    Uggg, another sleepless night...or rather, slept okay until 2:00 then NOT, lol. Yes, it must be, lol. They asked about binders. Heck, if I have any body parts left after surgery I'd come, lol! Hum, I guess I need to get some antihistamine...dumped my whole bottle on the floor of the airplane on my last trip to Las Vegas, lol...

    They didn't say, but I suspect that I will by the end of the week. I left there around 3:30, so they probably didn't get an answer from the scheduling department even if they did call Friday. I figure they'll probably call tomorrow to schedule and I'll probably hear on Tuesday or Wednesday...but that's all MY guess, lol.

    Well I slept better last night, lol. Actually napped on the couch too. I hardly ever sleep good after napping. I've been having terrible ear pain when I swallow for the last two days. Yesterday I finally took Tylenol all day and that seems to have knocked it back a bit. Thanks! I haven't posted much about it, but I'm excited for your...

    Welcome! Glad you found us. Definitely YES, stress can cause flares. My LLMD (lyme literate medical doctor) actually wanted me to quit my job (in a law office) because of the stress it can cause. Stress can cause all sorts of problems and make many things worse even without lyme. Lyme seems to make everything else worse. The lab to use in America...

    I think I won't have a definite date until next week sometime. The nurse has to schedule it with the hospital, and it's a two-surgeon surgery, so I imagine there will be scheduling concerns trying to get both on the same day at the same time. I saw her late yesterday, so she may have called or may wait until Monday to call them. I think the diet restrictions...

    Mslee, Welcome! About the chemicals thing...I just try to stay away from as many as possible. I definitely have a problem with perfumes, colognes, household cleaners, etc, but I also try to make sure I stay away from food that may have them. April, Interesting about the water. On a work day I drink between 6-8 glasses, and I'm wondering if I...

    Kassandra, glad to hear you are doing better!!

    Well I know it's not one of MY favorites, lol! Hope all goes well on Friday...you'll be well prepared, so that's going to help!

    Great minds think alike! Here is a thread I started a few years ago: Open Original Shared Link I've seen more improvements as well: dizzyness is gone, sinus issues are gone, itching is gone...I don't know how much is due to gluten/casein or the other things I've been doing, but it's improvement and I'm happy about it, lol.

    Makes me really glad I refinance my condo a few months ago. I was able to pay off all my credit cards plus get some money saved. I've slowed down slightly in my spending, but that was mostly due other circumstances with my health. I'll probably do a little stocking, but I have a small condo, and there just isn't room for much more stuff.

    Good to hear from you Kassandra!!! I've noticed that surgery tends to set off more "nerve" type pain in me...not sure whether it's the sedation or the actual surgery that does it, but my whole foot is "nerve pain" central right now. Just to touch it slightly sets off a burning type sensation like a horrible sunburn. After my hysterectomy, when...
  12. dlp252
    I agree with the suggestions so far. After my hysterectomy, I also had applesauce, scrambled eggs, really soft veggies, pudding cups, jello cups. I wasn't gluten/casein intolerant back then (or at least I wasn't aware of it). After my bladder surgery I bought some of those Thai Garden soup bowls (they have several that are gluten free), but I can...

    Yeah, you (Rachel, lol) probably need more than what you are drinking. I think (don't have any studies) that the body uses what it needs for tissue, cells, colon, etc. I don't necessarily pee any more when I drink more, but I do sometimes, so I don't know exactly why it's different those times. I probably go every 3 hours or so, unless I'm really COLD...
  14. dlp252
    Yes, surgery prep is going well...I just bought some PINK fuzzy slippers yesterday...I've ordered a shawl type thingy because I'll have tubes and things coming out of and attached to everywhere...I think I'm done with all the labs and testing...now we just need to set a date, lol. I'm good about water when I'm at work, it's when I'm home or running around...
  15. dlp252
    Oh, I forgot to tell you all that I bought detox footpads yesterday. Bed Bath & Beyond had them so I picked up a box. I was too afraid to try them last night though, lol. The box says to put one on one foot one night, then one on the other foot the next night, or you can put one on each foot, but every other night. I think I might try one foot one...

    Your mom!!! Good to hear about Dr. P...I'm still thinking about going to see him, but I'm just waiting until after this next surgery before starting anything new or seeing anyone new. That'll give me at least a few months for you to tell how MUCH you really like him, lol. I haven't been to Anna's new place either. Their website (at least a few...
  17. dlp252
    Rachel, I think Anna has Curcumin. I bought some from her several months ago, but have never tried it. She really wanted me to take it, but I'm afraid, lol.
  18. dlp252
    Glad to hear Kassandra is doing well and no further surgery is needed! Pain meds don't work well on me either, so I'll be praying for her. I've had that leg cramp thing happen too...hasn't happened in a long time though...I'll have to remember the soap thing, lol. OMGosh, I am sooooooo happy you are doing this!!!! This sounds like a great...
  19. dlp252
    Wow Paula, welcome...I promise NOT to give you a bad time, lol!
  20. dlp252
    I am definitely a NONcook, lol, and I've actually done beans and split peas...so it CAN be learned, lol!
  21. dlp252
    Potatoes, rice, fruits, veggies and meat.
  22. dlp252
    She'll probably be "out of it" for a while today.
  23. dlp252
    Welcome Mysty I think mold is a huge factor for my neck issues. Yes, we'll be thinking about you and worrying. I'll be praying. I like your team of doctors! Yay, great news!
  24. dlp252
    Sounds reasonable enough to me.
  25. dlp252
    Oooh massage sounds good...I'm getting one tomorrow! Re the article, I wonder if that's why my doctor wouldn't give cholestyramine to me.
