    ARCHIVED Crps?

    Adalaide replied to Adalaide's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Well it feels like I waited for eternity, but I finally saw the doctor today. He didn't say it isn't CRPS, and seemed to think that the symptoms generally more or less fit, but the problem he has is that I didn't suffer from a severe or traumatic injury. The problem I'm having is that I am at the point where after about 6 months free of pain meds to try to...

    My loving husband who shares everything with me happens to work the the general public. He brings home all sorts of fun things for me. A cold here, a flu there... you know, nothing like a little snot to cement our love I guess. I'm so cool I can spend a week in bed with the flu in the middle of summer. While I don't seem to get back to back things going...

    Glad you liked them! I tried them tonight with a little butter added and they didn't rise as well but the flavor was awesome with the garlic and basil. Great replacement for garlic bread.

    If you're just looking for handy things to have around for all the time, my go to things were Larabar, Kind bars, and Trio bars before I had to go nut free. Larabar has nut bars too which are pretty good. I still keep them around because on the days that we have outings I make my husband stay gluten free for the day but we have to carry snacks for him. ...

    I have given up all what I call non-essential medications over the last six or so months. This has included my allergy medication. I've noticed in that time (during which I have also avoided all CC) that instead of going through a box or so of tissues a week, I am going through about a box a month. This is with the bunny and bale of hay I am both allergic...

    Aren't you old enough to have learned not to do this sort of thing? You just.... don't say things like this, it is practically like hexing yourself. Eat this and feel better. Tonight is easy dinner for me to make but sooooo good. Ham and eggs, and if I'm feeling spunky maybe even some pancakes. Or a German pancake, but that seems silly with eggs....

    It isn't something I think you need to be particularly worried about, especially if you have given it a thorough cleaning. You can even get furniture professionally cleaned. There are also some really great and fashionable furniture covers available. I'm not saying you need to worry about it, but I am saying that sometimes things are about simple piece of...

    After grocery shopping the homemade mac and cheese turned into mac and cheese from a box. At least I have daffodil cake with lemon curd with which to drown my sorrows.

    I'm still kicking myself. Just after my birthday my MIL was going through some stuff and found an old Griswold cast iron dutch oven that had been her father's and offered it to me. I was like zomg, but contained myself and told her that that sort of thing belongs as a family heirloom and since we won't have any kids of our own (even though I have 2 who aren...

    This is a very good point. I never checked to see if my deodorant is gluten free because I don't go around touching or licking my armpits. On the other hand, I do only use gluten free lotions and hair products. Not because I go around licking myself or am paranoid about absorbing it through my skin but because I am quite in the habit of touching my hair,...

    I think this is such a good one. Living forever with the stigma of having been sick for so long. Forever having people who will never believe you. Consequences will linger from the time lost and nothing can ever fix that. But, life can only get better, you are set free and everyone who isn't a moron or hold a grudge for something that isn't your fault will...

    I don't let other people near my cast iron. If this helps, this is what I do and it is freakin awesome. Open Original Shared Link It works like a charm and my cast iron is now just like having a brand new nonstick pan. I am very careful to remember not to cook anything acidic in my cast iron though, as much as it kills me. It is a two day project, your...

    Tonight will be easy. I am dying for some mac and cheese so I think I'll throw some together this afternoon. Besides that I always make enough fried chicken to have some the next night because of how labor intensive it is to make. And cake, there is still plenty of cake. Know the song I want a hippopotamus for Christmas? I've got that stuck in my head now...

    Phil is a dirty rotten liar. I refuse to be friends with that stinkin rodent. I am also still demanding my warm weather and demanding it NOW!

    Well, there wasn't enough angel food cake left for it to make dessert tonight. So, I have a daffodil angel food cake cooling and waiting to come out of the pan now. I just popped a bowl of lemon curd into the fridge. I'll also get a blueberry glaze together in a bit. I'm just taking a few minutes to rest my leg before getting going again while I wait for...

    Quite easily. The stink will cause all the assassin ninjas to make a "phew!" noise as they sneak up on you, giving you the edge. It is surprising what smelling bad can do for you, and you can be sure to live a long and happy life free of assassin ninjas. People who wear deodorant never hear them coming.

    You know, I have asked myself that same question many times. How does a body get burned so badly that you can't identify it but you can read the ID? Something seems fishy in Denmark. I am also quite in the habit of taking the national news with a grain of salt. There was a news story several months ago about a dude in Salt Lake City who was trapped in...

    Managed some real cooking tonight. I've been sort of secretly lamenting the fact that I'll never have Chinese food again since I can't have soy, probably ever again. Then my husband is all, you should find a recipe for lo mien. Not to be deterred I began searching for a soy sauce alternative and kept coming up with all sorts of make your own with beef bouillon...

    I share a kitchen not only with my gluten eating husband who eats with me but with in-laws who are not gluten free and haven't a clue what CC is, how it works or... well they're clueless. I have about 2 dozen dishcloths which I use to clean the counter every time I prepare food. Because I am super paranoid I clean it twice. These cloths then go immediately...

    PIZZA!! Not because it sounded particularly awesome but because I feel particularly lazy. Hubs went and picked up a take and bake from his favorite local shop where they are as cheap or cheaper than a not terrible frozen store pizza. Usually we share a pizza, but I wanted one to myself so I can have leftover all weekend. He can keep his gluteny hands off...

    Don't do it... it is all an evil plot by the cows to make you have hips like theirs. Okay, my heart isn't in it. Have cheesecake! Glad to see you're still with us so far.

    Hopefully at this point everyone is still warm and toasty and safe. I was around for the '78 blizzard but I don't remember it, the whole being a month old thing really fogs the memory. I was too busy being the most obnoxious baby ever for blizzards or snow. I do recall a few truly epic snow and ice storms before I got out out of there. There was a night...

    Not good as chocolate for eating. On the other hand, if you grate a whole disk for a cup of hot chocolate, which I make with milk while the traditional way is in water (YUCK!!!) I like it just fine. I'm also pretty snobby about my chocolate, and it is quite a bit cheaper than I am used to so I didn't have particularly high expectations for it as food. I really...

    At least it is good for something besides annoying me! I'm hoping that Phil has some good news for us tomorrow morning and tells us that this winter crap is done with. I've been inching up on my iodine, thinking that my DH outbreak was mostly due to a CC incident. Well last night my husband told me that popcorn isn't a proper dinner and I finally snapped...

    I have no idea what is for supper. At this point I am thinking a single serve bag of lime & salt popcorn and a huge glass of milk. Yesterday was the third day in a row of getting a half foot of snow off my Jeep, then sitting in an uncomfortable chair for something like 7 hours. I am just too beat for food. I guess the good news is that today we have some...
