  1. Dear loco_ladi, I forgot about that! They use that mixture for bee stings as well. I may have DH. I am not sure. All I know is, these bumps are really problematic. The hives I get out of nowhere can drive me crazy. This might help! Thank you! Sincerely, ...
  2. Dear ravenwoodglass, I am sorry to hear you got glutened! I hope you feel better soon. I get glutened periodically due to being stuck living with my parents, who are not gluten-free and refuse to be. I also think I have DH. My face, back, scalp, and neck are covered with what looks like adult acne, but it burns and itches. It is in patches...
  3. Dear Patti, I agree that gifts from heaven are being sent to Donna! It is wonderful! If the church can help, why not? Everyone knows something or someone for a reason. She should take them up on their offer! God sends good things our way. Dear Donna, Your friend sounds like a wonderful person! I would just explain the...
  4. Dear Kristina, I am glad your friend is going with you. That might help. Doctors are so stupid! We practically have to do all the work for them it seems! I can understand your concern about being dismissed if you cry. I went to a GI doctor once that pretty much just told me I was just "overly sensitive to bodily sensations." You know what...
  5. Dear melmak5, You are so welcome! Trust me, the misery is something so many of us have gone through. You wonder if you will ever get well, and even wonder why God hates you at times. At least, that is how it feels. My family always was convinced it was in my head, too. That made it even more difficult to deal with. HUGS! I...
  6. Dear Susie, I really think you could have a shortage of the serotonin. I might do some research and see if there are links between it and zinc defeciencies. I may find something. The potatoes certainly have a good effect on you. I read that Atkins dieters often were prone to depression, and it is likely due to the lack of carbohydrate. Most...
  7. Dear Patti, I am sure you have memory buttons! Everyone does according to that article I read. That is how I learned about the tapping technique. You have to tap the top of your head near your scalp. On the top of the crown works as well. However, if you are going through menopause, that can mess your memory up. My mother has...
  8. Dear melmak5, Your experience at Beth Israel sounds as bad as my experience at IU Med! I was never so terrified in my life. After four days of pure hell, they tell me they think I am just nuts. You know what they did to me? I had trouble drinking the prep solution for the colonoscopy, so they threatened to take the solution and pour it...
  9. Dear Judy, Thank you so much! It must have been terrible being alone on your 50th! You know, I met the Pope, sort of. After Pope John Paul II died, I had a dream. The thing is, it was not just a dream. I know I was up in heaven with the light. There was no floor, just radiant white light, and Pope John Paul II was standing there with his...
  10. Dear Deb, I am so glad you liked my cake! It could be a World Trade Center cake! We will rise again! You sure are wise beyond your years for 25! What a coincidence that we both are turning 25 in the same year! Dear Patti, Thank you for the compliments! You are sweet, too! Isn't it wonderful we can share birthdays together...
  11. Dear Patti, ROTFLMAO! This will make you laugh. Much of the time, after I read the thread, I go upstairs and write down all I remember after tapping my memory buttons on my head. Normally, after I write it all down, I head it "Today In Rachelville!" It is almost like our own newspaper! Who knows? That could be next! I hope we all get...
  12. Dear longislandlady, You sound a lot like me! I was on 2 to 4 course of antibiotics per year from birth until now (I am 24). During my teens, I was on steroids for asthma. I also began the Depo-Provera shot due to heavy, painful periods. I could go through a super-plus tampon in an hour. Anemia resulted. I had five...
  13. Dear melmak5, You are not crazy! HUGS! You are sick! I know how you feel. I worried I was going insane for a while, too. Then, I realized I was just plain ill. Hives are caused by many things, as Tarnalberry mentioned. I have skin reactions to dog hair, molds, pollens, dust, dust mites, strawberries, and grasses...
  14. Dear Deb, How sucky is that?! Everyone being so far away on your special day is so lousy. I am going to make you an e-cake! Gluten-free of course! Plus, it cannot make you fat or hurt your stomach! 0 11 ...
  15. Dear Sherry, I am amazing? How come? I try to keep up with everything. It is not always easy! A lot is going on here all the time! We rarely have a slow day in Rachelville! Those chocolate cookies sound wonderful! I would not mind having some. Cookies are my favorite treat. They always have been. I suppose it is due to...
  16. Dear Deb, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Sorry it is belated! I just saw the thread! How are you doing? I know you were having a rough time of it the last I wrote you. Did you do anything special yesterday? Sincerely, Jin
  17. Dear Kassandra, I am so sorry to hear you are sick! The flu is miserable. I always had to suffer through it and colds, because I cannot stand the horrid taste of the medicines! I always take Sambucol for a cold. It does have corn syrup in it. However, instead of getting that horrible cough that never went away and getting broncchitis...
  18. Dear Patti, It is important, as you said, to focus on the now. If we spend too much time dwelling on the past, we miss the present. There are times the past haunts us, and we cannot shake the dispair. However, without those moments, how would we know the bright ones? In order to experience pure joy, one must first suffer genuine pain. ...
  19. Dear Sherry, Rachel did say the gelatin capsule irritated her system. That may be the trouble for melmak5. Mine are not in gelatin capsules. They do not contain anything that could hurt me. I definitely feel worse when I do not take mine. The detox baths may have caused bad symptoms due to removing toxins. If you draw out too...
  20. Dear Darn210, Thank you for wishing us all well! We appreciate it! It is difficult at times to deal with chronic illness. Hopefully, I will be dealing with chronic wellness soon. That would be nice! On this thread, we do try not to take ourselves too seriously all of the time. It is not good to do that. Laughter is good medicine...
  21. Dear Angie, Your friend must have an angel watching over him! I know a doctor I used to have had a daughter who fell 30 feet. She was like your friend, where she had a long way to recovery, but amazingly survived the horrible fall. Garden of the Gods has had many people die from falling there. Our doctor's daughter's back was in bad shape...
  22. Dear melmak5, OMG! I am so sorry to hear how ill you were last night! HUGS! I am going with the gallbladder and additional food intolerances. The rotation diet in conjuction with a food journal is a good option. At least that could reduce some of the misery possibly. When I had my gallbladder in, even baby food made me sick. Between...
  23. Dear tom, Oregano oil and many other essential oils derived from spices can be caustic to the skin. Cinnamon and clove oil are two others that tend to burn upon contact with skin. It is not recommended to apply them directly. Witches use essential oils quite often for annointing candles for the purpose of a spell. Cinnamon is used for money...
  24. Dear Angie, That is great to hear! I had a feeling you did the right thing! Flowers are not exactly a guy thing. At least, not most of the time. When a guy needs a gift, they can be difficult to buy for. If you are another man, you have a better idea of what the other guy wants. As Josh said, men do not worry as much as women...
  25. Dear melmak5, I hope you do not have a parasite! Those things are never good to have, but they sure can cause serious trouble! We will hope for the best! Meanwhile, I can understand the cautious optimism. The fear of being disappointed is all too common among those of us on the forum. Please post the results when the test returns! ...
