Off to catch the 6:20 boat. I've missed that crowd since I've been on a later ferry all summer.

I wrote him a lovely email designed to remind him of all the wonderful things we had together, and all the amazing sex he now won't be having, and ended it with this:

But I don't miss you. I realize now that I thought you were someone else. The person that I miss was never real. So like a well written love story that makes you sniffle in the end, I will tuck the last year into the "fun, but fantasy" category of my mind.

So, to whoever you actually are, I hope that you find what you want out of life.

D'ya think I hit the right note? I gave him the morning, in case he had any interest in responding, but now I've blocked his address from my email so I can fully close the door. I like to know that things are completely done.

I'm sorry it ended, and glad you're ok ;)

Hello Dear Ones, Sorry I've been out of touch for so long but a lot has been going on. I'll begin with the good news. I GOT DISABILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'ts retroactive to 1/1/01 and my lawyers get abut $2000 but it was well worth it. If anyone ever needs to apply for it (I hope you never do) I highly recommend finding a good lawyer and using them from the git go. My surgery took much longer to recuperate from than I expected (I guess it takes a while when they drill a hole in your head). The results were fibrodysplasia. It means there's soft tissue where there should be bone. No tumor, thank God. I've been diagnosed with Lupus (which could be the cause of a lot of my other symptoms. I also have a fracture in my lower back from a fall I took about 5 months ago. My leukemia is somewhat stable. My lymphocytes doubled but my oncologist doesn't seem too concerned. My mother-in-law from my first marriage just passed and we were very close. She was 91 and until the last few years was very active. She was in Oregon and I was supposed to visit her right when the celiac hit me. I feel extremely blessed to have a wonderful spouse (he treats me like a queen) a maturing son, and a great group of doctors who all work together. I also feel blessed to have each and every one of you in my life.I have a library of books on positive thinking (there are a lot of hysterical books written by cancer survivors and many can apply to other illnesses. I do get down in the dumps but pick up a book or make earrings. Missing my friends in NJ is the hardest part. I hope you're all doing well and know how much I love and miss you. Your support has seen me through this!Lo P.S. At least you had good sex Jess!!!

kareng Grand Master

Good to see you, Lo! I have seen you reading along & was wondering how you were doing.

The Disability $ will be a blessing. I don't think you can get it without a lawyer. Goverment buracracy!

At least they seem to be figuring out waht is wrong with you. That way you can deal with it.

Hope Tony is enjoying college. J is loving it! All kinds of physical activities like rock wall climbing, sand volleyball tournaments, co-ed inner tube water polo! He is helping the high school robotics team & has applied to work on a NASA robotics grant project. Not sure if he is taking any classes. :P

Rest up & feel better.

Jestgar Rising Star

Hugs Lo-Lo!!! I have been wondering about you and I'm glad things are heading in a positive direction.

Loey Rising Star

Just found out that my retro from disability will be $18,000 after the lawyers are paid. They got $5000 but every penny was worth it. I'd probably still be muddling along through the paperwork. My first disability payment will come the 3rd week in November. It doesn't pay as much as unemployment did but that's because I took 10 years off to raise Tony and didn't contribute to the system. I won't get medicare for two years but we're covered by Clark's job for a year and then he can buy cobra. I'm certainly making the most of his medical.

I can't imagine him not finding some kind of work within the year. This might all turn out to be a good thing and allow him to reinvent his career. He spent 27 years dissecting and analyzing rat brains so enough is enough. When we were first dating he gave me two rat brain slides and I made them into earrings. They were lost long ago but they were a sweet and psilly gift. At the time I was making big bucks at CBS and he was at his first job. I can't believe it was 23 years ago. Our 20th anniversary is on the 6th. Time flies.

Well this post isn't psilly but it is good news!!!

Love, wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

P.S. Jess, glad the break-up was mutual and not extremely painful. You (and everyone here) deserve the best because that's what you are! You have all been my lifeline since I joined. Where else can you turn at 3 AM and can't sleep and know that you won't be alone and will be laughing. I signed up for a CLL Forum but it's just not the same. You've all become my family. biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

7 hours helping someone move. Gads. Exhausted. There were I think 8 of us helping them, but some left early and one guy came late. Made me want to come home and just start throwing stuff away. D'ya really need 15 boxes of Christmas stuff? Fortunately we moved the wine last so it was easy to get to. Filled my truck twice with wood, and trailer half full of wood (the rest of his trailer was full of giant potted plants).

mushroom Proficient

Yeah, as long as the wine is on top and readily available, it can make it all worth while :) I personally don't think friends should help friends move unless finances are dire -- a quick way to turn them into former friends :P

I didn't know you were just down the street from me!

These people were moving in with a pick- up full of the largest house plants ever! Missed the truck full of wood.

Jestgar Rising Star

These were outside plants. Those giant half barrels and other humungoid things. They had movers do the furniture, but I didn't hear why they didn't have them do everything. The hubby has MS and is on disability, and they have a house in CA that they haven't been able to sell, so I imagine they keep track of the funds.

Feeling a little stiff this morning. Can't decide if I'm doing the long walk or not. I'll see if coffee provides some sort of motivation.

"Take a shorter walk & see if things loosen up. Then you can go farther." This is Cooper, my personal trainers advice to me everyday. Sure enough, Cooper loosens up & makes stiff me go farther. :D

Don't see any drunken post-wedding posts from Ray-shell! :(

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. 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/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      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."

      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.
