Roommate Rant #2, Enough Is Enough..!

Hey guys. I'm sure you remember my post about my roommate making me sick and causing me panic/asthma attacks by leaving crumbs everyone or trying to get me to touch garbage bags, etc that had some form of gluten on/near them??? Well I gave her heck about that, but nowwww I've had enough. I'm officially searching for someone else. <_<

She always checks the mail before me because she leaves sooner than I do. Well I didn't even know that a TV/internet bill came in. Know where she hid it?? under my microwave...didn't tell me it came or nothing. So today our internet/TV was cut off from not being paid and she had a hissy fit that it's all my fault and it's under my name so it's my job to open it/read it. Yeah sure because when it's hidden that's really possible, right? :rolleyes: . ALSO it was her idea "Oh we'll just pay one month at a time, not the 2 like they want"...her fault there too.

My mom is angrier than me. You've probably already learned how she is from my rants about the family. She's not afraid to tell you anything and usually means it too. Well mom said to me, and was being VERY serious about it "Come spring time, if you don't tell her to get out I will!!!". And I know she would too.

SOOO for now, I'm going to call the stupid tv/internet company and say figure out my share for whatever I owe (i think it'll be up til january?) and i'll charge it to credit card...AND apparently our damage deposit isn't paid yet so what I'm going to do is pay it all myself, then I can rightfully claim the apartment to myself and it should be less hassle to give her the boot.

if you have any suggestions PLEASE help me out here!!

Are both of your names on the lease, or is it your place and she's renting room? Do you have the option of living alone? Most people with roommates have these types of issues, unfortunately....

I'm sorry this is so much trouble for you. My bit of advice would be NOT to have your name on the lease/phone/cable whatever. That way you aren't responsible for irresponsible roommates.

OK so she just started freaking out on me that I don't do my s*** and it has to stop. She then threatened me...and said she's going to call my mom. HA i wonder if she did, my mom would have snapped...then she says if things don't improve NOW shes out of here. WOW would that be a blessing...So enough is enough. I'm definitely phoning landlord this weekend and saying: either she goes or i do.

PS: the lease in this place is month-by-month..

I'm sorry you have to deal with all this. Seriously - hiding a bill so she can blame you??? That's messed up. And the month-to-month lease is fantastic for you. I'd consider moving out at the end of November if I were you :) I've had really bad roommates in the past before and they added so much additional stress to my life and made it so that home wasn't at all a relaxing place. I now live alone and will never go back. Good luck.

O-M-G i can't take this...

My mom just phoned me yelling at me. My roommate did call her and instead of mom sticking up for me, she believed what my roommate said that I do nothing, never empty trash or take or garbage, anything. Now mom is blaming ME that things are bad and says I'm not allowed to move out???

Is ANYBODY on my side??? :( *CRIES*

Do you need your mom's permission to move out? If you're on a month to month lease, you can easily leave whenever you want, so.....I'd recommend getting out of there :) Not to sound cheesy....but you need to be on your own side...empower yourself to take action and find a better situation for yourself.

Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry that this is so hard for you. Someday soon you'll be done with school and done with needing support from your parents. Hang on till then and remember that everyone here is on your side.

Oh, I didn't know that part. I'd still work on getting out of there though. I've had my share of roommate drama and it's never worth it. Everything gets really blown out of proportion when you're in the middle of a situation like that. It's best to move out or just find a way to distance yourself from the drama.

So last night she gave me this huge apology, saying her mom made her mad and she took it out on me and she won't do it again blah blah. I don't completely buy it though. If it was just taking anger out of me she wouldn't go calling my mom and yelling at her. I trust her just as little...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
