Good Morning, Quiet psillies!!

Crap....Just TOO quiet around these parts. ....I'm gonna hafta do some major recruiting. I think we should somehow pass a Forum Rule that new members must make an appearance in Psillyville to have their post count activated. The laws of addiction would settle in, and the vortex would begin to claim many new hapless victims.

:lol:

Must get on The Ripper for a new ponderable. . . .......

It has been SUSPICIOUSLY quiet <_< <_< Em- Love your sleepy substandard poodles!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub:

The weather has been so gray here..........where is SPRING????????????

Mornin' sillies B)

Ugh--no sillie fer me, but had to poop in. It's going to be a nice day here--mid 70's and sunny. I took a walk yesterday and noticed how hot the sun is for this time of year, even though it was only about 70 degrees.

Have a good trip, Jan-it--see you when you get back :)

Amanda--keep us posted on John, I'm glad that they identified the problem and it can be taken care of--how are you feeling?

"Frybaby" :wub: This must mean Brian's a "Frydaddy". :P

Love to all--

Have a great day, sills :D

Morning Sillies-

A very dreary rainy day and windy too--although it is in the 60's so at least it is warmer....

John is hanging in there-going for a HIDA scan on Tuesday--he has 2 large gall stones...but right now he is barely eating since everything bothers him even stuff that is not supposed to.

I am doing ok. I started new antiboitics the other night--still got some green in me (yes I know TMI) I also have been getting dizzy which I think is a side effect although it happens midmornings. I take the meds at night--but it might be all the sinuses draining.

We are having our yearly Childrens Miracle Network Basket Raffle today- I hope to win- you would not believe the baskets. They are huge!!!! There is one that is a pack n play filled with stuff for a new baby--I bid on that and the two backyard kits with grills.... among others :)

Drawing is at 2 today.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've been meaning to post for SO long . .. . . .me brain's fallen & can nae get up . ...me psilly too . . . .

I do so miss having some silly in me w/ any regularity. It's been so long now.

The last time I could reasonably expect any 'tomorrow' to be a good day was at the close of the GREAT six months - Dec '07.

Wtf changed? I've tried new pans for a while now & that doesn't seem to be it.

I never would've moved back to SJ had I not been so sure the improvement would continue. In Sep '07 I was 90% sure I'd be able to work full-time w/in 2 or 3 months.

I'm struggling far too much w/ just this part-time gig. But THAT may not be an issue for much longer. Last month, the boss said they're expecting the group workload to decrease and my contract won't be extended.

They have gotten one unanticipated extra project since he told me that, but it still seems unlikely I'll be extended beyond april 20th.

So I probably have just 17 more days of work. :(

It'd be easy to blame the lackl (hehe) on that, but I've been void of any silly for longer.

Actually, strangely feeling a slight uptick these last 2 days, after being affected by a carpet-cleaning chem exposure at work. Stayed home dizzy & nauseous & had weird & voluminous poop .. ...and incredibly felt a bit better the next day.

I'm still mostly keeping up here.. . ..but it's been far too easy on some of these days!!!

Hope all the silly's situations w/ the loved ones (& selves) get better all the time. :wub:

Did you not eat during that time? Maybe there's some small thing still bugging you and you accidentally carpet-detoxed.

Yes, Jess's query makes sense. . .. . . ..you weren't eating, you were cleaning yourself out at both ends, and immediately afterward you have felt markedly better.............sounds like some noxious thing hasn't been there for a couple o' days!

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

My gawd, it HAS been quiet......I had only three pages on which to catch up to catch up ON.......

:blink:

speaking for meself, well, I was quite busy, but then not busy, and then got kinda sad....

I've decided - am being most serious here - that I only have two good weeks a month and then, once ovulation starts, I almost feel that I walk over a cliff and into an abyss. The fun Soozle is gone.......it becomes dark and awful for two weeks.........WHAT IN HELL AM I TO DO???????? :angry: I have had it with this.......need hormones checked but have no faith in doctors to provide the right thing.........HARRUMPHHHHHHFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

It exuded a very strong, thick smell, and by the time the priest got around the coffin twice, he was starting to stagger and smile a little.

Crap, I do believe he was stoned.

He walked verrrrrrrrrrry strangely to the back of the church, leading the fray, smiling, appearing like he was talking to himself.

It was just what I needed. Peeps, I'm afraid I pulled a Mary-Tyler-Moore-at- Chuckles-The-Clown-Funeral. Began larfing. Kept larfing.

Man. Not good.

:lol: I did love this

LEESARGH!!!!!!!!!! :wub: Frybaby - LOVE that - - love the good reports on the book!!!!!!!!

I hope at my funeral everyone laughs so hard they all pee their pants.

I don't want you to die EVER but......I'd love to be at yer funeral ;)

Gah! Jess! Can we die together?? This sounds fantastic, and exactly what I would like to plan.....my family would be SO compliant in this -- in fact, I will be saving a lot of my dad's wardrobe for any individuals to wear.

The Orange jugs can HOLD the flowers.

Our bodies can enter the church on Care Bear floats.

During the music, when people stand they must hold a public-restroom hover.

I was looking at that crutch-tip.....do you know, they will make PERFECT candle-holders?

dear gawd :lol:

Em, carried in on a Care Bear Phloat.......this is just fantastic..........

EM!!! What's going on???...is he a cOeliac????

:huh: um - did I phorget summat? who is she talking about?

Crap....Just TOO quiet around these parts. ....I'm gonna hafta do some major recruiting. I think we should somehow pass a Forum Rule that new members must make an appearance in Psillyville to have their post count activated.

capitol (or is it capitAl?) idea, Em :lol: :lol: forced Psilly captives!!!!!!!!!!!

It was those crutch tips you kept hurling into their yard while shouting "HOFF!! I WANT THE HOFF!!"

:lol: 'twould be a truly remarkable sight..........might make the newspapers........

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
