An End To My Craziness

Not sure that anyone wants to hear this but I just can't help myself..

Tonight I have shaved my legs and under-arms for the first time in six months. I'm kinda excited. Probably a girl thing:) All the hell of head to ankle bumps and INSANE itching I can now see will have an end.

I'm not sure what my mental health would have been like without this forum so to *everyone* I thank you. It has been a godsend.

I still have some time to go yet but without everyones support and having a place to post some crazy nutcase posts I'm not sure where I'd be today.

Hooray for you! That's wonderful news to hear. Doubly wonderful since I'm walking the same road behind you. It gives me hope. After a night spent tossing & turning trying not to scratch it is refreshing to get up this morning & see your post.

Yes, the support found here makes a huge difference in keeping one's sanity.

Great news. I really sympathize with anyone who suffers from DH. The itching must be maddening. Horray for smooth legs!! :D

Well, you go, girl! Hooray for you!

Anything we do to regain some semblance of "normalcy" after being ill, in pain, itchy, broken out or having blistery skin that peeled off (yup, my scalp peeled for a year before DX :huh: & I lost a lot of hair) is a step in the right direction.

My good friend with DH suffers so much, that poor babe. I had horrible itching, SEVERE burning & red skin (clothing was painful at one point), red bumps and some oozey red scalp sores that not were not technically DH (I do not think anyway).

But it was nothing like the pain you guys with DH have, I am sure. I feel for you. :(

Hope you continue to improve. :)

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
