    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Ok, I really don't need to be on here. But honestly, if you had to choose between working on a paper or checking the Sillies before class, which would you choose? :lol: :lol: Speaking of accents, there's a student at my school from Scotland. I just found out were he was from yesterday when he gave a class presentation. Gosh, that...

    Hello everyone! I'm not dead! It's the last full week of school, and I'm going absolutely INSANE. 1 paper 5 article reviews (yay for empirical articles in Psychology journals...NOT) 1 test today (easy, thank God) 3 tests next week GAAAAAAA I'll be back in full swing by the end of next week. I would make a pun out of that, but my...

    When I was in high school they cut down the "thicket" behind my house. I sat on a tree stump and cried while the construction workers laughed at me. Tom, my dad thought that you asking me if I had an older sister was hilarious. And now, the funny story of the day: I attend a small Christian Liberal Arts college, where we have chapel...

    The biopsy came back as probable for DH. Apple!!!!!

    I am soooo confused... In 1992 I was listening to "Wee Sing Bible Songs." I saw my dermatologist yesterday. She is no longer my dermatologist. To quote my mom, "The woman at the front desk knew more than she did." She never did the blood test for Celiac...just the biopsy. WTH!?! Now I have to get that test done. If it turns...

    My mom went with me to the doctor yesterday. In talking to her, we found out that: 1) My biopsy came back as probable for DH. She did not run the Celiac test. 2) Everything we said she agreed with. I probably could have convinced her that Hitler was really the Dali Lama. 3) To quote my mother, "The woman at the front desk knows more than she does...

    My dad (and the majority of my family) is from Alabama. I never officially lived there, but I used to spend weeks there on my grandparent's farm and I go every-other year for Thanksgiving. As for Clemson, if you live in the area long enough (and I've been here since I was 3) you gravitate towards Clemson or USC. My mom works for Clemson, so I root for...

    I'm showing my hick roots with this post...it's about time they came out. Tom, I don't know much about professional sports, but I love college football! Saturday when I was away from home (and ESPN) I was calling my dad every 30 minutes for updates on the Clemson/USC game and the Alabama/Auburn game. I love my Crimson Tide, but it's sad when you keep...

    Heck no! I used to like math until high school algebra. Worst. Teacher. Ever. The M is my last initial. Clever and original, aren't I?

    That's what I'm afraid of. I think I'm going to take your advice and ask all the questions anyways... Maybe she'll surprise me, although I doubt it. I'm sorry you're in a pissy mood. I know I will be when I get there tomorrow. I also think I'm coming down with a milder version of what my boyfriend has...great.

    Actually, it is the doctor who diagnosed me. Dermatologist, looks to be in her 70s, still not sure if I like her or not. This is copied from my blog: When I was diagnosed, I was told over the phone by the office secretary. I was told that I have DH, I need to go on a gluten free diet, to start taking Dapsone immediately, and to come in in two weeks...

    I have no clue. In honors English class in middle school I had a note card taped in the front of my notebook that listed what a subject, verb, adverb, noun, pronoun, direct object, and an indirect object were. Ask me to edit your paper for problems and I'm fine. Ask me to diagram a sentence and I'd rather die.

    Doctor Issues...

    JoyfulM posted a blog entry in JoyfulM's Blog

    For the past three years, I've been having weird breakouts on my elbows. Some medical professionals told me that it was most likely a skin reaction, and not to worry about it unless it spread. This August I noticed it on my knees as well. This started my doctor chain. I first visited my family doctor, who sent me to an allergist. I went in for a scratch test...

    Amanda, I'm praying that everything is ok! I had an odd reaction to a TB test one time, but we figured out that it was just an allergic reaction to the band-aid. I know that this is a "no talking about celiac" forum, but I'm new at this and y'all are much more used to the lifestyle than I am. I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow for the first time since...

    I'm going to see my Dermatologist tomorrow for the first time since I was diagnosed, and I have a bit of a bone to pick with her. When I was diagnosed, I was told over the phone by the office secretary. I was told that I have DH, I need to go on a gluten free diet, to start taking Dapsone immediately, and to come in in two weeks for blood work. No explanation...

    Seriously. Josh does have to pay for his school bill, cell phone and car insurance. I just pay for gas. I think I have the better deal. Jess, I feel so sorry for that guy!

    Is it raining everywhere today? I'm very tempted to do an snow ice dance so they cancel school tomorrow. Seriously, South Carolina is so hard core that the public schools get at least a two hour delay for half an inch of snow Oh, and an embarrassing story to entertain all of you at work: I took my boyfriend's car to Wal-Mart, cause his parents...

    Well, I didn't make it to class - but it was for a good reason, I swear! My boyfriend is sick so I had to do a quick run to Wal-Mart for pepto and ginger ale. Does this mean I'm getting the 1000-post sickness early?!? That counts as an excused absence, right?

    My boyfriend's family is in Old Fort (or Old Fart, depending on whose talking) I just click "quote" at the bottom of the posts I want to quote. I'm still not done with that paper Do I have to go to class today?
  21. JoyfulM
    I'm all for it, too!

    Ok, I've got a newbie question. I was just diagnosed two weeks ago with DH and was put on Dapsone. My rash never itched to begin with and is my only noticeable symptom. How can I tell if I have eaten gluten? As much as I'd like to think that I managed to not eat gluten on Thanksgiving, with 80+ people around and 5+ tables of food with serving spoons...

    I'm back! You haven't scared me off...yet. Honestly, I couldn't tell you if I was glutinized over Thanksgiving or not...one of the downsides of having DH. However, gluten or not, I did have some amazing ratatouille, grilled salmon, turkey, green beans, and sweet peas. As soon as my cousin wears down from all the stalking loving emails, I'll let...

    I'm about to run out the door, but I had to check Tickle Me Elbow first...you corrupted me so fast. Just watch out for the "chocolate" chunks, right?

    Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 pm traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 pm at a speed of 35mph. Literature and Physics? Ouch. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck...
