    Apparently it has been decided that I'm allowed to use the oven. So I'm baking some chicken tonight. Yay!!! Not frozen meals. Carrots and maybe rice or something with it. Insurance companies and everything about them are designed to just piss people off. I had to spend hours on the phone between my PT and insurance, then spend a weekend waiting for a...

    Rainbow carrots are carrots that aren't orange. They're purple, red, yellow and white. Every color tastes a little different, but they all still taste like carrots. I got a huge bag of them really cheap a while ago and blanched and froze them. Now I have a freezer full of beautiful carrots. I think tomorrow I'll probably start to have time that I'm actually...

    Teva is very good about answering questions. One of the medications I take daily is manufactured by them. Simply give them a call tomorrow and tell them the name and dose of the medication and they will tell you if it is gluten free or not. And no, cornstarch in medication isn't an issue. Just so you know, if they consider it to be gluten free, the best you...

    Awww, I'm so sorry it didn't go well for you. But at least you got awesome bread out of it! I hope it wasn't just awesome because you were drugged. LOL! Feel better soon! I'm sure my MIL who is always worried about appearances is thrilled with this, but I've been getting short walks out front all day yesterday. Today I should be good to walk to the other...

    I know she has her own challenges that make things difficult. I'm sure she is fine too. I just wanted to hear how her cool robot surgery went and hopefully see her pop her head in and just say hi, and that she generally feels like hell, or whatever, because I'm sure we both do, and she can go back to whatever. At least if she reads this she knows we're thinking...

    Has anybody heard from Laura? Laura..... hulloooooooo........???????? I'm home and feeling about as awesome as can be expected. Which is generally like I got my guts ripped out. Hahaha. I was up taking 10 minute walks at the hospital often enough to have made a deal with them to get those stoopid things off my legs. I'm getting my short walks now out...

    Candy is sugary. I guess I'm weird. I don't like sugary sweet chocolate. Just... ewww! Nope, not a pop vs soda thing. I just don't think chocolate is candy. Hey, I was just trying to help you! If I gave up candy, I'd still be eating chocolate. And also, yes, it is essential to life.

    I missed it at first too. I haven't used soap or shampoo in more than a year now. Some people probably think that's creepy and weird, but it's great for me. My skin and hair have never been happier. If you start looking up recipes online for body scrubs you can find ones with essential oils added for fragrance. Or you can just add a few drops yourself to...

    Glad I'm not the only one. I've never paid attention to whether or not I have a direction but I'm curious now. My husband is a huge texture freak. It's a real challenge feeding him sometimes.

    I'm glad that I can amuse someone. I think I'm past the emotional roller coaster of it and can just deal with it head on now. As soon as I can get started I'll be in PT. My gabapentin seems to be helping some, not counting the whacked with a hammer part with my hand and arm. And this hospital stay is a nice break. The narcotics just knock the pain right out...

    You poor thing! I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I hope your new doc finds answers. I have nothing helpful to say atm but just thought I'd let you know you aren't alone. You've got us all on your side. (((((HUGS)))))

    It's almost 6 in the morning. I slept like hell. The morphine makes me itch like hell but the percocet isn't quite enough alone yet so we added benadryl. I've been outta bed a few times and am surprised at how much easier it is to get around than I thought it would be. No issues at all with my CRPS protocol or food. We have a simple ask before you touch...

    Chocolate isn't candy. I saw all these, and also a sour watermelon. My youngest loves all things sour, I think I'll get her a pack. I'll pass. I may get a pack of lemonade ones though, those sounded really good. And as usual I'm sure a few packs of the bubblegum ones will end up in the house.

    We're Diablo people too, and very seriously. We used to be WoW players but gave it up. I've spent half of my day today while I'm supposed to be getting ready playing the new Diablo expansion instead of getting ready. But we beat it, so hah! But I can't eat dead, corrupted angels so I better get back to getting ready. I got 4 little scars from my gallbladder...

    I just use half as much baking soda as coconut oil. Mix with a spoon, this will seem impossible and take like 5 minutes but eventually it will be a lovely paste. I use it on my face and whole body. I was using a salt and olive oil scrub but my husband's hands are a wreck and he was complaining about how the salt hurt his hands when he scrubbed my back. There...

    I'll be good. I have nothing to hurry for. I figure I can be better when I'm better, and until then I'm happy to be a lump with my netflix and my books. Do I have anything you need to borrow so I can get a cake? Um... I mean gratz on the table finally showing up! Did two guys personally carry it from Zimbabwe or something? Sheesh, it took long enough...

    If it was only an intolerance, it shouldn't be an issue at all on your skin. And, I agree that at this point it would be totally fine to test it again and see if you can have it in your diet. Just make sure you are trying something without additives that could be the problem rather than the actual coconut. (Such as some "milks" that are boxed.) Lots of...

    We're going on Thursday. If Laura is anything like me, she's got everything way under control and taken care of. While my church would be happy to organize meals and all that for me, and I'm sure that they would even try to accommodate the gluten free thing (we have a bunch of celiacs), the last thing I can afford while recovering is getting sick from risking...

    I got it! I got it! I did it late late late last night, I was doing a happy dance in my chair. It won't taunt me anymore and I can safely play my new Diablo expansion in peace. But, having it mobile will give me something to do and curse in the hospital Thursday afternoon.

    My favorite oatmeal growing up was always maple and brown sugar. I like to just cook them with maple syrup and brown sugar in the water then drizzle a little maple on top. I also like to dice up part of an apple (and when I say dice, I mean I do it really, really small) and put that, brown sugar and cinnamon in it. If you're adventurous, there are actually...

    Yes. I was shocked. And I also had amazing restraint and didn't eat them all at once.

    I know I promised to be good after I did all those horrible things to my body to get a confirmed diagnosis for my pain. But I was in Wal-Mart last night to do the last of my shopping for my surgery and walked past the Easter candy, because candy, and there were all the Peeps just staring at me. And there were party cake flavored peeps!!! I suddenly had the...

    I've passed this along to my oldest daughter who is the super math nerd. I want her to share my pain. I've managed some high scores, but can't get past a 1024 tile. It taunts me, and I can't help myself... I keep playing. Curse you!

    When I started having this same issue it took me a long time to figure out. It is certain scents used in things for me. I now have to use a dye and scent free detergent and dryer sheets. If it is a problem with scents, it could be anything you use on your entire body. Your laundry soap, dryer sheets, lotion, shower soap, even your shampoo or conditioner because...

    Thanks. I already do a low histamine diet, and it does help some. I needed my symptoms to be obvious and in full flare for dx so I went off it for the appointment. I am back on it now and I'm sure it'll be helping again soon. I'm not against holistic medicine, but it would absolutely have to be something that is covered by my insurance. Getting the dx finally...
