  1. No, I didn't try these. I saw two different ones at two other hospitals. It want hurt to make an appointment and see how it goes.
  2. I live in Birmingham and didn't have much luck with a doctor here but I have been seeing Dr. Cynthia Rudert in Atlanta and really like her. Good luck, I think it is hit and miss with most doctors.
  3. O+ Sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes.
  4. I am so sorry about your diagnosis but so glad it's in the early stages. Hang in there with your treatment and keep us updated.
  5. It sounds like restless leg which can be caused by a low iron. I was having really bad restless leg and my iron was extremely low but once my iron started coming up it got better. My doctor is the one who said it can but not always can be because of a low iron. Hope this helps!
  6. I don't know the answer to your question but I have something that sounds exactly like that. I have a patchy area on one knuckle that gets really itchy, red and I can feel little bumps. The area gets dry and cracks which really hurts. Everytime this appears on my knuckle I have some sort of area on the opposite hand on my pinky finger on the outer side...
  7. Before I went gluten free I was sleeping so much and so exhausted that I really thought I was dying. I had other symptoms such as joint pain, migraines, bloating, gas, severe brain fog and abdominal pain. I had no idea they were all connected and was all because of FOOD!!! I have two small children and felt like the worst mother and wife but knew I was...
  8. I had the genetic testing done and I am double DQ 8. Does this mean that each of my parents have the genes? Several autoimmune diseases run in my family but I can't convince my parents to get tested.
  9. I know how frustrated you are feeling because I was just wanting someone to tell me definitely I did or did not have celiacs. Unfortunately it isn't always that easy because soooo many doctors are ignorant ont the signs and symptoms of celiacs, the proper test to run and how it is treated. I had a gastro doc tell me there was not way I could have celiacs...
  10. I miss not having to think about every single thing I am going to eat. But I really miss Krispy Kreme doughnuts!
  11. Hi, my B12 was in the low 200's too, I was having the same symptoms memory loss, brain fog, off balance, clumsy and my doctor has me taking B12 sublingual. Also they need to check your Vit D level, iron, ferritin and thyroid panel. My vit D, iron, and ferritin were almost non existent. I have learned so much more from this board than I did from the doctor...

  13. Thanks Raven! It is so hard to know what is what at times, I have never seen such a medical problem that is so complex.
  14. Hi, I know it is so frustrating when you just want to know which one. I was recently diagnosed as having a problem with gluten and told by my doctor to go gluten free, she ran a celiac panel and sent me to a nutritionist. The blood test was negative but by the time I found out, I had been gluten free over a month and feeling so much better. Since I had...
  15. Hi, I was just diagnosed before Thanksgiving. My doctor recommended probiotics and digestive enzymes as part of the process. I know alot of people tend to have secondary problems such as a problem with dairy, which is what I have. Hang in there and I hope you get to feeling better soon!
