Buddy the truck will live for $440. Auto shop guy said he was really lucky he didn't damage it more. Should be out of car hospital today, just in time for 6 am football!

Glad the toe is gonna make it. :P When mine was growing back in, it looked like it was growing inwards, but it never did. It took forever, and was pretty gross, but it ended up fine.

The auto shop is quick--you won't be wifout it fer too long.

I feel so old! I have an appointment with a Podiatrist tomorrow. That just seems to me someone old people go to. I bruised my big toenail and it fell off after a long while. The new toenail isn't growing in right. Its like its trying to grow into my toe instead of over. I'm just falling apart!

You highness, please refer to this post. I bruise it every year in my ski boots. He gave me whY he called "toe condoms". They are little silicone covers that go on your toes. They help protect your toes by spreading out the pressure so it's not all on my nail.

Ahhhh . . . a new phrase for our psilly dickshunary.

Ckairenne . . . glad no one got hurt . . . and quite frankly, as bad as this sounds, that $440 price tag could have been a helluva lot worse, too.

Psillies!!! I have been called back to my former preschool position!!! Did I tell you that I volunteered to be layed off?? . . . can't remember . . . they needed to reduce the staff because enrollment was down and there were some people there that truly needed the job a lot more than me. Anyways, I volunteered to not come back and to work as a sub if they needed me to. Well, I got a call this morning that they could use me . . . although not for as many hours. The money is really pretty lousy, but I don't have anything else going on, so what the hell.

That sounds like a fun job. Also, sounds like they like you, so if any more hours come up, they will go to you. I am one of those people that actually like little kids, too.

Hey psills--I think I may have had a breakthrough. Remember when I was whining about shampoo and stuff--it seemed like everything was making me sick? Well, as you know I'm spending some time at Matt's. He does not have a dishwasher and uses the same dishwashing liquid I did--Clorox Greenworks.

Bear wif me....I had been feeling off for a while before coming up here--not gluten but eczema, fatigue, indigestion, nausea, dizziness (kind of), stuff like that. It dawned on me that I had been cooking for myself down there and using my non stick pan a lot (I was doing grilled cheese a lot, and thought my bread was making me sick). Then washing it out wif the Greenworks. Up here, I am the dishwasher and was using it for everything and was feeling worse.

The kicker--Greenworks is almost entirely from coconut :o I have known I was intolerant to coconut for years--to actually eat-- it but I guess using it daily on dishes was too much. Add to that, the California Baby shampoo and the special unscented soap I send away for also contain coconut--it all came to a head.

I just got a bar of coconut-free soap to try,

and have switched back to Palmolive dishwashing liquid. The switch to Palmolive made me better, but I was still dizzy and the eczema was a bit better, but not gone.

Since using the coconut free soap, and making sure I was 100% coconut free, I'm not dizzy and my eczema is actually clearing!!! I've been dizzy for over 3 months now, and along wif the GI stuff, I was getting really worried that something was up. It was feeding my anxiety and when that happens I just tend to go through the motions but worry under the surface all the time.

I know this is long, but I wanted to tell youse guys! A few years ago, I found out that I couldn't tolerate filtered water from my own fridge because the filter was primarily coconut hulls. I learned that here on the board. I wish I had been as diligent about coconut as I am about gluten on the topical use. Or maybe the sensitivity just got worse--who knows?

Anyway--woo-hoo :D

:rolleyes: I was just waitin' around to see who would finally break down and post first . . . :P

Anyway--woo-hoo :D

Oh Jan-it--she's still having symptoms? It's definitely tiresome to keep having to play detective with this stuff. :(

It does make me wonder though, how many people who have things like migraines and other unexplained maladies actually are reacting to something they are eating/using/have in their enviroment. I wouldn't have ever thought of these things in my previous life.....

I hope you get it figured out soon. ;)

Hub keeps getting them. They have him call and then say they don't need him and will send him a jury duty slip another time. I got called but I just had a baby or something and I think my response scared them off. Also, I registered as an Independent & that may have scared them off. :)

so maybe tell them your a pregnant Independant whose relatives are all thieves?

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
