  1. I was thinking the same thing! LOL!
  2. Long story short, the little boy I babysit for has been throwing up and having bad diarrhea for a few weeks now. He is 6 years old. They think it might be a virus, but he has had lots of "flares" of this kind of thing before. They performed an abdominal ultrasound and everything was fine. They did this as a first step to see if they could find anything...
  3. I'm starting to not believe that they're going to even make any changes! LOL! I thought for sure it would have been done by now.
  4. LOL! It might help if you followed the nurses instructions! I actually think I am going to go to this. My Lyme friend who lives in Northern CA emailed me this link a while ago. There is an AMAZING list of Dr's that are going to be speaking! I think the Saturday night GALA looks like a lot of fun! "Mingle" with the Dr's! FUN!!!
  5. It sounds like phlebitis. You need to put heat on it. You can google it for more info. It basically is swelling of the vein, from agitation/IV's. I got phlebitis so bad from IV Iron, that's why we did the PICC line this time. It doesn't cause permanent damage, and it's not really a big deal. If it gets worse, or if the swelling moves (like up your arm...
  6. I will not be going this year, unfortunately. I went last year and it was a lot of fun!!! There was lots of great food and it was great to meet people in LA with Celiac!
  7. They are AMAZING!!! I used to eat them all the time before I went gluten free. I have no idea about the gluten status of them...they are probably made on shared equipment or same facility as wheat, so it's up to you.
  8. Julie...do you know how much it will cost to have done? You can PM me if you'd like. I am seeing Dr H this weekend and I want to ask him about these kinds of tests. Everyone, I made an appt. with a Naturopath Dr for this coming Wednesday. I figured this way I will be able to have her test stuff that Dr H puts me on this weekend. I am excited...
  9. This is really interesting to me, because my mom thinks all I talk about is Lyme Disease and Celiac! LOL! SO, it's kinda the opposite for me. BUT, it sounds like maybe she is running out of things to talk about? I am working on keeping up on current events so my mom and I don't talk about other people (she LOVES to gossip and I like to participate!! LOL...
  10. LOL! :lol: (I am totally using celiac.com to pretend I'm doing school work...and I'm looking at make up! I'm such a BAD girl! LOL!)
  11. I have a rebounder. It does give me headaches. I don't go on it often because I think it just drains my lymphs too much...I can't tolerate it. You had animal cookies....are you gluten free? Were they gluten free? I have nightmares about being forced to eat gluten, lol. I am SO sensitive to it I can't imagine it! Actually...on this subject, does...
  12. I know?! What on earth is going on? I'm bummed! I wanted to order a huge kit, but I am waiting for the new site because I might want new things instead of the ones on the site now (if that makes any sense?).
  13. I'd do it if I were you! If I wasn't on so many meds for Lyme disease, I would take it. They are only herbs, so I can't imagine it would hurt you. And, it can in theory only make you feel better.
  14. Yes, those were the good ol' days...sleep in the shower! I am usually pretty good about slowing down when I feel good, but I have felt really good, so I went WAY overboard. Like right now, I'm supposed to be at my uncles house, but I couldn't get out of bed, so I'm still in bed. And, I guess I was REALLY tired because I fell asleep at 10 last...
  15. Ok, just a little venting. I was starting to feel a lot better. Got through some really tough things emotionally and was just feeling better about everything...life, my health, school, etc. Now, I started going to my uncles' house yesterday...I got there at 12.15, then left at almost 5 PM. I am SOOOOOO exhausted today. I took a nap, and it's...
  16. I once dropped my phone in the toilet! That was HORRIBLE! I thought I was going to die without it! LOL!!! (The reason I had it in the bathroom was because I had pulled an all-nighter and used to fall asleep in the shower...so I set my alarm. )
  17. LOL! I did one for candida, and it was really hard! I would rather it over a blood draw though!
  18. I was told to do up to 6 cups of Epsom salt in each bath. I stay in as long as I can...which is usually only 20 minutes at the MOST (mainly because I get bored. ). You should work up slowly though. I don't feel any different when I take them versus when I don't take them.
  19. Yes, they are amazing! I used to love lamb, but it no longer likes me. It's too rich I guess. April, I'm glad the hematologist said nothing was wrong. When I go to my hematologist it's just kinda for him to look blood work over. We never talk about my symptoms really...because I have been anemic so many times I know what it feels like. And, he...
  20. Oh. Yea, that was a hospital school, and I wouldn't be able to graduate with that. That was also through a public school. These tutors we are paying...it's private. Thanks.
  21. I think I am going to write them and find out. That is not cool at all if they are sending out different brushes! The eyeshadow brush that I got and love I would pay a LOT more money than if it was the same as the kabuki. Hmm, I sure hope they are being ethical.
  22. The best form of iron you can get is ferrous gluconate. It should be fine on a candida diet. You might not be able to just get it from a health food store. And, most brands are starch, gluten and sugar free. It is JUST iron...nothing else in it except maybe folic acid. (You need folic acid and vitamin C in order to absorb iron). It fell through...
  23. Just wanted to share some good news with everyone. My Uncles have offered to pay for me to have a tutor 3 days a week to help me do work with online school. I will be going to their house 3 days a week (they live close) to be with my tutors and to force me to get work done! I am VERY excited. Their main concern is that I finish High School before I...
  24. I actually have been wondering why everyone raves about the EM brushes. I have a kabuki (I don't know what size it is) and it's pretty pathetic. It is not soft at all. It also doesn't say EM on it. It looks like a cheapie brush from a drug store. I also have an eyeshadow brush I got from them, and I love it. It came with the mini E/S kit and it is really...
