Susan the harp lady!! Welcome! Um....that's it fer me. . .. . ...not bein' rude er nuttin', but I have this reputation around Psilly Newbies. . . . ...

From me bro

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

I have given this kind of fabulous list to students for pronunciation exercises....I just love'em. . . .....nothing better illustrates the oft complete unpredictability, the maddeningly nonsense, the constant flow of rule exceptions, within the English language. . . . .

:lol:

gaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Barnett Newman's overpriced, WACKL art and ensuing discussions caused the course of Em's whole LIFE to change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what does it mean??????????????

Dear gawd.....'Tis true!!! :lol:

Oh! Hi there! More Obama dreams..........

I wanna have a dream about Obama. ..... . . ...but no egg suits......

Afternoon Psillies! It should be mornin', cept I'm having some sort of meltdown today (a rather cold meltdown.....I'm freezing and can't get warm). Is there such a thing as a cold meltdown? Hmmmmmm.

Am lovin' the dream analysis, as well as that of the art world! Made up words and all! I suspect that the overly officious sounding words are used to give some sort of value to krap! If I really like this pyle of krap, I can convince mentally insecure egghead wannabees into believing it truly has a great lot of intellectual value.....especially if it's all meaningless babble that they can pretend to understand so that they can fool themselves into thinking that they are smarter than they are! :lol::lol: That's my theory, anyhow.

Hello Susan...it's nice to phinally meet you. I've seen you popping up here and there. Welcome to Psillyville. Have you met our Kurly Kween yet?

Manda......so glad that you are lovin your new home! Sounds like a great place for you to be.....you actually lucked into nice neighbors, too! :)

Gotta love Upstate New York:

Aug. 12 - Moved into our new home in Upstate NY. It is so beautiful here. The hills and river valleys are so picturesque. I have a beautiful old oak tree in my front yard. Can hardly wait to see the change in the seasons. This is truly God's Country.

Oct. 14 - Upstate New York is such a gorgeous place to live, one of the real special places on Earth. The leaves are turning a multitude of different colors. I love all of the

shades of reds, oranges and yellows, they are so bright. I want to walk through all of the beautiful hills and spot some white tail deer. They are so graceful, certainly they

must be the most peaceful creatures on Earth. This must be paradise.

Nov. 11 - Deer season opens this week. I can't imagine why anyone would want to shoot these elegant animals. They are the very symbol of peace and tranquility here in New York . I hope it snows soon. I love it here!

Dec. 2 - It snowed last night. I woke to the usual wonderful sight: everything covered in a beautiful blanket of white. The oak tree is magnificent. It looks like a postcard.

We went out and swept the snow from the steps and driveway. The air is so crisp, clean and refreshing. We had a snowball fight. I won, and the snowplow came down the street. He must have gotten too close to the driveway because we had to go

out and shovel the end of the driveway again. What a beautiful place.. Nature in harmony. I love it here!

Dec. 12 - More snow last night.. I love it! The plow did his cute little trick again. What a rascal. A winter wonderland. I love it here!

Dec. 19 - More snow - couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work in time. I'm exhausted from all of the shoveling. And that snowplow!

Dec. 21 - More of that white poop coming down. I've got blisters on my hands and a kink in my back. I think that the snowplow driver waits around the corner until I'm done shoveling the driveway. Arsehole.

Dec. 25 - White Christmas? More freakin' snow. If I ever get my hands on the son-of-a-birtch who drives that snowplow, I swear I'll castrate him. And why don't they use more salt on these roads to melt this crap??

Dec. 28 - It hasn't stopped snowing since Thanksgiving.. I have been inside since then, except of course when that SOB "Snowplow Harry" comes by. Can't go anywhere, cars are buried up to the windows. Weather man says to expect another 10 inches. Do you have any idea how many shovelfuls 10 inches is??

Jan. 1 -

Happy New Year? The way it's coming down it won't melt until the 4th of July! The snowplow got stuck down the road and the sheethead actually had the balls to come and ask to borrow a shovel! I told him I'd broken 6 already this season.

Jan. 4 - Finally got out of the house. We went to the store to get some food and a godd**n deer ran out in front of my car and I hit the barstard. It did $3,000 in damage to the car. Those beasts ought to be killed. The hunters should have a longer season if you ask me.

Jan. 27 - Warmed up a little and rained today. The rain turned the snow into ice and the weight of it broke the main limb of the oak tree in the frontyard and it went through the roof. I should have cut that old piece of sh*t into fireplace wood when I had the chance.

May 23 - Took my car to the local garage. Would you believe the whole underside of the car is rusted away from all of that d**n salt they dump on the road? Car looks like a bashed up, heap of rusted cow sht.

May 10 - Sold the car, the house, and moved to Florida . I can't imagine why anyone in their freakin' mind would ever want to live in God-forsaken Upstate New York.

:D:D A little winter humor for y'all. And no, I don't miss NY!!! :lol:

Thanks fer askin'. . . . . :) . .. . . . he is a little better. Still very weak, but totally with it, now. We wait to hear what they will do, if anything, about those stones... . .. . ..

So, today, while he was sitting in the chair beside his hospital bed, we were chatting about his early days as a radio announcer. He suddenly said, "It was the craziest thing. . . . .. . . ..... .. Any time I ever walked under a bridge, no one could hear me talk".

:rolleyes:

Bunnie!! Your funny is missing. . . . . .. .well, I must tell you one of the things that my dad said a couple of days ago, when he was still a little out of it. Lying in the hospital bed, he turned his head to me and asked, "If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown, too?"

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.

      In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack. It has a strong genetic link to the HLA-DQ8 gene.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful, especially when the test results are marginal. But a result of 87.4 is probably out of the normal range and into the positive range for any lab's scale. But back to the question of why your endoscopy/biopsy didn't show damage despite significantly positive TTG. Because they took the trouble to take seven samples, it is not likely they missed damage because of it being patchy. The other possibility is that there hasn't been time for the damage to show up. How long have you been experiencing the symptoms you describe in your first post? Having said all that, there are other medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA values and sometimes they are transient issues. I think it would be wise to ask for another TTG-IGA before the repeat endoscopy to see if it is still high.  Knitty kitty's suggestion of getting genetic testing done is also something to think about. About 35% of the general population will have one or both genes that are markers for the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop celiac disease. So, having a celiac potential gene cannot be used to definitively diagnose celiac disease but it can be realistically used to rule it out if you don't have either of the genes. If your symptoms persist, and all testing is complete and the follow-up endoscopy/biopsy still shows no damage, you should consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. If not celiac disease, you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
