Paula,

I just saw this. How tragic it is for you and your husband to have to go through not only the death of his brother, but all the pettiness that has come out in regards to the funeral.....

Sending you as many strength vibes as I can muster up! Hugs to you and your hubby....

Take care,

Karen

Im sorry your struggling with his family, we are still dealing with my grandma's stuff and its been almost a year. I do know they bury people in the winter as my grandma was buried in December. Is there a way you can get a payment plan since others arent willing to help? I know our local funeral home gives payment plans for families.

Thanks everyone, we made the arrangements to have him buried in 3 weeks, we made the arangements for the memorial and burial, we called the bank to get the money. we had everything planned out. Then the sisters got pissy and said no we wont do it til the spring, so we were like ok fine, we will wait til spring. Well now they dont want to bury him. This is what they want cause they dont want to spend money on the burial(which we were paying for in full) and now dont want an memorial in our hometown for others can say there goodbyes. They also told hubby he could pick the date for the memorial cause we are supposed to get a major storm on friday. Well then they called and said it will be thursday and friday. They keep calling now and hubby is just refusing to answer the phone. cause we are done with their lies.

Hi Paula,

I just wanted you to know that I am so sorry for all you are going through. We had a similar situation when my husbands Dad died 3 years ago. The hospice nurse told us it was so common for families to have big problems and become bitter over the death of a family member. It's sad, but so true. My husbands brother and his wife stopped speaking to us when they found out my husband was executor of his Dad's will. My children still ask me why they can't see their cousin. It's very sad.

Anyway, I just wanted to send some extra hugs to you and your husband. I know how difficult and draining this situation can be.

Take care,

Joni

I just wanted to thank you for helping me get threw all of this and for listening to me cry and vent. We will be buryuing him this spring with another memorial and big celebration of his life. this holiday is going to be so hard without him, we are trying to get into the spirit but it is so hard to do. I did do a little memorial here for him, i got wreaths and big bows and put their names on the fence, of all the people we have lost this yr, i put one for my neighbor we lost, my grandma i lost, my bil, mil and my grandparents, it looks very nice and it is bringing us some closer in the whole matter.

But now that im starting to think straight i wanted to thank you all again, i could not have made it without all of u to listen to me.

paula

      Thiamine Mononitrate is "shelf stable" and won't break down easily when exposed to heat, light and over time.  This makes it very hard for the body to absorb and utilize it.  Only thirty percent is absorbed, less is utilized because it takes additional thiamine to break it down.   Thiamine Hydrochloride is great.  Benfotiamine is wonderful, too.   Retaining water, edema, is a symptom of low thiamine.  I'd bloat up like a puffer fish.   The ingrown toenail problems I had that I attribute to Niacin deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency.  My toenails curled in and grew thick and yellow, thickened heels.  It was awful.   So glad you're going to give thiamine hydrochloride a try!   Let me know how it goes.  You may feel worse before you feel better, the thiamine paradox, but it does clear up.  It's like a car back firing if it hasn't been run for a while.   Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks again, I'll keep pressing on.  🤞

      @Known1, Search for "niacin flush fades the longer you use it" and "Niacin flush worse if deficient".   It takes a couple to three weeks for the body to adjust and you're at that point now, so things should improve. Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light.  If not absorbed, excreted.  Absorption of riboflavin will improve as the body starts healing the intestinal lining and villi grow back.   You could skip the multivitamin instead.

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units. In terms of how they compare in the past, the numbers today that I quoted are stricter than they used to be. Blood sugar numbers for +1 and +2 hour postprandial are measured from the beginning of a meal in these official numbers. In regards to the thiamin supplement I have: it says it is thiamine mononitrate. I had not until now been aware there were different types (it seems I find that is the case with everything, including the magnesium I take!) and this one I have is the only one available in my local stores. I know it makes my pee smell strong when I take it which would seem to indicate my body is absorbing enough that the remainder gets ejected, but I could be wrong. Of course, I'm willing to try anything reasonable to correct this long standing condition, whatever it might be so I will try and get thiamin hydrochloride. Back on the note of diabetes (potentially) I haven't had the blood test for a while and I did notice ingrown toenail type infections a few times in the last 3 years that kept coming back. I heard that diabetes caused high urination. But eating sugar and elevated blood sugar causes the opposite in me. If I eat a lot of sugar I retain water, like big time. If I ate a bunch o sugar in the afternoon say, I can produce little enough urine that I can go over 12 hours and have nowhere near enough urine to need to void in that time or longer which seems abnormal.

      @knitty kitty For me, the flushing lasts about 10 hours and not just 60-90 minutes after consuming the vitamins.  I am 10-days into taking this already.  My urine is neon colored around the clock and I drink between 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon of water per day.  I'll stick with 2 a day for now, but am honestly quite hesitant to do so. I am curious, where are you reading "the worse the flush, the more your body needs the niacin"?  I have been searching for that, but haven't found that anywhere.
