    Hey Beverly -- I had my belly button pierced with Ashley when she was 16. It was back when I was wearing a size 7 (I'm 6'1"). After having a 9lb 13 oz, then a 9lb 6oz baby, it was like piercing a doggoned shar-pei!!!!! I told the girl to pick a wrinkle! Unfortunately, she picked up SEVERAL, and I couldn't find a belly ring to fit it (and it got infected...

    I miss Krispy Kreme doughnuts . . . at night, when they're hot, right off the conveyor belt. Mmmm....... I also REALLY miss my mom's homemade apple pie. She makes the best pie crust I've ever tasted. Nothing compares. And potstickers. They're REALLY good!

    Hey -- I live in Louisville, KY AND the Eddie Bauer outlet (the real one, not like the ones in the outlet malls!) is there, isn't it?????? MY DH wants to take a visit there, so perhaps he would enjoy hearing much, much more about this disease which has us eating strangely

    Contact Canadian Karen. They have this white cake mix up there that is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! Already used it, so I don't know what the name of it is!!

    Nightblindness can be caused by antigliadin antibodies destroying the perkinje cells in the retinas of your eyes. You can also develop colorblindness by this happening, as well. Ask my retinal opthmalogist! Who knew???????

    Jess, I am so sorry about your puppy. That had to be so hard. I am also so sorry about what is going on at work. What type of therapist are you? In what environment do you work? Quite frankly, I'm in healthcare and I'm a germ-a-phobe! I was ALWAYS cleaning doorknobs, phones, light switches, keyboards . . . and on and on . . . . I don't want anyone...

    Beverly -- that is NOT FAIR!!!!! You guys . . . . Jen will e-mail me the pictures, I WILL post one of them as my avatar. I am ALSO trying to get pics from Ashley's wedding from the friend of hers . . . . that way, you can actually see me with real make-up, my hair done (although it was VERY foo-foo -- and PUFFY) and dressed nicely! Don't know what...

    You're welcome -- good luck, and I hope you're feeling better. Hugs, Lynne

    Susie -- how are you?????? Lynnie Before being diagnosed, we had all that deep-fried garbage at our State Fair. Deep fried snickers bars, twinkies, etc. Never tried them, because it just sounded WRONG!!!!! Also thought that it had to be a Kentucky redneck thing . . . . !!!!! Didn't know that it would be anywhere else . . . We have a restaurant...

    Nancy -- you are so funny!!!!!

    I haven't had the procedure, but had to read . . . . Chelsea -- you crack me up!!!!

    My neurologist blames a really BAD endocrinologist that I changed to (insurance) who took me off the synthroid, and I developed full-blown Hashimoto's. He thinks that the gluten intolerance was a "watershed" effect of autoimmune diseases that I developed. Another doctor thinks that it was Coxsackie (sp?) virus that I caught from one of the kids I was treating...

    You guys are sneaky . . . . Jen -- et tu, Brute??????? Okay, okay . . . . I'll put my picture up! This one will be temporary until I can find a decent one, though! Oh, the presha!!

    Good point . . . . forgot to mention the inserts. If you do have a high arch, particularly if it collapses, you'll need an insert such as a Spenco Cross Training insert or Power Steps. There is one out there . . . can't think of it's name, but it's black and says it's mold-able to your foot --- it's expensive, flattens out in no time and is NOT worth the...

    I think I understand how you're feeling . . . at times it does get overwhelming. It is hard not to be defined by this disease when it encompasses so much of your world. While several different diseases force you to watch your diet rigorously, I don't know of any that requires such investigation into what is or is not safe to eat. It gets frustrating and...

    I agree with everything posted! Keeping toenails trimmed is actually pretty important for serious runners. But, MORE IMPORTANTLY -- go to a shoe store that specializes in fitting people for running shoes. It sounds like you have what's commonly referred to (at least here) as "runner's toe" . . . it's from ill-fitting shoes. We have two shoe stores here...

    Hey Hi-Tech -- It feels kind of funny to say "I'm so happy that you have gallstones"!!!!! I am SO glad that you got that ultrasound done . . . I'm tellin' ya . . . I can't begin to count the pregnant women I treated that their gallbladder trouble inevitably kicked in during their pregnancy. Sounds bizarre, but it happens. Have they talked to you...

    That is AWESOME!!!! Can't wait to send it out -- my friends are going to bust-a-gut. Then send an e-mail to me chewing my *ss out for getting them!
  19. tiredofdoctors
    Lisa, you are Baaaaaaaad! Yes, I have shown my *ss! Will have to consider showing my face . . . .
  20. tiredofdoctors
    That is bust-a-gut funny!!!!!

    Check with Broncobux on this one . . . he can explain it MUCH better than I can . . . but he will tell you that MOST bleu cheese made now is safe . . . as I said, in a MUCH better way that I could possibly do it!

    I definitely think this is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hmmm.... certainly garnered some press, but should garner much more... I wonder if anyone else with restricted diets was turned away or forced to discard their food? Could get interesting. Anyone know media persons in the area? Attornies? (not that I'm a huge fan of litigation...

    Have suffered from boils, as well -- since my teens. No miracle cures for me, either.

    Hi Eileen . . . . welcome to the forum. . . . I would just like to say that, if you are finding that you're making improvement, please make sure that you stay gluten free. It's really important for your neurological health. I'm so glad that you're getting better, and I wish you the BEST of luck. Congratulations, too, on the birth of your baby!! xoxoxo...

    My mother first took me to a naturopathic doctor when I was six weeks old and had a sinus infection -- and I kept it for six weeks. He kept telling her to do saline rinses of my nasal passages and it would go away. Finally, my grandmother convinced her to bring me into Louisville to our family doctor -- who diagnosed me with every type of infection available...
