Nineteen More Days Until Summer Break- Thank God

Okay, I need to rant! I am sitting here in my recliner completely exhausted! I have the worst second grade class I've ever had (this is my sixth year in regular education). I haven't had a group this awful since I taught special education (20 years in all). I realized the other day that out of 24 students, there were only eight who had not caused a problem that required e-mails and notes home, phone calls, visits to the principal, missed planning periods (mine), etc. I hadn't been on the couch in the lounge for ten minutes today when I heard screaming in the hallway. It was this little brat who throws tantrums all the time and had just run out of a class, so I had to go deal with that. Over the past 164 days, I've had a kid smear poopy toilet paper all over the bathroom, a kid pee all over the bathroom, lying, cheating, stealing, tantruming, high maintenance moms and their extremely high maintenance kids, a kid who talks in baby talk all day, ticks, lice, hysterical crying, a constant stream of kids who claim to be sick (but look fine at recess time) and probably things I can't even recall. It's so bad that I am just waiting for my doctor to order a colonoscopy, so I can have a day off. On the bright side, I am going to have a little party for the eight kids who have allowed me to maintain my sanity this year. I know it can't make up for all the time that has been taken from them by the other sixteen, but it will make me feel better and give them a little bit of a reward for acting like civil and polite human beings. I am just hoping that next year will be better, because normally, I really like my job. :(

I have to give you all my sympathies and all the kudos that I know. Being a teacher has got to be the hardest and least acknowledge profession in the world. I have had my little one-two with a few teachers, but never without respect. (well, yes a few who verbally demeaned my children)

You deserve a wonderful summer respite. I hope it's a wonderful one.

So sorry you've had a rough class. Some groups of kids are just like that. Our 5th grade teacher can hardly wait for the year to be done - they're the trouble group in our school.

You definitely deserve your summer vacation! I'm a PE teacher, so I get to give the kids back after 30 minutes - something that has saved my sanity over the years.

Hang in there!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
