An Introduction!

Hi there everyone!!

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, so I decided to just make my introductions here! :)

I'm Lindsay, I'm 18, and I live in Utah. Right now I'm just in the beginnings of starting a photography business. And I start college courses in January at a local University so I can live at home for awhile.

I haven't been diagnosed with ANYTHING yet... and, well, I'm kind of sick of being sick. Honestly. But, I'll leave that out of my intro hehe

I don't plan on majoring in anything right off the bat, but I'll be taking classes in a bunch of different subjects that interest me and kind of see where that all lands. I'd like to possibly go into clinical psychology, forensic anthropology, and of course photography. So we'll see!! :)

I love animals, and always have... if I wasn't so terrible with Biology, I'd certainly be a vet. I think they're the only consistent presence in my life and I am so grateful for that. I have two dogs of my own, Sophie- a 18 month old Great Dane, and Oliver-a two year old Chiweenie (Chihuahua-Dachshund mix) as well as two cats Kitty and Greycee and five birds of varying species. My parents have three dogs and three cats as well, so we've got a FULL house!! haha If it weren't for them, I'm not sure I'd have the strength to keep on keepin' on. Life has been very difficult for me and they have been my saving graces.

I'm excited to possibly be on the right track with what's been going on with me, because it's been years of feeling terrible and I am so over it. It got so bad that I had to leave public high school in the middle of my sophomore year and was homeschooled for the rest. I just began testing for Celiacs, and hopefully the initial blood test results will be in very soon, I also have a food allergy test tomorrow (which I am NOT looking forward to. haha) I'm a member of a couple other amazing forums, and I love the relationships that develop talking to people that have something in common with you. I hope I get some of the same here!!!

      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.

      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.):
