Keep hearing about these bloody aftershocks, Shrooomie, and wondering how all are faring way down and over there. . . .. .

Will you be ditching the shaking winter ground soon and heading for your summer home?

Sshh, I'm afraid to say it, but they do seem to be moving out to sea a bit and you don't feel them so much out there as when they are under the volcanic rock :blink: But they say we can expect to have them for the next year or two :huh::o although they ARE down from four or five a day. :D

But YESSS!!!! we is leaving them behind shortly, like in about three weeks, whether the roof is finished or not (housesitter says she will see to it :D ) - what a REDTAPE HASSLE that has been :rolleyes: And whether my leg is all better or not, come hell or high water in fact.... whoops, don't tempt fate... and I hear there has been seismic activity in Nevada lately also :unsure:

I have chickens in my pocket. :ph34r::P :P

Cheep, cheep - how cute :)

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

So sorry it had to come to this Gnik, but I know it has been a source of terrible frustration for you for a long time. Have been worried about your absence and knew something must be afoot :( But yes, you have to do what you have to do and it may well turn out the best for him too. Have you been able to get some supervision for him?? Sorry, don't mean to be nosy :o

Sorry DK. :( Maybe being out on his own will teach him some sense.

Despite having bought two chargers before going to Spain, I can find nothing with which to charge my camera. :blink: I hate to have to buy a 4th charger...

Heyy Psills - how 're we doing??

Seriously need a picture of them!!

Lots of change is aphoot over 'ere.

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

This saddens & troubles me as he is only 16yrs old but simply CANNOT have him threatening me. - the stress was enormous living with his behaviour dry.gif

LOts & lots of stuph has gone on - mostly hideously embarassing for me to admit as I gave birth to him rolleyes.gif but we've finally reached the end of the line.

Our eldest son (22yrs) is also moving out (but under normal circumstance...will be flat sharing with a pal. Bachelor pad!! tongue.gif)

Soooo with just Alzey at home I'm feeling a slight 'empty nest' syndrome.

The upside is with the 2012 Olympics coming I've got 2 empty beds for any psills who wanna come wink.gif!!!!

What else....OH, and Tel's got shingles dry.gif Think stress had a part to play in that tho'

Carry on yooz peeps smile.gif

Hang in there Nik!

How old is he? Tony and I have had a horrible relationship over the past few years and it seems to have turned a corner. I imagine it will get even better when he learns about the cancer.

Sometimes parents have to do the right, not easy, thing. I'm proud of you and am here for you whenever you need to vent.

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Off to the oncologist today. Will keep you all posted.

Hi Psilles,

This will be quick as I don't feel very psilly right now. I got turned down by Disability! Now I have to start the appeal process. I started it online and it's endless. But, I didn't get on here to complain. I just miss you all and wanted to let you know I'll be offline a few days because I can finally have my lumbar and (hopefully) shoulder injections tomorrow. So it will be more rest and pampering for me. Tony comes home on Friday so I'll tell him about the CLL in a few days.

Love & Hugz,

My understanding is that everyone gets turned down the first time. Keep trying.

Hang in there and and hang out here if you need a smile. :)

I have heard everyone is turned down the first time, too. Its automatic. They probably don't evven read the info.

Hope the injections help. Make Tony do his own laundry! :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
