    Tom, I can't imagine what losing a sibling must be like. I hope that you feel at peace with good memories of your brother today. *********** Continued improving and good health to you, sir. Right, Donna. From what I've been reading here, Lyme is also likely. She grew up in a wooded area of Connecticut. I don't know if I can convince her that...

    Good Morning. I suppose I'm just spilling more useless data into this thread, but I wanted to come in here and tell you guys about something that occurred to me this weekend. I haven't been following along the last couple days, so I hope I'm not hijacking or anything, but I feel a need to tell you something interesting (and a little heart-breaking for...

    Dear Jin, Sorry you're having a rough day gastrically. You may be right about the albumin thing. I've just never heard of that before, so it was a pretty foreign concept to me. I just don't know. The neural peptide / energy / mind-body connection was something I got kind of fascinated with a few years ago - before I knew I had any body issues....

    I'm not trying to beat a dead horse. Just need to say I'm not talking about emotions. I'm talking about thoughts. Pure energy. Ta

    First of all, Donna, you're right - I'm getting sucked into the vortex (of Rachelville). If I had a little more self control, I might be able to manage to stay away for a while. I'm not really thinking cause here. I'm thinking recent contributor to your difficulties detoxing. I don't think that for any of us there is any 1 cause. Most of us are pretty...

    Liz, don't misunderstand - I'm really happy to be down to 158. When you reach 158, though, and you're soooooo close to being at the goal weight, you begin to realize how difficult it is to bust through that last few pounds. Also, once you've been 190 + like I was a couple years ago (thanks to your friend and mine - you know what I'm talking about), the...

    Weigh In Day Weight: 158, of course Waist: 33 That's all I got today.

    Out on a limb here, but this is why I made the comment to you about whether you were broken or not when you were born. I've heard of this before. I believe the theory was that you experience a trauma or some event or prolonged anxiety and peptides of one sort or another are released. The peptides are accepted at the docking stations of the cells or they...

    I can't believe it - I lost another post. The albumin doesn't stay in the kidneys - it flushes out in the urine. Eggs ? Albumin is the major protein in eggs, but I don't think it has anything to do with why this is happening. I wish it were that simple.

    Not that I know much about your situation, or that my opinion counts for much, but ... No, I don't think you were born broken. I'm thinking that the series of events in your life have taken you to where you are today. I think you're quite together, actually. Yes, I think you may be holding some stuff in - I think most people are. I hold onto...

    Crap ! I lost my post ! So, anywayyyyyyy, What I was saying was ... a nephrologist is a kidney specialist. (I'll have to start pasting this into a document in case I lose it - I can't believe that). Let me paint a quick picture for you: The filtering devices that filter my blood are leaky. They leak blood proteins (called albumin) out of my blood...

    I've wondered recently about my liver, but I'm pretty sure she checked that out in my original work-up. I believe it's fine. No, I don't have cancer or lupus. I think the chemotherapy drugs she wants me to take are all about immunosuppression. The steroid "treatment" was immunosuppression. It's pretty standard protocol with Nephrologists to take this...

    Excuse me everyone, but... HI LISA I wanted you to know that I'm praying for your wellness and that I'm not coming out of the blue with this. I have been where you are in a lot of ways. I don't want to go into a bunch of details, but quickly, I've been through an excruciating 7 month treatment - I'm potentially looking at chemotherapy treatment...

    Hi Jin, It would be nice if people would just take people at their word, but your parents probably do believe it on some level, but just don't want to submit to it. My sister gives me crap about not going out to eat at restaurants (She'll get "her's" - her son is ADHD and bites his nails furiously like I did before I went gluten-free). I've given up on...

    Hi Mango, good to have you here. Hi everyone. I blew it over the last couple days - too much food, too much chocolate & chips & salsa, no workouts. I think I'm probably up a pound in the last week - good start, huh? Anyway, I've decided I need to begin to post my food stuff, so I'll get on that too. Workout goal today: 40 minute walk ...

    I'm hesitant to give advice on this sort of thing, because it's not right for every situation, however, I'm going to tell you what happened to me because it may motivate you to somehow avoid what happened to me. I had a really great job as an administrative assistant & personal assistant to the owner - money was great, I loved the actual job. For some...

    I have had this since a teen. Hands and feet. Your description is exactly what happens to me. First, I don't think I'm "Celiac" and I don't have DH. I believe I'm intolerant to wheat gluten, dairy, & soy (but not off soy & dairy right now). I know that they're not the exactly same, but I there is some type of relationship in there - they...

    I would like to state, for the record, and in my defense, that Jestgar's picture was in fact not a girl, but this bazaar looking cat, and at the same time, I feel it's important to point out that I was not on any drugs at the time. I believe, therefore, that the change in avatars must have taken place between then and now. Thank you for your time.

    Upon further investigation, I realize that I misread the point of the scientificness. I do that. However, I can say that my LDL cholesterol has become a very irritating substance.

    Tchhhh ... I'm sorry the news wasn't better. Wish I could say something to make it better. Hugs. Well, Jin, I've had a bit of an issue figuring out what to do first. I've looked into it & it looks like there's a group in San Diego that can help me with my first step. They appear to follow good protocol and can refer to practices that can...

    Donna, Welcome ! Jestgar, I really hope you do start at the Y. It's a great place to work out. Glad to have you here. I really believe that a little weight training goes a long way in increasing metabolism and motivation and more importantly, proper form really helps with posture. I don't know how old you are, but as we gals get older, that posture...

    Thanks Patti, I had hoped that was the case.

    Hi everybody, This is bothering me - A LOT. I never saw the thread, so I don't know exactly what happened, but I need to know that someone tried to send a PM. I can't seem to shake it. I'd like to persuade them to feel welcome here if someone hasn't done that already, but I can't find the stinkin' thread. Help? It makes me sad. As long as I...

    Thanks Liz. I'll have to check that out soon. As for the weekend goals I had, I was only partially successful, but since I only started last weekend, I'm feeling a little momentum building & I think I'll be on a great program soon. I did Triceps & Biceps - man, I had forgotten how wonderful it feels to work out. I didn't do any real cardio...

    Jerry, Remember that ability I was talking about before to capture the beauty in life? You see it, you capture it.
