    I have to agree with Jersey Angel. I can't hover/squat over something that I have to hitch a thigh over just to reach it. I understand that people in wheelchairs need the higher seat, but my short legs need something halfway between that and a child's potty! For public johns, those disinfectant wipes work fantastic! I do love the picture, though...

    Chocolate does that to me. Maybe you have other intolerances that are doing it to you. I highly recommend a complete food diary.

    If you are taking any statin drugs, it could be side effects from it. It could also be vitamin/mineral deficiencies. Have you had your levels checked recently?

    Ooh, Chelsea! I'm so glad you are doing online! Have you checked out any of the message boards? I am hescominsoon, and can usually be found on the Inspiration Soup board.

    Thank you for the link. I had heard about it, but was unable to find anything on it.

    If she hollers when you bring your own food, ask her if she is willing to pay your medical bills after you eat her food. That shut my sil up in a heart beat.

    Many times, positive bloodwork only comes around after serious damage is done to the intestines. By paying attention to other symptoms and going gluten-free now, you could very well be preventing very serious illness in the future. An ounce of prevention....

    Some people have tried telling me that it's all in my head, but I know that it is also in my body. I am not allergic to chocolate, but it sure does make me sick if I eat it.

    Ow!! Love your hair!

    I do the stretches for my neck and back shoulder. I tip my head to the left with my left hand on the top of my head, and reach my right hand down to the floor. I hold it for 20 seconds, then switch to the other side. Another stretch I do is to lie on my back on my bed, tuck my chin to my chest, and press the back of my head into the bed for 20 seconds...

    I had that feeling before. It was caused by immobile vertebrae in my neck. The rest of my cervical spine was trying to compensate, and it was causing pain in my right arm. Stretches worked wonders for it! As for the heaviness in your legs, I had that when I was taking Lipitor. It seems statin drugs cause a problem with the nerves. I quit the Lipitor...

    ARCHIVED Celiac Sprue & Doctor Too!

    plantime replied to RKB-MD's topic in Doctors

    Welcome to the board! Everyone else seems to have said what I wanted to say, so I'll just say WELCOME!!

    Cindy keeps saying she wants her child to be tested, that is why I agreed with having her lawyer get with her children's lawyers and ordering the gene test. Why isn't her lawyer already doing this? Why isn't this in the public eye now?
  15. plantime
    Tavi is right about this. Each child involved has a lawyer, separate from the state and Cindy's lawyers. Cindy's lawyer needs to get with the children's lawyers and take them a copy of Cindy's celiac diagnosis. The children's lawyers will then >have< to research it, and order the appropriate tests. Doctors will not be able to say no, the tests will...

    Yes, I do have odd reactions to nuts. If I eat tree nuts, I get very exhausted and tired, to the point that I am unable to get up and do my normal activities. I don't swell up, I don't get hives, and I don't have trouble breathing. I just get very run-down and exhausted.

    I think it will affect you longer because it happened over a period of several days, as opposed to all at once.

    ARCHIVED Another Dr. Frustration

    plantime replied to cmom's topic in Doctors

    Since you spent several weeks with a shoe-thingy on your foot, chances are the muscles have yanked up. Try doing hurdlers stretches, 3-4 times a day, holding each stretch for 15-20 seconds.

    Celiac disease is very often misdiagnosed as other bowel diseases. Try the diet for 6 weeks, see how you feel. That will tell you a lot. You could ask your doctor for an endoscopy with biopsies of the small intestine.

    For some people, having the gall bladder removed means having diarrhea. The liver drains directly into the intestine, which causes a "soup" all of the time instead of only when you eat. It is a normal happening. The headaches and neck pain could very well be related, have you tried stretching exercises and massage for your neck and upper back? I don't...

    ARCHIVED Sit Ups Cause Pain

    plantime replied to M-3 Gal's topic in Sports and Fitness

    It could be that your intestines are inflamed from the gluten, and doing the situps squashes, pinches and aggravates them more. I suggest trying ab exercises that don't involve folding yourself in half and seeing if they hurt the same way.

    I, too, questioned (and still do) her story. It is shocking, and I'm sure it happens. What makes me ask questions is her lack of response when questions are asked, and her evasion. She keeps repeating the same things, over and over. We all gave suggestions and support, but she doesn't seem to want that. It is as though she only wants us to give her a...

    ARCHIVED Arbys!

    plantime replied to BRCoats's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I only want the Arby's sauce. Just the sauce! I'll get my own roast beef somewhere else, thank you, just GIVE ME THE SAUCE!!

    It could be inner ear, or it could be neurological. I have bad respiratory allergies, so my ears do weird things to me all the time. Especially when the barometer decides to jump up and down!

    Ditto. I'm not looking for a personal trainer. If I have to go into that much detail and spend that much time doing it, then forget it. I have a life outside of running, walking, and biking. I'm not a professional athlete, just a middle-sged woman trying to shed a few pounds. Please do not belittle what I do.
