Today is my day to rant!

Well, this all started yesterday, I found out AFTER I got to work I would have today and tom off..... gee nothing like letting someone know ahead of time right.... So no I did not have anyplace planned for eating, my turkey is frozen still so not eating anything special at home either!

I volunteered (since I would be home and working) to take care of my friends horses (all 14 of them) while she was at her family's enjoying turkey and pie... wouldn't ya know it the 80 degree temps left just as she did, its now a whopping 15 degrees with snow to boot!

I get dressed... warmly.... and go to start my truck.... noticed I have a REALLY flat tire... no problem just use the other one will deal with the tire when I get back...

Finally I headed to her house to find 3 of the horses were out, seems part of their fencing broke since I had left last night... Just so you know horses who dont know you are afraid and tend to go in the OPPOSITE direction you want them to, its a fact of nature! After an hour of coaxing I finally got them in and fixed the fence..... well before this time I am freezing... I go find something to chop the inch of ice out of their water so they can drink.... go to the little pony's pen and WHAM! Whack my thumb! Finally I get all the ice broken but cant fill their water cause the pipes are froze... Well, will have to deal with that later...

Get the horses fed and ice broken from their water and head home... Now to deal with the tire.... I air up the compressor, drag it over to the truck... air up the tire...... well this isn't good I can hear the air leaking out, well will head to town and get it fixed..... WRONG after I get to town I see the sign.... "we will be closed thursday".... gee guess why! well crud! quick check of tire reveals I dont have much time....

head to a friends house nearby and air up the tire and head back home..... this is when I take off the glove and find I didnt just whack my thumb a good one I have bled quite a bit and its allllllllll thru my glove and over my hand..... So, lets see how bad it is........ wash it off, which unthaws my hand which gets the blood flowing again...... ok, need a bandaid...... um.... not in the cupboard where they are supossed to be.... quick check and I find them 30 minutes later in the kitchen under the sink.... houseguests last week remember....... ACK!

still bleeding so......... off to the emergency room for 5 stiches..... head to the pharmacy to get the pain meds filled, gee not open big surprise... back home and here I am ready for more, what else will this ole world throw at me today ? talk to hubby........

his truck is running badly may have to go get him after work, plus he isnt feeling well......

OK NEXT! I can handle anything today just watch me! Besides its only 11am!

OK rant over......

Good grief, woman! When you have a bad day, you don't fool around!

Hope the rest of the day was better and today goes smoother for you.

Well, I did my best and the rest of the day wasn't as bad......

Todays not to bad either got my tire fixed, no blood when tending to the horses, and "munchie" actually let me pet him, according to my friend thats something hard to accomplish.... personally I think it was the bribe of the molasses oats, lol.

All horses inside fencing like intended, no more broken fences, no more blood, no more flat tires..... keepingin mind its only 1pm here, I am feeling pretty good.

Also not being able to have the pain meds yesterday I used what I had on hand in the cupboard, decided not to use the pain ones prescribed as its not "to bad" today

      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.

      Nateral remedies

      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:
