*sigh*

I think I get 'congratulated' again :P (I did fairly well on the math section).

Congratulations! ( tho I don't think this is the kind of contests she is hoping for ;) )

Gads. Just spent two hours putting away laundry. Now that I'm coming out of my math induced haze I'm beginning to realize just how much I didn't do around the house. I suppose I had to wash the clothes to keep from running out of undies, but that's as far as I got. There's enough junk mail piled up to qualify me as a 'hoarder' and we're down to the last bit of kitty litter. Instead of the offered congrats from BE, mebbe I'll ask for maid service instead.

I've been doing non stop laundry since my son got home. Clark bought him a beard trimmer so he doesn't look as scruffy. Today I take him for a haircut and pick up my prize from my painting class. We donated gifts to a foster home and I won first place. It's a load of supplies which is great because I was going to need to buy supplies after next month and they aren't cheap.

OK, I better run before my son showers and uses up all the hot water. Jess, stop thinking about math and keep thinking about congratulations with BE!!!!..

hugs,

Loey

Got the same cold. Clark gave it to me as an early Xmas present. Enjoy the skiing. You're not the type to let a cold keep you down!

The cold didn't, but the foot of snow that we weren't expecting did <_< If I was riding with someone else, I woulda been fine, but I was driving, so that wasn't happening :( I put on my snow pants and boots and went 'snow-Ugging' thru the golf course. Twas the best workout I've ever had!

The rest of the weekend went tits-up. Was one of the worst in history. I, am apparently, a selfish b!tch..... :unsure:<_<

You're not a selfish jerk in the least. You didn't complain when DH changed plans on you. Hope Santa makes this up to you. Wish we were getting snow. We were supposed to all week but only had a snow shower this morning. Of course I'll sing a different tune when it does snow.

My son is belting out songs from Jesus Christ Superstar in the shower (he takes 2 to 3 a day). He's going to need a LOT of practice to make Alcapelo next year (and this is coming from a mother who is very prejudice). He's missing some major notes. He's also in a snarky mood because he misses his friends from Brown and from High school.

Hugs,

Loey

Santa didn't start shopping till Sunday night. I won't be getting much of anything, I don't think. I know my kids got me something. Those are the gifts I love the most!

Maddie sings in the shower too. Actually, she sings everywhere!

If you live in an apartment maybe someone burned something they were cooking. We came home from the movies once and our carbon monoxide alarm was going off. We had the windows open but wound up calling the pfire department anyway. There wasn't a problem but evidently when Clark was putting in the hard wood floors he didn't cover the alarms and dust got in them and triggered them several months later. Glad you're OK and there wasn't a pfire.

I'm ok--right after I posted I saw a firetruck, police car, rescue squad van, and an official pickup from the fire dept arrive just outside the parking garage....but no more alarms or anyone at all in the hall. I called the office, and she said it was fine, they only came out for "a precaution". Needed to make sure since I'm on the 4th floor. ;)

Who knows...this happened once in Texas--turned out to be a couple kids setting off the alarm.

Tony's taking my car to get us (Clark & I) presents today.He asked if there was anything I wanted and I told him a flannel nightgown (when I'm bloated and flaring my PJ's are uncomfortable). He said he wanted to get me something I wanted not needed. I think he didn't want to go into the lingerie department. laugh.gif

He's always gotten me cute presents. One year I worked with the principal from hell and he got me a voodoo doll. Last year he went to build a bear and made me a hippie jew bear (I'm jewish).

I told Clark I really don't want a gift from him because my UI is running out and I don't know if or when I'll get disability or be able to start working. Last year he got me a new iPod.

I'm going out to finish shopping with a girlfriend in a little while. It's taken 7 months but I'm finally making friends here. Part of it was being a hermit because of this illness. Luckily I had all my psillies!!! biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Off to get ready for shopping. I also need to see if I can find Turdunkin (sp?) and if it's gluten-free. Tony suddenly wants that for Christmas. He is the hardest person I've ever tried to feed !!!!!

Yeah. I think if he had some issues he needed to discuss with me, after 4 hours of drinking and playing poker with the guys was not the best time to do it! He usually gets me some pretty thoughtful gifts for Christmas. This year, I think I shall be an afterthought. I'm surprising him with a trip to SLC to visit his best friend he only sees once every 2 years, but whatever <_< I will be putting all my energy into my beh-behs.... And cakes.... Got 3 orders late last week for 6 cakes for the 24th and 1 for the 26th! :)

So glad you're all right!!!! Fires are terrify me. My parents house burned to the ground on Rosh Hashanah one year. It was sewer gas and had been building up and it's like carbon monoxide so no one smelled it. Our entire family was pulling up as the fire trucks were tying to put it out. The phone had melted off the wall so we couldn't call anyone (pre-cell pnone days). Thankfully no one was hurt. You know how they say that your personality comes out in what you grab from the house? I grabbed my dorm keys, my father grabbed the safe box with all of the important papers in it, and my mother grabbed dinner. We went to my Aunt's house and my mother made us eat the chicken. It tasted like smoke.

Thankful you're OK!

Loey

P.S. I called the fire department 2 years ago because I smelled a fire and it turned out to be our neighbors BBQ'ing Clark didn't let me hear the end of it for a while.

Well, we had a little excitement in the neighborhood this morning. We had some guys come through in the middle of the night and steal everything out of everyone's mailboxes. Apparently they hit a different area of town the previous night. They go through the mail looking for the gift cards and cash and dump everything else. The got a prescription for Xalatan for Josie's glaucoma that I was mail ordering. They got about $80 worth of gift cards from the neighbor. Merry Bah Humbug Christmas. Oh well, I'm not out any money, just inconvenienced to run to the vet specialist to pick up a new script. Thank goodness I'm running behind and didn't have more stuff in the outgoing mail. The policeman that took my statement was a cutie . . . although I was in my pajamas and had not brushed my teeth yet . . . I tried not to get too close. :ph34r: He then tried to make the kids think that he was there because of them and that they shouldn't look so surprised and "You, know what you did." :P

How scary and definitely Bah Humbug!!! I'm glad the prescription was all that was taken but it's still a pain in the neck that you have to go back to the specialist. I don't mail gift cards but I do mail checks. Hopefully the (cute) cop will get the guy/s!

I didn't know there was a gluten-free brand. We saw a show recently about how they make popular holiday foods. With the Turduckin, there was stuffing all over the place! The workers took gloved handfuls of it and stuffed the birds but it got all over the place. If they did a gluten-free version, it would need to be done in a completely different room!

Jyaghnutt, that mail thievery sucks! :angry: Well, let's hope that they were young kids, and one of them will rip open Josie's prescription bag, stare at the bottle, break into a huge, disbelieving smile and exclaim, "Whoa, lookit this!! Meds for glaucoma!! My mom has glaucoma, an' she's goin' blind, an' we got no money, no drug plan for medicine! Man, Her face when I give her this - - this won't be such a bad Christmas AFTER ALL!!"

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So...

My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!

It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative.  I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to my original symptoms. I got more careful/serious. Now at the end of week 2 I had another flare-up. These symptoms seem to get more intense. My questions:  1. How do I know if I have celiac and not something else? 2. Are these symptoms what others experience from gluten?  When I have a flare-up it’s completely debilitating. Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t move. Body just shakes. I have lost 10 pounds since going gluten free in the last two weeks.
