well everyone its that time of the year again, time to say goodbye to the summer and get ready for Autumn. I have to admit around here in PA the leaves are turning and falling but the temps do not exactly say October (tomorrow is the 1st). It was mid-70's here today again. I know the nights are getting cooler but the forecast did say 80 by the end of the week again.

Anyway Welcome Fall!!!!!

Yeah, we've had crazy warm weather for this time of year. Last week we had one day when it was 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 degrees Fahrenheit), how crazy is that!

But the leaves are turning here, too, and are beautiful farther north of us.

My family lives in the mountains in rural Northeastern PA, the leaves are so pretty up there right now. Where I am 2 hrs south of them the leaves are starting to turn now, just in the last week or so. The foliage is very pretty. I love summer the best for the warmth but my favorite fun season is fall, its so pretty and there is so much to do with fall festivals and corn mazes and halloween things.

I've been singing the praises of Fall the past two weeks. Love the change in the air and sun. Pulled our fall recipies to try and made apple crisp and pumpkin pancakes.

The leaves are beautiful in PA. I lived there a few years and really missed them all the years we lived in CA.

Happy Fall to you.

I'm in NY State (southeast of Albany) and our leaves are changing quickly now. The eves have been much cooler. I cooked my first pot of chili and made some gluten-free gingerbread last week....so it must be fall, lol! (As soon as I buy a bag of gluten-free candy corn, I'll be 100% into the spirit of it!)

My parents are about 45 mintues from the NY border, we have I-81 sometimes we come to Vestial to shop. My mom always liked Target and Kohls, and up until recently she did not have those stores in Scranton.

lol... our week+ of rain started two days ago, and the snow level dipped to 4000ft. I went for a hike in the snow (falling on us and large drifts on the ground) yesterday! Open Original Shared Link

Tiffany--I always love looking at your pictures. It looks so beautiful out there--I've never been west of Memphis :D

Wow Ursa--96 degrees! :o Hope you're cooling off now....

We also had the beautiful weekend in Jersey. It was georgeous--warm and sunny in the afternnons and nice and cool at night for sleeping. I did see that it's supposed to warm up again, though.

Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing. This is the good stuff in life. Brought back some memories and makes me long to be out in nature again.

I showed John the picture of the snow in the mountains and he is so jealous! He loves snow. He is already talking about blizzards and snow drifts...things we don't see in PA (well our area of PA) that much anymore. John just is a winter lover!

I'd like to point out that Tiffany had to CLIMB A MOUNTAIN to get to snow. For those of us in the lowlands, it's puddles up to our shins from all the rain.

I tried to explain that to John but he wanted no part of it...He was in tranced by the snow scene. Well in jan when it is down near zero and there is mountains of snow out there he can enjoy cleaning off the cars. :)

It's fall? Really? I hadn't noticed... We moved from Maryland to Texas last summer and I really miss the leaves changing colors :(

Here... well, we're only getting into the low/mid 90's during the day, and the nights are downright cool... 73 last night!

And, we only had to mow the lawn once last week!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. 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:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
