It's about 1:15 am so i'm going to bed.

I didn't hear from Evie's daughter Shirley today.

Will post if and when i hear anything.

We'll just keep the prayers going, ok.

Thanks to all of you for your continued posts.

I posted the emails in a thread and sent in a personal email through the forum this am so it would be easier for her.

I put a post on the OMG thread when I got home mon pm. Am now eating my own types (gluten free + rotation diet) foods which I could not do in hospital, so am feeling stronger a bit. I got so low down on energy it will take awhile to gain back weight and energy. I so appeciate all of you asking about me, really pleased to have made so many good friends on the forum since April...who have all been so helpful!!

Our 2nd daughter has been here all week to help me and hubby..we so appreciate that, her hubby will be down Sat. and she will go home. So glad she could get away from her work for so long but has been in daily touch/ her main boss and doing some work from my computer too. Our oldest and youngest dd were her most of time I was in hospital, went home when this DD came. we are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for. Nurse has been helpful and wil be back next wed., and therapist coming on Mon. Not sure I will need that but Dr. thinks so, will help me get stronger am sure.

Thank you so much Judy for hunting me down and conversing with Shirley!! she is having late Than ksgiving with her wisconsin son and family and her dd + her hubby who live near her saturday. We had a very good day here and more Sat. dd and hubby here. Hope all of you had a good day, on Thanksgiving and had lots to be thankful like we have. I am thankful to be back home and so many things, so glad hubby and i wil be able to continue here Ok, I pray for that. Take care all and love too. :) evie

Evie, I'm so glad to hear you had a nice holiday with your family. It sounds like you're slowly regaining your strength. I'm sure you can rest much better in your own bed!

Your daughters sound lovely--everyone is taking such good care of you. Take care, and thanks for letting us know how you're doing. We all worry :)

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is...

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
