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?

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
