Sorry, it's a hijab or nothing for you, young lady.

BAH! never! although I like those lacy mantillas. Remember those? does anyone still wear those?

But I like this hat!

This hat would make me look like hubs.

He has a fluffy beard.

Those beardo hats were pitched by their Canadian inventor to the impressed millionaires on Dragon's Den, but no one invested. Their mistake.....

I can see reasons for wearing that hat. They all have to do with shoveling snow.

Buy a snowblower!!! Not as environmentally friendly, but gets you inside a lot quicker.

elye Community Regular

Man, those hats would be SO NOT for me. Having a lifetime of experience outside in January frigidity, careening down hills, pushing a shovel through snowdrifts, waiting at ice-covered, windblown bus stops, I can well imagine what the "beard' of this headwear would look like after a few minutes... . ...in fact, I'm wondering if this problem is unique to me, as the Beardo is selling like crazy.

Doesn't everybody get a running-like-a-faucet nose in freezing weather??

I know someone who does.

When hubs snow-blows our ridiculously long driveway, he wears this dark, bizarre woolen cap/snow mask similar to this hat. He looks like he is about to rob a bank.

When he comes back inside, we have to pry the thing off him because YES, his nose runs and his eyes tear up and so little icicles form everywhere !! and then, the hat/mask sticks to his face and beard. :( He is red- faced for hours after and he says it hurts like heck. (granted, he is also a very white Irish man with ridiculously sensitive skin that burns in about 5 minutes in the sun. )

So you must have plenty of these in your house.

At the risk of sounding stupid, why don't you just thaw his face first? Like with a blowdryer or a dip into a sinkful of warn water? Then throw the mask in the dryer?

Uhmmm, don't think I would want to be married to a bearded collie :unsure: , cute or otherwise. A great Dane, maybe.... or a German shepherd, or a Welsh terrier, an Irish springer spaniel could be good for a romp :D

      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.
