Maybe I should check your spelling (or maybe not - I might not do American so well any more) because I was promoted a grade for being such a good speller - then ended up in high school when I was eleven :( Stunted my emotional growth :rolleyes:

Ahhhh, thanks :wub: I had applied for that gluten-free writer's job on about.com last year but was turned down for lack of writing experience. I had to send in a sample and apparently, they didn't like it :rolleyes: I used to be a pretty good writer. Won some awards for my short stories and poetry in middle and high school. Maybe if you don't use it you lose it... I'll try it out this weekend and see what he thinks. Jesse had sent him my blog info and he called Jesse back saying he loved it and wanted me to write for him!

Have nae heard from the alleged Angela. I am afeared that I have frightened her with my stalking skills. :huh:

I am SO not touching the wee melons. :ph34r:

Today did not start well.

We usually take Tuesdays off, and have a chance to sleep later, and have a lazy start to the day. It started off as usual, but at 9:30 the phone rings. Associate is hearing beeping noises and Jacquie thinks it is the UPS with a power problem. I talk to Cheryl, and try to diagnose power problem over the phone, but get nowhere.

Throw some clothes on and J & I hightail it down to the store. When we get there, it is not the UPS that was beeping, it was the CPU. Cheryl has been trying to work through a "keyboard problem" with tech support. The UPC scanner and the keyboard use the same feed through a Y-cable, and she is trying to get the spare scanner to work with no success. I get on the horn with the support analyst (whom I have known for almost ten years) and we eventually get it sorted out. But it is noon before J and I get back home and can start making breakfast. :(

This afternoon, we go to a local building supply store where the service is usually good. I need a piece of hardboard cut to size for a display at the store.

Find the required object, and go up to the cashier, with my Visa card ready. ID10T cashier hits the wrong button. She then asks me if I have cash. I say, "I gave you the credit card for a reason," but find a ten dollar bill for the 8.84 purchase. She takes it, but then can not figure out how to give change. Jacquie says, a dollar sixteen. ID10T get out her calculator and still can't figure it out. :blink: Finally voids the sale and does it over on Visa.

So then we go the back where the cutting gets done. ID10T there running the saw can not grasp what I want: (1) cut the length to 29" then (2) cut the width to 23-1/4". It takes repeating the request multiple times, pointing to where to cut, and he still almost does it wrong--fortunately I am watching and stop him. :blink:

Gonna start on making gluten-free pizza in a few minutes. :)

Don't forget the ice cream! Lots and lots of ice cream :D

Phunny, I had a 10 minute conversation wif a patient's wife today about the IDIOT's who cannae count change. Even when the total comes to $8.52 and you give them a 10, they type 10 into the register and the computer reports change as $1.48, they continue to stare into the change drawer trying to figure out how to make $0.48!!! :blink::rolleyes:

Hmm. My tech support background crept into my earlier post. Most of you figured it out. B)

ID10T is pronounced eye-dee-ten-tee and is help-desk slang. "It was an eye-dee-ten-tee error" means, well, you can understand without me drawing a picture. ;)

Pizza was excellent.

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
    • knitty kitty
      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/  
    • Iam
      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
