Em. Has she moved to be near you yet?

She arrived last weekend. Is staying at my BIL's house, and bought herself a condo two days ago.

ANNNNNNNNNND........

It is NOT blocks away from our house, as she originally wanted -- she was actually looking at places right around the corner......:blink:..... It is about a fifteen-minute drive away.

Well, allowing for near-misses of buses and all the stopping to a) check on side-swept bicyclists and b ) exchange insurance information with rear-ended motorists ahead of her, maybe twenty minutes.

Hello Dear Psilllies,

I wanted to share my vacation with you since my return on Sunday. Back from NJ and boy did we ever need that trip! Over a 4 day period I held court (like the queen bee) saw over 15 friends spread out over various days, meals and times. Rob had the same situation with all of his friends. We started our vacation by attending a lovely 4th of July BBQ/Block Party in RI. Our 1st stop in NJ was a meal with friends who were gluten-free and it was marvelous. Our phriends came from all over NJ, Pa., and NY to see us. Superman really needed a break from caregiving and on Friday and Saturday we were apart. I took the car Friday and held court at my favorite mall (Princeton Market Faire) as my friends came in shifts and stayed in various combinations. I made a new friend (I complimented her bright cheery outfit and how put together she was - I like to compliment as many people as I can each day) and she will join us for a get together next year when we return. I spent Saturday with my old therapist who's become a dear phriend while Superman went to see Roger Waters and the Wall with a high school friend. I spent the night with her, I shopped til I dropped, ate at my phavoriite restaurants, went to a gluten-free store and bought a lot of products they don't have in RI. The temperature was hideous - 110 and humid. Getting in and out of cars was torturous.

Rob went for coffee with Sandy (old therapist I spent day and night with Sat.) while I packed and on the ride home he told me that they discussed how my identity has become my illnesses. I decided to change that immediately and next week my sweet Selia (girl I tutor) is coming over with her mom and two siblings. It won't be an official tutoring session (though I told her to bring a new book to read to me). We'll have a treasure hunt in my basement and we'l do crafts, go through my library of books I give to Selia (I have age appropriate books for her siblings) and we'll do some beading. I'll give them "treasures" as Tony used to call my beads and craft projects when he was little.

Today I start seeing doctors again. I never went to the doctor or ER when I took the nasty fall over Memorial weekend (too bruised and didn't want Rob scrutinized plus I'm sick of hospitals and doctors). I have some lesions that aren't healing but thank God they aren't shingles. Each doctor I called to see was annoyed that I waited to see them but I didn't want to go out until my bruises healed. I was also sick of doctor appointments. I'll be seeing my specialists over the next few weeks. Before vacation my PCP sent me to a pain management group (I thought I was going to have my pain meds increased - my pain level is a constant 9) but it turned out to be another orthopedic doctor. I already have one so yesterday I scheduled an appointment to see him and cancelled my follow up with the new doctor I saw. The one bad thing that happened during our trip was that I slipped in the shower and hit my head. That will probably be MRI'd or CT-scanned.

The long ride home (at one point there was rubber necking on our side due to a 10 car pile up in the other direction) afforded Rob and I a chance to talk about where we are today and how we feel about it. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason (though you might not find out why until further down the road). I had lost sight of it. We discussed how he has come to terms with his lay-off. He's making the stock market a full time job and loves it. He's studied it, watches Cramer (the hyper active man on MSNBC). If he continues to do well he wants to pay off our mortgage. Years ago he played with Margin and greed caused him to lose a lot (though we got two cars and several trips out of it so it wasn't a total loss). He learned a hard lesson and is extremely cautious now.He just needs to keep us going for 5 years and then he can retire and collect his pension from Wyeth (the company Pfizer bought).

Phew - I just realized how much I wrote and hope I didn't burn a hole in your eyes. I'm going to shower and get ready for my appointment with my therapist today. She split from the group she was working through and instead of being 20 minutes away is now an hour. I don't want to change therapists again - I really pheel a connection with her so I want to look up where her practice is and phind some interesting sights en route. I'm going to alternate phone sessions with office visits so I'll only have to make the trip to see her once a month.

I apologize for the length of this but I'v been offline so long I wanted to bring you up to speed. I hope you are all doing well - physically and mentally. I've missed you all and love you very much.

Healing Hugs and Positive Energy, wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

P.S. phor anyone new to this forum or thread. My DH's name is Rob but he's Superman (I'm Lois Lane) in most of my posts. He really showed his super powers when he saved my life in January.

Hi Lo:). Thanks for the update on you. Best of luck at your appointments-- sounds like you are in a good place emotionally. Keep us posted.

Princeton Market Faire is one of my favs! We always stopped at the Starbucks there when we lived in North Jersey and were coming down here. Plus it has Pottery Barn which I adore. Did you eat at the PF Changs there?

Shroooooo-meeeeeeeee......

Just remembered--my son (a car buff) went to a big car show in PA over the weekend and met a man who had come all the way from NZ. When he told me, I said--I wonder if he knows Shroomie? :D:unsure:

Loweeeeeeee! :wub: :wub: SO glad to hear from you.....Wow, you've been busy! Busy is always good, especially when sick.....if you can stay busy, it can't hurt, and may help.... Thinking about you on this journey...... :)

Patteigh, whenever I am in a Starbucks, or even pass one by, I always think of you and Mark, as this is where we all met in Philly and I know that you guys have a special Starbucks-thing, wherever you are..... B):)

Well, of course he does, although you didn't mention his name. As I am told every time I turn around, "We are such a small country" (excuses for why they don't have anything in stock :P ) that everyone knows absolutely everybody. He would know me by lots of names, but not Shroomie :lol:

I must add a funny.

Husband comes in from walking the dog and walked past a library chest where we house lots of useful and insignificant stuff and upon which, the router sits.

He walked by this chest and stopped. Paused. And then comes and get me. "LISA THE ROUTER IS FARTING". I asked if a tree limb hit him on his head during his walk. "No, really" and insisted that I come hear.

Indeed there was farting and lots of it, in rapid succession.

I look at his curious face and start cracking up. I pulled open one of the top small drawers. In that drawer, lives a fart machine, which we keep for simple minded adults (all of us) and nine year old grandchildren. Apparently, the battery was dying and it was giving it's last GASp.

Okay....well, you had to be there. :huh: Lesson learned...Routers don't fart. Husbands know farts when they hear one, even from strange sources. And women always know the source. :lol:

Twice - Yummy!!!!!!! And bought a house gift at Pottery Barn and clothes at Chico's, Black & White, and Anthropologie. I'd say I was a very bad girl but I had saved up my "Stash Cash" (my mother didn't work until later in life and when I quit my TV job to be a stay at home mom she told me to always take something from my food budget and stash it away - smart lady).

Love,

Loey

I was referred to a real pain management center in New Haven by my therapist. Sick of having new doctors think I'm a drug addict. My PCP prescribes oxy but extremely low dose. Rush Limbaugh ruined it for people who really need the meds. OK, no time or need for a soapbox. Will let you know what they do. Of course I probably won't get an appointment until September but I'm optimistic. Off to movies tonight. Saw Spiderman yesterday (much better than I expected) and Superman's indulging me with Rock of Ages tonight. I do need to keep on moving and living regardless of how much pain I'm in.

Love,

Loey

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
