..hideous day here...grEy, windy, rain lashing down :(

Ah! This description is perfect for the English countryside I often see in me mind . .. ... . with Heathcliff striding through the misty, swampy hills, wind billowing up his black cloak .. . . . . :lol:

Amanda--it's so weird, I keep having dreams about moving again, looking for homes, etc. It's bizarre--I had another one just this AM before I woke up. What in hell???? :unsure:

Mygawd. . . . . in the last two weeks, I have suddenly had several appearaces in some foggy dreams of my ex-boyfriend from twenty years ago . . . . . :ph34r: What in hell is HE doing there? There he is, as I turn a corner or walk outside. Last night he told me that he is breeding....get ready. . . .ducks for a living. :huh: Then, in a horrific moment, I suddenly felt a back molar come free, and it came out!! :huh::huh:

Holy crap. This probably means that my house is going to flood, or that my mom's gonna call me tonight, er sumfin. . . . . . ...... :lol::rolleyes:

I just googled a guy I had a crush on in high school. He actually has a web page and something of a blog. It's one of those types of blogs that you start reading and think "Does this guy actually think that someone wants to read about how happy he is that Dr Who is back on the air?"

Weird to think of the paths that life takes you on (or, thankfully, doesn't take you on).

Mornin' all! ;)

Yesterday I called the Dr that the CTscan was ordered through.

His receptionist wife said she'd tried calling me but wasn't succeeding, which makes no sense at all since it's the same number she used to call me both a few wks ago & a few yrs ago.

But I went for the >1 honey:vinegar ratio & told her my ph was being weird.

It was his idea originally that the plan was to just go over the report on the phone unless something warranted more.

She wouldn't tell me why, but I now have an office visit today @12:45p to go over it.

Hmmmm .. . ..when I 1st wanted an appt it was 2wk+ wait.

Hmmm :mixedemotionsface: <or is that faceS>

Latest blood test results due late in the week - maybe Thu, maybe Sat.

Of course that assumes all goes the way it's supposed to, which has been awfully rare lately.

Hey Gnichyyyyyyyyy!! You MUST know the tv show "Skins" that I've been watching on BBC-America, right?

I'm liking it. :)

They actually put up a disclaimer at the start of each show, w/ some variations.

Cracked me up enough to freeze-frame & copy 2 of them.

Dear gawd, I know . . .. . . . .this phenomenon is very present within facebook, as well. Why do people think that their friends need to know how they are currently watching reruns of I Love Lucy, or making tomorrow's grocery list, or cleaning up Princess's furballs? :rolleyes::lol:

Hi Nik :D

Gawd, finding old boyfriends.....on Facebook, I found (easily, I wasn't looking) the guy I had my phirst crush on ever!! I was just head over heels for this guy from afar from first grade to sixth. We went to the same church, too, where he was an alter boy. ( I still remember the tiny smiles between us as he and the priest gave out communion). :lol: We went all through school together, actually, but travelled in different circles after elementary school.

I know! I checked the page of graduates from my high school the same year as me. Out of probably a dozen, I recoginized about 3. Now I know some of the women have a different last name, but I was surprised that I didn't remember more of them--or from my school as a whole.

One coincidence was that one guy I graduated with just recently did business with my sister and her husband and asked about me. I didn't know him very well, but at least I remember who he is! :lol:

First practice for Oliver! Cover your ears Susie, musical talk. For almost three hours we sang Open Original Shared Link. I may hate that song now.

*snort*

coverin' me ears. I looked at the youtubes of the Olivers for about......1/16's of a second and BAM! Clicked off..... :huh:

Soozie Avoidance Rating was high, but not as high as, say, Chicago - WORST WORST WORST and most TORTUOUS thing I've ever seen (well, only saw first 10 minutes and then the last five minutes of the movie enough heinosity for me, I tell ya)

Funny story...

Both Susie and I could only get through about the first 15 minutes! I'll let her tell her side, but I just couldn't get into it, and Gerard's beard and little braided thingy was distracting :lol:

:lol: Yes, 'tis true, I never turned it back on! didn't even care.....such a BOY movie, really. Well, it was phree, am taking it back today and don't feel guilty.

Julie - Suzanne Somers :lol: :lol: OMG - mailing list for life - that is hee-larry-us

why don't you consider litigation? Just sue her for harassment, maybe you can get TONS of money and take us all somewhere! :P

So, took the Ripper for his scan. As he was being moved into position under the scanning machine, all strapped down and lying board-straight, little arms at his sides, I hear him say to the technician, "I have SO MUCH snot in my nose all the time. Will you be able to see it in the pictures? All packed in there?"

I quickly returned, "Uh, Jack... . . .. don't ya think you see enough of it all day, every day, in your kleenexes, on your pillow, your shirt sleeves....?.. . . ."

:lol: Just loved this

Couldn't let this pass .. . .

wait..........the Bridesmaid Chapel in my dream was really more of a pollywog shape. :lol: just had to clarify. And it was very cool, I awoke trying to figure out how churches could have two of these dimly-lit, lovely pollywog-shaped rooms underneath their main chapels.....there was one on either side of the church in my dream, you see. ;)

OMG. . ....... . Jess, there is a vital difference, now .. . . . you are uterusless. Not certain what this will mean - - perhaps you will have a sudden admirable capacity for alcohol, what wif the extra space in your abdomen. . . . . . . ....maybe you will be unable to function after one drink, as there is no longer a large organ there to absorb the alcohol. Hmmm. . . . ..tres interressant....let us know the outcome. . . . . . . . :lol:

I'm really getting into this walking thing--I parked way at the end of the lot today at WalMart and walked there and then next door to the grocery. I read in Prevention that even shorter bits of walking/exercise add up throughout the day.

Ahhh...interesting summary on dreaming of tooth loss. Quite, hilarious, really, when applied to me. I particularly like this assertion:

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dreams may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation.

Right.. . . yeah, that's me. Always SO self-conscious, terrified of embarrassing myself. . . . .

:lol:

There is a new thing that you can do to a friend, besides the now old "poke", "hug', "send a beer to"- - dunno if any of you have noticed it, but it would work very well here, Patti, for this old love. You can "bump and grind" with ________.

Do you remember him being the type who'd be receptive to bumping and grinding wif you?

:huh::lol:

Back. Not toasted. I didn't realize that the bartender only waits on one section and I didn't choose a seat there. Ah well, now I know. Did have three pink fru-fru thingies. Pleasantly buzzed, but not alarmingly so.

Sooo, back to trying to figure out how to differentiate endotoxin contamination acting on endogenous TLR4 from a true effect of CD14/MD2 on TLR6.

Feel free to offer up suggestions.

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.  
    • cristiana
      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.      
    • Wheatwacked
      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
