Not sure if any of you saw this recent thread, but it is a link to a very funny commentary on being gluten-free. Thought you guys might get a giggle out if it.

Em. Has she moved to be near you yet?

She arrived last weekend. Is staying at my BIL's house, and bought herself a condo two days ago.

ANNNNNNNNNND........

It is NOT blocks away from our house, as she originally wanted -- she was actually looking at places right around the corner......:blink:..... It is about a fifteen-minute drive away.

Well, allowing for near-misses of buses and all the stopping to a) check on side-swept bicyclists and b ) exchange insurance information with rear-ended motorists ahead of her, maybe twenty minutes.

Hello Dear Psilllies,

I wanted to share my vacation with you since my return on Sunday. Back from NJ and boy did we ever need that trip! Over a 4 day period I held court (like the queen bee) saw over 15 friends spread out over various days, meals and times. Rob had the same situation with all of his friends. We started our vacation by attending a lovely 4th of July BBQ/Block Party in RI. Our 1st stop in NJ was a meal with friends who were gluten-free and it was marvelous. Our phriends came from all over NJ, Pa., and NY to see us. Superman really needed a break from caregiving and on Friday and Saturday we were apart. I took the car Friday and held court at my favorite mall (Princeton Market Faire) as my friends came in shifts and stayed in various combinations. I made a new friend (I complimented her bright cheery outfit and how put together she was - I like to compliment as many people as I can each day) and she will join us for a get together next year when we return. I spent Saturday with my old therapist who's become a dear phriend while Superman went to see Roger Waters and the Wall with a high school friend. I spent the night with her, I shopped til I dropped, ate at my phavoriite restaurants, went to a gluten-free store and bought a lot of products they don't have in RI. The temperature was hideous - 110 and humid. Getting in and out of cars was torturous.

Rob went for coffee with Sandy (old therapist I spent day and night with Sat.) while I packed and on the ride home he told me that they discussed how my identity has become my illnesses. I decided to change that immediately and next week my sweet Selia (girl I tutor) is coming over with her mom and two siblings. It won't be an official tutoring session (though I told her to bring a new book to read to me). We'll have a treasure hunt in my basement and we'l do crafts, go through my library of books I give to Selia (I have age appropriate books for her siblings) and we'll do some beading. I'll give them "treasures" as Tony used to call my beads and craft projects when he was little.

Today I start seeing doctors again. I never went to the doctor or ER when I took the nasty fall over Memorial weekend (too bruised and didn't want Rob scrutinized plus I'm sick of hospitals and doctors). I have some lesions that aren't healing but thank God they aren't shingles. Each doctor I called to see was annoyed that I waited to see them but I didn't want to go out until my bruises healed. I was also sick of doctor appointments. I'll be seeing my specialists over the next few weeks. Before vacation my PCP sent me to a pain management group (I thought I was going to have my pain meds increased - my pain level is a constant 9) but it turned out to be another orthopedic doctor. I already have one so yesterday I scheduled an appointment to see him and cancelled my follow up with the new doctor I saw. The one bad thing that happened during our trip was that I slipped in the shower and hit my head. That will probably be MRI'd or CT-scanned.

The long ride home (at one point there was rubber necking on our side due to a 10 car pile up in the other direction) afforded Rob and I a chance to talk about where we are today and how we feel about it. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason (though you might not find out why until further down the road). I had lost sight of it. We discussed how he has come to terms with his lay-off. He's making the stock market a full time job and loves it. He's studied it, watches Cramer (the hyper active man on MSNBC). If he continues to do well he wants to pay off our mortgage. Years ago he played with Margin and greed caused him to lose a lot (though we got two cars and several trips out of it so it wasn't a total loss). He learned a hard lesson and is extremely cautious now.He just needs to keep us going for 5 years and then he can retire and collect his pension from Wyeth (the company Pfizer bought).

Phew - I just realized how much I wrote and hope I didn't burn a hole in your eyes. I'm going to shower and get ready for my appointment with my therapist today. She split from the group she was working through and instead of being 20 minutes away is now an hour. I don't want to change therapists again - I really pheel a connection with her so I want to look up where her practice is and phind some interesting sights en route. I'm going to alternate phone sessions with office visits so I'll only have to make the trip to see her once a month.

I apologize for the length of this but I'v been offline so long I wanted to bring you up to speed. I hope you are all doing well - physically and mentally. I've missed you all and love you very much.

P.S. phor anyone new to this forum or thread. My DH's name is Rob but he's Superman (I'm Lois Lane) in most of my posts. He really showed his super powers when he saved my life in January.

Hi Lo:). Thanks for the update on you. Best of luck at your appointments-- sounds like you are in a good place emotionally. Keep us posted.

Princeton Market Faire is one of my favs! We always stopped at the Starbucks there when we lived in North Jersey and were coming down here. Plus it has Pottery Barn which I adore. Did you eat at the PF Changs there?

Shroooooo-meeeeeeeee......

Just remembered--my son (a car buff) went to a big car show in PA over the weekend and met a man who had come all the way from NZ. When he told me, I said--I wonder if he knows Shroomie? :D:unsure:

Loweeeeeeee! :wub: :wub: SO glad to hear from you.....Wow, you've been busy! Busy is always good, especially when sick.....if you can stay busy, it can't hurt, and may help.... Thinking about you on this journey...... :)

Patteigh, whenever I am in a Starbucks, or even pass one by, I always think of you and Mark, as this is where we all met in Philly and I know that you guys have a special Starbucks-thing, wherever you are..... B):)

Well, of course he does, although you didn't mention his name. As I am told every time I turn around, "We are such a small country" (excuses for why they don't have anything in stock :P ) that everyone knows absolutely everybody. He would know me by lots of names, but not Shroomie :lol:

I must add a funny.

Husband comes in from walking the dog and walked past a library chest where we house lots of useful and insignificant stuff and upon which, the router sits.

He walked by this chest and stopped. Paused. And then comes and get me. "LISA THE ROUTER IS FARTING". I asked if a tree limb hit him on his head during his walk. "No, really" and insisted that I come hear.

Indeed there was farting and lots of it, in rapid succession.

I look at his curious face and start cracking up. I pulled open one of the top small drawers. In that drawer, lives a fart machine, which we keep for simple minded adults (all of us) and nine year old grandchildren. Apparently, the battery was dying and it was giving it's last GASp.

Okay....well, you had to be there. :huh: Lesson learned...Routers don't fart. Husbands know farts when they hear one, even from strange sources. And women always know the source. :lol:

Twice - Yummy!!!!!!! And bought a house gift at Pottery Barn and clothes at Chico's, Black & White, and Anthropologie. I'd say I was a very bad girl but I had saved up my "Stash Cash" (my mother didn't work until later in life and when I quit my TV job to be a stay at home mom she told me to always take something from my food budget and stash it away - smart lady).

Love,

Loey

I was referred to a real pain management center in New Haven by my therapist. Sick of having new doctors think I'm a drug addict. My PCP prescribes oxy but extremely low dose. Rush Limbaugh ruined it for people who really need the meds. OK, no time or need for a soapbox. Will let you know what they do. Of course I probably won't get an appointment until September but I'm optimistic. Off to movies tonight. Saw Spiderman yesterday (much better than I expected) and Superman's indulging me with Rock of Ages tonight. I do need to keep on moving and living regardless of how much pain I'm in.

Love,

Loey

      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.
