    Hoping so! But definitely want to get it done to address if I have sleep apnea. Oncologist seemed pretty admimant about that.
  2. JesikaBeth
    Will do, thanks
  3. JesikaBeth
    Thanks, I actually had to reschedule. Very long and frustrating story behind that one. But I'll definitely post a new blog when I do have the sleep study and get the results.

    Well, 7 days down... a whole week gluten free... and I'm feeling hopeful. Good sign, considering I really thought I'd be down in the dumps over this (thank you to this forum and the book 'Living Gluten Free for Dummies by Danna Korn for the push in the hopeful direction!) We are making our very first grocery store trip this Friday, since my diagnosis...

    BTW, I just requested a copy of my Celiac Panel via online MyChart. I will keep posted and post results here to help decipher. Thanks

    Well, VERY long story but I have to reschedule. Grrr....

    Planning on (hopefully) going to the gluten free expo in Dallas, in November. Anyone else going to the Dallas one?

    That's great, Colleen! My Fibro symptoms have become almost nil too, it's been 6 days. I dont know if it's the new med, or gluten free, or both... but either way, I'll take it

    Thanks guys, great ideas! I have to admit I'm kind of excited to go grocery shopping, lol. Is that weird? Keep 'em coming

    Ahhh, ok. Thanks, I will see what I can do about getting a copy

    GottaSki ~ Hello. Thanks for your reply. Well, the doctor didn't use the word "Celiac", but he did say "Gluten Intolerant." He also said that the biopsy they took (which was inconclusive) could have been a false positive, but the bloodwork had antibodies. So I guess I'm a bit confused?

    Sleep study tonight. Here we go!

  16. JesikaBeth
    I am getting a sleep study done tonight. My Oncologist referred me for one. I have had chronic insomnia since I was 15 years old. I am now 34. My sleep is awkward, and I go through phases where I literally can't sleep at all (despite being on sleep medication prescribed by my psychiatrist), or I will sleep too much. I also have very little energy. My partner...

    BlessedMommy & Across ~ Thank you for sharing your experiences with me

    Hi Colleen! Good to see you again. Yes it does appear we have very similar stories! Thank you for sharing. I too take ativan daily, and for sleep I'm on Seroquel. My sleep is still awkward though. I'm interested to see how my overall health - physical and mental - is impacted by going gluten free.
  20. JesikaBeth
    Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I have to be there tonight at 11:00pm. Yes, I am currently gluten free. I got diagnosed 5 days ago, and am 5 days gluten free. I've had chronic insomnia since I was 15 years old (I am 34 now.) I take medication to help me sleep, prescribed by my psychiatrist, but even so my sleep is really awkward and touch and...

    Just wondering who else here deals with fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with having fibromyalgia in 2006-ish. It got so bad that medications weren't helping (Neurontin and Cymbalta), and the ones the doctors would prescribe that did provide some relief I could not take because they made me too tired (Tramadol and Flexeril.) I was diagnosed gluten intolerant...

    Here it is, July 2014. I have been going through the run around since 2009 with possible celiac and/or gluten intolerance diagnosis. Over the years, I have not gotten a solid answer; and in the meantime other health issues had taken front seat to my possible gluten problems. July 3, 2014: Diagnosis received. So far so good with being gluten free...

    Hello all. I was wondering if anyone's mental health has overall improved since going gluten free. Especially wondering if those with diagnoses of bipolar disorder, anxiety, and/or ADHD. Thanks in advance

    Just wondering if anyone is from Houston, Texas? Looking to meet local peeps
