Hmm, sounds like a glass alright, but not a glass of wine. Methinks the Karenmeister is learning to make glass. Very cool Karen, please show us some work when class is over.. Sounds like a lot of fun! :)

We only fused tonight. I left when it had come down to 1000F. We will slump next week. These first things I "cooked" tonight are just little bits of stuff to see what happens.

I took a class on learning how to make glass beads and wound up with a lot of plant sticks. They wouldn't come off the rod so they didn't have a hole. Kareeng- can't wait to see pix! You go girl!

Superman has his day of interviews and his presentation on the 18th. Man, the timing would be great!

Hugs,

P.S. go to the pain doc today and get real medicine. My back doctor thinks I should try to get my PCP to prescribe them but they're funny about prescribing anything strong. I had to get a release from them prescribing pain medicine so that the pain doc could. The back doc said he'll talk to them. He said he knows I'm not "doctor shopping." It's an hour and a half ride to the Pain Clinic and a monthly trip is a bit much. But he's prescribing 20 mg of Oxycontin every 12 hours so it can't be called in.

warning this is a hijack post!

So I have been warning my dog that one day he would eat something and it would be the death of him. Well the dog is going to live another day because of pure LUCK.

A project caused some rearrangement of junk in the garage. This caused a small bait bag of mouse poison to be exposed enough for the dog to get to. :o (I did not know of the rearrangement or the poison.) :blink:

I found the dog with the bait bag in his mouth opened. It seemed that most of the contents was still in the bag, but I could not be sure.

Had to use 1/2 peroxide 1/2 water mixture to induce vommitting. (I didn't have a turkey baster like suggested but used a large plastic baggy to "funnel" it down his throat) Up came about 2 of the pellets and the missing part of the bait bag. (along with a lot more vommit. :rolleyes: )

It seems that everything is going to be just fine. I just wanted to remind everyone to double check your pets areas for possible dangers :unsure: and keep peroxide on hand at all time for emergencies. ;)

That experience was not fun!

Some internet advise was to use peanut butter to mix with the peroxide. (that would have been such a mess, not saying that it wasn't messy

Had to use the peroxide thing to get my MaggieDog to puke one time. She got into a bunch of goody bags filled with the bite sized snickers, milky ways, reeses cups, and three muskateers. Called the vet and since it was milk chocolate and a lot of "other" (sugar and peanut) ingredients, they decided she didn't eat enough to kill her but that I should induce vomiting because otherwise she would feel horrible.

I followed the dosing directions (in the house) and then while I was watching her had the thought "I should have asked them how long it takes before she starts puking?" Alas, I got plenty of warning and got her outside (it was winter w/snow on the ground) and she started up-chucking . . . she would pause, move to another spot and repeat. Then I had the thought "I should have asked them how long it takes before she stops puking?" As it turns out, it was easy to tell . . . she started visiting the previous piles of vomitous chocolate and tried to reingest. So there I was, having to actually clean up piles of chocolate puke (with wrappers) out of the yard so the dog wouldn't eat it again.

She was a keeper!!! :wub:

...And me about to sit down to dinner... . . ... :rolleyes:

When we first got Elsie (the white standard poodle in pic), she was particularly fascinated by DD's hair scrunchies. I remember her ingesting a bright orange one, barfing it up, and before I could get to it, ingesting it again. I saw this same scrunchie three times, as this eating/vomiting/re-eating ritual happened thrice. Incredible that, repeatedly, I could simply not get out to her barfy mess in time...more incredible, though, was the pristine condition in which the scrunchie stayed after this repeated assault with teeth, digestive juices, bile etc. I thought about emailing Goody, the company that manufactures these hair things, and telling them how impressed and satisfied a customer I remain, and hopefully they would want to film a commercial involving this family situation, me in the background extolling the industrial strength and dependability of these Goody scrunchies.

I still might.....we'd get on TV, and maybe make some money.....

All I get are hair balls.

Totally slack day today. I'm lying around in my underwear, reading, with the cats following me back and forth from couch to bed to nap with me. Came back out to the LR to check on the world, Bo staggered out after me, gazed blearily at the couch, and flopped down on the floor next to the computer. Butch followed a few minutes later, but has gotten stopped at the closet where the bag of Friskie treats is kept. Was kept. He's managed to totally destroy the bag one claw at a time and just has to stretch out on the floor, reach under the door and scoop himself out a pawfull of treats.

It was quite an experience at the pain doc. Because it's a federally regulated drug he told me all of the rules & regulations for 25 minutes. Then I had to sign 5 various sheets saying I would submit to random drug testing, not sell them, not smoke pot (good thing I never followed through on getting my medical mj card), etc.. The dose he gave me was low so it's giving me some relief but I see him in a month and hope he'll increase it and give me something for breakthrough pain. The pharmacist also said it takes a fees days to get in my system.

Good news at the GI. Tested negative for Celiac so he said I have my diet under control. He was really pleased. I told him about the Forum and he's going to mention it to patients.

Time to finish cooking Rob's crockpot spanish chicken.

Love & healing hugs,

Loey

What a trip!! Thanks again for dropping down to Joisey to see us :D

Well, the phun never ends here....just got home from Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. Mark was having odd "floaters" with flashes of light this afternoon, and was sent to their emergency department this evening from the doctor's office. They feared a detached retina, but it turned out to be a vitreous detachment which is not as serious but needs to be watched closely for a while.

Tired and starving, but grateful. B) <yawn>

Wishing you a safe journey home. Rest up so you can make a trip to New England. RI is lovely and all my psillies are welcome!

Love,

Loey

P.S. if Superman gets the job he's interviewing for (cute fingers crossed please) we'll probably get a small place in Mass. Then we'll be dual New Englander's unsure.gifunsure.gif

Glad it didn't turn out to be a detached retina. Rest up girlfriend. I don't know why I didn't think to try and hook up with you when we visited Joisey in July. Must remedy that next year when we visit again!!!

Very funny Victor.... I recall talking about it but I don't remember you actually letting me know any details so we could really plan something.

Any time a silly has come anywhere near here, I have met up with them.

      Is this celiac?

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. 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...

      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...

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. 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.

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!

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.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Serena Rodriguez · Posted

      You've already identified the issue. You cannot have ANY gluten in your home EVER. It's not optional for everyone who lives with you to have a dedicated gluten free diet! And anyone who comes to visit you cannot bring anything gluten-containing into your home. All gluten containing items need to be thrown away, beauty/bath products included. All pots/pans, dishes, utensils need to go through the dishwasher. Anything too porous or delicate for the dishwasher needs to be thrown away and replaced. Your toaster needs to be thrown away and replaced. Your oven, stovetop, and all surfaces throughout your home (bedrooms and bookshelves too) need to be thoroughly washed. All of this needs to happen in the same day because you risk contaminating other parts of your home if you do only part of the job. There's no such thing as a "safe" amount of gluten in your home. Not putting your foot down means greater risks into the future for vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, damage to your thyroid, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
