The "Real Feel" temperature was 107. It is so humid that my glasses steamed up when I got out of the air condidioned car and I couldn't see where I was walking.

Something that is more associated with winter...and I see we have heat advisories again for tomorrow. I heard on the news tonight the overnight low for my area is 76. It was too hot to even sit on my balcony and read tonight.

So update, it feels hotter outside right now @ 11:30 than it did yesterday.

And I loved the wonderful thunderstorm we had at 4 AM this morning, it shook my house. We did get a steady rain for 3 hours which was nice. When we got up for work this morning from the rain and it being 76 overnight, all the windows were steamed up from the outside....it was so strange I never saw anything like it.

I don't know if we had a thunderstorm--if so, I slept through it :P We did get rain, though--which we needed.

I went out at around 9:30, and it was oppressive. I heard it's supposed to break tomorrow--hope so. I can't imagine how people who have to work outside in this manage.

Today it is to reach 100 degrees and with the high humidity it will feel like 115 degrees. And I can't get the old, old cats in the house. This is very dangerous weather.

Three more days of this then we get a break to the high 80's.

I did hear a break was coming for the weekend. Nice beach weather though. I bet the ocean temp is real warm. It was nice when we were at the shore a few weeks ago.

How about feels like 100* at 10 pm in Downtown Memphis !!!!

It's so hot here......how hot is it?......it's so hot that the chickens are laying fried eggs!

Sorry.......the heat is frying my brain! Our 7 day forecast is for 7 more days of 100* days!

ohh the ocean temp sounds very nice!!! Sand sounds hot though, so that wouldn't be fun. Boardwalk would be nice but too hot to enjoy.

Be safe with the coming hurricanes!

Today in North Carolina the thermometer indicates 100 degrees (in the shade) and the relative heat is 112 degrees.

Last night we had our first thunderstorm (or rain of any kind) in a months time. It's awful!

How about you?

Here in Southwestern Idaho at 5,000 ft it has cool off from last month when we reach 95 or better for a few days.; but no rain for about 2 months and it is dry. Temperature today is about 85 degrees outside but higher inside the motor home. it cools off at night so we need the electric blanket.

Thanks!! I loved Johnny Carson! Off topic, but Craig Ferguson is hysterically funny.....in case you get a case of the up -late-at-nighters!

We had 9 days of >100* and ended the streak today, thank goodness! 5 of those days were new record highs, and 4 tied old ones! Tomorrow a balmy 96*..........

Did you get back to the 80's??

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on. But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
