Hi, Susie!

Oh, crrrrrrrrraaaaaap..... :(

I'm so sorry you've got this crap goin' on.

I just keep wanting to say, what can I do? But of course, you're not just next door! Again, though, we know you've got your David, now....this makes me feel much better. :)

Yes--Emily said this so well. I wish there was something I could do--I know we are all very supportive of one another, but sometimes it is just so limiting :(

You know what I mean ;)

I, too, am grateful that you have David there with you....you know, I kinda really understand how you feel. I don't travel well (I've gone into detail ad nauseum) and I know that next week--after a weekend of non-stop people and all the talking, drinking, not eating like usual--I will most definately need time to myself to come down from the whole thing. I will be utterly exhausted and almost over stimulated--

I don't know, Susie, hopefully after a day or two of getting back into your normal routine things will begin to look up. Be patient with yourself :)

Ohhhh thank you, my lovely girls. :) I really do just need tons of sleep, good food, and time to myself, most likely. Time to readjust - - Patti, sounds like you understand....we are just not good travelers. Well, I know *I'M* not - it makes me sad.....I envy people who can just go - think nothing about it - and everything's fine. :(

Gotta run, again. Picking up Kissey to go to Jenn's (aka Fluffy Cat - we are now calling her our daughter :lol: ) and set up her stereo, etc. I just want to go to bed, this instant.......

I really do wish you a;; - WE all - were closer. We could drink absinthe tea and just commiserate and laugh and howl and cry and sympathize.

:wub:

WELCOME home susie Q

I so agree. It's hard to pack for us to go............and I ALWAYS need at least a week to re-group.

You'll be fine........hugs, love and kisses to Annie.

But.......maybe Ptaum isn't really doing it......perhaps THAT was the April fools trick. Maybe he's feeling incredible (gee, it'd be great if this is the case)!

Humaworm

Two questions- Is it hum-a-worm (like Hummer Worm in Boston speak) or hume-a-worm?

More importantly Ptaum, are you prepared for what is gonna come out your bum bum? :ph34r: I scared (that's 4 year old speak).

Yes--Emily said this so well. I wish there was something I could do--I know we are all very supportive of one another, but sometimes it is just so limiting :(

I would have you guys over EVERYDAY if we lived closer. Sigh- it does get lonely when everyone around you has a job........Law and Order only goes so far!!!!!

Susie- Vegas is designed to mess with you...no clocks, exits hard to find, all the bright lights. Get lots of rest and drink water and eat your veggies. I would tuck you in with a wee spray o' lavender on your pillow (but I'm SURE David can do it!)

Where is everyone? Patti? Nikki? Sarah? And we haven't heard from Alex lately...I think about Colin all the time, and I'm dying to hear how he's doing...

That's very sweet that you think about Colin and how he's doing. He's had his peaks and valleys which is to be expected I guess but definite overall improvement. Good story . . . Colin called me today to say that he couldn't stand the gluten-free diet anymore and didn't think it was worth it. Of course I was upset and worried and begged him not to do it. He let me go on for a couple of minutes and then interrupted me with . . . April Fools! :lol: His sense of humour coming out is definitely a good sign!

Just bonkers and overwhelmed and crazy and sad. What in hell? :blink:

Las Vegas is bonkers and overwhelming and crazy so maybe it just made you temporarily a little wackl? :blink: When I went to Vegas as a kid, my mom ended up staying in the hotel room with Colin much of the time because he was so stressed and out of sorts from the experience which was pretty uncharacteristic of him at the time. But whatever it is, I hope it passes quickly.

I went to Vegas as a 'gluten brain' and it was OVER WHELM time for me then. Wouldn't go back even now........too much stimulation for me pea brain.

Alex...so happy about Colin..........I've been following you..........the sense of humor is a good sign.

April really IS a good month for everyone on here!

In my world, April brings me the birthday of sweet niece # 1, the 39th anniversary of my wonderful parents, and birthday #27 for Eric!

Susie, Hope you have some time to recover from your trip!!!

:lol: the BARPHS first??????? OMG - - it's kind of embarassing. :ph34r:

I'm taking an antibiotic, and it did say upon googling that it is most important to NOT drink whilst taking, even for three days after cessation of treatment. So - I stopped the treatment on Friday (had only had two days of treatment). :lol: OMG - - it's very true - you canNOT drink on this stuff. I had not had an extraordinary amount of alcohol......and just start barphing rather quickly. In the cab...on the way home. I opened the door twice, during the very SHORT ride, and just hurled. The poor cab driver was quite worried......and so anywho - I barphed one more time in the hotel. In Jenn's bathroom. :lol:

Susie! I must ask one crucial question! What antibiotic was this?????????? :ph34r:

Guys we are having the craziest weather here! Tonight it is 68 at 10:30 at night, Jen and I just came in we took Landen and her doggies for a walk around our housing development, the winds are a bit strong but other than that the weather is great.

How is everyone else.

Alex good to see you again :)

Susie Vegas is crazy!!!!

Good Morning, Sillies!

Well, your splendid winds have made their way up here, Amanda...the trees are being buffeted about like crazy. Gus is standing out in the yard, snuffling and sneezing--quite phunny!

All the talk about birthdays, and I never once even THOUGHT ABOUT my DH's, which falls on the 9th. Gad......another subscription to Runner's World? New putter? New shaving bag? Ugh, men........ <_<:rolleyes:

Morning Sillies, what a difference 12 hrs makes. It goes from being like 70 to 30 this morning....The temp actually started to drop after I posted last night, before we went to bed at 11:30 it was down in the 50's but felt colder due to the winds.

Emily....forgot the birthday is on the 9th? Well you still have a few days ;)

Susie are you feeling more relaxed and rested today?

Sarah how is the mountain?

How is everyone else doing?

Hi Amanda--

I'm getting some things done around here--just put a loaf of bread and some rolls in the oven....

Allo must be feeling better....I was playing with him a while ago, and he bit me! :huh: Now I have a nice scratch on my thumb <_<

Are you feeling better this morning? Hopefully Susie got a good night's sleep last night and is taking it easy today.

Where IS everybody? :unsure:

Good morning/afternoon/evening sillies as we are ALL over the planet!

Alex- that's AWESOME! It's one thing for an adult to go gluten-free because for the most part, you get it (although some don't) but kids have a harder time because they don't want to be different. He's a trooper!!!!!!!!!!

April really IS a good month for everyone on here!

In my world, April brings me the birthday of sweet niece # 1, the 39th anniversary of my wonderful parents, and birthday #27 for Eric!

Susie, Hope you have some time to recover from your trip!!!

It was a happygirl driveby! Come back! Come back!

I have a feeling it was the one you REALLY don't want to drink on :ph34r:

Patti

A. Coming over for fresh bread

B. You remind me so much of my mom- I think it's that you have a similar personality and Allo looks like our first kitty and my mom was always playing with the cat and getting bit. :wub:

:lol: :lol: I always liked "underwhelmed". "You know that was pretty good, but honestly, I'm a little underwhelmed," she thought as she counted the tiles on the ceiling" :P

Hey, Patti, this is good news! The old gentleman gave you what for... :rolleyes:

Just what is 'whelm' and why do we feel bad when we're over it?

I suspect that Whelm was in fact a man...probably a German man...say, Whelm Schmidt. He had a series of torrid love affairs, and left a trail of young maid's broken hearts in his wake. The word is from the resounding depression and helplessness of these poor girls as this rogue moved on to his next conquest....the feeling of grief, of trying to get overWhelm.

Uh.....I have no idea where this word comes from. :huh:<_<:lol:

How are you today, Susie? Come and tell us.....

I'll bet they have Spring Fever--the two of 'em! :P It was so warm last evening--we had the door open almost until we went to bed and Allo loved it :)

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
