    Happy Birthday!!!!!

    Ha, yes my user name is rather forgettable, lol...not very user friendly, but I've used it so much I hate to change, lol. I've been around here for almost a year now, but don't really post a lot, so people don't get a chance to know me except on a very few threads...I post mostly on the OMG thread these days. Sorry you are feeling overwhelmed, but...

    Darn...sometimes it's just all too difficult isn't it!? I was responding to your long post, but got interrupted by a co-worker and now I see that you've changed it, lol.
  4. dlp252
    Thanks!!! Me too, lol.

    Praying! Just look for me at the Bumble Bar booth if they have one, lol. I actually AM planning to go but will probably get there late. I HAVE to take some stuff to the hazardous waste disposal thingy (old paint, thinners etc.), which is in Sunnyvale this weekend...my appointment is at 8:45, so I figure I'll miss the first speaker definitely and maybe...
  6. dlp252
    Me too! I actually considered not going even though I'm already registered and paid...I think I'll at least go for half the day.

    Prayer said for everyone on this thread! Evie - glad to "see" you again...what a scarey thing to go through!! Andrea - keeping Mitch in prayer this morning. Okay, seems like I was going to specifically respond to someone else, but now I've forgotten, lol. I really need to work on chewing slowly...I have always been a fast eater...I do...

    Sorry to make you cry, lol, but I DO care about everyone here! I am mind-boggled to think about all the mis-diagnosises (is that a word) going on. I can't understand why someone who loves helping people (as in doctors) wouldn't want to really find the problem. When I do my job (and I do it because I need money, not necessarily because I LOVE what I do...

    He says the scratch test is fairly reliable as to what you are NOT allergic too...for instance, one can be fairly certain that a negative is a negative, however he did say that positives are sometimes false positives...so if it came back with lots of reactions, I'd probably have to do dietary testing to figure out what was what. Rinne - wow, sending...

    Rachel - I can't tell if you're excited about the results of your appointment, but I AM, lol! That sounds so promising, and like you say, even if it comes back negative, you can be very confident in that result AND it rules out one more thing, which gets you closer to the REAL thing! Hum, I can't remember when I went camping last, but my sister lives up...

    Hi everyone...I hate not being able to keep current over the weekend, lol. I've ordered a new computer so in a couple of weeks I should be back to my old posting pattern. Wow, lots of good scientificness this weekend! I have ridges on my fingernails...they are vertical and I have a lot of them! I also have the little white marks that look like...
  12. dlp252
    Wow, how weird is it to have the bone grow out! I don't know why my teeth were so bad...I know as a child I HATED dentists, but I remember my mother taking me...somewhere in my younger years I had to have 11 teeth filled all at one time! Yikes. I heard the same thing from my dentist about the fillings being old and needing to be replaced...just in the...
  13. dlp252
    Finally went over to the website you posted (Rachel) and found this: Yikes, no wonder it seems like in the last few years, every time my dentist fills a tooth, I end up having to have it crowned not long afterwards! This kind of makes me mad! OMG, I don't have the radio signal thing, but I definitely have more headaches and ringing...
  14. dlp252
    I'm pretty excited about your appointment too! I can't wait to hear what they have to say, not only because you've been so sick, but also because it seems like it might be pretty pertinent to my situation as well, even though I'm not as sick as you are (I mean that in the nicest way, lol).
  15. dlp252
    Thanks!

    I don't think I am as poisoned as you, but I think I'm getting there. I'm getting tested Monday for food allergies again just to rule out the possibility that I have developed any actual food allergies during the last 3 years. I am fortunate in that one of the allergists in the office I go to has a big interest in alternative medicine--I don't see him normally...
  17. dlp252
    Yah, I think I'm definitely headed that way...I always swallow too...can't help it. My regular dentist does NOT use a dam, but they do suction here and there, but not enough to keep me from swallowing.

    Yep, my gold crowns are all right next to teeth with amalgam fillings. On the left side, I also feel weird things where the crown is on the bottom...in fact there is a really sore spot in the gum (beside the tooth, not under it as is normal). My dentist didn't know what that could be...um, I think I'm getting a clearer picture after your post, lol. I often...
  19. dlp252
    Very cool. A friend wants to go out to dinner tonight...I think I'll suggest Outback!
  20. dlp252
    Holy moly! I have to admit that sometimes I just skim over the scientificness stuff since my over taxed brain can't handle it most days, but I read every word of this post because it is so timely!!!!! I've been in dental h*ll the last few years, lol. I have so many amalgam filings and have 3 gold crowns. Last week I had a root canal and will need another...
  21. dlp252
    Yep, I've got the temp filling. I go back on Thursday for a re-check then I'll have to go to my regular dentist for a crown. I think I'm going to ask for porcelain...I'm really getting concerned about all the metal in my mouth, lol. Anyway, the pain of the cracked tooth on top of the pain of the TMJ was just unbearable. Thankfully, as soon as the root...
  22. dlp252
    Me. I'm registered and everything.
  23. dlp252
    Much better. The pain is gone. I'm taking a lot of Advil still today, but probably won't need to...I just am because it's a choir night and my mouth will be getting lots of use, lol. The endodontist I saw is very good...gave me tips on how to reduce the TMJ pain (they were a lot like what you told me to do)...and didn't feel the root canal at all.
  24. dlp252
    Maybe we can put our weather on a dimmer switch, lol...turn it down for nice cozy times by the fire and turn it up for some fun in the sun. We can add a rain option too for those of us who like a little rain with our cozy.

    I'm back on the diet today....I just couldn't chew anything and I couldn't find anything "meat" that didn't involve chewing, lol. I even went to Whole Foods to get baby food...the only "meat" I could find was chicken with sweet potatoes...everything else had wheat or barley in it. Bought eggs, but just couldn't eat them...the thought of it was making me...
