    Having suffered severe neuropathy and burning nerve pain during the 3 years prior to my diagnosis, I had the same battery of testing you did. EMGs on legs and arms (that is not fun), a brain MRI and a spinal MRI, testing for lupus, diabetes and repeatedly for Lyme,I was told I probably had fibromyalgia and I should take Neurontin plus nortryptiline or lyrica...

    Thanks for summarizing what you learned at the symposium, Jess. I have been getting some great info from Karen, and any more I can hear is eagerly awaited. I know how busy you are, so just taking the time to summarize all that is fantastic! and wow! I had no idea that: There are many types of tissue transglutaminase (TTG) antibodies. Type 2 TTG...

    Any chef who provides daily bacon is a good chef. Maybe his appetite was up because he was happy to see his Mom?. Oh yes, there are lots of RED things at Sur La Table. I got some big ole red silicone oven mitts yesterday. (picture things that may be used to handle industrial waste lol) I have a problem with burning myself while taking things out...

    Plus, her name is Ginny. Ginny Bakes. I mean, c'mon! Hubs' Bday is Dec. 13. His day was kept separate, he recalls and not combined with Christmas. His parents made sure of that. He was an only child, so that could be part of it. My cousin's Bday was Dec. 25. She said she did not mind it as she thought all the fuss was about her.lol I think the only...

    IMHO StephanieL has major life experience with allergies in children, so in this case, I am going to say..."whatever she says".

    Wasn't Karen the one who suggested this particular offering from U of C to you? I have recommended it myself to some people, too and you are the first to tell us" it's coming!" and I hope you will share what's in it. ( we are all easily amused and excited and take pleasure in these things...LOL) It's so exciting to get a package, isn't it!...

    I was a serious baker and I did not use my rolling pin 2-3 times a month. I used it 2-3 times a year. TOPS. So, maybe our definitions of "serious baker" do not mesh. and I think your sweetie is very right in the head, IMHO. He'll be thrilled to know I said this, I am sure. There's more to enjoy in the dessert world than pie. in fact, pie......

    That's nothing to be ashamed of. How often does anyone use a rolling pin? the holidays....so, you're just in time. So, do you want a giraffe cookie cutter? huh huh, do ya??

    I am so glad you are feeling better and this sounds like a BLAST! I wish I could go out and play with you tonight. I am excited because we found a Whole Paycheck right near a new place for lunch This guy does a great job and makes the most ridiculously yummy salads, lettuce cups.wraps, handmade chocolates and ice cream (yes, that vegan/non dairy/gluten...

    yes, my doctor was not even concerned about the gastritis. I read it on the report too and asked him about it. He was more interested in the intestinal scarring I have from not being Dxed all my life. He found it "fascinating".

    You asked does anyone know what might cause you to lose consciousness? hon, we're not doctors on here and all we want is for you to be safe and healthy. If you pass out like that again, you might want to go to the emergency room. Not to scare you, but you can't "tough out" diabetes or a stroke. You may need medical attention. Sorry you...

    Okay, did you call my hubs last night? because he has already pitched this plea. My reply was one night of test- driving the candy for the kids is enough. Honestly, if I were to get it now, there wouldn't be any left come 10/31. I am a grazer--you know what that means, right...I graze the shelves in the fridge and the cupboards....and if I find it, I...

    That sounds like a blast!!!! ENJOY!!! The last time I got to do something like that with the neighborhood peeps was about 17 years ago (when I lived in the city) I was dressed as Elvira and gave out candy, then went to a party. whoohoo that was fun.... When I moved to a house on a dirt road on 7 acres, no one came up that long drive. Anyhoo...

    me too. I have never had roast beef from a package as a result.

    When I have been hit, I double the probiotics for a week (dose in morning, dose at bedtime) and it knocks down the inflammation and I drink a lot of water. Take it slow, rest. It's all we can do. Time heals. I eat mostly carby stuff (I know, fattening) but toast with jam just makes me feel better and then, just ride it out. Sorry, hunny ((HUGS...

    I received some Pamela's baking mixes from a friend. I looked up some recipes and since I had some remnant chicken in the house, I made this http://www.pamelasproducts.com/cheesy-chicken-crumble/ It was pretty good. not my chicken pot pie, but GOOD! . The hubs is having a second helping as we speak......

    I am a big fan of Applegate Farms because I can't do all the additives. Boar's Head is the hub's fave. I like some of their products but have to watch the MSG-ish stuff.

    500-1000 kids...holycraponacracker! ...are they shipping them in? better stock up, babes! although honestly, in the neighborhood I grew up in in Boston, there were tons of us roaming blocks and blocks and even going home to dump and reload. hmmm...I suddenly want a tootsie roll............
