Need Help And Advice Please....really Sick

[tarnalberry]

Please, please both miles2go and ursa, don't assume I'm taking anyone's side or saying anything with anyone else. I'm not. I'm trying to correct a common misconception that came up coincidentally, that's all.

Sorry if I sound defensive, but it's frustrating to have people put words into my mouth that I didn't put there, especially after I try to correct it.

So, really, you need to do something about the cancer immediately... Anyway, I hope you figure it all out and start feeling better soon.

Ursa, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for overlooking this statement of yours embedded in a somewhat lengthy post. I don't think we're in disagreement here at all, I was misunderstanding you to be saying to wait on the cancer issue.

Tarnalberry, sorry likewise if you thought I was putting words in your mouth.

CarlaB, sorry that you're so sick, I really appreciate the links...

and Annettem I hope you get better soon, whatever you do. If you need some more info, please don't hesitate to PM me.

Thank you, miles2go. I actually feel blessed to finally know what it is so I can be treated! It was a long road and I had to figure it out for myself, just as many of us with gluten intolerance do. Doctors are too specialized and narrow-minded because of it ... they just don't even consider these systemic illnesses! We all end up looking like hypochondriacs.

I think I may have lost my golden retriever that hiked with me for a while on the trail to that. He had the classic bull's-eye rash and then died a year later while running with my dad. I think it may have been carditis; the medical diagnosis was heat exhaustion. Maybe not, but he was a great dog. Sad times...

I hope you start feeling better, soon!! It's not fair that we started gluten-free at about the same time and I am starting to feel better while you are not. That's just not right.

Sorry about your golden retriever. Sounds like it could have been ...

Well, if you think about it, the whole gluten-free thing isn't fair either!!

No one said that life was going to be fair, but that doesn't mean that it could be!!

Apology accepted, it was just a misunderstanding, no hard feelings here.

Dear Ursa Major, Tarnalberry, CarlaB, and miles2go,

Boy am I glad you guys are not fighting anymore! I was getting worried there for a bit! At least we can calmly discuss issues here. At least we are all mature enough to be adults. I wish I could say the same about Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump! What are they, in kindergarten? I just want to say to them, "Get a life already and grow up!"

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl
