Sounds like the PERFECT name for the latest male porn star.......his bio:

"My reputation as the most well-endowed adult film star has preceeded me.....for I am known as NIAGARA Phallus"........

Unfortunately, for the aging porn star, it's more likely Viagra phallus :o

I called the vet and first they said to bring him in, then they said I could give him over the counter benadryl, so I did--75MG!! Holy poopy cow. Pretty soon he'll be like :blink: I put ice on the most swollen part, but he's not cooperative. I'm kind of wishing I had just taken him in :huh:

If you like them, then so what Suze? Just go and have fun. If you're not comfortable with them, then...

I was so anxious about reconnecting with people I hadn't seen in twenty years, but I found out every body is in the same boat--we've all aged, we're all hurting financially, etc. Some even act like they're still in high school :rolleyes:

Dress up in something special and tell them anything you want them to know ;) They won't know the difference.

Holy poopy cow indeed :huh: I did that once to one of me kittehs on veterinary advice and the poor thing was literally climbing the walls. Would go charging across the room and up the wall :o And then back and up the other side. We had to grab her and hold her and try to keep her calm until it wore off. :(

Hope your dogs OK.

I went to the garden to find my center- kind of su-zenish. Came in mellow and relaxed. Then, I starterd reading! Oh my God! Orgys with feet, heart moniters and crazy glue! My all time fave. Porn kings named something like Dick Falick Falls! Memery's not so good. And its only 3:00. And I don't think EVERYBODIES drunck, but some of you might be. Want me to guess! And the thaught that I could do a part-time job here in the home. But, I'll have to buy a pole. And a new body. But, I do feel more energized now, and can mabe bring myself to think about dinner.

I picked a tomatoe in the garden. What you crazies going to with that one?

First of all - MIMMS!!! yer poor dog!! :( Any change since giving the benadryl? it should work.....hope he's better soon.....

Um...........okay. About these HS gals: some of them I have never actually spent even a modicum of time with, don't know if I like them. :blink: So, I'm a bit surprised they're including me in on all of this. The one with the 10-bedroom house, I knew quite well and we were friends, and our fathers were partners....my friend KarenLY was friends with all of them, and so I guess that's how I'm "in." Our 30-year reunion is next summer, which started this frenzy.....

But.....Mimms......most of these gals are REALLY WEALTHY. They are NOT - none of them but me (and Karenly and her hubby) in any sort of dire financial straits. They would have absolutely NO ability to comprehend how po' I is. :huh: I wouldn't have an outfit cute enough......the hostess shops at the Dior boutique in Paris :blink::lol: and flies constantly to New YOrk to shop at Bergdorf's. (I have noted that she throws these things down casually now and then <_< and, if this trip is goign to be about who can out-impress whom, I would not be remotely interested in going) But, most of the gals, despite being successful, are very down-to-earth and fun.

and - the kicker - this is for a DAYS-LONG trip to stay at the mansion in Beverly Hills. Dennis Quaid is her next-door-neighbor. :blink: This is a slumber party of the highest calibRE - she said, her hubby and five kids (who go to private boarding school when they're of age) will all be in Mammoth skiing for 10 days.....hence the girl party. And we can leave messes around, and the housekeeperS (note plural) will clean up after us.........dear gawd!

:blink:

so - with my princess-and-the-pea sleep issues, food issues (she would have a LAVISH g f spread for me, this I know), social anxiety issues, and poverty issues - gadzooks!!!

Could be very fun, or very stressful.....Karenly and I have not decided whether we're going or not.

But you should SEE the discussions on FB about it - very, very funny. :lol:

This is so true--plus quite honestly Souczie, how about all those things that are special about you that money can't buy?

thanks Padt :wub:

'sides, maybe they'll buy you drinks all night B)

oh my gawd - there would be expensive booze flowing the entire three-day weekend....believe me. She's already mentioned the champagne.... :huh:

4. bleach my teeth until my gums fell off

5. have full-body spray tan

6. upper eyelid surgery

7. botox filler in angry line between brows :lol:

and......do 500 situps a day for six months

and....none of the above will happen :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know! If things go badly you can 'confess' to earning your living as a high-paid call girl and then act like you recognise her husband's photograph :ph34r:

I went 'schmoozing' once or twice wif some hob-nobbers I knew and I still laugh about it. The only one who didn't accept me for the person I am was even less, shall we say 'fortunate' than I am. Once I was invited to attend a $200 a plate charity lunch. The hostess/speaker was a highly prominent newswoman who was more recently relieved of her position for her alleged involvement in a little "pay to play" scandal we call Synegro. My table mate--the well-to-do'er who brought me--didn't know what to do with the cold potato soup, so instead of using her spoon she picked up the glass and belted it back like a beer :rolleyes: She later told me that "rich people have better manners" and I almost choked.

Just be yourself Suze!!! Don't even try to live up to that lifestyle--why in **** would you want to??

ranger Enthusiast

I'd go in a min. Think of all the free stuff that we "normal" peeps can't afford. Just get thee arse to a highclass thrift shop and spend a little more than you can afford on something really dingo-esque. I'm sure you look fine, and your personality is Suburb. I was never rich, but most of my friends were. It never stopped me. I used to be richer, but now I'm dirt poor ( the reccesion hit us years ealier than most), but I'd get my arse to a high..........

Yes, I'm aware of the Burning Man thing and would love to go, but that dirt poor thing always gets in the way. Besides, anything with the word MAN in it is out for me, with all the heartache I've had with that 4-timing jugular. But, I might take him back and share him. Isn't sharing a good thing and really the base for any good foot orgy?

Hmmm, a trip to Niagara Phallus sounds quite stimulating. Only Emily would look at phalls and see what she did (tho my spell checker suggests it as one correction). ;)

Okay, so if there is SHAMpoo, what happens when the poo is not sham? There's a delightful image for the shower. :huh:

I think I hear the sounds of the Political Correctness Police heading to Nevada to ensure that this Burning PERSON is properly named with inclusive language. :lol:

Soozie, go and have a great time.

      Wow KK, thank you so much for all your attached info. I had a very quick scan but will read more in depth later.  The one concerning corticosteroid use is very interesting. That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.
    • knitty kitty
      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy).  Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis.   I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs) with Selenium which improves thyroid function.   Interesting Reading: Dermatitis herpetiformis effectively treated with heparin, tetracycline and nicotinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10844495/   Experience with selenium used to recover adrenocortical function in patients taking glucocorticosteroids long https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24437222/   Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/   Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Nicotinic acid therapy of dermatitis herpetiformis (1950) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15412276/
    • suek54
      Thank you all for your advice and the dermatitis herpetiformis article. The latter made me realise I had stopped taking my antihistamine, which I will restart today. The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease. 
    • catnapt
      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!
