JOO-DEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You came back to us!!!!! :D

Are you in your new house yet???

Housewarming!!!!!

Had my meeting at school this morning. I am happy to say that nobody is pushing ADHD anymore . . . I really thought this was the route the school was going to take even though the screenings did not indicated it was an issue. They have started the process for getting Smackl an IEP for a "specific learning disability in the form of written expression". A lot of the current accomodations will remain the same, but he will now get extra time during testing. A lot of what they are doing now is for the most part voluntary by this school. I have no doubt that come next year, it wouldn't be any problem getting the same accomodations from the 5th grade teacher. However, come middle school, all bets are off and the IEP will legally require them to accomadate his disability. In the mean time, we all work on getting him up to speed on typing. (Can't remember if I mentioned that . . . he's slow at typing, quantity of work is better but still low ('cause he's so slow?), but his quality of work is significantly higher.)

EggZactly the same scenario for DC except....NOBODY was interesting in assessing him 'til I pulled him out of school (oh some 4 years ago :unsure: )

After 10 mins with an Educational Psychologist she determined that his reading/comprehension age was above average... WAY above his written ability (below av) - two opposite ends of the scale.

Unfortunately for DC, the IEP never really got implemented as they can't get past the 'behavioural problems'

<_< (he's 14 now, getting virtually NO education & the behavioural issues have gone through the roof <_< ....but that's another tale....)

Hopefully,though for Smackl, thinga are on the up. T'is quite frustrating for them to try and learn in a conventional fashion I think - so hopefully, tailoring to his needs will be a great help!!

Fingers crossed Jhan-knit

Yeah- Jianknut figured out what's bugging Skeeter and feels better :D That's good. And Smackl shall get his IEP. This makes me happy!

And Joodee popped in :D

Sadly, once you hit about 40, the opportunity to do stuff you aren't supposed to drops precipitously. It all becomes either too dangerous, too expensive, or too much trouble.

I REFUSE to believe this (even though it's probably true!)

Theresa- I'm sorry to hear about your dad. He sounds like an amazing man! I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending :wub: :wub: :wub:

An exhausted nurse, fresh off an 18-hour shift, staggers into a bank one morning to cash her paycheque. Standing in front of the teller, she reaches into her bag for a pen and, in her fatigued state, instead brings out her rectal thermometRE. She tries to write, looks at the startled teller's face and then what is in her hand, shakes her head and says, "Oh, gawd....... . ..some a$$hole's got my PEN!!"

Uncle Ray shall receive this toot sweet!

I have finally finished the Potter books. I feel like I've lost my best friend, quite disappointed I'm done. I guess I can go back to paying attention to my friends and family :P Nuphin else new here, hubby's in Orlando for the week at a conference, so I can go to bed when I want, have 1/2 the laundry to do, can make what I want for dinner, the list goes on ;) Ah, I jest, he's a great guy, just nice to have a few evenings to meselph a few days a year!

Headache update . . . Headaches are MUCH better. Perhaps twas rebound headaches after all . . . or the antibiotic is finally working. I don't suppose there is any way to tell. My neck has been sore/stiff though . . . mostly on the same side that I had the more significant eyeball pain (which is also MUCH better, especially today). Is there some lymph nodes back there or sumptin? Doesn't "feel" swollen or different. Always something.

Sounds like tension in yer neck. Since you've been having headaches, your neck and shoulders are probably tense and a tight ball of muscles. I prescribe a massage, right away, to keep you from getting more headaches from your neck hurtin!! ;)

Today my heart is very sad, scared, lonely for my family. My Dad suddenly developed severe back pain, then could not move/feel his legs. The local hospital sent him to another hospital hours away (from upstate NY to Burlington Vermont). They discovered a blood clot in his spine that was compressing the nerves. Apparently it's been there long enough to cause some permanent damage. Time will tell how much...but he may never walk again. I have to tell you that this 84 year old still bales hay, cuts his own firewood...is so active and stronger than most men of any age that I know. They operated, removed the clot and some of a vertebra. He got through the surgery fine...but it's a long road ahead.

I knew I could tell you all about it and that you'd understand. Any of you who pray...please include my Dad, and the family. Thanks for being here and being such a wonderful group. I promise to keep more in touch.

How's he doing? S'been a few days...

Someone posted a recipe for something like that a while ago. I printed it at work....prints in a different room.... but the printer didn't work. By the time I realized it, I couldn't find the recipe again :angry:

This is what I do-heat up a pan nice and hot, drop a small handful of shredded cheese into it, when the edges start to turn brown, flip over, cook till it's golden brown, dry on a paper towel-super yummy!!

Good for you for being SO persistant! I'm wondering already if we will have the same problem with our kids. I've got one who is way above her grade level and I have to press for more work for her to do and will fight, if I have to, to get her into the IB program once she starts middle school. DS, on the other hand, is not so academic, has no attention span, etc....He will start school in September, so I will give him a year or 2 to see where he's at, but I'm already concerned. The Montessori is a great idea-I've been thinking about it as well.

My day yesterday went full speed from 4am to 8:30 pm. I'm a little tired today.....

The woman who translated 'kick ass' (ASL) was just a temp and hasn't been back. I asked the two regular guys who do it but they didn't know. They said they would just make some motion to transmit the feeling that was being conveyed, like a "YES!" fist in the air if the phrase was conveying something good.

Still much work to do today. Just saying hi and bye for now

Just a quick poop in, can't add any silliness, nuff cyber silliness going on. Hard to be psilly when consumed with rage after two days in cyberspace, no phone, burning the cellphone minutes talking to ISP provider, telco, CISCO (customer support in Phillipines and west coast USA), equipment seller, alarm company (yep, it set off the alarm at 5:00 a.m. :o ) (and it wasn't even turned on!!). Wotinell is going on? No one knows, our router does not exist according to CISCO, our ISP says our password we have had for 8 years is WRONG!!, CISCO says sorry, can't help you, ISP says we need CISCO's help to get back online, and yet here I is. Somebody must have figured out somfink but will never let on. :ph34r:

Oh well...

Bevvie sweetie, you are in my thoughts. Such a difficult situation--we've dealt with both in our family. I completely understand the sentiment "sick of it" and wanting to yell ENOUGH.

Janet, Wishing the best for your friend's child. Bless him.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Inconclusive results

      By Wends · Posted

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!
