GOoOoOood morning, gang!

Holy crap.....the City of Ottawa rolled out their H1N1 vaccine dispenser sites yesterday, and it soon became chaos. Thousands of people lined up for hours......people turned away after the first hour in many locations. Crazy.

They should just deliver a few hundred cases of the serum to my place, and I could set up a drive-by innoculation site at the end of my laneway. I've been doing needles for thirty-six years - - 'twould be nothin'... . .... . .. :rolleyes::lol:

Who is getting the shot here? Rather unpsilly stuff... .. ..... ..so much conflicting info out there......... :wacko:

NOT for us all ....except Alzy.

I REALLY dunno if he should :unsure: .... doesn't have the 'normal' flu jab

He has a leaky heart valve so is in the 'higher risk' category

<_<

:unsure:

:wacko:

GAH!!!!!!

Looking forward to it! Miss you :)

Tis quite boring--but it does help.....I eschew the sugar but have drawn the line when it comes to wine :lol: I think it helps :DB)

New washer/dryer are white--alas no pretty colors, but actually quite easy to operate once you figgure out how..... :blink:

As of this moment, I'm not. (either one) Mark either--he never gets a floo shot ever since the year his doctor talked him into it and he got sick anyway. (probably wasn't the floo, but try to tell him that..... :P ) I used to get the shot, had nausea as a side effect every single time--the last time I took it, I also had chest tightening so I'm skeered.

GAH!!!!!!

The reactions of the multitudes......so confuzzling. I have decided to get it, and me kids as well. I'm high-risk, so I can get in there first. I have actually done quite an about-face on this one -- a couple of months ago I was not going to get this vaccination, but the medical community at large has convinced me otherwise. Unlike Big Pharma, these guys stand to make no big money from a massive innoculation........in fact, they're volunteering extra hours and stretching resources, so likely they face a loss.

Jyesssss! Where in hell are ya? I need to hear your thoughts, unpsilly as they are.... . ..... . .you're watching some spectacular volcanoes. . ...... :)

From what I've heard, the mechanics of creating the H1N1 vaccine were exactly the same as regular flu shots. If they had had more notice (if people had gotten sick earlier in the year) it would have been part of the regular flu shot.

The disease itself is more mild than some strains of virus, but particularly bad for people with other issues.

Can't remember if I said this here, but saw a study where they tracked nurses to study face masks to prevent transmission. The most interesting part of the study was 2/3 of nurses became positive for H1N1 as determined by PCR, but never had symptoms. My take on this? Most people get H1N1 and never know it. You may already have produced your antibodies if you've been around sick people.

As with any shot, weigh the personal risks vs the personal benefits.

I haven't decided if I'm getting the shot. I have no worries about the vaccine itself, but I also have no worries about getting the virus. All the docs I work with are pulmonologists - I can get free medical advice all day. :)

Bah, Jyesss! I wanted you to say, pointedly, "GET the shot!", or "DON'T get the shot!"

Not me. I was undecided for some time. Still don't know if it's the right decision. My daughter's OB doc recommended not getting the H1N1.....even though she was pregnant.

Alexis should be coming home tomorrow :D .....finally got the knack of feeding vs sleeping. Jaundice is better. Woohoo!

Thanks, Nik! And all you other crazies posting on me Wall... . ..... :D

Don't we all miss the days when our birthdays came to us, finally, after an agonizing wait.. .. . .counting the days, then the hours, dreaming of the gifts we'd be given, the big party, the cake..... . .....revelling in being a year older, more mature.. . .....

<_<

<_<

:rolleyes:

Funny how things change.

DD came traipsing into the kitchen this am and mumbled, "Happy Birthday. Can you give me a drive to school? And I need a new hair dryer.....mine is starting to stink like burning rubber".

The Ripper followed a few minutes later, and said nothing.

I heard mad whispering in the other room, then he wanders back in...."Happy Birthday, Mom. But, like, it's not ever really HAPPY anymore, is it?"

:lol::lol:

One of my birthdays . . . hubby was gone on a business trip. Kids were about 2 1/2 and 4. I made myself an angel food cake (before Skeeter was gluten-free). Well, you have to let those rest upside down on a bottle so I had to chug a beer to get myself the appropriate size bottle. At supper I made the children sing to me or they wouldn't get cake!!! :lol::lol: The question is . . . why is this one of my most memorable birthdays?? :huh::lol:

There is one less place to set at the birthday dinner tonight, and this just hit me now as I was looking at the table.... . . .....Dad's spot, to my left, will have someone else there now, and the table will be a little smaller.

:(

Wow. The first time this has happened, and there will be many more coming, Christmas the big toughie.

But all is good. I'm okay! That was just a sudden flood of feeling, and I found myself rushing for the keyboard... .. ......

Yer sillies are here for ya, Em. It's so understandable that you would think about the loss of your dad on a day like today. As time goes on, the empty feeling will slowly be replaced with all of the wonderful memories of special days past. He's looking down today with a smile :)

Sillies--I talked to Judith this morning. The movers are finishing up loading her stuff today after a long day of last minute packing and loading yesterday. She's holding it all together well between all of the good-byes and the stress of the move itself :D They will clean the house tomorrow, and the closing is scheduled for Friday--after that, they are off to California. B)

She wanted me to tell ya'll 'hi' :)

Welcome back, Rah-shell! :) Wow, sounds like you've been hammered...... . ...were you.....swiney?

Yes, I was wondering the same :unsure:

Take it easy Rachelle!!

Talking of which, (swine flu).... I was at the docs today.

We discussed Alzey's health probs and the doc strongly advised the jab for him (and Tel)...... so we're gonna go with his advice :) (jabs should arrive next week)

I was also there to get the results of my blood tests for TATT ( :lol: tired all the time!) .... had a general overhaul, cholesterol, liver funtion FBC, etc...

All ok,...... except I am REALLY anAemic!!!!

WIH???? :blink:

He questioned my diet <_< (how dare he! )....which *I* think is pretty balanced. The doc then suggested he test ME for celiac disease ( :lol: ... had a good 'inward' chuckle at this suggestion)

I proceeded to tell him that I am already eating gluten-free so there was no point. (good call though!!)

Sooo, he's given me iron tabs to take for 2 months, and then re-test my bloods..... if it hasn't come up by then he wants to start 'investigations'

:unsure:

I clearly need to EAT FILET STEAK everynight!!!

EDIT:

PadT!, thanks for the update on Joo-dee!!! :D ..she's finally going!

Wow! Definitely a good call. Are you gluten-free all the time, Nik, or just with the family?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
