    What in hell?! What could this meeeeeen??? Well my feet hurt. I've been cooking all day. It started with a loaf of your basic gluten-free bread... and then I realized that cooking can be very soothing. First do this, then do that, one step at a time. Can't worry about anything else until you do the first step, then the next. Plus, the measuring...

    I just recently read that same percentage that Ursa mentioned... now I'm trying like heck to remember where. Will look at the most recent articles I've read again and see if I can find it.

    A WHAT??? Am hoping like hell that a beaver tail is one of those fried pastries with powdered sugar... Gotta be... Those things have a different name in each county, seems like. Well, thank GOD, I'm feeling a mite better today, because yesterday was HELL on earth. Won't go into details, because I really want to pretend yesterday never happened. But...

    It would be great if I could find something like that for them, but all the ones I've looked at around here are terribly expensive. I don't know how anyone can afford it. Tapering off Effexor because of the cost. I should have tapered off slower, but I had to do it in two weeks. I've been off it for several days now... The other meds would probably...

    Ouch. NOT having a good day over here. Major emotional issues going with the med withdrawal. Desperately wishing my mom or MIL were retired so I could foist my kids on them for a few days, as I am not fit to be around anyone right now. Crying over everything one moment, then angry and hating everything the next. I hate this.

    Happy Birthday, Donna!!!

    Me, too. I hate this. I'm trying to think of what else to say, but it's just a hundred different ways of saying how much I hate this. I wish I could be there. If there's anything... ANYTHING at all we can for you guys or the kids, please let us know.

    My mom was just diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. We don't yet know what organs it's affecting; she hasn't had any testing yet. (It was diagnosed from a biopsy of a growth on her leg.) I guess I just wanted to put out a general reminder that when one autoimmune disease is present, there is a somewhat higher chance of developing another. I've been looking...

    Definitely will send some your way Susie. (((HUGS)))

    The straights never come in here.

    You're doing great, Rachelle-- the fact that this week was the first time one of your kids has whacked the other one is proof of that! All of us moms do the best we can for our families. What's right for one family may not be for another family. I know what you mean about growing up fast... I mentioned something earlier today that they are only...

    Exactly! That was just a bit too self-righteous for me. Maybe it wasn't deliberate, but I couldn't sit by for that. Thanks for backing me up over there. One can hope. Absolutely! It all goes back to the parenting. Cutting TV out completely makes the child miss out on all the wonderful stories and fun ways of learning that TV and video...

    Dude... I just had a little bit of a rant in the "My kids are going to kill each other" thread. A couple people seemed like they were blaming bad behavior on TV. I couldn't stand for that. I hate it when people blame everything on TV, I think it's bull.
  14. Ridgewalker
    Are you kidding me? Don't even THINK it!!! You are an excellent mom!!! TV is not evil. Sure, kids who watch whatever they want, all day long, are going to have issues. Behavioral and physical. But a little TV is not going to cause behavioral problems in kids who wouldn't have had them otherwise. Sorry. It's just not. My kids watch plenty...

    No, I've been taking it for about 5 years now. Effexor is a difficult one to get off of. I'm having to do it because they aren't bringing my doc sample packets anymore, and it's wretchedly expensive. I'm going to have to find something else. But for now, all I could do was use the last of the pills I had to wean down. I was on 150 mg daily. I had some 7...

    What does the Bragg's taste like? I've been thinking about buying that and giving it a try-- I'm on a low-sodium diet for my bp, and really miss using soy sauce in cooking!!! (Even low-sodium soy sauce is really high in sodium. Sigh.) I'd also like the recipes for the stuff you mentioned, if you could post them.
  17. Ridgewalker
    Oh mah gah, Susie, I LOVE you for offering that!!! But I think I'll be ok. The nausea/nerve shocks/dizziness are utterly heinous, but the Phenergan helps with that, and I also have plenty of Vistaril, which should help the emotional issues. But I haven't decided what I want to do after this... I don't feel comfortable being antidepressant-less right now....
  18. Ridgewalker
    I laughed at first, and almost told the truth, but stopped myself. "Well... Yes. Yes, I kind of do have Super Vision." Whew on the post. I was worried I might've sounded like I felt. That wouldn't have been cool. I had the same thought when I read that!

    :lol: I don't think he knew what got into me, but wasn't going to question it! Fantastic! Go, Jack! OW. I LOVE your new av, Susie! Is your hair shorter, or am I imagining things? Owie, on your poor finger. If the nails falls out, will a new one grow back? Yay, you must be so excited! Wave to me when you fly...

    Took my last Effexor the day before yesterday, and I'm feeling some withdrawal issues. Got sick to my stomach, rapid heartbeat, shock-like tingles last night. I took a phenergan (Rx anti-nausea) and that helped. Today I'm emotional like crazy... There's a woman over in the pregnancy forum who found out she was pregnant the same day she was diagnosed with...

    Nobody knows, for sure, precisely why women with Celiac have a higher chance of miscarriage. Most likely it's not just one thing. Malabsorption of nutrients seems to be the leading theory. I'm sure you're taking prenatal vitamins, which is good. Every day that you are gluten-free, your body is healing and functioning better. I read one of your other...

    :lol: Brian goes with the good old, "headlights are on."
  23. Ridgewalker
    You are undoubtedly correct in this. Bev, I so agree with Em... You are amazing! And don't forget our whinery! You can always come here and be weepy and whiny to us!!!
  24. Ridgewalker
    Oh... mah... GAH! Carla got me to thinkin', and I just sent Brian a few frisky IMs at work... I think he may actually get home at a decent time tonight. Which means I may actually get some help with dinner and Pod Children wrangling!
  25. Ridgewalker
    :lol: :lol: Omg! As I was reading, I thought, YES!!! AC in the bra would be heaven! BUT then, I get to the caveat. There is that effect to consider. Carla? What do you think? Probably overkill, huh???
