I don't feel good

I can't keep my eyes open

I can't take my pain pills because I don't need that much anymore

I got Meijer's brand Advil.

I took two.

I got a reaction.

I wrote to them.

They wrote me back with a gluten free link that doesn't work

They told me they'll forward this on to someone else

I can't brush my teeth good and my mouth is disgusting yucky

He doesn't want me using mouthwash yet, just salt water

I feel filthy from head to toe

I didn't wash my hair cuz I didn't feel like it

I want some real food but can't have that yet

I got some broc cheese soup for lunch and it was good but I need a gallon of it

ok i'm done ranting now.

Poor baby! Most of the Advil/tylenol type stuff is gluten-free that I have found. Go take a shower & wash your head! (Say that in your Grandmothers voice!) It will improve your mood.

Can you eat little tiny bits that you don't need to chew yet? Hamburger chopped up really dinky in a little beef broth would probably hit the spot. Maybe a bakes potato with lots of butter or mixed with the mixer and milk & butter until creamy? An over ripe fresh peach mushed up? Making meself hungy. :P

The advice to take a nice warm shower is a good one. If you have any lavender scented soap, or any other favorite scent, it might make you feel better.

Do you have any cream of buckwheat on hand? That's a favorite comfort food of mine. Perhaps some scrambled eggs or some rice noodles broken up in small swallow whole bits and some nice chicken broth might be doable.

I hope your feeling better soon.

Connie dear.....I had only one molar pulled in January and thought that a pain in the butt as far as all the things you ranted about so I cannot imagine what pulling 6 teeth must be like. It was 6, wasn't it? :o My implant will be started in October so there's more fun coming for me down the road.

Take a shower and wash your hair so you'll feel cleaner and calmer. Even if you don't need the pain meds, maybe take one anyway for the hell of it as you shouldn't drink alcohol right now. ;) That always works for me! Eat your favorite mushy foods so you won't be hungry, which always makes people grumpy. Not much else that can be done...it's one of those pain in the arse times when you just have to get through it and try not to lose your mind. I am thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way. Dental work is just no fun as it impacts what you can eat and that's huge. Feel free to rant away!

And tell me WHY I'm craving 3 Musketeers and Milky Ways and PB cups????

I have NEVER been a candy eater.

The good news is, I get off work in 16 minutes.

Oh, Connie - this too shall pass. I hope you can go home, maybe have a nice bath, and surround yourself with good things. Maybe watch something that makes you laugh?

You went to work like that? :P Supposedly, if we crave candy, we are actually craving fruit. OK, maybe...

Conniebky, I know EXACTLY how you feel! And, I appreciate the format in which you shared your frustration. To the point! No beating around the bush! Not writing, rewriting, editing and reediting til 3 hours pass and that frustrating energy is still swarming around because it hasn't been "released." Can you use Tom's toothpaste?

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
