  1. Mine seems worse at night too...or at least later in the day. They itched today in the shower and a bit after I got to work, but haven't really had any other problems so far today...same thing happened yesterday, but by the time I went to bed, the scratching was bad. Wasn't it you that had the rash on your face a few weeks/months ago? Did you have...
  2. I live in the San Jose area, but alas, I don't cook, lol. If it can't all fit in one frying pan, I don't eat it.
  3. Yah, I've only heard of the one other person (besides you now) that had it and I didn't know her personally.
  4. Actually, I HAVE considered an acupuncturist...I do have the name of someone who is supposed to be good. Maybe I should pull it out (if I can find it--my house is a bit messy...it's the black hole of condos, lol, things go in never to be seen again).
  5. I had both done at the same time in April. I don't remember a thing except having the IV put in and getting wheeled into the room. Afterwards they wheeled me into a recovery room, where my mom was waiting. Don't remember too much about that...apparently I was there for 30 minutes...appearing to be awake and talking to my mom and the nurse, but don't remember...
  6. I never eat out anymore so not really much to say there, but wanted to say hi to all the Northern California folk! {{{{Waiving}}}}
  7. Okay, I get itchy when I exercise, but usually only intense exercise which I don't do often any more. All of the foods they mentioned are foods I have been eating a LOT of. Today the darned legs itched in the shower...maybe the water temp was too high... The only thing that keeps stumping me is that I don't get the itchyness everywhere...just on...
  8. Hum....my mother was telling me about someone she worked with who had the same thing on her legs only...she'd go soak her legs in the swimming pool...I was thinking it was the chlorine, but I bet it was the coolness...maybe I'll try cool shower.
  9. If I had had two packages I might have eaten them, lol. At the whole darned package in a day and a half. I was thinking (this morning as I was eating my LAST ONE) that I'd by two packages on Saturday...now I'm thinking I shouldn't, lol. Off to go research...
  10. Yep, definitely worse when it's hot...if sun directly hits my legs, it's almost unbearable. But it also happens in winter, so the heat isn't the only thing going on...maybe they're so much more itchy now because it's been so hot this summer.
  11. Thanks...that may be what I'm having...they're not super red though, just slightly "pink".
  12. Parachute in any time you'd like, lol. I'm still working on clearing the reflux...I usually don't have heartburn, but my esophagus was damaged on my first endoscope, and actually several years ago when another doctor (allergic) looked down my throat (that wasn't fun, lol), so I know there is reflux. Up until recently I never had any burning...so this is...
  13. Okay, this makes sense to me...the two times in the last 4 years that I felt the best was when I was doing the lower carb anti-candida/anti-yeast diet. I KNOW I eat too many carbs now, I can always feel it when I eat too many, and I've been feeling it a lot lately. I've been Rachelling my corn tortillas!
  14. Cool on the cake, great pictures.
  15. What about bat poop? What happens to all those eaten mosquitos while those bats are skimming you? Having said that, I think I'd like to see those swarming bats...but if I ever go there I will go in rain attire, lol.
  16. Very helpful! I was trying to control it with diet first, but doc wanted me to take PrilosecOTC...I did for a week or two but it caused such bad abdominal pains that he had me switch to Zantac instead. That seemed to work without the pain...now that my endoscope is done I want to get off again, but since I took them everyday for 3 months wanted to get off...
  17. I took Prevacid years ago, but not for very long...don't think I even finished the first prescription fill. I also don't think I took it every day. I'm not sure exactly where I heard that, but I think it was in one of the books I purchased recently on inflamation or on reflux.
  18. Love the new changes. Cool! Since I'm in the running for alternate town bumb, easy is good. Egads! You're almost done!!!! Remarkable restraint...perhaps you can teach classes in RESTRAINT.
  19. I wonder if one can have hives without the spots...aren't hives red spots? I don't get the red spots until AFTER I've scratched the heck out of myself.
  20. I've read some bad things about them too...in fact I bought a couple of books on reflux and they said the same thing...I've also heard a lot of people have problems when they quit taking the meds, which is why I'm trying to get off slowly. I'm taking 1 pill (Zantac75), once per day (instead of 2 times)...and plan to go every other day soon (or maybe half...
  21. Be careful...that's how I got sucked in, lol...just went to check out a bead store and came out with all kinds of stuff including some of the strechy nylon "wire" that only requires a knot to close...that's how I made nearly 60...only requires beads and the "wire". I'm going to take a beading class in a couple of weeks to learn how to do the fancy...
  22. Cool, we can have a little jewelry shop, so that we don't ALWAYS have to go over the hill to the glutenized mall for our shopping fix!
  23. I think I'll make an appointment with the HN doctors since they are now familiar with the test, lol. And, since I didn't get any help from the dermatologist maybe they can help figure out what's causing the itching...it definitely seems like a reaction to something. I first have to find all my paperwork from the physical I had in February so they can see...
  24. Clearly I have the "Rachel" thing going on, even in hobbies.... Stop me folks, I'm on a roll today. HR person is gone, I bought more beads, no chocolate in a week and no diet coke in two days! Did I mention I just STARTED two weeks ago. Yes, I like delisious...bumble bars are so delisious!
  25. Has to be quick to fulfull Rachel's ice cream frenzies, lol.
