Do I Exist?

I feel slightly invisible in this forum; whenever I go and view a post, then look to see how many "views" there have been of that post, it never increments. In other words, the fact that I looked at it apparently doesn't count. Is that because I'm new, or is it something else?

I believe views are updated periodically, not in real-time.

The weekends around here are always slow. Sometimes it takes some time for someone to address your post.

Thanks for the explanation. You're right; I went back and looked at one of the posts I had viewed, and sure enough, now it's showing 20 views instead of 0.

Thanks Momma Goose.

That's not what I was concerned about. Althought I would LOVE for someone to answer my questions (in my other post in the Pre-Diagnosis and Testing section), I wasn't asking about why no one had done so thus far. I just wondered about the counters for "views" of the posts, and why I was able to view several different posts without apparently having any effect on their view counters.

As to someone replying to my other post, I do hope that will happen, but I realize that the right person has to look at it first. I assume that if no one has answered, maybe it's just that those who have viewed it really don't know the answers.

Rissa,

I saw your original post, but did not reply because I don't know anything about interaction between celiac disease and steroids in general, much less your specific question about prednisone.

Weekends are quiet here. Maybe most members visit the board while at work. :ph34r: We own our business, so company time and personal time are the same thing for us. :lol:

I'm sure someone who knows will reply.

As noted, the "views" statistic is updated periodically and, as a result, is often presented as less than the actual count.

Welcome to the board.

Thanks for the reply!

That must be nice! Unfortunately my personal time for surfing the web is the weekend...my employers would frown on doing it during working hours! :lol:

Although lunchtime is always a possibility.....

      @Jmartes71, Been here.  It's okay.  You're not imagining things, but there's no bugs or parasites in your skin.  The cats are not infecting you with anything.  That's a hyperkeratotic plug that builds up in a hair follicle which does go deep and is attached by the hair sheath that looks stringy.  It's a type of thing seen commonly in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.   Niacin B 3, in the form Nicotinic Acid (active form that causes flushing) or in the form Niacinamide will help immensely with clearing this up.  Take 100 mg three times a day, and Tryptophan (another form of Niacin) to help you sleep and heal your intestines at night.   Kidney stones can result when the body doesn't have sufficient Thiamine B 1.   Are you taking a B Complex supplement?  The eight B vitamins are water soluble.  Many people with Celiac Disease benefit by taking a B Complex to boost absorption.   The cloves are great because they can reduce inflammation, but your body needs the Bs and extra Niacinamide as well.  Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine B 1, is also needed in higher doses to heal the intestines.  If you get your intestines calmed down, your skin will calm down, too.  Benfotiamine has anticancer potential in higher doses. Rapid resolution of delusional parasitosis in pellagra with niacin augmentation therapy https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19061687/ Tryptophan metabolism: From physiological functions to key roles and therapeutic targets in cancer (Review) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12139378/ Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for the update, Ben. If you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the blood testing - and this would be the normal protocol - you will still need to continue the gluten challenge until that is done.

      Update on how things went. To meet my daily quantity of gluten I had a measured amount of gluten flour with my breakfast and 2 slices of bread later in the day. I still had discomfort but it wasn't debilitating. My blood tests results came back this week and they were positive so I've been referred to a specialist.

      Hello, Ive been to the dermatologist ( two different ones) and now made appointment, soonest is NOVEMBER. Ive been dealing  with skin issues for a while and its getting  worse because nothing has worked.I feel the bumps, gently squeeze and a itty bitty hard thing is coming out.I took a picture and did close up and in the MANY pictures ive taken this past few days, there's a " string" type thing at the end. I FEEL IT COMING OUT.... At first few pic it looks like hair, its not.Its  part of what ever is in my skin...I did call my Dr yesterday and will be seeing him this Monday. What test should I request to see what the hell is causing my skin to have?I don't know what to call it.I do sleep with my indoor cats.I also have an inheritance cat two years ago who took to sleeping with me as well.I also was on topiramate but had to stop because of speech issues, memory and it can affect those with  kidney stones. I did suffer kidney stones in past.So i had to completely stop.Since freaking out of what i KNOW what I saw, i took matters in my own hands and decided to eat several whole cloves a day.Since doing so, though im not to eat garlic.My skin is actually clearing up sloooooooooowly.but then again I just started 4 days ago and already notice a difference. My husband thinks im seeing things.I know what I see and feel. what test is there to ask doctor about what is in my skin? Husband thinks im seeing things, because of the meningioma and stopping meds.i know what i saw.

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.
