Just an update for my dearest psillies.Clark got his lay off date two days ago. Unlike most of his department (who are done June 17th), Rob is being kept on until August. He has the choice to work until mid August or the end of August. He'll decide which as soon as he sees when his Master's program starts.

Tony is a happy camper because he can get the two weeks off this summer that he wanted to go back to NJ (Clark and I are only staying a week). He has two female friends that he bakes with and one of them goes to Brown with him. He likes her and feels it finally might be mutual. Poor baby is 0 for 9. He has been EXTREMELY helpful around the house and back to being my sweet boy.

Clark is taking medical leave starting Tuesday next week to take care of me. I might have a lot of illnesses and his getting laid off sucks but I still feel SO blessed to have the life I have and a big part of that is my all of you in my online family.

um, Lo... :unsure: P'raps you didn't read the contract before you signed up to be a psilly, but we don't allow excess illness here. You'll just have to spend the summer feeling great. I'm sorry that wasn't made more clear to you, but you did sign the contract....

Now who says I don't feel great (emotionally and in great spirits due to all of you and this thread)! Should I do my updates on illness on a different thread?

Love,

P.S. I plan on spending my summer recuperating on the beach or in my backyard. Clark bought me a cook chair that has a pillow and if you flip the pillow over there's a face hole so you can tan on both sides.

Low, we absolutely need to hear psilly stuff AND pserious stuff, whatever is going on in one's life that needs to be shared with good friends. These incredible people have gotten me through the death of my dad, my dog and then my mom's stroke, quite literally - - I laid it all out on here, and mygawd, how they have helped me! :wub:

Oh, this sounds divine. . . . ....

I wonder if they have personalized prototypes for this chair. . . ....like, if you're buying one as a gift for someone who has an enormous nose, is there a huge hollowed-out nasal area? Or if your chin sticks out really far.. . . .....or you have a Cro-magnon brow ridge? Might be quite a market for this. . . . . . ...

They did have one with a cup holder on the arm but I like the other idea of a place below the phace.

And I don't plan on losing it. Just didn't know if I should take the serious stuff to a serious thread. I consider this thread as my home smile.gif . I do go to other threads to share and see if I can help but I always leave this one with a smile on my phace.

I'm using bed time to an advantage. I read or make earrings. When I feel good I paint in Clark's study. He really has been Superman and has been serving me meals in bed so I know I have a LOT of blessings and I count all of you psillies at the top!

OK, off to bed to finish a good trashy book.

P.S. Tony's grown up a lot this summer. He was able to get two weeks off this since it's far enough in advance to get coverage (there's a girl back home who also goes to Brown) and they bake cakes together. He likes her and thinks it's mutual. Perhaps it will be his 1 in 10 (poor Tony blink.gif). Anyway he's a happy, helpful camper this summer. He's going to be a dishwasher at Ninety-Nine (like TGIF) AND we get a 25% family discount there if we go to dinner with him. They have a gluten-free menu.

He just got back. He said it was mostly a " this is the job. Are you interested?". Said they will decide next week. Who knows? No mention of money. It's a " summer internship" so it's possible it doesn't pay. :o

Well, experience is pretty important. It may get him paying jobs later.

I'm thinking of sending him to Rachelle. She needs a manny. However, I fear that J & Max together might be a dangerous combination. :blink:

Indeed. . . . . . . ...:unsure:. . . . ....What words does J use to refer to his own, or anyone else's, testicles?

:lol:

I told him the whole story. I put it on FB. He said to tell Max that he really shouldn't need to refer to them very often. Also, he said that he feels that he likes to have a broad vocabulary. Therefore, balls, nuts & testicles are all used in his social & sporting world.

Tho hopefully not in his interview! :ph34r:

However NOT in the company of women, moms included. Men need their own language.

I have moved the chicks into the sun room. built a pen out of a modular wire bookshelf and put both of their boxes in there. Oddly, they still hang in cliques, the 5 older ones in one, and the 4 younger in t'other. Also got them bigger food and water sources so I don't have to feed and water every 12 hours.

My living room smells so much better. :)

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      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

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm. Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
