Just got back from a lovely lunch at my girlfriend's....four of us get together every couple of months. This time we met at her big place, and for the hell of it, brought our dogs. OMG...Gus and Elsie were hilarious with two puppies and a little cairn terrier. :lol:

And we had a fair amount of champagne.....it's now, what....almost 3 pm? :ph34r::rolleyes:

And we climbed into her hot tub. Incredible! The temp outside is about 75 F, and the water was nice and cool, but still bubbly. A neat experience.

However, I believe the rest of the day may be shot. Oh, hell...........

Gawd...in my champagned state I hit reply before I'd even SAID what I hadda say...

Julie! Lord, it's great to hear you are okay after all of that terrifying swelling. What a horrid thing to have to be thinking about.........(((((HUGS)))))))!!!!!

Patti AND Carla! You both are far too young to have kids in their twenties......quite remarkable. You both look fantastic, and you must surprise a lot of people if and when your age ever comes up!

Now, ME, on the other hand....people say, "What? You've only got TWO kids? And the older is only fifteen?" :lol::rolleyes:

Just popping in to say hello. I had another 2 rough days with my reaction, it traveled from my throat to my tongue, not fun at all :( ..........don't have much silly-ness in me.

Oh poor Joo-Lea :(

Take it easy ;)

Would that be a Poob?? :unsure:

If you've got enough rope to make harnesses you could hook them all up to the car and have them pull it to the library.

Whilst shouting ''Mush'' at the little blighters!!

Excellent plan :lol:

I hope you make it ..... this is a perfect example of when it's a benefit to look stupid and maybe have DD's.

:lol: If you got it - flaunt it!!

However, I believe the rest of the day may be shot. Oh, hell...........

Ho'tub?? ;):lol:

Well we made it, and fun was had by all. Whew! And my friend's baby only wanted ME to hold her the whole time-- which I loved. :lol: She's about 14 months, and has been doing the mommy-clingy thing a lot lately. I think she figured out, "Hey, that one only has boys. She'll coo and spoil me the whole time if I allow her to have me." :rolleyes:

Emily, that sounds like so much fun!!! I wanna come next time. :D

Btw, Em... there's a panicky mom whose diabetic son was just diagnosed with celiac disease. You may want to Open Original Shared Link Sounds like she could use some advice.

'Twas that, indeed. Exactly. A BLGS day . . .... I'm SO fortunate to have it happen only three or four times a year... ... . . <_<:lol:

Now, I've found another word that makes not just one's mouth, but whole face, it would seem, attractive when enunciated: interlobular. :lol::lol::huh:

I don't think I told you guys....I got my hair cut--short :o:o:o

Remember how it was uneven, and driving me nuts? I tried a salon that came well recommended right on the little Main Street of our town.

Anyway, this really nice stylist took me right away (I only stopped in to make an appointment) and did a very nice job--it's short, but it's an excellent cut.

Get this--her daughter tested weakly positive for Celiac when she was 19--3 years ago. The doctor said it was a low positive, so she didn't have to go on the gluten-free diet. :huh: This girl gets outbreaks when she is under stress.....among other things. (This came up because I told the shampoo girl I just wanted my hair rinsed......yada, yada, yada)

I gave the mom as much info as I could and invited her to come on the board, just to read if she wanted to. She asked a lot of questions and said she looked forward to talking to me about this some more the next time I come in. Which I plan to do cause I really liked her and the whole salon. B)

I have to say I'm loving not blow-drying :D

The chemical straightening really took it's toll after a while--the girl who did it for me was excellent, but that stuff is potent. My hair was breaking and shedding and to tell you the truth, I kinda wanted to go more natural and stop using so much stuff on it.

I will probably grow it out a bit now that all the processed parts are gone--so yeah, I'm starting from scratch again! :P

EXACTEMENT. I imagined this, also. However, I was quite impressed with myself and my ability to drag myself, struggling mightily, into my sage, helpful persona and, well......offer a post that was responsible, mature and serious.

Helpful? Bah!!

I so very rarely partake in this kind of mid-day decadence....what kind of timing does this mother think she has, anyways?? :huh::lol:

I know what you mean. Lyme did a number on my hair. Much of it fell out and what was left broke. When I began treatment, it started growing back, so it's taken this long to replace all of it. I have about two inches of bad hair left, but it's not worth getting cut off right now as it's not that bad anymore. It's thickened up to where it used to be. Thankfully it was thick to begin with .....

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
