Isn't she in California? That would be 8 o'clock for us east coasters.

Speaking of devil dogs, I am really starting to think my dog has some kind of loose wiring. :( She has had major problems with aggression, and I thought I had gotten it trained out of her, but now this past week it's resurfacing. I don't understand, I raised this dog from 3 weeks, bottle fed her and everything :( :( I am so depressed. And sick. Ugh.

Sorry to be a downer.

You're not a downer--things always seem so much worse when you're sick :( I don't know very much about dogs, but I hope it's something like a phase that she will come back out of.

You're right about Susie and the time difference--I knew that, too :huh:

You guys are the best. :)

There is GOOD news....both masses were lipomas, plain as day. :) So NO cancer!!

However....I probably don't sound that excited because I am heavy with sadness as todya's stuff was outrageously expensive. Way more than I was told.....:o:( And I worry I'll never get out of debt.....

But as our dear Nicola said - - 'tis only money, right?

Thank you sillies, for your moral support!

Annie is just sitting here whining quietly and insistently - - she feels it was a great assault and indignance she has endured.......poor baby. So sad to watch kids and animals in pain....

Sarah - you are not a downer!! Rant away....

Must go to Spanish now, but feel I should stay home.....rather torn.....

:huh:

Susie, Fantastic News!!! I'm surprised and happy that they could have the info so quickly for you . . . they usually make you sit around, worry, and stew about for days!

Ouch on the $$bill$$ So here's an idea . . . for Christmas,instead of gifts, tell everyone that you've made a donation to LIMPSY on their behalf (maybe throw in a nice photo of Annie in her snazzy superdog outfit). If you did all the paperwork and made LIMPSY a tax deductable charity, you could probably write it off on your taxes, too.

I had Gus up asleep beside me all night, (DH was scrunched almost off the bed), and felt him sending strong canine vibes to Annie. Well done, Gus...and Annie!

Susie, consider the vet bill the ultimate Christmas present to yourself, your dogs and all friends who benefit from your terrific, happy, healthy company. Annie is vital to your well-being, so you are giving to everyone. You've done your holiday shopping...and I love Janet's idea of sending out a super-Annie card!

All right...so now our parade will include ALL pets. I'm certain that Queen Bev would heartily approve this motion. Gus used to have a tendency to hump most other dogs his size, but this seems, thankfully, to have abated. But wait...he'll have the yeti...!

:o:lol:

Why, what lovely ladies you have, Richard! And congratulations on resisting the urge to augment your photo with The Wiggles and YooHoos. :P

No augmentation needed. They are PERFECT :wub::rolleyes:

WTH is a YooHoo? I know the Wiggles (duu-uuuhhh)...you're not talking about the drink, are you? The high fructose corn syrup and cocoa powder concoction? :blink:

Has anyone else noticed . . . Richard seems to be feeling a LOT better today.

So Brits yell out drink names to say hello and cereal names to say good-bye!

I'm on my second YooHoo! :blink::ph34r::rolleyes:

Isn't that the actual name YooHoo! (with an exclamation point)...that alone should be a harbinger indicative of the migraine to follow!

(edit)

Nope, I was mistaken. The name is actually Open Original Shared Link - no exclamation mark... i had it confused with YAHOOOOOOOOO! They actually advertise "chocolatey goodness"...

Richard may being feeling better but I could not be feeling worse...last night I slept on my couch from 5:30-7:30 and went bed at 10. I am still tired and my stomach is feeling gross.

I'm back--despite the heiniosity.....I called all the utilities yesterday to have the accounts closed on Monday--well, the phone company (who also is our internet provider) goofed and shut off our phone and (shudder) internet last night. :o

I was an hour on the cell phone this morning to get it reconnected--and get this--I have to call again to disconnect :blink::angry:<_<

I've been passed off from person to person--all with that annoying, patronizing tone that this was somehow my fault, and they were doing me a big favor. :angry:

Ok--got that out! I feel much better now. Carry on :D

Oh no Amanda--you can't get sick!

Was it something you ate, or do you think you have the flu that's going around?

Get lots of rest and pamper yourself today...are you home?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
