ARCHIVED Wondering How Long I Have
mm&j posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi, I was diagnosed Celiac a month ago and have seen some improvement. My MAIN symptoms were back and other bone pain and extreme fatigue along with about a dozen other lesser symptoms but NO digestive ones. I since have been diagnosed with osteopenia. I know there is no exact way of knowing, but could someone give an opinion of how long I probably had Celiac... -
Thanks, I've done the look for the glasses thing with them on my face, too. My entire back hurts from the neck down, including upper back. I think that pain is part of the reason I am so tired and physically exhaused. I do try to do water aerobics and swimming twice a week at least. That helps. Sometimes eggs agree with me and sometimes not. I truly haven...

You are such a help! Thanks again. I did order some of those B12 tablets so they probably need a little more time to work, (and I have been gardening a lot lately, also). I will keep with everything and realize that it does take TIME. Susie

It has been 2 1/2 weeks for me of gluten-free eating. I still feel quite "fogged' (now that I understand what brainfog is)...what do you think the time aspect shoud be? I just have no idea as to when I will have my "old" mind back. Maybe never! Maybe I'm still getting some gluten somewhere, or maybe still detoxing, I don't know. I'm still very fatigued and...

From what I've seen so far that has been true, and you seem to be at the top of the list, always answering and helping people out (especially the new ones) Thanks...and your goslings are gorgeous! Susie

Hi, I haven't been on since yesterday (gardening all day here in PA, just gorgeous today after some snow and cold in late April) and I appreciate everyone who responded. It's really exciting for me to get answers. I'm new to any kind of message boards and I am getting hooked. I feel better about brainfog. I can relate to it ALL. Thanks again, mm&...

It is kind-of nice to know that there is a real reason for all the madness! Thanks for answering.

I've felt that way since I had my kids, of course that could be when the Celiac started. Thanks.
-
Thanks, I have all of those but I just figured in my case it was because I am 50 years old with 6 and 8 year old talkative girls who have the tendency to never let me have a complete thought without asking for or telling me something. Maybe I'd better stop blaming them and realize it is a part of celiac...just diagnosed 2 weeks ago. Thanks again

Thanks also, I need to understand in detail also. mm&j (Susie) -
This may sound stupid, so I probably have it...but could someone explain or elaborate on brainfog. Thanks,

ARCHIVED Magazine's Article Concerning Gluten
mm&j replied to JodiC's topic in Publications & Publicity
What really bothers me about the "trend" of people without the disease going gluten-free to lose weight is that it won't be taken as seriously when a true celiac person askes for gluten-free. Restaurants, etc. will become more careless possibly if they think people are doing it just for their looks. -
ARCHIVED Other Symptoms?
mm&j replied to maura101's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, I was just diagnosed last week and never had one intestinal symptom. I always figured that was my one area of least concern because on a medical history I never checked off anything in the gastric area. My main symptoms were(are) extreme fatique and sleepiness, bone pain and weakness. I do, also, experience brain fog, forgetfulness and irritability. The... -
Heather, Thanks for writing this. I feel exactly the same. My life since the fall has been getting up feeling exhausted after any amount (even 12 hours) of sleep. I'd get one kid off to school...go back to sleep, get the other to Kindergarten...SLEEP, get them off the school bus...SLEEP, get some kind of dinner...SLEEP or try to get them to do homework and...

ARCHIVED New Celiac And Have Questions
mm&j replied to mm&j's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for responding. I can't believe that you felt as good as you do so soon. It gives me encouragement and hope that I will get to the gardening, walking the dog, etc....things that I used to love to do and now I just feel guilty because they are not getting done. Glad you are continuing to improve and thanks again for writing back. -

ARCHIVED New Celiac And Have Questions
mm&j replied to mm&j's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
thanks for answering. It has been so long since I have felt well. It is nice to know there is some hope for healing...not having to go to bed before my 6 and 8 year old kids. Also glad to hear that the depression will begin to go away...I think having a DIAGNOSIS even has helped in that regard already. -

ARCHIVED New Celiac And Have Questions
mm&j posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was just diagnosed with Celiac after 8 months of many doctors. Finally, after I asked for my Vitamin D level to be checked, I got a diagnoses of Celiac disease when my D level was at 13. I had no digestive/intestinal symptoms, just severe fatique, terrible bone pain and weakness were the main symptoms. I'm happy to go gluten-free as I thought the worst...
