  1. But guess what, you know my GI, whom I love? Well no of course you don't know him :lol: but, I told him that he could refer any bewildered new Celiacs to me, and the second one called today. She is so nice, and so confused, and we are meeting for coffee on Monday, and I think she is more excited than I am. :)

    How very "cool"! :lol:

    xoxo

    Wow, great on the poundages, but sorry you are having some issues!

    Will keep miamia in my prayers.

    Donna,

    I had no idea--I'm so sorry.

    Thanks...that was a bad year. My grandmother and two other aunts also died. Horrendous!

  2. By the way....nobody wants to be a guest at my house....there is NOTHING ironed.....and any bedside flowers would likely be fake cuz I'm just not quite as domestic as some of you. :ph34r:

    Rinne...I watch my mom ironing every single night....I dont get it...to this day I dont understand why people iron?? :huh:

    I must be missing something because I just dont equate ironing with pleasure. :rolleyes:

    Yep, you and me both! :lol::ph34r:

    To be robbed of someone without the chance to say goodby would be hard indeed. My husband lost a co-worker in a hit and run earlier this year (he was 35). He left behind a daughter (I think she's around 9) and a son who was about 2-3. It's hard on the spouses, must be terribly hard on children.

    Yes, my father, aunt and uncle were killed in a car crash 10 years ago, and it's still hard for me to deal with sometimes...so many things unsaid and unspoken that I wish I'd had the chance to say.

    I will need 24-hour care from many humans if something happens to a dingo. :unsure:

    I couldn't leave my couch for three days after my Coco died. :(

  3. That's interesting. My doctor (holistic) said I started to heal when I broke ties with my mom and step-father and she couldn't believe I told them WHY ... she said that is when I started to heal. I actually took control of my life a little before that .... that was more a result of my taking control of it. I think there is a lot of mental to all this, yet at the same time, the mental part is only so much, part is physical. We're integrated as people ... everything plays a role.

    Wow, so true!

  4. thanks for the sympathy cry. it would be FUN to cry together! :blink:

    Yes, I think it might! :)

    No kidding, no matter how heartbroken I have always clung to the certainty that any man who would reject me is a fool I would not waste my time on anyways. Susan, I highly advise this strategy. :) And besides, in your case we all know it is true.

    Exactly! :P

    and I iron pillow cases too

    No wonder no one wants to stay at my house! :lol::lol:

    Rhonda, you could just send that lady and email back that says, "I guess I'm just not serious about getting well because I have no interest whatsoever in your product. Please refrain from future sales pitches to me."

    :lol:

    For those of you who don't iron, you just don't know what you're missing.

    I'm speechless on this one, lol. :P:lol:

  5. Okay I don't know what to do w/ myself today. sorry for all the whining....only you guys can understand. nothing feels right today, so I am moping in my fleecy sweats. Bloody hell. Wish you guys were here, and we could laugh and cry together, I would be the pitiful one today, but you all would understand and allow me to curl up in fetal position and cry, while you chatted amongst yourselves, and you would occasionally try to make me laugh and feed me gluten-free treats.

    One can dream....... :)

    I can cry along...I am a very sympathetic cryer--I sympathy cry, lol. I cry at commercials sometimes.

    and GUESS what else. :angry::angry::angry: the cutie from Sat. night has never called me. I find this one of the most perplexing Laws of the Universe, the guy who is SO smitten, talks about everything you're going to do together....."we are SO going fly-fishing" "I can't wait to go hiking with you and your dogs" "where can you eat safely? I'd LOVE to take you to dinner" "WHAT?? you want a cabin more than anything? OMG, please say that again....I can't believe it..." "you are SO beautifuyl, you could get ANY guy you wanted in here" (I let him think that - SO not true)....."I never have conversations like this with women my age or younger!" PSHAW on him! No, Rinne, I would NEVER call him. Besides, don't have last name or number. and he is NOT worthy. :angry: Unless he's in a coma there is no excuse.

    so wha'ts WITH all this crap? All of that and then they never call? HARUMPH. :angry: I am NEVER talking to a male again and NEVER going back to that pub.

    Bah humbug on deadbeat flirtatious guys who are obviously not very smart!

  6. Fiddle Faddle, you bring up a good point.

    I don't use anything around my eyes, no creams and no mascara.

    Okay eye issue list: Rachel, Carla, Donna and ....? Do you use cream around your eyes that could be causing this?

    Nope...never use creams around my eyes, and a step further, I don't even put cream on my hands anymore because I rub my eyes so much. When I get that goopy feeling it DOES feel like there's film of some kind or goop in there, then my eyes will water and water like crazy to get the "film" or "goop" out. I can't remember if I've ever looked in the mirror when this happens though, but I've always thought there wasn't really anything there...I'll have to look next time. It kind of hurts a little bit in the sense that I almost can't keep my eyes open...it feels like I should keep them shut so that the eyes will water and flush out whatever it is. If I used the eyedrops the doctor suggested, it seems to lessen the frequency of it happening.

    I've heard that a lot of people also have itchy ears, like from the inside of the ear. I don't have that, anyone?

    YES!!!!!! OMGosh!!!! I also get a lot of floaters in my eyes.

    Thanks Beverly, you summed it up well, hugs received gratefully. :)

    You've got mine too then!!! Hugs!! And, re the email...it may just be that this lady really believes she's been helped by something...kind of like us, lol...still I'm always leary about people calling me with stuff like this. At least she's asking permission, but granting permission just might open the door. I had someone call the other day that I haven't spoken to in years...then all of a sudden they call...chit chatted for a while, then it turned out he wanted me to do something for him...sit in on a sales pitch thing. I just said no. :P

  7. His name is Bruce Hoffman, he can be found at Open Original Shared Link

    Okay, it's a different Hoffman...although, after I posted I searched again and read some of this other guy's website and did find Lyme mentioned, but still didn't think it was the same person--his name was Ronald I think.

    I think that only seeing things far away is just what happens over 40 :blink: I have that, too, but it's not what I was talking about.

    :P A girl can hope can't she, lol.

    haven't had nuggets since halloween......hey, that's a week!

    Quite impressive!!!!! Yay! :P

  8. :lol: Donna

    A word on sugar, it feeds all the beasties. Pathogens of all sorts, bacterias, viruses, yeasts, molds, fungi, parasites, even cancers. One of my naturopaths had always told me when you eat sugar you are feeding them, and then after they have had a meal on you they deposit their metabolic byproducts in our system, which is pretty toxic stuff.

    Well that's enough to make me put that extra apple down, lol. :lol: I'm on day 10 with NO sugar...but, I have been eating some fruit at each meal. I may have to cut that down too just for a while. The last thing I need is feeding a bunch of hungry bugs during the amalgam removal.

    Oh, and on the Pectasol...I was spelling it wrong, lol...it's PectAsol....no wonder when I searched for pectosol, I got a bunch of Russian looking websites, lol. This stuff is HUGELY expensive, so I've been trying to find a less expensive online version, but looks like HN gave me a pretty good price.

    Rinne, what is Dr. Hoffman's first name...I came across a Dr. Hoffman's website during the search on pectasol, but didn't seem Lyme mentioned anywhere so don't think it's the same guy.

    Oh and I have strange things happening with my eyes too! Very blurry to the point where I can't read anything without reading glasses and sometimes can't focus up close, like for beading and things...so need them there too. I also get the feeling sometimes that there is "gunk" in my eyes, but there isn't really anything there--it doesn't burn or anything just feels like there's something there and my eyes water and water until tears come down. I also sometimes get a sharp severe pain in one spot in one eye. It's not a general pain, but very localized to a small spot.

  9. Interesting thoughts Carla. I don't know if I was salt deficient because I was a big salt eater, I craved salt and ate as much as I wanted but it was sea salt and I am wondering if I was deficient in minerals. The Himalayan salt is loaded with minerals as is the REAL SALT (brand name). I suspect that everyone is deficient in minerals because conventional farm fields are depleted of minerals and the artifical fertilizers don't provide them. Also, without minerals you cannot process vitamins.

    DITTO!! I too am a HUGE salt eater--salt everything, and do crave it sometimes, but up until a year or two ago it was regular table salt like Morton's. Now, I'm using Celtic Sea Salt (brand name) at work, and regular sea salt from Whole Foods at home...hum, wonder if the regular sea salt has minerals. The Celtic Sea Salt does say it has "Vital Minerals and Exquisite Taste", lol.

  10. I don't know the answers either as I haven't yet been tested for Lyme.

    I, like Carla have developed TMJ although mine isn't as advanced as hers is, shoulder and neck pain on the left side, pain in my right knee and hip...don't have thumb pain, but have pain in my right big toe and in my right wrist.

    They just called to cancel my dental appointment! Doc got called away on an emergency. That means I have to wait until next week! Good and bad, lol. :lol:

  11. Donna,

    When we had testing done they referred to subtype 7 as gluten sensitive.

    So what is the difference between the dq and the subtype. Is subtype important aside from subtype 8? Isn't that the same as dq8?

    HA, this is what I never understood. I just took a brief look at my Enterolab report, and couldn't really find specifically about the 7...but for some reason I was thinking it was gluten sensitive. Not long after I was first diagnosed, some nice person on this board interpreted the subtypes for me...that's why I had to put it in my signature so I wouldn't forget, lol.

  12. does this mean that if the ld is treated, the potential for developing ra is diminsished? Is it that ra is the outcome of untreated ld?

    also, where is this full post? Is it from a cited article I can bring my dr? Please give me a link.

    It must have come from this one:

    Open Original Shared Link

    And the Igenex link:

    Open Original Shared Link

  13. x!

    Congratulations auntie!!! :D Glad you haven't had too bad a time yet with your challenge! About the filling...yep, I agree with Andrea...hope you didn't swallow it and it probably definitely needs to be replaced. I might be too old...I had to have all my original amalgams refilled about 6-10 years ago cuz they were all really old. One of the reasons why I'm so certain I have a mercury problem. <_<

  14. Thank girls, lol. Last time he only gave me one numbing shot, but darned if the whole side of my face wasn't numb for HOURS afterwards...couldn't eat well, and well, brushing my teeth was an experience because I couldn't feel my mouth. This time he will mostly likely have to give me a shot both in the back and the front cuz the little tiny filling is in the front tooth. Ouch!! Bet the front one will hurt, lol.

  15. Keep us posted on how your doing with the removal please. Don't you have another appointment today?

    ...

    I'm ready for you to see the bioset lady now. :) I know, everything costs money. We are more than out of it too.

    Yep, today. Today they are putting the permanent crown on one of the ones they worked on a couple of weeks ago, plus replacing two amalgam fillings with composite and removing amalgam from and preparing a third tooth for a crown. :blink: Fortunately one of the fillings is just a tiny little thing...BUT it's in one of my front upper teeth...the other two teeth are molars....the way things have gone for me lately that means my entire head will probably be numb afterwards. :lol::lol::huh::blink:

  16. Has anyone read this article When to suspect Lyme Disease by Dr. Bleiweiss:

    Open Original Shared Link

    and the story of Dr. Bleiweiss:

    Open Original Shared Link

    It's pretty interesting. I'd be curious to know what you LLBM (Lyme Literate Board members- no not Lyme Literate Bowel Movements :ph34r: ) think.

    Wow, just reading some of that article and THIS really struck a chord with me:

    Patients most frequently report fatigue that varies from mild to debilitating. Usually there is a loss of interest and initiative so that lounging around becomes habitual. This derives not from laziness, but results from lassitude. Attempts to indulge avocational or vocational pursuits is frequently interdicted by either the languor of Lyme or by encephalopathy. There is a tendency to nap, sleep that is not rejuvenating, and hypersomnolence at inopportune moments; e.g., in the classroom or during a favorite pastime. Sleeping away entire days is not unknown. Paradoxically, at usual bedtimes, patients often experience insomnia or frequent awakenings. Sleep does not always provide respite as ferocious or vivid nightmares can occur. Childhood night terrors can be due to LD or more mundane causes

    Describes me pretty well...expecially the frequent waking thing. In fact a lot of the articles sounds familiar to me. :(
