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.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue. 
    • Scott Adams
      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
