Actually, I'm way beyond being alarmed :o It's all water off a duck's back (or is that a civbek's back?) Ahhh, that gentle rolling motion of the bed.... like a lullaby :D Only thing that would alarm me would be being trapped in the rubble.

Lots of roofers here today, none of them very alarming, a couple with biggish thumbs :o I just gave them all tea and scones and sized 'em up. Raised their blood sugar (if not their blood) :blink: I'm afraid they don't get too excited when they see me (except for the scones!).

Jestgar Rising Star

I'm pretty sure sizing up a man's scones will raise your blood, if you aren't careful. :o

mushroom Proficient

Well, I sized these scones up pretty good - they were girnormous, but it didn't affect my blood none :blink:

Of course they all went hom because it started raining. And they put little umbrellas held on with bungee cord over the ridges they had mortared in. With all the rain you guys get up there, Gyess, you must have seen these? Or do you not do clay tile roofs?

Jestgar Rising Star

No tile roofs (rarely). Mainly shingles and metal.

You do see a lot of roofs (rooves?) with blue tarp on them. It's a blue tarp kinda place Open Original Shared Link

We have regular shingled roofs 'round here, and more metal cropping up.. . . .. ..and unfortunately, the odd roof daredevil attempting epic things:

We are still here! Strange tornados going thru. They just pop up & down. Not very strong cold air tornados. Hard to see as they don't form the defined water part that makes them show a nice cone shaped.

But Rolf is a happy man :D He has been telling us about his years in East Germany "behind da wall" :o

I feel like I'm back from the dead every time I get on here! Me thinks I need to give up one of my many jobs. I've decided, and am disappointed, that I'm not superwoman :rolleyes:

Yes, because you have a lot of pictures to paint by February.... ;)

I'm thinking they probably sound similar too. :lol::lol:

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

Gah! I'm already in agony thinking about it and the hub is counting down the days! (2950!!) :o<_<:(

Harriet, a resident that my mom considers a real friend, turned 105 last week. They threw a big party for her in the lounge. She told me that one of the main reasons she has lived so long and remained SO physically and mentally fit is - - no surprise - - her insistence on having humoUr in her life, every day. She has the Comedy Channel on her TV throughout the day, reads funny books and has always searched out witty, amusing characters to interact with. It is her mission; to laugh loud and long every single day. Isn't that something? :)

I cannae picture my grandfather-in-law who is 96 watching Comedy Central. I am for certain that THAT would kill him for sure! :huh:

:lol:

Yes, depending on te neighborhoods, it's either blue tarps or solar panels :P

Karen . . . spent some time in the basement last night . . . let the kids sleep down there . . . how's 'bout you?

Smackl is "graduating" from 5th grade tomorrow. There are all kinds of end of school activities. His black belt testing (which includes extra seminars/classes) is in two weeks. He tried out and made the Tae Kwon Do Demonstration team which includes lots of additional extra classes and now demonstrations (at the opening of Kung Fu Panda 2). He starts band camp in about a week and a half. He wants to take tennis lessons. I'm ready for him to start driving himself to some of these things!!!! . . . Nope, no cryin' here. More on the countin' down side.

Who the he!! had a big turnover??? Fridge died Tuesday morning with water all over the floor as the freezer melted. Bought a new fridge by 3:00pm so that I could get it delivered the next day (yesterday). We have cooled down overnight and are now officially ready to move in . . . this thing is freakin' huge . . . didn't look that big in the store.

We were fine last night. Our tornadoes were about 11 am to 12. Lots of funnel clouds going over and occasionally coming down briefly. Sedalia which is east of us a little ways got hit pretty good. Not as big a tornado as Joplin had.

Its good to keep Smackl busy. He won't be bored, just tired.

Went to BE's parent's house to watch the Viking Fest Parade (Love those small town parades) and sent them flowers to thank them. Astonishing the amount of brownie points you get for doing such a small thing. :) And I've made four people very happy (me, BE, his parents). Life is good. :)

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
