Mine is pretty self-explanatory! When I joined, I had seen SO many physicians. Not much has changed, I guess. With the exception that I finally gave one of neurologists a piece of my mind. Felt great. I received a notification of a certified letter from them shortly after that. I figure he's trying to "fire" me, so I didn't pick it up. If I pay him to take care of me, then I'm going to fire him. Especially since he botched a diagnosis recently.

After our Las Vegas adventure, Metta began calling me "Wheelie" . . . . . for a number of reasons! :lol: Was going to change my name then, but then had to see more physicians. Still tired of doctors!

Mine is based on the same idea as Tiffany's; I just have a much shorter name than she does. It's my first initial followed by my surname. Obviously, I'm not terribly worried about somebody guessing my complete name. I used it as an ID on computers long before the internet. If you google it, you will get buried by hits about a retired history professor in England. No relation.

Oh my gosh Peter, if you Google my old name, or my real name you will come up with a porn star and quite the busy girl she was in the 70's and 80's......This would not be me.

Gee, I did the search. You mean you didn't pose for Playboy? I'm disappointed--maybe :lol:

A funny thing happened to me many years ago. I was in the waiting room at the dentist's office. (The dentist in question retired about 15 years ago.)

The dental technician called for "Mr Sawyer." I stood up, but so did another man in the waiting room. Looking puzzled, she clarified: "Mr Peter Sawyer." We each took a step forward. She refined the name again, by middle initial, and that resolved the question. But on that morning, both Peter D Sawyer (me) AND Peter L Sawyer (no relation) had appointments with the same dentist on the same day. I asked the dentist if he got confused, and he said no, our names may be similar, but our teeth are definitely not.

Small world: In my computer consulting business, I have a client in Montreal. I was there two weeks ago, and he invited me to his home where I met his father. Turns out his father worked for a Canadian government agency which I recognized. I said they used to be a customer of mine in a former life, and that my brother's wife's father had worked there. Well, would you believe that my client's father and my sister-in-law's father worked in the same area and knew each other. Small world.

we had a conversation about this at work, and how it may be becoming advantageous to be able to successfully google yourself (only finding relatively positive things, of course), particularly when trying to change jobs. anonymity may now be a less that desired thing.

google me, and you get hits to a sterling silver spoon and a gymnast, mostly. :P my maiden name finds me, but my married name is waaaaaaaaay too common.

I chose mine, not knowing that it was a cat food brand at the time, because I love cats. But, actually I love all animals, especially four-legged ones. Also, for several courses I had to learn plants and animals by their full scientific names, which is the reason for felidae instead of something more common. They were my favourite courses.

my exotic name is a nickname from college. We had a Suzanne and a Susanna in the house which was just too confusing. I became Zansu.

fajitas are good. I like 'em. I like to make 'em - I like to eat 'em. Mmmmmm ... fajitas. I don't see myself as a fajita - it has nothing to do with my job - nothing to do with anything, really. Maybe I was eating fajitas when I signed up? I really don't know. Maybe I had a dream about fajitas. It's easy to type the word fajitas ... maybe that's why. Fajitas are spicy just like me? No, that's not it. Although, there may be some chicken reference in there somewhere that applies to me. I don't know why. I've contemplated changing my login, but there's not really a good enough reason to contact admin, so for now, I'll have to stick with fajitas - and that's okay with me.

My family likes to play laser tag (kind of like paint ball without the pain) and this is the name I use for my "code name".

Lisa - My youngest son has a name that can be either a boy's or girl's name. If you were to google him, he would come up as a porn star. This is how we ended up with strong parental controls and filters on our computer!

Hum! well I guess I could have named myself little brownie because I love brownies but that could have gone or sounded the wrong way :lol::lol:

Mine is a name that recently came about in the last couple years but grew from my original name online...

When I first went online and found this lovely little world I used ladistef... a combo of first initials of myself and hubby #1 and part of my last name way back then.

I became attached to that name even after getting rid of hubby #1 I kept the online name, its one of the few things I kept from that horror in my life (lol)

I moved away got a new job and have now changed it to what you see now.

I get the "loco" from my job, I am a locomotive engineer (yes I drive trains for a living, lol)

and the "ladi" is now more of a reminder of what I went thru to get where I am now, plus I am a girl so it kinda fits as well

Ah ha- you cheeky monkey! How dare you hide your TRUE profession from us :P ? My name is because i like Bernese Mountain Dogs, but now that I have a dog that's not a Bernese, but a handsome little fellow nonetheless, it still works because I LOVE mountains and dogs!

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
