AAAARGHH i'm sooooo bad at the college right now. I have finals all this week, so I came in earlier to study and just eat lunch here...

I get to the staff room, open up the freezer in the fridge ..... theres a HUGE BAG OF BUNS on top of my bread bag (which ended up not being completely sealed--for some reason the tag wasnt closing it all). So I had to move the bag myself, and discovered was was HOLES in the bag of EVIL BUNS. So I went and washed my hands as good as I could but I not sure if enough

And THEN I get to the lunch room, and the whole area around the microwaves is EVIL CRUMBS...

that was like 2 1/2 hours ago, and NOW I just feel like absolutely CRAP. PAIN PAIN PAIN and MORE pain. Went to the bathroom, and felt even more pain now.

I totally think i'm contaminated *cries*. And I write my final in 10 mins, the last thing I need is the short-term memory loss and poor concentration...

I wanna scream and cry right now :(

Lisa - I'm sorry you're having such an awful day. I'm praying that your final goes well. Lord knows you've worked so hard to stay in college during all of this.

No doubt about it, Lisa--you're having a lousy day :angry: These things happen, and all you can do is wait for the reaction to ease up, and go from there.

I know it just dosen't seem fair sometimes :( I'm sure by the time you read this, your final will be over--you can only do the best you can. Get some rest tonight, keep warm and I hope tomorrow is a better day for you :)

I'm so sorry. {{{HUGS}}} You're still going to do the best you can on that final inspite of everything that's happened.

Is there a way you can get your own mini-fridge in the staff room? I'm way too scared to put my food in a communal fridge. I like it on my desk where it's nice and safe and I can supervise it.

thanks guys *hugs you all*. makes me feel better to see your replies when i got home. I'm so out of it :( I should have been studying tonight for my final tomorrow but too much of a headache(which feels more like a migraine right now), too much brainfog, too much pain, too much itchyness!!

Everyone seems to have the idea that its my own fault i got contaminated :o (i dont see how--i'm not the one who buried my bread under a bag of evil buns!)

And just my luck, my principal will be away probably this whole week, so I dont know why I can talk to about it. I know its their staffroom and their fridge and their freezer, but I dont have a choice. You all know what its like---its either freeze it til you need it, or starve!

I'm going to bed earlier than my normal bedtime, i have a feeling i'll need it. I'll keep you updated...

P.S.: I did good on the final, but i know not as good as I could have done--forgot a LOT of the easy stuff! :/

You might try double-bagging your bread bag, or using a well-labeled, well-sealed plastic container.

Lisa,

I was going to suggest the same thing. Get a container large enough for what you would normally keep in their fridge, so all of your foods can stay together and separate. :) These are very inexpensive at discount department stores--and could save you a lot of problems.

As we all know, there's not much we can do about those around us, it's up to us to keep ourselves safe. :);)

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
