    Liz, Congratulations to your daughter! You must be so proud. You are right -- it is SO refreshing to see good kids recognized on television!!! Tell her "WAY TO GO!!!!!!"

    Ah, wasn't bad, just uncomfortable. Couldn't figure out why I felt so weird. Then to be given Prozac for it???? It wasn't until my first Women's Health continuing education course (you'd know that each one is a WEEK long instead of a weekend) that I found out what was wrong with me. I am the type person who had a pap every 18 months, just so I didn...

    That is scary in more ways to mention . . . . . . . I am 45. I listen to SOME rap music, not a lot. I got a tattoo with my son on the day he turned 18. I listen to music at a higher volume than my kids do. I DON'T wear socks with sandals, and I don't wear pantyhose with open-toed shoes. I also detest VPL's. I had my belly-button pierced when my...

    I'm not a teenager -- I'm a mom -- 45 yrs. old. I am also celiac. I just wanted you to know that it's not just young people who are like that. People my age and older are just as bad. Even family members took FOREVER to realize that I wasn't going to eat at their houses unless I had gluten-free food to eat. I offered to bring my own, and they would get...

    PM JenVan -- she can tell you some excellent restaurants in NYC. She went there with her mother -- and she had a GREAT gluten-free time!

    Hey -- my OB/GYN gave me Prozac when I told him that I felt like I was sitting on golf balls!!! Come to find out, I had my bladder and my rectum both distended and pushing into the vaginal walls, and my uterus had dropped to the point that it was coming out (literally). No wonder the Prozac didn't make me feel better!!!!!!!

    Jerry -- Those pictures are outstanding! Seriously. The nature pics are breathtaking -- and the manner in which you staged them are obviously done meticulously and with thought. (A very "artsy" talent!) The portraits also are pretty incredible. You captured emotions vs. pictures. You can almost tell what the kids are telling you in the pictures...

    Donna -- what were the values that were considered Within Normal Limits for the Westergren Sedimentation Rate? The fifteen caught my eye. I'm a "neurological celiac". The only damage which has been done is to my cerebellum. All my antibodies were normal with the exception of the antigliadin antibodies, which were high. Those are what were damaging...

    Hi Cathy -- welcome to the board. Hashimoto's is a very common co-morbid condition with Celiac. I started with a goiter when I was 13. I always had normal TSH, T3, T4 levels, but no one ever checked my antibodies. I had to change endocrinologists, and the new guy told me that you didn't have to take synthroid to control the size of a goiter. I ended...

    Ann, you are bust-a-gut funny! First, the fact that you started this thread -- which proves that you are the type of physician EVERYONE wants. Second, the reasons are great! I have one: When the neurologist says, "Well, everything I've read indicates that your antigliadin levels will ALWAYS be elevated, and there is no reason to further check them...

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear with regard to "stripping" the nipple. I can see where it would sound painful. Typically, infants use the top of their mouth to "anchor" and use the tongue and bottom jaw to not only suck, but also to put some "force" on the bottom of the nipple. When they move their lower jaw backward, that's called "stripping" the nipple. It...

    tcat -- Welcome!!! Band Teachers ROCK!! (Can you tell I'm the mom of two musical kids?!!) You guys have a hard job -- not to mention the fact that, if you teach band to younger kids, you a) have the patience of a saint and have a high pain-tolerance! Those squeaks and squawks were worth it now, when I listen, but back in the early days . . . . like fingernails...

    Can you ask for your money back?????

    They get used to it . . . . . Dave said, "Let me guess . . . you've gotten back to posting on the forum."

    Point well-taken, wise guy!!! And the mullet lives on -- on the head of some VERY lucky child. Vincent, that was a great thing.

    Ami -- what type of software do you develop? I am always amazed by people who have the ability to do what you do. Again, I think it is a combination of art and science. If it isn't intrusive, I would love to know more about what you do . . . . . . .

    Pauliina -- You are amazing!! What talent!! And, might I say, a VERY talented husband, as well. I think the idea of studying the AT then teaching is fantastic. You would not believe the kids I saw with repetitive strain injuries simply because no one taught them the correct way to hold their bodies, their instruments or even addressed strengthening in...

    Lest we forget Ms. Cuisinart, I have help!!!!!!!!!

    You're in Virginia now??? I have an in-law in Virginia -- she is my Aunt Helen, or as everyone in Dave's family calls her, Aunt Hellion!!! She is FANTASTIC!! Where in Virginia? So interested . . . . . .

    Okay, hate to say it, but I think you guys have some REALLY over-zealous fans! The "pit-crew"???!!!! And going to dye their underarm hair red??? For some reason, the men's weirdness is more understand-able to me because I used to have a husband like that. A long time ago, in a land far, far away . . . . . . . . .

    Vincent -- hasn't it been my calling (and my reputation) to "stir things up" on this board???!!!!!

    Hmmmmmmmph

    I can imagine that you would have wanted your husband there. I can't imagine seeing your baby like that. Who knew that, all those years ago when they invented ultrasound machines, that they would be able to image babies with so much detail and clarity. I can imagine that you had tears the whole time. Like I said, I cried after reading your post. Thank...

    WHAT????!!!!! You have GOT to be kidding me.
