So I Am Quite Proud Of Myself...

Anyway, lately I have been unable to sleep past 6 am... (When I used to sleep in till like 10 am...) So today, I actually got up and made my husband a nice breakfast. It consisted of cheesy scrambled eggs, homemade tortillas from dinner a couple nights ago, huckleberry jam, salsa, Lemonade... (Don't ask why he wanted lemonade for breakfast.) Oh and Peppermint tea, as he has a cold. (No I didn't have any of this... But still). In the past year and almost nine months we've been married, I have never once made him breakfast... I was such a good wife this morning

Then I promptly proceeded to start making dinner (I love crockpots... they make it so much easier to cook dinner while at work.) which will be chicken curry. Yay!

I love that I actually have energy to do stuff now that I am gluten free. And I love that I dont spend forever in bed. I am so much better at living life now....

Hooray, fellow wifey! I've been so happy lately because I now have the energy to make my hubby his lunch to take to work every day. I used to feel so bad that I was so caught up in my own health that I wasn't able to take care of him properly (I enjoy this type of thing). :rolleyes:

You go girl! I was actually really excited when I could do the dishes and laundry again. And I always hated doing dishes. I guess getting sick gives us a whole new perspective. :)

LFA (for lack of wanting to type it all out)~ Yeah. I am of the sort who enjoys doing the stereotypical housewife life. Making my hubby breakfast, doing dishes, all that jazz, is almost relaxing. Well not almost, it is. Like I got mad at my husband for some little thing this morning... Went and did dishes, and was fine. But I am so impressed with my newfound energy to do all this... Before, I would dread cooking, dread dishes, dread laundry... All that... but now its kind of fun.

GFM~Getting sick DOES give us a whole new perspective. (Injuries too, like when I broke my shoulder blade, I missed weeding the yard. And I hated doin that.) Like I used to hate dusting, cleaning etc. But now it feels good to do that... Besides a clean house always makes me feel better

Congrats! It's a good feeling fussing over somebody you care about, and having the energy is awesome.

Have a good evening, girl!

Hurray! Glad to hear you are feeling so much better. It's like getting a second chance at life isn't it? :)

I so needed to read this. I have been getting more than a little down in the dumps about still being tired, short of breath, etc. It's nice to know it will continue to get better and to have a place to come where that knowledge is reinforced.

I am very happy that you are all feeling better and enjoying the simple things in life. I am looking forward to joining you. :)

some day I was the dust balls roll across the floors and other days I go after them. I think I'm getting better. At least I want to chase them now instead of just watch them!

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      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...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      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...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

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..."

      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.

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
