I'm not sure if this is the place to put this, but I was wondering if there was any way we could get a Welcome center for the forum? Just a place where new arrivals can say hi and regular attenders can meet them? I just think it'd be really helpful for some ^-^

Thanks!

Most newbies identify themselfs as such. As I have seen, most if not all get a welcome. We have a wide variety of people who specialize in their duties. Some are welcommers, some are good with products and some have the technical abilities.

It does seem to work well. But I do understand your thoughts though.

Welcome Tippy, everything might seem over whelming, but it does get easier. When I first joined in Aug I was scared to death. Everyone on here is very knowledgable (probably spelled wrong) not a good day for me. You will learn alot. have a happy new year.

As a newbie, agreed

Welcome Tippy

Hope to see more of you here on the forum.

And it is so true Momma Goose, and I had never thought about that before, that we all all had our duties and specialized in them

I am not quite sure what my duty is, but I guess I will slot into my position eventually.

Its interesting this was brought up. The first thing I looked for recently when joining was an Introduce Yourself area. No doubt depends on available resources for maintenance but could be worth while.

Tippy Apprentice

Nice to meet yall too ^-^ Im usually ok with just jumping in to stuff, so it wasnt too big an issue not really introducing myself ^-^;;; I hope to get to know a bunch of yall soon!

Hi Pondlady and Tippy. Welcome to the board. Glad you have jumped in without an individual welcome thread :D It is a good thought, perhaps would be a good place to post the 'Newby" kit.

Just wanted to jump in here and welcome yall to the board!

Often, a newbie will start a thread, introduce themselves, describe where they are in the process of being sick/getting diagnosed, etc. So feel free to post it....maybe in the coping section. You'll be sure to get lots of welcomes :)

It really does! I'm also wondering what that means :unsure:

lol its a smile ^-^ happy eyes and a small mouth... if that makes sense =P i tend to make my own expressions rather than use the smilies provided @___@ but thanks for asking! i tend to forget most people dont recognize them ^-^;;;; (thats a sweatdrop)

Scott Adams Grand Master

Hi Tippy,

I recommend that you use our expressions here rather than these--people have no idea what yours are, and you will just spend too much time explaining them to everyone...thank you!

Take care,

Scott

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!
    • Scott Adams
      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.
