    Hello there from me of the still dangling porch light. No need to check the cookie aisle...it's safe for a while. (psssttt....I get there long before you even wake up anyway and I'm fast me thinks).

    [sorry, had trigger finger and got a double post]

    I've only cruised with Princess. The first two cruises I didn't know about gluten yet, but I was eating an anti-yeast/candida diet, so it was low in that by default. The third cruise was last December, and that was my first cruise gluten/casein free, so I was more concerned about hidden ingredients, etc. I eat fairly simply out of necessity (too many...

    A year and a half ago, I wouldn't have considered "altnerative" medicine. But, conventional medicine did absolutely nothing to try to get to the cause of all this. A relatively healthy body just doesn't go haywire overnight. I'm finding what's working for me now is having doctors who are willing to think outside the traditional medicine box. I see two...

    Thanks for the info...I'll be in Cabo in a couple of weeks. I''ll be on a cruise so will only be in port a few hours, but this info is great to have just in case my friends wants to eat in port!

    Well, I started my low oxalate diet today...so far so good.

    Thanks Patti! I still have my appendix...maybe that's why I'm not in worse shape than I could be, lol.

    Porno ad???? Huh? Did I miss something?

    Had a BioSET appointment today...we did 3 or 4 full panels of allergies. Not surprisingly my big glass was overflowing and had to have a second glass for the vials. She had a glass vase on her desk and I joked (sort of in the middle of the testing) and asked if that was for people like me who have really full glasses...didn't realize I might really NEED...

    Okay, here's the info on the neurotransmitters: Neurotransmitters are the chemical part of your body

    Well, since I'm late to the party and you've already received great info, I'll just say hi! HI! I get this from time to time too...haven't figured out why sometimes it's almost black and sometimes it's really light. I DO think food is a major contributor in my case. Great that you have been able to cut back! Oh...

    Hey Ryan! I've been on three cruises so far and about to leave on my fourth. I didn't know about the gluten issue on my first two cruises, but on the last cruise I checked gluten free on my pre-cruise information, and was advised to talk to the Maitre'D once on board, which I did. I actually didn't have any problems, except one time at the buffet, I took...

    Well, everything seems to give me D, lol. But I didn't notice any big change when I started taking the magnesium except when I took too much. I did specifically say to her that I'd always heard and been told to take calcium and magnesium together, and she still wants me to take the calcium in the morning and the magnesium in the evening. She DID...

    I've tried taking a few different brands of EFAs (essential fatty acids) and fish oils and haven't tolerated any of them (also tried Flax seed oil and meal and hemp for some Omega 3s with no luck in the tolerance department)...I'm wondering if the cod liver would do any better for me? Just thinking in cyberspace.

    Judy, I just had an appointment today with a doctor to go over my neurotransmitter tests, and she was asking me about calcium and magnesium. I told her I've been taking them separately (as in separate supplements), but at the same time. She told me they actually sort of cancel each other out in a way and she wants me to take my calcium in the morning and...

    I'm so very sorry!!! What sad news.

    Okay, got my results and as expected my brain is whacked, lol. Cortisol was within range Melatonin was WAY low at 10.6 (range 25-60) Epinephrine was too high at 5.8 (range 1-3) Norepinephrine low at 17.4 (range 20-30) Serotonin was within range Glycine was WAY high at 768.9 (range 150-350) GABA was very high at 14.2 (range 1-3) Glutamate...

    Now that you mention it...you DO look a little like a very skinny Woody!

    Mine was also just tested and found to be below optimal. They're having me take a vitamin D3 supplement with 50,000 IU of Vitamin D3...I'm taking one of those a day for a month...don't know what happens after that though, I need to ask tomorrow. She said the idea behind the megadose is to "flood the receptors" whatever that means. I don't think I could...

    I (hopefully) get my results today from the neurotransmitter test. I have to go in early though...Dr. Rick is referring me to another doctor (she's new) in their practice who, I guess, has more experience with this. Apparently there are some things that are "off" (gee, something off in my brain, who could've guessed...bet any of my friends could have said...

    I also live just down the street from the Winchester Mystery House....freaky looking place, but didn't feel especially weird walking through it, lol.
  22. dlp252
    I'm always interested in test results. I think I've had three CT scans of my sinuses...all were normal. Well, except one time...there was some little barely there fuzzy thing up in one corner. The doc is saying that it all looked clear and then said, "well, there's this, but I don't think that's anything to worry about." Never did find out what that...

    Okay found this on partials: How do you wear a removable partial denture? Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by metal framework. Removable partial dentures attach to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. Precision attachments...

    Thanks for the update on the family Andrea...was wondering how the kids were doing. The titanium earrings were kind like cheapy stuff...the metal was very lightweight and sort of "rainbowish". They were drops with earwires (as opposed to posts). My dad had partials...I don't know if I ever saw his though, lol. I think it's kind of like...

    Grrrr on the clueless doctors, lol. Glad you've got a good one now. Move? Not my home, but just moved at my office.
