    I decided to post just the symptoms. I don't think that would be a copyright infringement. A 58-year-old right-handed woman with type 1 diabetes was admitted to the hospital because of a 2-week history of increasing fatigue and word-finding difficulties and a 2-day history of right-arm weakness. She had been in her usual state of health until 3 years...

    Would any of you considered testing this woman for Celiac? (I believe this requires subscription to nejm to fully open) Open Original Shared Link

    Bosnia had a rough time in the war. The city of Mostar was shelled to destroy the old bridge "most" that was a symbol of the city. (Opinion of the Bosnians). The guy I stayed with told me that for 4 years after the war he and his mom had no water or electricity and he had to take a bucket down to the river to get water, bring it back, build a fire and...

    Mine's fairly sedentary as well. I'm trying to add tiny little bits of movement during the day. Things I've come up with: Every hour go get a drink of water and/or go to the bathroom. Take the stairs ALWAYS when going downstairs, and if you're only going up one. Do a few leg stretches when sitting at your desk. Other ideas? I know there has to be...

    I thought you came across as frustrated, not sharp. It is curious why your body would suddenly decide that it really needed to carry more fat around (I'm assuming you are gaining fat, not muscle). I wonder if there is some different way you should be exercising, or some different combination of foods you should be eating, or maybe your hormones are...

    I sometimes tell myself that if I have time to mope, then I have time to do something. Usually that something is going to the forest or a nice park and walking, sometimes for hours. No music, just think through whatever's on your mind. I walk until I'm completely exhausted, or I've gone through every aspect of what's bugging me. Somehow just breaking...

    I was wondering if it's easier to stick to the diet if you were really incapacitated by the disease, whatever your age.

    When my other choice is veggies... So. Knowing I was going to have to post this I did NOT go home and plop my butt in front of the TV and consume half a chicken dipped in barbecue sauce while watching Wheel of Fortune. Instead I got off the bus 1/2 mile early and walked home, then chopped 1 breast from the chicken in my frig and added ~3 T of light...

    After Assisi I took a ferry from Ancona, Italy to Split, Croatia. I didn't stay in Split at all but got on a bus to go to Dubrovnik. It's a beautiful walled city on the coast and a popular vacation spot. It's perfect for just lounging around on church steps watching people. I also spent a little time on one of the concrete pads at the coast enjoying...

    I took a train to Assisi and showed up with only a vague idea of where the hostel was. I asked the cab guys outside the station where it was, but once they realized I wanted to walk they weren't very helpful. I walked along a main road and stopped in a soap store to ask. They didn't know either, but they helped me call to get directions. Turns out there...

    Hi all, Have lots of stories and pics and I don't know the best way to do this so I thought I'd just tell a few stories and give a link to the pics and see how it goes from there. I flew into Milano and only stayed there for a few hours. I took the train to the Cinque Terre which is 5 small towns built onto hills and connected by a hiking trail and...

    You're forgiven. I'm not a mom and I don't talk about boyfriends/partners so there's really no way anyone could *what* I am. Back to topic - ate tons of food yesterday, but except for the popcorn, oh, and the half bag of M&Ms (which are all gone now) it was all vegetables and 2 bananas. Brought some fruit for breakfast but I'm still...

    Hi all I'm jumping on this band wagon. So except for the half bag of MnMs I did well this weekend. Tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and calamata olives for breakfast and lots of veggies and fruit for lunch/dinner. Trying to eat only whole foods, minimally cooked (just because it's quicker and I'm less likely to snack while preparing them) and more...

    Aww, I'm so sorry. And I was looking forward to llama pics. Maybe it just means that there's a better llama looking for you.

    Yeah, I hear ya. Before this almost every meal I ate was prepared by someone else. Now I have to plan and think and cook and it's a pain in the butt. I know the whole story about how it's healthier and cheaper than eating and so on and so forth, but sometimes it just sucks to not be able to be lazy.

    Hi all First - İ'm ın Turkey and using a Turkish keyboard so excuse the mistakes.

I can eat all the daıry I want here wıth absolutely no problems. The few times that I know İ.ve been glutened I haven't had any re...

    Hi all I'm not back. I'm Bulgaria at the black sea coast. It's just still too hot to sleep and the hostel has free internet. I'll be back in about a week and a half. I'm just doing a quick catchup on the news.

    Hi Lisa I realize you have a lot to deal with, but once you've gotten used to realizing that it's part of your health regime now, hypothyroidism will not be a big deal. The risk are more long-term and only happen with untreated disease. Yours was recognized quickly and you're dealing with it so that's great. I've taken synthroid for years and have...
