Good Luck to K and Em's mama's!! Love from the left coast ;)

Busy day today! Made 2 more cakes for a big baby shower this weekend. They've given me a color pallet and said do whatever I want.... I think that's more stressful!! But I'm gettin paid for it :D My housekeeper called and had to cancel this week so I was forced to clean the darned thing myselph <_<;) I caught up on all my laundry and made a yummy Italian pasta salad for dinner that my kids surely won't eat :rolleyes: . I just sat down, not sure if I'll be able to get back up :unsure: Oh wait, now I have to take both kids to gymnastics..... Later...

I know--when you're going like that, sitting down can be be dangerous! Don't forget to breathe, Rah-schell :D

So, had a panic attack today....I had one a couple of months ago and before that none since I went gluten-free. I have no idea wih triggered it but all of a sudden me heart started beating really fast, I had been a little dizzy for the last couple of weeks anyway, and I felt kind of panicky. I put my pheet up and tried to breathe through it--felt worse before I felt better, but I seem to be ok now. Jeesh :huh:

Paghteigh!! Oh, dear.... ....panic attack...how awful. I have heard and read about how these paralyzing episodes can make one feel like they're dying.. .. . . ....... . I'm so glad it passed. Thinking about you... ..:wub:

Then you would not believe the variety - soft ones, ones that are attached to the under shorts and the big mondo ones that you can wing a Lacrosse ball at from close range and feel nothing.

DD is in competitive contact sports, and while she doesn't, of course, wear a jock, she wears what they call a jill - - a thick fabric piece that fits in front of her groin area. I find myself wondering why a jill isn't hard plastic like a cup.... . . ....a careening hockey puck, lacrosse ball or knee/elbow is gonna hurt and do as much damage there on a girl as it would a boy...... . . ..I guess a man's area just seems so much more... . ....out there.

Actually. it IS more out there. :huh:

:rolleyes:

And why aren't male sport cups given sizes like bras? They are simply small, medium and large. Methinks DH would be a 36B... ..

:lol:

Well, we are four days in, and Bagheera has taken over, in a fashion. He has met all of the other cats, both here at home and at the store. They can see each other, but are physically separated, with Bagheera in a pen with the wire-mesh wall between him and others. Oliver, our 14-year-old male at home, is nonreactive. The other four, who are female, have shown varying degrees of contempt. The hostility levels seem to be going down.

Hubby posted for a promotion in Spokane <_< I HATE Spokane! :( He grew up there and all of his friends are still there--except for the ones who moved to Portland :rolleyes: I lived there for 2 years and it was miserable. Granted, we lived in the hood and I was sick for all 2 years of it, but it doesn't evoke great memories. All my friends and familia are here -_- I shall wait and see what happens. Whatever shall be shall be.

Had to vent....Don't want my family to know yet....

The Catholic thrift store still hasn't scheduled a pick up for my dining room furniture! Being forced to invite the in-laws for dinner! Agghhh!

Must get a small stick for my mouth. Staying in the kitchen cooking doesn't work. It's big and open to the family room.

How far is Spokane from Portland? I'm too lazy to find a map and look.

6 hours if a normal person drives. 4.5 hours if I drive ;) 45 minute plane ride. Not horrible, but horrible enough.

Oh Rah-schell....been there....you have a good attitude about it, though. :) Keep us posted!

So ya couldn't get out of it :( Well, good luck wif it--think psyllie thoughts when the goin' gets rough ;)

So, I had to run to Kroger for some fruit and on a whim I stopped at the lil' haircut place down the plaza and got about 4 inches cut off :o Me neck pheels cooler, that's fer sure :lol:B)

Excited fer the new realtor to start--she was here yesterday and I really like her. When she speaks, she sounds exactly like Reba McIntyre. :P I called the present one and asked very sweetly if she would consider terminating our contract a little early (2 weeks), and she wouldn't do it <_<

Whaddya gonna do.....

Is Spokane any closer to Ottawa? Easier for me to come and meet you, Rah-shyellle? If so, then you must consider it. . . ......:rolleyes:;)

On this subject: Who is relatively close to Chicago? Jyaghnuhtt? Leeesargh? This is where DH and I are heading for four nights in early July. JUST THE TWO OF US. :huh:

:D :D B)

This will be the first time since The Ripper was a baby that DH and I have been away anywhere together without the kids. What in hell will we DO? Think I've forgotten how to do.. . .. ...most everything... . . ...completely adult oriented.

Man, what an incredibly liberating feeling it was, booking a simple little king hotel room, with one big bed, and nuttin' else... . . . ...

Does she sing like her? Now, THAT would be a bonus. . . . .... .

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
