Grrrrr Its Been A Rough Day Already!

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

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! 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...

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one.

      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."
