Wondering What Happened To A Member

I can't remember this member's name and I've been thinking about how she is doing. Her husband had a stroke a few months back, and she wasn't feeling very well. I haven't seen any posts from her and I'm wondering how she is. Does anyone remember her name?

Thanks.

I think you mean Mtndog (Beverly). She's still a member, and I'm happy to say that her husband is doing very well. :)

Patti is correct. If you remember her as a different screen name, it's because she had hers changed.

I think her name change was unintentional. Some kind of computer glitch or something wiped her out as Berneses, if I am not mistaken? Maybe it's someone else I am thinking of - getting old, don't ya know, and the mind goes to mush after awhile!!!

Hugs!

OMG.... so strange. I just randomly happened to click on this one as I was scrolling through the new posts and it was about me! Weird...... I must have ESPN. :P

Yes- Mtndog is the saame Beverly as BERNESES was. It's all me! Scott accidentally deleted my account as BERNESES and I was tired of looking at all caps so I changed my user name.

I am happy to report that I am feeling better (we moved out of what we think was aa mold infested apartment and it HAS helped). My DH is doing fine. He had all his follow-ups with a stroke specialist at Brigham and Women's and is OK .They still don't know why he had the stroke but doubt he will have another one anytime soon as everything looked great (uhmm... except for the half of his cerebellum that was damaged...yeah). He has no real side effects left.

Thanks so much bklyn for asking about me, patti and carla for clarifying and Matilda for saying i was cheery! Hugs, Beverly (aka the old Berneses)

I'm glad you're doing better too, but I had to laugh when you said your husband was doing fine except that half his cerebellum was damaged ... it just sounded funny that a man can go on like normal with half a brain :lol: (all said in good fun, of course, and understanding that it could have been very serious!).

Sounds pretty normal to me - well, most of the men that I have known anyway, are operating on 1/2 a brain MAX! :lol:

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. 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:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
