Having nothing to do with the topic at hand: I just had PB all melty on toast. Yum! All my life, I would have a PB sandwich or on toast and feel bloated and blechy for hours after. I could eat small amounts of PB straight from the jar. Just thought all the fat or something made it hard to digest. Not anymore! It was the bread all along! :)

:D :D :D

Isn't that great, Karreighn! I always thought it was the sandwich fillings that didn't agree wif me too. Never, ever suspected the bread :huh:

I was in Kansas once :rolleyes: 101 at midnight. :huh: Peeps we was staying with had no air con in house or car :o We died :P

I think we woz there with you!...... no wait :unsure: ..... never been Kansas

Musta been Spain one summer..... had to buy a fan - t'was UN bearable!!

But the Kiwis are going home - with their heads high, and undefeated :):o

They did purty good!!!!!! :D

...and USA equalising wiv Ghana!!!

Made a thrilling entrance to Incline Village last night :blink: After unpacking the luggage and hauling all the stuph from the garage, ran out of wind, literallly :unsure: Ended up with atrial fib. and unable to catch my breath, no oxygen getting to my brain, a neighbor helped Clay walk me to da car, and spent several hours in ER with repeat EKG's, blood tests, IV meds until it all passed over. If I had been at home t'would not have been a crisis, but since I am not altitude adjusted yet my heart was not pumping very effectively at all. What is it about psoriatic arthritis and poorly pumping hearts??? Tel and I would make a good pair. They could not believe that it all just cleared up and I am phine today. Still, have an urgent call in to my PCP for a visit and cardiac referral, which was one of my goals here anyway. At least he will now know why I is coming to see him :ph34r:

Well WIH?! :unsure:

....at least your docs won't blame it on the anti TNF's :rolleyes:

Take it easy Shroom-ee.

So, I've got a little boy who has taken to lying about EVERYTHING. He has been grounded, spanked-which doesn't work, I even took his birthday away, which he now has to "earn back" by not lying....What do I do???? My dd went thru this phase around the same time, but it was nuphin like this, and he's SOOOOOO bad at it. He must think I'm stupid if he thinks I would actually believe what's coming out of his mouth. It's gotten so bad that he even lied 1/2 asleep this morning when I woke him up... Me, "Are you wearing clean underwear after your shower last night?" Him, "Uh, yeah..." The kid was wearing NO underwear. GAHHHHHHHH!!!

Any advice?

Still working on that one with my 15 yr old.

...let you know when I've cracked it :blink::lol:

Did they convert you out of the afib, did you convert by yourself or are you still in it??? Has this happened before? Have you had an echocardiogram to check the size of your heart, specifically the atria? If you're still in it, do they have you on a blood thinner?

Take care of yerself!!!

Rae-shull, a psillie with a speciality of cardiacness!!!

GADS we keep you busy!! ;)

There's really no way to get around it, Karreighn. :P

Nope, might just as well get yer wellie boots and embrace it

It may not even happen to you--the ensuing event has been known to cross-psillie. You want to be alert, but it could hit any one of us instead.

WHOA!!! :unsure:

Phorgot that!!

I'm keeping my head down, but a group of about 1000 G20 protesters are clashing with over 100 police in riot gear about five miles south of here. The are also reports of a possible major gas leak at the same location with fire crews responding.

WIH?!?!

Canada seems a dangerous place to live right now!! :o;)

OHHHhhhhhh...Ghana scored again!!!!! nervous-football.gif

Jacquie is at the store, but I am at home. The crowds are moving north, toward the store, but they are still over five miles away. I'm going to leave in a couple and head down there--I'll be offline for about 25 minutes if the roads are clear.

We are both at home now, after stopping for pizza (yes, Em, there) on the way home.

The thugs are still running amok in the downtown area. A fourth police car has been torched by the thugs and is still burning as of the last I knew.

There are reports in the media, just now confirmed by official sources, that police have used tear gas and have fired rubber bullets within the past three hours. Neither of those measures have ever before been needed in Toronto. Pepper spray has also been used. Open Original Shared Link

I went to Silverdale (the nearest shopping town) yesterday and decided to stop into Costco to grab just what I needed, more wine. I grab a couple bottles and as I'm wandering through the store with them I figured I may as well grab some food for Lyle. So I'm meandering through the aisles juggling wine and a case of Fancy Feast and I realized I'm like the poster child for pitiful cat lady.....

Since I was a baby and my favorite toy was a stuffed kitty, I have wanted to be a cat lady. Sister was allergic so we couldn't have one but the neighborhood cats would wait for me to come out. Married a guy who's a bit scared of cats. I'm envious. :). Dog likes cats so I'm hoping one might just "appear".

YES!! We MUST organize something... . . . somehow!!

Went to a wedding yesterday. Am hungover and still full of gluten-free food.... . . they brought out special gluten-free dinners for DH and I AND about seven other people - - word is getting out, and people are getting diagnosed! :) Ten years ago likely no one would have had that special dinner order, and nine people would be gassy, bloated and cramped up in bed through the night . ... .

How is downtown presently, POeter? Things wrap up today, methinks. . .. . ...

You guys are some of the smartest, kindest pholks I have ever met. I know you won't think I'm a loon when I ask you what you think about this. It's driving me nuts.

A while back, Burt's Bees changed the ingredients of the shampoo and conditioner I had used for quite a while. I tend to get headaches from scents, so for the last probably 6 weeks, I've been using this brand of unscented hair care.

Open Original Shared Link

I called to make sure it was gluten-free, and the lady said they don't use grain derived ingredients and that the vitamin E was not derived from wheat. Never used the term gluten-free, but I thought it would be fine.

I use it every day--some days just the conditioner. I've not been feeling "myself" for a couple months--nothing major just slight queasiness, fuzzy head, what feels like a bad sinus headache, dry lips, some tingling, and anxious day in and day out.

I'm going through a little bit of a stressful time, but I pseriously don't think that's it because that's not my normal reaction to stress and I've been through worse. I saw my ENT last week, and he said I had "Allergic Rhinitis" and a long word that means eczema of the middle ear. I already take Claritin and Nasacort AQ since those are chronic for me. Other than that, he suggested allergy testing.

The confusing part--after doing a sorta-elimination diet the last couple of weeks, I got to the shampoo and stopped using it. I started to feel better today within hours of showering and using a little Johnson's Baby shampoo, and all the stuff I was feeling is fading as the day goes on. I haven't been sleeping well, and this afternoon I feel like I could drift off to sleep. How does a person react to something like that? I just don't understand it. :huh:

Did I know Em was going to Chicago??? Was that a conversation from when I was gone . . . cuz I didn't go and read everything. Em, when are you going? If I can swing it (time-wise), count me in. We are headed to OBX Saturday . . . gonna pay a visit to Lisa while I'm there.

You guys are some of the smartest, kindest pholks I have ever met. I know you won't think I'm a loon when I ask you what you think about this. It's driving me nuts.

Now why is this driving you nuts?? . . . It was something new, you eliminated it, now you feel better. Good job!! I looked at the ingredients. It's all very chemicalful . . . of course, most shampoo/conditioners are . . . so it's hard to tell what's in it/where it came from.

Skin contact . . . sinus contact . . . inflamation/irritation that just spreads and spreads . . . I got a small rash on my face once from a product that I used in a very small local area . . . my whole face reacted . . . um :unsure: . . . it was NOT a pretty sight.

I dunno either sweetie. I think I've had an inflammatory reaction to the glue the contractor used to put down the backer board. Just what came into the air, 'cause I haven't touched nuthin.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
