ARCHIVED I'm On My Way To Hospital.
conniebky posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Well, I'm having another one of these episodes that I've been having. I'm at work. My daughter is going to come and pick me up and take me on over there now. I don't know what is causing this, but it's time to find out. I feel like I'm going to faint away. I got up, ate everything I'm supposed to eat, was feeling fine, ate a chicken breast with sweet... -

conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, my doctor continues his education, I'm pretty sure it's required - ? The MUMPS???? Who woulda thought? -
I was told glucose syrup contains gluten. Is this the same glucose syrup I'm supposed to drink on Saturday for my test? YIKES!

ARCHIVED My Doctor
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Good thinking! Yeah, he said that I have to bring someone with me so my mom's gonna go with me. Hey! Maybe she'll take me out to eat after!! Come to think of it, its my doctor who took that picture of me in my avatar on here, when we were all out for lunch one day I didn't pass out in my car but I almost did on Monday. -
ARCHIVED My Doctor
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, he mentioned that. He said since its been only three weeks and I've ingested some curious things, he feels it a good idea to go ahead and do it anyway, he brought that up and decided to go ahead and try. -
ARCHIVED My Doctor
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
LOL, yeah I think I;ll get me one of those variety puzzle word games books. I am not scared of the blood draws, but I am scared of passing out. That's 13 hours I have to go fasting! But if I pass out there, hell, it's better than passing out in my car, that;s for darn sure! Sorry about my typing today y;all i'm on my daughter's laptop! -
ARCHIVED The Anxiety Merry-Go-Round
conniebky replied to quincy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I know exactly what you mean, Quincy. I have had a bottle of valium in my purse for years. I get 100 at a time, rx'd for 3-4 daily, PRN, so I don't know the math, but the bottle I have right now I've had for EVER and I haven't put a dent in it until recently. When I feel that feeling coming over me, the dizzy, fuzzy, pukey feeling, I'll take a half for... -

ARCHIVED My Doctor
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
LOL! No, seriously I am laughing out loud! Of course! C'mon! We'll all have a blast! When he graduated, he was a doctor in Appalachia so God only knows what he saw there, he says he learned more in the hills than he did in grad school. He's been practicing since the sixties, so he knows a thing or two and keeps up on everything. I really thought... -
Ok, I talked to my doctor, told him about everything. He said (regarding the hyproglycemia), he goes, "don't eat any white rice" I said I've been living on that. He said stop it. I asked him if he's heard of Celiac. He said, "oh, celiac is older'n dirt and it's not to be fooled with", so YAY! My old country doctor is HIP! LOL! So, Saturday...

sometimes I feel like Barney Fife, "I'd like to punch 'em all! Right in the nose!"

LOL - Maybe we were separated at birth!

ARCHIVED Which Would Be More Humane
conniebky replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
OMG, hon, I don't even know what to say. I feel just awful for you in this situation. I've been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to think of something to say, but I can't......but i'm thinking of you. -
Yeah, he already told me that he's putting on the order that I'm not to leave for the five hours and I have to bring someone with me. LOL, Teresa looked all the way back in my chart. He's been my doctor since 1974 He kind of took on the role of a second dad to me when my daddy passed, we are very very close, mostly like family. Also, he doesn't...

Ok, the doctor that I used to work for is a GP. This is so stupid, but here's the story. When I left there for a better job, after years, which liked to kilt me, the girl he hired to take my place, well, she doesn't like me. Why, I don't know, she doesn't like me because I used to work there and she's sick and tired of hearing about the great and powerful...

You're not being a witch, I totally agree with you. I thought about that when I got in bed last night....very disturbing.

ARCHIVED Tamari Sauce
conniebky posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love Tamari sauce! I love it way better than soy sauce! it's not as bitter or salty, I've been telling all my friends about it. It's one thing I've found that is exactly better ( to me ) without the gluten. -
ARCHIVED How Do You Explain It
conniebky replied to summerteeth's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'd have to get redneck in that situation and went and knocked that "lady" into next week. OMG! I cannot believe full grown adults act like this. Honestly, why in this world would a grown up act like that? I hope she's not a teacher too....what valuable thing could she possibly be teaching to children if she finds that kind of behavior appropriate on... -

conniebky replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity
Geez, what a jerk. On so many levels! -
Let's see, I got nauseated, blurred vision, complete body weakness, sweating, shaking, things like that. I just looked up hypoglycemia (which I have already been dx'd with and I wish I hadn't done that because they had all kinds of scary things to say about the pancreas. but one thing it said was "an autoimmune disorder lowers sugar levels in the blood...

It was so interesting last night when we went to the gluten-free section of the market. I was OH! they (you all) said get this! Oh! they said get this! Most everything you all suggested was there and those Lara bars were 10 for $10. I had to scoot around there in one of those drive around carts, she wouldn't let me walk and I surely didn't feel like...

So I get up this morning, don't feel terrific, feel tired and yucky (not gluten yucky)drive to work, remember I need celery for work, go in the store, get the celery. Drive down the road a bit and become totally disoriented. Literally, I wanted to pull over and literally could not figure out how to. So I made a dangerous turn and got pulled into a lot...

I've had a few people tell me that the cat eating is a very expensive pure bred cat.....I remember "blue" being in the name, so I guess you're right about that.

ARCHIVED The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original
conniebky replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Ok, who wants to get rich and famous? I think there should be a gluten free cooking show on the food network, cuz that Paula Dean's about to kill me with all that wonderful stuff she cooks and bakes. I think it's a GREAT idea! It could be called the Celi-Cook -? The Gluten Glutton? no, that's backwards... Whatcha think? -
