, wall climbing, mt biking, movies, etc. Poor things have no time or energy for classes & homework.

Hi My Dear Psillies

Hope you are all doing well and not affected by our never ending weather conditions. I wanted to touch base because I might be offline (againsad.gif) for a while.

On Tuesday they are going in to remove and biopsy a small mass in my left frontal sinus cavity (cause of my migraines over the past 5 months). I also tested positive for ANA and my rheumatologist thinks it's Lupus. Then my PCP called and said to not drink alcohol or take tylenol because my liver count was abnormal ( that word makes me think of young frankenstein and abbynormal then I start thinking of the dance number and that makes me laugh). Nothing's going to keep me from laughing!

We're going to Clark's cousin's for the weekend and I wish I missed the no alcohol call until after we returned. I am getting to the point where I'm finding all of my health issues amusing and at some point disability mad.gif has to cave laugh.gif.

The best news is that my celiac has vastly healed and I think 99% of it has to do with all of you!!!

I'll probably be online before Tuesday but I wanted to 'splain my disappearance in case I don't get a chance.

Love you all,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Once they get the rocks out of your brain, your headaches should go away! :P

Now really, if they took the rocks out of our brains, what would we do with all that empty space?

You guys are depressing me! I don't want to lose my babies!!!!

Ahhhhhh......reminding me of that unique smell of a guy's dorm room..... :rolleyes:

The toilets... Oh gosh, the toilets!!! I would go back to my floor of the dorms just to use the bathroom. Nor would I step foot in their showers!! Ummmm, wait.... No mom, I didn't have any reason to use their showers... :lol:

I just watched the documentary 'Forks Over Knives' It might be something interesting for you to check out. There's a ton of scientific research about it.... Want you better!!!!!!!!!

In J's dorm, each room of 2 boys has a bathroom. It is professionally cleaned hosed out every 2 weeks. There is a drain in the middle of the floor!

J chose these cute silver with glass shelves to put in the bathroom. I imagined them putting the roll of TP,stacked neatly on one shelf, one kids extra shampoo, etc on a shelf, the others on the other. They took the whole pack of TP & laid it on a shelf. They had swim trunks and soccer socks drying on the other shelves.

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
    • knitty kitty
      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
