Jin, I think you might have asked on the OMG thread, but since the hair discussion is here .... I think it is mainly a lighting issue ... it was blonde and dark this time and was last time. I have a little more blonde, but only in places you couldn't see in the previous avatar since it was such a close up. I still have the dark, but it was a much brighter place.

I dated a guy who looked like a cross between John Stamos and Charlie Sheen ... really good looking guy. :)

Tom, do you really want to know if the gentle glide are gentler??? I don't think you do .... I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Now we know why Patti likes Halloween. :)

Okay, okay okay...we do NOT have the Gentle Glider classification here in Canada. I know this, because I have travelled the country and likely shopped for these things in each province. Now why is that? Alex, have you seen these anywhere up here? Canadian women would appreciate gently gliding things as much as in any other country. Nikki, are they available in the UK? When I was over there I did NOT see them, nor in Paris...strictly an American thing? Man, we likely need a gentle glider more than anybody else, as it can be bloody cold through winter...And we could advertise MUCH better up here..."I'm an active woman, and I need the Gentle Glider," says a robust Canadian woman as she glides down a ski hill. :lol:

Carla- I think your hair looks great! Just for the record! :)

Yes- I know what a GENTLE GLIDE TAMPON IS. I'm a GIRL you goof (Tom) what I meant was I didn't know how King Richard knew. But not he has explained himself.

#1 - Married man

#2 - Have been sent to store a time or 2 before with VERY SPECIFIC grocery list

#3 - Prefer the manly blue box

#4 - Can never buy just what's on list...must bury said unmentionables under a stack of innocuous items.

#5 - Refuse to use coupons

#6 - Have been annointed "worlds Greatest Husband" on numerous occaisions rolleyes.gif (even awarded several distinguished service medals for meritorious achievement and going over and above the call of duty)

Hee hee!!!!!!!!!! When I was on my honeymonn in Costa rica I was accompanied by my friend which was NOT due anytime soon (I was told that getting closer to the equator whacks your body out :huh: ). Unfortunately the owner of the inn's wife was preggers at the time so no supplies so they sent Roberto out for "supplies". Try being SPECIFIC in espanol :o

Thanks. :)

I've heard of the gentle glide ones ... they've also changed the regular ones here ... Morgan and I are both upset they took the string out of the paper overwrap ... they're much more difficult to open. :P

I do love the pearls though :) although pricey the I like the braided string.

No no no!! . . ...the angle I was interested in is whether it's another bloody obvious (to the women) marketing ploy thought up by a man.

(There'd been something similar discussed on OMG quite a while back, in which I was surprised at the unanimity of disgust at some tv comm'l)

At the risk of revealing too much personal information, I can vouch for the fact that the gentle glide are more gentle.

And the cardboard applicators are HEINOUS.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular
gentle.

And the cardboard applicators are HEINOUS.

I so agree!

. . . . you goof (Tom)

Whoa! 1st I read it as "goob". :D

Yoohoo! Pseu-zee!! Whatever happened to calling everyone a goob. :blink:

I think it's a fine word & and a nice reminder of Mayberry & Gomer's cousin.

(Ack!! Why the HECK do I remember that Goob was played by George Lindsay? Can trivia be much more trivial than THAT?) :o

<tom now regrets the gentle query into the presumed men's marketing of women's products> <_<

Yup--I agree. Of course, since I've had my hysters removed, I no longer have a need for them. B)

Stupid, pinchy cardboard :angry:

nikki-uk Enthusiast
And Tom, yes, you can come to my party

Can I come Bevy Wev ...oh please...I promise I'll behave !!!!

No 'Gentle gliders' here in the UK :(

At the risk of freaking Tom out (Richard can take it - he's married) I am strictly a Tampax brand girl .Do NOT like the plastic applicator types (doesn't flush)

Stupid, pinchy cardboard :angry:

:lol: Ooooer, yes, ...OUCH !!!! :lol:

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

For some reason the cardboard always made me feel "dirty" not sure why though.

elye Community Regular

I'm a cardboard girl myself. You just flush it away...gone forever, and totally biodegradable. Don't find it pinchy. So, are the Gentle Gliders (sounds like a freaking Olympic syncronized swim team) cardboard or plasic? Bev, did Roberto find you gliders in Costa Rica?

jerseyangel Proficient

Lookie here--free gliders!

Me, too, but I've clogged too many plumbing pipes with the applicators, so stopped trying to flush them about 20 years ago!

That was the one thing my mom harped about the most when we lived at home. My sisters and I all used tampons, religously. My moms biggest thing was they are not flushable even if the box says they are.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Yeah, the most mortifying time was when I was staying at my step-aunt's while my mom and step-father were gone. I flushed ... I even waiting till it discintegrated ... a few minuted later, the ceiling started leaking in the first-floor dining room out of where the light fixture was. I don't know if they ever figured out what caused it, but based on the timing, it was apparent that I had. :ph34r: It was a newly-renovated historic house.

Mtndog Collaborator

OMG- I take a nap and wake up in Tampon Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I have a confession, I hate them all, even the gentle gliders (that synchronized Olympic team). Just don't feel like THOSE belong THERE :ph34r:

You are ALL invited to my party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And while I was sleeping, Uncle ray was at it:

Choosing A Wife

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing

among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that,

you know.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. :D

      These symptoms started initially in 2009/2010 and I've had normal blood sugar readings in all the blood tests - so never been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes. I did request another blood test recently (yesterday in fact) which I have had, and if the blood sugar looks high it'll come up in my results which I'll be able to see next week. I don't have any other symptoms relevant to diabetes except for the nerve pain, which had been in existence for many years with "normoglycaemia", but we'll see. In terms of my current diet: I get roughly 60% of my calories from fat and protein, and 40% from carbs (an estimation). I'm on currently about 2200 calories per day, which is too low for someone of my size, so I've been slowly losing weight that I want to put back on again. But I don't want to do that without using weights, which flare my pain up unfortunately.

      I used to react very badly to milk - much worse than to gluten and I was always worried about exposure. Any diary product would make me extremely ill and put me out of action for 5 days or so. I would have watery and bloody diarrhoea, bloating, malaise and be unable to eat. If I recall correctly, it was about a year after being diagnosed with coeliac disease and going on a strict gluten free diet that I accidentally consumed dairy products and didn't react. From then on, I have been fine with diary.

      Sorry, I just realized how old this thread is and only read the initial post from 2021. I'll have to catch up on the comments in this thread. 
    • Jane02
      Sorry to hear you're going through such a hard time. It would be worth looking into MCAS/histamine issues and also Long Covid. Perhaps there is something occurring in addition to celiac disease. It would be worth ruling out micronutrient deficiencies such as the b vitamins (B12, folate, B1, etc), vit D, and ferritin (iron stores).

      This sounds very similar to the neuropathic pain I experienced with type two diabetes.  Gloves and boots pattern of neuropathy is common with deficiencies in Cobalamine B12 (especially the pain in the big toe), Niacin B3, and Pyridoxine B6.  These are vitamins frequently found to be low in people with pre-diabetes and diabetes.  Remember that blood tests for vitamin levels is terribly inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiencies before there are any changes in blood levels.  You can have "normal" serum levels, but be deficient inside organs and tissues where the vitamins are actually utilized.  The blood is a transportation system, moving vitamins absorbed in the intestines to organs and tissues.  Just because there's trucks on the highway doesn't mean that the warehouses are full.  The body will drain organs and tissues of their stored vitamins and send them via the bloodstream to important organs like the brain and heart.  Meanwhile, the organs and tissues are depleted and function less well.   Eating a diet high in simple carbohydrates can spike blood sugar after meals.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates consistently over time can cause worsening of symptoms.  Thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B3 and Pyridoxine B6, (which I noticed you are not supplementing), are needed to turn carbs, proteins and fats into energy for the body to use.  Alcohol consumption can lower blood sugar levels, and hence, alleviate the neuropathic pain.  Alcohol destroys many B vitamins, especially Pyridoxine, Thiamine and Niacin.  With alcohol consumption, blood glucose is turned into fat, stored in the liver or abdomen, then burned for fuel, thus lowering blood glucose levels.  With the cessation of alcohol and continued high carb diet, the blood glucose levels rise again over time, resulting in worsening neuropathy.   Heavy exercise can also further delete B vitamins.  Thiamine and Niacin work in balance with each other.  Sort of like a teeter-totter, thiamine is used to produce energy and Niacin is then used to reset the cycle for thiamine one used again to produce energy.  If there's no Niacin, then the energy production cycle can't reset.  Niacin is important in regulating electrolytes for nerve impulse conduction.  Electrolyte imbalance can cause neuropathic pain.   Talk to your doctors about testing for Type Two diabetes or pre-diabetes beyond an A1C test since alcohol consumption can lower A1C giving inaccurate results. Talk to your doctors about supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, and correcting deficiencies in Pyridoxine, Niacin, and B12.  Hope this helps! Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ P. S.  Get checked for Vitamin C deficiency, aka Scurvy.  People with Diabetes and those who consume alcohol are often low in Vitamin C which can contribute to peripheral neuropathy.
