I have just been reading some old posts and discovered a thread about anxiety. What a relief! Not that I would wish it on anyone, but anxiety is one of my worst symptoms and I'm pleased to know I'm not alone. The very worst thing for me is the feeling of not being part of the real world. Like I am locked in myself and can't find the key to get out. It makes...

ARCHIVED Need To Talk
Dozey replied to Dozey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Not with this new doctor I haven't, but with previous doctors. Since suffering severe side effects from anti ds in the past I am very reluctant to take anything in that line now. I was given diazepam for nerves but all that does is knock me out and then I feel worse when I wake up with very bad DP. I seem to react badly to drugs and alcohol which also puts... -

ARCHIVED Can It Happen This Quick?
Dozey posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This morning I had Rice Crispies for breakfast with milk, and within about half an hour I was feeling fuzzy, and light headed, my eyesight was blurred and I felt quite nauseous. I thought Rice Crispies were gluten free but admit to not checking the box, but could the effect really come on so soon after eating them? Or could milk cause such a quick reaction... -

Thank you. I don't feel I am suffering from depression as such, and I resist drugs of all kinds. I was on anti ds a few years ago and never again if I can help it. I feel they are not the answer for me long term. I am hoping for some answers on Fiday with the blood results. Jo -

Hi, I am awaiting blood results and don't have an endoscopy planned. I was supposed to have one in November, but the consultant agreed that in my present state of anxiety/ agoraphobia it wouldn't be a good idea. It is an ordeal for me just getting two miles to see the doctor, so twenty three miles to have an endoscopy is out just now. Thank you for replying... -

Thank you. Some days I don't feel so bad and others terrible. I am doing the same as you did, short walks and rides in the car. My dog is so loyal, she stays with me nearly all the time, and when she goes out with my husband the cat comes and gets on my knee. It's almost as though they know. Jo -

ARCHIVED Am I Gluten Intolerant?
Dozey replied to AlyMay930's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, just saying hello. Sorry can't help much as I am new to all this too. Apart from headaches I have all those symptoms and am awaiting test results for Celiac and vit D deficiency. The symptoms are also the same as vit B12 def, which I also have. I am sure someone more knowledgable will be along to help soon. Jo -
Hope no one minds me having a ramble, just feel the need to talk to someone. I tell myself a dozen times a day that I'm not dying and not going mad, it just feels like I am. I feel like I'm stuck in neutral and can't get into gear. I'm tired, weak, lethargic, fearful and just feel ill generally. I have DP on and off and my life seems so different to what...

ARCHIVED Scalp Problems?
Dozey replied to Dozey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, no I haven't, never thought about that. I read that gluten can't be absorbed through your skin because the molecules are too large, or something like that. But I suppose it could affect your skin like an allergy. Thank you. Jo -

Thank you Helen. I have been in a bit of a black cloud, but it has lifted since joining. It's a relief to be able to say how I feel without feeling I am burdoning anyone, because you all know how it feels. Jo -

Sorry for another question, but does anyone have a problem with sore spots on the scalp? My hair is looking such a mess and I want to put a colour on it but I have sore spots keep coming. As soon as one lots goes another one or two appear. Could this be related to Celiac too? Thank you Jo

ARCHIVED Could This Be Celiac - Long List Of Symptoms - Please Help
Dozey replied to marco's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Marco. i can't offer any advise about Celiac as I am new to it myself, but a lot of your symptoms match B12 deficiency. Have you been tested? It is easily overlooked and mis diagnosed. Hope you get some help soon. Jo -

Dozey replied to Dozey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well I do have b12 deficiency so I suppose there could be others. I am waiting results for vit D def now. I don't know what other things, apart from celiac, were asked for, but the nurse that took the blood said the doctor had ordered a few tests. Have to wait till Friday to find out. I have been so frightened by all the strange things I have been feeling... -
