How did these come out?

It's on my list for this weekend. Things got really crazy with my sister's wedding so I was back to making casseroles and soup for a few weeks. Anything that was quick and easy!! Been cooking a lot the last few days, trying out some new recipes... the pumpkin bricks muffins and all ;)

I'll let you know!!!

So glad to SEE you back with us dear Joodie. A friend just brought me some weed so Clark and I will partoke and watch a movie. I was quite the smoker in the old days so we'll see how much it takes to get high. Clark always wants more so I kind of dole it out. All I know is I won't care about the pain. When I get the official medical marijuana card it won't be easy to get any for a while (except when my friend can get it) because RI is only opening 3 compassion centers and the governor keeps holding it up. I'll keep you posted. Came home from taking a friend out for dinner for her BD and Tony had called Clark to see if we could take him out to dinner tonight. We're going to take im to Outback tomorrow. I'm thrilled that he called. I hope it's because he misses us and everything is all right. OK, off to get wasted.

Love to you all,

Loey

P.S. this is a copy and paste from the psilly emails.

Here's another copy and paste from the psilly email. I'm too wasted to type it twice. Wish you were all here. What an amazing party it would be.My dearest friend up here's fiance gets it for me but he's had a hard time finding it. This batch is great (but won't last). Right now it's 1:10 EST and I got up to go to the bathroom and as usual couldn't go back to sleep so here I am. A new thing I learned about Clark when he's partoked is that there's a 10 second delay between me asking him something and him answering. I can actually count the delay.We got the munchies and found everything on TV to be funnier than usual. He also gives me foot massages when we're stoned. Clark also talks more about his hopes and dreams for us. There's a job that would be half the $ he was making before but it's something he might really like to do so he's going to apply.

Judy, MJ does help my pain - it sorta makes me not care that it's there. Yes Tony's my son. Clark said he was sick - I worry about him and Lupus. He tested positive but then when retested his numbers are all right. I worry that he's going to catch a lot of my genetic health issues. (time for positive thinking about him as well as myself - I've mastered being positive for myself but when your child keeps getting sick it's another story

I want to post pics of us but I have trouble posting pictures on the forum - still having trouble with the pixels. I might be ale to send one from my iPhoto as email.

Off to try to find decent iPhotos.

Love,

Loey!... glad the MJ gives you some relief! ...... I did giggle about the time delay when you asked hubby a question wink.gif

I've been following the email - some old skool psillie going on there! laugh.gif

Not psillie or phunny but thought I'd update you guys....

Those of you on FB will know after weeks of poor Alzy complaining of leg pains that multiple DVT's in his groin were found.

Treatment started immediately with warfarin tablets and heparin injections (we do them)

He now has to go to an anti - coagulant clinic once a week to have a finger prick blood test to see if his blood is at target levels (the warfarin aims to make it less sticky)

Last weeks 'INR' blood test was way too low so his meds have been upped. Every time his bloods are out of range he has to have a full blood draw (from crook of his elbow) . Al has decided this & the daily injections give him the creeps and makes him want to be sick dry.gif (I'm thinking our resident diabetics can relate!)

Alz also had an appointment this week about an enlarged lymph node in his neck & groin . Further blood tests are showing a few things are not right so he's had a stomach and neck ultrasound (waiting on results) and is to have a small op where there take a lymph node out from his armpit and examine it.

After weeks of traipsing back and forth to the gp's things are now moving a bit fast but I'm glad things are being thoroughly investigated.

On the upside, I think the warfarin is being to work. Today is the first day in ages that Al has been able to walk, & he's even started to get on my nerves a bit with his constant chatter, which must mean he's feeling like his old self.

Anyhoo, I'll keep yooz informed of any results smile.gif

This weekend we're still having gloriously unseasonal mild wevah ☼

I'm running a race tomorrow - hopes me knee holds out as I'm falling apart!

Hey Nik- It's always a good sign when they start to get on your nerves. Sorry for what you've been going through. Do livein the land where MJ is legal and if so does it help Alz?

Sending healing prayers and (((hugs))).

Must say, I as well have deep, sentimental love for real-page-turning. .. ..ripped and smooshed paperbacks and texts in suitcases.. . .. ...LOOOOOVE that feel of the cover of a new paperback as I open it for the first time, feeling it yield when I push it back, the spine bending.....yup.

What is it you're supposed to get done? Both your kids are still alive, and you aren't sleeping on top of piles of trash. Anything more than that is just bonus as far as I'm concerned.......

He said I start too many things and never finish... Like the laundry... <_< Seriously, I do at least 1 load a day and it NEVER ends!!! I was putting the Halloween decorations up with the kids last night and had to take a break to take Max to cub scouts. When I got home, he was back from his meeting and ranting about me never getting anything done. I did work yesterday and then spent 45 min doing dishes that he could have done the night before while I was flat on my face with a migraine, but he left them for me. I was NOT a happy camper last night. He said I go out and have too much fun.... Last week a good friend called and asked me to meet her for dinner after work bc she needed someone to talk to. F..U..N....

I'll post the tat as soon as it's done, before it gets scabby and gross :P

I'm just not sure what he wants from me. If I was a stay-at-home mom, I would understand. There are not enough hours in the day to get done what I need to get done. God forbid I allow myself 3 hours a week to go to a yoga class or 2... That's it. I see my bff's for 45 min every thursday, before I spend and hour or more at the grocery store. He wants me to get everything done during the week so that I'm not cleaning on the weekends--basically so we can do whatever he wants to do. He doesn't notice if I dust, vaccuum, mop and clean the bathrooms, he notices if I leave the newspaper on the couch. He told me that he picks up after himself, and that's good enough.... That didn't set too well with me <_<

Going to a conference in Phoenix in 2 weeks. I'm excited to go! Wish I could take the kids with me, they'd have a blast.

Woulda gone over like a led balloon here whether I was working or not. You both work full time--what would happen if you "only picked up after yourself"? Somebody needs a reality check here.

Speaking of new tats--I was in Wal Mart recently and a guy had one on his upper arm. It was new and sore looking and he had it covered with plastic wrap. <gag>

He does his own laundry? He never leaves it in the dryer more than a few minutes? He cleans the bathroom he uses and vacuums or cleans the floor he has stepped on? He cleans the dishes he uses, including the ones he uses to get his food from? Not sure what your problem is! :o

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
