Mom just called me to say she checked the mail,and there was a letter from one of the Hospitals in Saskatoon saying that I have an appointment (consultation) with the specialist there on November 2nd :o:blink: ....thats only 13 days away.

BUT thats like a 8 month wait haha--which is pretty sad when you say its "urgent", to wait 8 months, dont you think? Well its better than nothing...

Oh i'm nervous yet excited at the same time...finally someone new to talk to who I've never seen before in my life!!!!

I'm gonna call my Aunty maybe tomorrow, still talk to her and... yay like I need to see my hmm..6th doctor of the year? lol

Glad to hear it. It sounds like your Mom is becoming a bit more supportive, too. Will she be driving you?

(I can't remember if you are in school in Yorkton or Regina.)

I'm in school in Yorkton this year...and yeah she said she'll be driving me. On friday I talked to the head guy at the college and he said its no problem..and said just keep pushing the teachers to tell me what I'll be missing or at least say what I missed during class when I'm in the bathroom--you'd be surprised how much you could fall behind in 15 mins!! Umm he also said to ask a couple of my classmates to keep me updated on things, too or help me out if I am having issues understanding something I missed. And i got a copy of the letter to give to the college. I've already missed more than allowed classes, but since its for medical reasons they obviously haven't kicked me out of classes. :P

Mom says it depends on the weather..if its supposed to snow, we'll go the day before (obviously safer that way). Again, the college seems ok with it so far..

11 days--I'm getting more nervous!!

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
