ARCHIVED The American Idol Thread...2008
num1habsfan replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yes, we do get that show on our version of CMT. It really sucked when George Canyon was on it (who's obviously a canadian) because we couldnt vote for him! But its a good one, I love how they can play their instruments and write their own songs ~ Lisa ~ -
ARCHIVED The American Idol Thread...2008
num1habsfan replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'll be cheering for any country singer . I really wish you guys would get Canadian Idol. In a way it isn't fair....we get every single show of yours and obviously can't vote, but nobody even knows about our Canadian Idol most of the time. ITs not like the schedules would cut in with American Idol -- Canadian starts after American finishes!!! ... -
ARCHIVED Had Interesting Asthma Checkup!
num1habsfan posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hey guys. I had my usual asthma checkup yesterday and it was very interesting. Always have to do the basic breathing tests and apparently my asthma has gotten worse. My level was at 4.0, now only 2.7!! (don't ask level of what becase i forget ). I am supposed to get scheduled for a more official one of the hospital here in the city, not sure when that'll... -
ARCHIVED Friends Eating My Food?
num1habsfan replied to frogsrme1717's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Just be straight out and tell them. Say that it is very hard to find something like snacks (especially the junk food!!) and also very expensive and while you appreciate them wanting to try new things you only have a limited supply and sometimes you may share them little samples but not to eat the whole thing. If they're a true friend they will no be offended... -
ARCHIVED Re-hurt My Bad Handdd
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yeah there is a mini doc office on campus. If it doesnt improve any by the weekend then i'll go there maybe. You usually need an appointment but i'll tell them it was accident so its not like I knew it was coming. If i deicide to be stubborn i'll just wait until I go back to the doc about my gallbladder a week from now ~ Lisa ~ -

Thanks guys, its still hurting today. I accidently slept through my first class, oops...So i'll just go to the 2nd one. Its still all kinda nunb in pain and it doesnt look much different than it did last last. The thing that's going to KILL me is we have a winter storm warning right now ..so not only will my arthritis be affected by the snow, it will by the... -

ARCHIVED Re-hurt My Bad Handdd
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It is FAR from fun. I dread tomorrow....seeing how I rely on my laptop for class notes, I may have to try hand-write instead!!! *thanks god for being a lefty* ~ Lisa ~ -
Ahhh i swear my right hand is good for nothing!! Today is my 3rd time hurting it badly somehow. Here's what happened this time : trying to walk between a computer and the board (with not much space) at school, and I rammed my right hand straight into the corner of the whiteboard -- right on my vein!! Its been swollen/numb/sore all day. You may think i'm weird...

ARCHIVED Uti Med, Gluten Free Or Not...hmmmm!
num1habsfan replied to darlindeb25's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It's very likely it could be not gluten-free.....i'm not sure the name of the pills even, I am always given thd black and yellow capsules and I always seem to have some sort of a reaction to them (which often feels like glutened). But if I asked doctor he says even if it isn't gluten-free there are no other substitutions. Maybe that's just a problem in Canada... -
Hey guys. Not sure how many people read this in my other post so i'll start it on a seperate topic. For my research paper in Sociology class I'm going to do it on the limited supply of gluten-free products in Canada. So if you guys can help me figure out where I can find my research online/in books that would be great!! ~ Lisa ~

ARCHIVED New Label Rules In Canada
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Publications & Publicity
That is what I said, guess just worded it a non-proper way . I said that instead of saying no because its a "natural flavour", I can say no because that "natural flavour" will now list wheat and have an excuse ~ Lisa ~ -
ARCHIVED University Too Hard...
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks, Robyn!! As much as I would like to quit, I'm almost done...only 3 semesters to go (including this one). For this career anyways haha. The computer one would be a lot more work, but less years! Just an update, I finally had my 4th out of the 5 classes I have and this 4th teacher is AMAZING. She's officially my favourite ever. It's unfortunately... -
ARCHIVED Scared Of 3rd Diet :(
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Oops I kinda forgot to check back on this post. What kind of fruit juices do you mean??? Because of my hiatus hernia I have issues with anything acid-y...would something like tropicana be good? ~ Lisa ~ -
ARCHIVED University Too Hard...
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yeah i know. And anyone I had left semester doesnt allow tape recorders or anything. The one person had someone taking notes but so far in whatever classes I'm in theres no luck with that!! (as in the note taking). They alls ay you have to get to know somebody in your class and get anything you missed from them. Its not fair...if theres over 150 in a... -
Anything is possible i think when you have Celiac at a young age haha. Seems like whatever people usually don't get until they're older we can too. That's why I'd like to know....I'll see, if it doesnt improve on the weekend I'll just walk to the hospital at home. Much more handy to walk 3 blocks and not have to wait like 10 hours to be seen! It would be...

ARCHIVED Wheat Fields All Around Me!
num1habsfan replied to DebNC84's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I live in a farming area...Heck, all we HAVE in Saskatchewan is farming!! During the summer/fall you can see so much grain dust in the air that it looks like fog. So I warn you: If i'm exposed to it too much, and breathe it in, not only do I nearly have an asthma attack but I do get glutened. ~ Lisa ~ -
What are the chances of it being something like osteoarthritis?? ~ Lisa ~

ARCHIVED Document For Doctors To Sign For Taxes
num1habsfan replied to skikat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hmm, sorry i'm not familiar with the US taxing system..the only thing i've learned in Taxation so far is when someone from Canada moves to the US, that's about it....I can tell you that I just get to the doctor to write on a prescription slip that I have Celiac and am on the gluten-free det. And that's always been sufficient. But maybe check with your tax... -
ARCHIVED University Too Hard...
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
When i went in there to tell what was register the first time and tell my story i had to ask for some of the things i wanted. I was supposed to get a doctor to say all of them but he didn't...so it was the lady who used to work in the disability office (whos now retired) was the one that made the list up. There's i think 1 1/2 pages and the instructors have... -
ARCHIVED University Too Hard...
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That's interesting. I will do my research online and look into it, for sure... Btw, I talked to 2 of my instructors (briefly) and told them I'm still waiting for the letter and so one already said leaving to the washroom is fine, the other said I can likely have the extra time on exams and write them separately from everyone else and can reschedule if... -
ARCHIVED New Label Rules In Canada
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Publications & Publicity
Yeah, i wish they would just change it to gluten. But it's still a help......if I see warnings about "wheat" on something that should be gluten-free or appears to me, I ignore it. It's better to at least list wheat than not have ANY gluten. Since wheat is clearly the most typical thing added into everything. ~ Lisa ~ -

ARCHIVED The Nubru Beer
num1habsfan replied to num1habsfan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Guess you don't realize that right now in Canada the only gluten-free beer we can get is La Messagere. And Nubru is finally another being made in Canada too. I just wanna try my options so that if its good, and cheaper, i'll sometimes buy it too instead of paying $19 for a 6 pack of La Messagere... ~ Lisa ~
