    Trash can lids rule....City kid here! and oh, gosh.... I am surely not ready for it either...I may just ride the cat around on it..... I just want to play!

    have a blast! So, back to basics! Dinner tonight: Pork medallions in carmelized onions Applesauce and the "encore" of the butternut squash, goat cheese and hazelnut gratin. I exercised major restraint and did NOT make the cheesecake. not sure where this is coming from, except maybe the resurrected gym rat I had inside me? I broke...

    Arlene, I do hope his back feels better! and I have to say, I've got one of those darling guys, too. So nice to be watched over! and, BTW you always make the best-sounding comfort food to eat!!!! Yum!

    go, enjoy! You deserve it! You've been a wonderfully supportive daughter, mother, sister and friend.......all week (as always) and it's time for a break. xx.

    I think so, yes, IMHO. Dr. Guandalini (Celiac specialist and GI doc) and Dr. Lewey (GI doc) seem to think so as well.There's an article about probiotics and which ones are most useful in that book we talked about on the other thread? Real Life with celiac disease. In any case, they certainly can't hurt! They're the "good guys". Open Original...

    Oh sweets! I know this kind of hurting all over and I wish I could make it stop for you. I am sending you so much love and supportive gentle hugs. Stay warm. Heat your muscles. Rest. xxoo

    oh boy...I am so familiar with this shovel/ pant routine . Done it many, many times. Take it easy!

    Looks like it has stopped at " 6-7 ish ". The sun is out and my power remained on. Hype was bigger than the storm--as usual. My friends and family in Massachusetts however....report 24-28 inches. Hearty New Englanders like us do not get very upset about such things, but as we get older, it does seem "less fun". The hubs has gone out to begin...

    why, thank you so much!

    Ditto...6 inches this AM and still counting...it's not done yet......but you can bet I'm not shoveling any of it. Power is still on---that's a bonus. We always lose power. (probably just jinxed myself......... )

    and sometimes, we have had to do the unthinkable. A trash bag inside a wastebasket ---because the loo was occupied and you cannot wait a single second more. or go outside, way back in the woods. (good thing we own 7 acres) I know where every bathroom is within a 180 mile radius of my home. Not kidding. but I do not need to know that...

    Just sharing her expertise. I also had SEVERE pelvic floor dysfunction. That was treated by a separate PT who specializes in male and female pelvic pain. I found her by googling my face off. No Doc could help me with that pain. I cried rivers from that pain. She helped save me from a life bent over as" little old lady. " not kidding, guys....

    I have my life back. I was almost dead, really. Now I am not.

    Ice for new injuries and inflammation. Heat for old injuries.,,, and chronic achy stuff. Ice for nervy pain. Never heat. Migraines? COLD on your neck and occipital muscles to reduce the neck inflammation. painful tendons? alternate Hot and cold --1 minute each, 6 minutes total ...finishing with heat and STRETCH gently!! I nearly broke my ankle...

    Do not get me started on the wastebasket syndrome of Fibromyalgia (which just means "weak" muscles") 2 pain management docs told me "I do not believe it exists" DUH ! No sh*t doc! so, why are those muscles weak??? (well, now I know: vitamin deficiencies, malabsorption, etc) "Fibromyalgia is a common syndrome in which a person has long-term,...

    Quick! someone talk me out of making a vanilla cheesecake. What is it about stormy weather that makes me want to make so much comfort food? Hubs is having pizza for dinner.... but I'm not.......grumble ....grumble....

    Like Love2, I suffer from intense muscle, bone and joint pain. I had a major loss of muscle mass from undiagnosed celiac. I've been in physical rehabilitation for over 2 years as a result. Just opening a jar was difficult for awhile. Walking the length of my driveway was impossible. Malabsorption wreaks havoc on connective tissue, ligaments, tendons...

    Keep trying. I was once emoticon challenged too and used to beg Karen, Jestgar and Peter to please do it for me. Now, I am an emoticon-posting champ.

  23. IrishHeart
    I noticed you were missing but I did not want to bug you on email, asking...whassup?? but you were missed, honey. Sorry you are not feeling well. I GET pain and I know how much it sucks. I hope you feel better soon and I hope the doc gives you answers and relief. Hugs, IH Looks like we are all having some pain issues lately.

    My Blizzard of '78 story: I was 21. College classes were cancelled for a week. (unheard of in Boston) I had some very fun friends and we liked to go to clubs. It was 1978. I was young, I had a Farrah Fawcett hairdo!!. You fill in the blanks.
