OMG... . . .... I've been reading along, larfing and remembering the whole world of IEPs and other school highlights. . ...but honestly, I cannot get me mind off Angela. Who IS this individual, this woman who, for whatever the reason, decides to post, worldwide, a detailed photo of her urine jug, all ready for laboratory processing. Who does this?? And.. . .WHY??

"Okay.. . ....I've got this 24-hour urine collection to do.. .... .. I think I need to share this... .....There are people, certainly, who would be fascinated to see my own assigned jug, with my name and particulars taped to the handle. Surely this should go beyond my friends on facebook - - I need to post this online so that ANYBODY can access it through google images..... .... there are people who may NEED to see this photo. All right, let's fix it so that anyone can find it via an "ORANGE URINE JUG" google search. .. . ." . . .

Who in hell IS this person?? .. . . . . . . .....

Methinks we need to find her, and get her into Psillyville. . . . .

:huh:

:lol:

if we find Angela, and she doesn't know her jug was posted on the Internet, and she lives in the US, she can make a lot of money off the lawsuit! Also, I think Canada & the UK have similar laws. Think we could get a finders fee?

actually, where did the photo come from? We really might be able to find her if it's real!

Gnick! Please post this again.... . .I canna see a photo! I MUST see what my fellow Commonwealthers utilize to collect urine. Here it's quite a good system - - large jug, easy to pour contents into, highly recognizable. .. .. . .... .

Man, I've just had a great idea. A North American Orange Urine Jug would be a FANTASTIC Hallowe'en costume..... . . .

Hmmm, yes, Angela. .. . .. . . .her last name is clearly visible on that tag. Nuttin' anonymous, here. Methinks I am going to carry out a search for her on FB, and then befriend her. I'll send a corresponding message, where I can casually ferret out the facts: whether in fact she knows that this urine photo is up for the world to see. "Hi, Angela.. . .I'd love to be your friend. I feel like I know you so well, as I've seen such intimate, telling things about you through google images. It would never occur to me to post such a subject matter in a photo - - suppose you divulge to me your reasons for doing this, as, actually, it is driving me a little out of my mind".. . . . ...

I'm back at the boy's house till Wednesday....overseeing the installation of a back yard shed so he doesn't have to take time off work. :)

Busy weekend at the apartment--down to just a phew boxes (all Mark's stuph... <_< ). The man is a pack rat if I ever saw one :rolleyes:

Holy crap.. . . ..canna believe how long it's been since anybody's posted! :blink: If everyone's been busy surviving through a surprise earthquake, I DO hope each of you assumed the position, prone with sippy cups, beside your bed or huge stack of paper. . . .. ...

To resume the Psilly dialogue, I will make the following important Royal Announcement: Can anybody guess what I am doing today, over the next twenty-four hours?

Why, THIS!!!!

Have found the name of the health care system. Angela is in Newfoundland or Labrador. When you say that around here, we think of dogs not places.

Also, looks like she was in the hospital. Doesn't it look like a hospital room and the jug is sitting on the table that goes accross the bed?

Can anyone see it clearer? Her birthdate is on the tag. 1944? fuzzy here.

"Toot sweet" is derived from "tout de suite," a French phrase which tranlates literally as "with all speed."

If I send Angela a note, what do I say? Where did the pic come from? I googled "24 hour urine collection jug" and found many pics but not that one. Where are Em & Nik when you need some clever wording?

I messaged Angela on Facebook. I told her we chat on a website for people who share a disease and someone was doing a urine collection and that she posted that pic. I said we decided to see if we could find her on the book. I asked why she posted that pic. We will see if she has a sense of humor. :ph34r:

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability.

      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
