Ahhh i swear my right hand is good for nothing!! Today is my 3rd time hurting it badly somehow. Here's what happened this time : trying to walk between a computer and the board (with not much space) at school, and I rammed my right hand straight into the corner of the whiteboard -- right on my vein!! Its been swollen/numb/sore all day. You may think i'm weird but i took a pic of my hand, you can clearly see just where impact was. It's normally NOT red (i am a pale person). And i think my hand looks disgusting as it is because its so tiny lol... I've tried wrapping it in ice cold tensor wrap but if you have more suggestions pleaseee share!

Do they have a clinic or a nurses office at your school? Showing your hand to them would be the way to go. If you have a sprain or have broken a bone we can't really do anything for you. I hope it was just a bruise and is feeling better today.

Thanks guys, its still hurting today. I accidently slept through my first class, oops...So i'll just go to the 2nd one. Its still all kinda nunb in pain and it doesnt look much different than it did last last. The thing that's going to KILL me is we have a winter storm warning right now ..so not only will my arthritis be affected by the snow, it will by the temperature drop of about 15 degrees C with the wind!. I'm seriously tempted to just wrap it up DURING my next class and handwrite.

EDIT: Make that completely useless!! I couldnt even lift a half-empty kettle without it sending jabs down my whole hand. Can something GOOD happen to me already instead?? :( *wraps it now*

Yeah there is a mini doc office on campus. If it doesnt improve any by the weekend then i'll go there maybe. You usually need an appointment but i'll tell them it was accident so its not like I knew it was coming. If i deicide to be stubborn i'll just wait until I go back to the doc about my gallbladder a week from now :lol:

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
