i am SO in! If you want I can post my letter here to give other people ideas as I've never actually met Lynne in person, but somehow that doesn't seem to matter. :D She's crazy amazing and I shudder ti imagine how fabulous she is in person!

Just checked the website for Extreme Makeover Home Edition (ABC) and what they want to know if you are nominating someone is: What is you family's CURRENT situation and how does it affect your family's home? Why do you need a makeover? What makes you deserving? What makes your situation unique?

thank you beverly for the wonderful email letter. i can open attachments if they are attached priperly - he he. i am such a computer nurd LOL.

rachel, just speak from the heart. most of the people who are sending me letters have not met lynne in person, but only here on the forum or some talk to her on the phone.

i watched one show where a town nominated a family. so on the part of the form that asks who is nominating lynne, everyone's name will go there. then on the cover letter in the signature part will also be everyones name. momma goose is going to help me with the cover letter. i think all of the signatures will be attention grabbing and that is what we need as they get thousands of letters a week. they also do not let you know if they have received the application and video. so, i will use a signature required delivery card. i am also making back up copies of everything in case it gets lost in the mail. if they accept you, it might be up to two months before they call. karen thinks we have a good shot, since celiac is in the news. what i hope is that i can get this in the mail immediately after thanks giving. i want us to be first. dave has forms to fill out and a video to take. then needs to send them to me.

thank you also turtle for a fantastic letter.

and listen everyone, they do not all have to be fantastic. THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THE LETTER COMES FROM THE HEART.

I've only PM'd Lynne a couple of times about things on the board, but have always appreciated her positive outlook and encouragement. I'm thinking about writing a short note - would that help?

Do you still need help copying the email into a post? It's really easy and simple to explain.

somehow or other i deleted lynne's list of all the neuro diagnosious (sp). i had printed it out for the application, but i guess i was over zealous about deleting so many emails. when i feel up to it, i will try and type the main ones in.

and any letter, no matter how short is welcome. could you please do it as a attachment. i thank you on behalf of lynne.

Try looking for it in your "Trash Folder"?

lisa, i am such a clean freak, that i empty my trash right after i delete.

here is the list:

gluten ataxia

occulomotor apraxia

word retrieval disorder - caused from the cerebellar damage

peripheral neuropathy - caused from the cerebellar damage

autonomic disfunction - inability to sweat (when goes out into the summer heat, she is literally cooking her muscles and organs) includes sporadicblood pressure changes with extreme lows where the doctor himself cannot get a pressure reading; minimal to no tear production;decreased saliva production; decreased small and large intestine peristalsis; heart rhythm changes; also from the cerebellar damage.

dysphagia - difficulty swallowing - same cause

dysarthria - difficulty talking - starts slurring her speech and the tongue goes into spasticity - same cause

raynaud's pheonomenon

psoriatic arthritis - now being questioned by the geneticist as ankylosing spondylitis

ehler's danlos syndrome

fatty liver disease (she thinks that sounds funny)

polycystic ovary disease

hyperinsulinemia

metabolic syndrome

and then she lists all of the areas that have been damage from her falls. the damage has been permanent.

please everybody, lets keep this thread on topic. this is very serious and we need to get lynne and dave that extreme makeover for their home.

she sees the doctor today to find out what the MRI says. the last fall was very serious.

she has a bug right now and feels worse then lousy. she sleeps a lot and is taking percocet for the pain from this last fall.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
