Is This Some Kind Of Joke?

OMG - What a day - and it's only 2pm here. Edited: 3pm - not 2pm.

First, I wake up this morning with what I'm sure is a shingles outbreak, so I call my PCP. She's not in unitl tomorrow. As the day progresses, so does the pain, and so does the rash, but I did start anti-virals, so I've got that going for me.

Then, my husband calls me. There's been a bomb threat adjacent to his office ! The FBI is there. What next? Now, I have to sit here, wondering if he's safe ... wondering if I'm okay. The threat is for Friday, and he's not going to work, but until then, he's there. Oh, this is not good. Deep breath !

Thanks for listening.

I managed apartments in Houston back in the 80's. One time we had a bomb threat and the feds came in to check it out. They decided it was a prank ... don't know how they knew. It was scary.

But, think of it this way, the suicide bombers give no warning ... the threat most likely is a false one ... but I still wouldn't be anywhere near there on Friday!

You're probably right. It generally doesn't ever come to fruition. It's been a day to contend with. I'm not freaking out or anything. I just didn't need this today.

Would there have been a better day for a bomb threat? :lol:

I hope you're feeling better soon. I'm sure this stress isn't helping your shingles at all.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled. :unsure:

I should go do something constructive. Maybe I'll make some gluten-free bread. Yeah - bread.

Atypical Bomber : Well, I don't have time to do it today - I have a teeth cleaning at 4. I think I'll bomb your place on Friday. Who would give advanced notice? :lol::lol:

My Dad says to me - Well, that's a very gentlemanly bomber. :lol::lol::lol:

I can't stop laughing - it's just been that kind of day

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
