This is my first time here in this chat room. I recently joined this board. Thought I would stop in and say hello and I am hoping to get to know you guys.

I am from Massachusetts but moved to Myrtle Beach in 2002. It's been quite an experience.

My birthday is next week and I am going on 53 years old. Wow...time flies.

Is anyone here from Mass. or SC?

I'm from SC. Two of my siblings are in Massachusetts. We're all from SC, but they've been up there now for 30 years. Talk about time flying...

Hi Lynnie, Nice to meet you! We're just about the same age and recently I've also been wondering where the time has gone.

Glad to have you aboard :D

Hi Lynnie

I'm no where near SC, and no where near as old as Patti (well, OK, I'm actually pretty near as old, but Patti's so wise I'm sure she gets bonus points for that).

But

welcome anyway :P

Pop in on the "Silly" thread sometime.

I'm no where near SC, and no where near as old as Patti (well, OK, I'm actually pretty near as old, but Patti's so wise I'm sure she gets bonus points for that).

Nice to mee you all! Fluffy...what part of Massachusetts do your siblings live? Wondering if they are anywhere near where I used to live.

And where do you live in SC?

Yes, I will go and check out that Silly thread. Have no idea what it is yet...haven't seen it. But it involves laughter, I'm in.

They're both in greater Boston, sister in Brookline, brother in Somerville. I'm in Columbia.

Oh wow...I grew up in Everett. Just a few miles away from Somerville. I know that area and the greater Boston area very well.

I miss it there soooo very much. But, I only miss the summers. I feel like you just can't beat the summers in New England no matter where you go. But the winters...hm...that is a while different story. Which is why I moved to begin with. The winters are so brutal. Shoveling snow, and scraping ice is just not something that this body of mine can deal with anymore.

My dream is to have a summer home in Massachusetts someday. That would be wonderful. I don't know if that dream will ever come true, but I will never give up it.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
