    I have an excalibur - not sure if it's a 2400, but it's a 4-tray. I love it. Works great, not too loud, fairly even drying.

    He may not have been admonishing you for going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but rather pointing out that it is abnormal to need to need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night while you sleep. (Because that's true.) I suspect that there was a significant communication issue between the two of you, because sleep problems *can* cause...

    has he been allergy tested as well? if it's seasonal with winter, my first guess here is allergy-aggrivated asthma. (RAD - restrictive airway disease - is ideopathic, without a diagnosis of an underlying cause. asthma is one potential underlying cause, but asthma tests are generally unreliable in very young children.)

    how are you carrying the shopping bags? any shoulder injuries, tightness, etc? the bulk of the nerves that run into the hand pass into a very small space in the shoulder, at the tip of the collarbone under the humoral head, so it is not difficult at all to pinch the nerve bundle there.

    while you can do it without a real estate agent, based on my experience buying one, I probably wouldn't. there are a number of legal regulations to meet, and blowing one of them is a bid deal. additionally, you can get a lot more when you have a professional to negotiate for you. it's easy to become emotionally invested in the house, and that makes it...

    You can show that something is not causative without knowing what *is* causative. Not saying whether or not that's the case here, just saying it's possible.

    You need to see your doctor! Please do not hold off any longer.

    Celiac masquerades as many things, and it's not that common, in the general population. It affects approximately 1% of the population, so when a random person goes in to a doctor, there's a 99% chance that person does not have it. Even with classic symptoms (which yours are definitely not classic, though they are celiac symptoms), your odds are approximately...

    having it *really* cold before mixing will help - 32F would be great (just before it freezes), if it's doable. if you can get yourself an icecream maker, that will help as well. eventually, it will freeze if your freezer is set cold enough, but it may take half a day or a full day.

    ooo! thanks! I'm apparently a little slow this morning.

    You're right - I'm definitely making the assumption that it's not a wheat allergy. And I generally make the assumption that even the gluten intolerant should be completely gluten free. Why? Because our testing for celiac disease is far from perfect. So absolutely ruling it out is never guaranteed. I'd rather err on the side of caution and not go from...

    My house, my rules. I'm nice about saying it, but that's how it goes. It's worked fine for my in-laws, who eat plenty of wheaty stuff.

    ARCHIVED I Hate Kaiser!

    tarnalberry replied to flxmanning's topic in Doctors

    while I probably would avoid the public website of names of crappy doctors (liability over libel, I think, but I'm no lawyer), I would certainly call the facility where that NP worked and file a report against her. possibly for harassment, or maybe just really bad service. don't let her get away with her awful behavior.

    for something to "freeze" it has to become crystalline. fats don't easily do that. water does. the higher the fat content, the harder it's going to be to freeze it solidly. the more dispersed that fat is in the water (emulsified), the harder it's going to be to freeze solidly. air can do the same thing. if you can suspend air in the mixture while it...

    So, how many people here actually read the PI for a drug they take before they take it? (Yes, this is a leading question, and I'll be back to follow up!)

    it's like a regular light switch, not a dimmer switch. either you've turned the light switch on, and there's electricity flowing to the light bulb, so it's producing light (in this analogy, you've ingested gluten, and your immune system has something to react to, which means it will also attack your own body), or you've turned the light switch off, and there...

    (EDIT: doesn't apply to this thread, as the below is US, not Canadian, and I was a US-centric dork for not paying more attention earlier (which you'd think I wouldn't be, living all of three hours from Canada, but no... /facepalm ). but I'll leave here for other reference use.) you can only deduct the extra expenses of the cost of gluten free foods...

    I think what you did was perfect!

    with these symptoms, PLEASE go to the doctor, local clinic, ER. blood in the stool, in addition to a lump in the area you describe is NOT a good sign. don't wait another few days to hear about the insurance issue, PLEASE BE SEEN!

    I've had four different doctors test me for it, without asking, with the symptoms of fatigue and joint/muscle pains. (Gyn, two different GPs, and my rheumatologist.) Maybe it's because I'm young(ish), maybe it's because I've lived in the PacNorthwest for the past three and a half years. But it's never been an issue.

    A rushed trip to the emergency room and days in the hospital is going to be far more expensive than a trip to a sliding-scale fee clinic now, or even your old doctor. That sounds like absolutely nothing to mess with, and I would indeed say "go to the doctor", and not dilly-dally about it.

    it's tough, because what you really need is permission from each of the recipe owners to do this. scott can't grant rights to use the recipes for a cookbook if they're not his own original recipes.

    But you can have fibromyalgia and have perfectly good vit-D levels. Mine are great, and I still supplement with normal doses, since I'm in Washington, and I have fibro. (In fact, vitamin levels, particularly iron and D, should be checked before a fibro diagnosis. I think the problem with fibro isn't "we don't know what's wrong with you" (even though...

    Honestly, I think some doctors get a bad rap for being service providers for what their clients want. That's kinda the problem in medicine, you might know what they need, but if the patient isn't going to follow through, you're going to offer them something that's not as good, but is better than nothing. Patients don't want to hear "oh, your back pain?...
