I must agree- I know you feel horrid but there are some things that must be ruled out. Please go, we are all so worried about you!

Yes. One of them is MENINGITIS. I am TRYING to scare you. You absolutely must be seen by someone to rule that out as soon as humanly possible. Have you got any kind of little red-dot rash on you? Have somebody check you all over.

So, how ya doin, what's going on.... We're worried!

Well, I still have the headache and swollen glands. I am pretty fatigued (not nearly as much) and also have the muscle achyness all over, but I am doing much better.

I went out for Halloween, just to see my niece and nephew before they went trick or treating. Yesterday I rested all day because I knew today I was going to try to give shopping a try for the first time in at least a month. I will take it real slow and go easy on myself. I also promise to quit when I get too tired.

Wish me luck, my mom and sister are on their way to pick me up! :lol:

Take it slow, and don't over-do! (motherly voice :D )

I'm glad to see you're improving a bit ;)

Well, we decided the outlet mall would be too much so we just went to a few stores around here. We did two stores, then a leisurely lunch and two stores more before I was beat. My sister wanted to go to the mall, but I couldn't. We dropped her and my daughter off and picked them back up later. We met them at Pier 1 and I didn't even have enough strength to browse my favorite, the clearance sale. Luckily, it was only two minutes from home where my mom fixed me an iced tea, gave me my pro-biotics, some ibuprofen and a blanket before taking off. We had a great day and I was exhausted. Later that night, I got up to get some water and my feet were hating me! Oh! I may have pushed it a bit much, but I am fine today. Still fatigued, but I'll live.

Thanks to everyone for the concern!

Sounds like maybe you're finally "turning the corner". :D

Yeah, that's about how I feel. I am still not myself, achy muscles, headache, some ear pain left and only about half the amount or less of that nasty fatigue.

I am actually going to drive myself to Wal-Mart now (first time driving in over a month) because the hubby has a sore throat and we're out of honey. Plus, I want some of that $1.66 Rice Chex everybody's been talking about. I'm stocking up for making holiday rice crispy treats, processing some up for 'breadcrumbs' and saving the rest just for cereal!

Glad to hear your finally feeling a bit better. Just don't overdo, you don't want to backslide.

If you get a chance, my local health food store has tinctures and oils, one of which is mullein oil in olive oil, it's an infusion. Ask at the counter if they have it. It works very well to clear ears of clogs and infection, just work a little drop in there twice a day. Absolutely saved my life a couple years ago, I was ready to drill my ears out I'd gone so deaf & painful from a cold.

      Thanks for the reply.

      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.

      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.

      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.

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