Wow......:huh: . ....who IS that man??.... . .. . .. ..... ..think MY heart's goin' loopity loop.. .. . . . . .. ..... . . . ..

All kidding aside, Emily seconds Kherrighn's motion to keep everyone and their hubs heart-healthy.

Jack is currently obsessed with the latest huge news release from NASA, verifying the claim that the enormous earthquake in Chile has caused the earth's axis to tilt a wee bit further back (or forth, depending on one's vantage point)... . . ......our days, henceforth, are 0.5 milliseconds shorter. Forever.

Gawd......I now have even LESS time to pack it all into a day.. . . . ..... . ...:rolleyes:

Janet can jump up and down on one foot, walk backwards, and crawl on her treadmill because Janet's treadmill is never turned on. Janet uses her treadmill to "hold" things.

:lol::lol: Rachelle thinks this is too phunny!

Rachelle heard about this this morning, it greatly disturbed her!

Rachelle has to run down to the ER now to see another sick heart. She thinks they've seen a record number of sick hearts today.....She is DONE with sick hearts! Rachelle says everyone must get better NOW!!! or else..... :ph34r:

Speaking of loops, one of Beverly's students wrote a very funny memoir whose title had Loopy in it about falling in love with a drag queen. Beverly loved it but hopes that Neroli's heart loopity loops do not mean that Neroli will fall in love with a drag queen!

Neroli's heart does not go out to drag queens :rolleyes: nor do drag queens make it go loopity loop :lol: Perhaps Neroli is just plain loopy :blink:

.

Rachelle also thinks Neroli needs to wear a King-of-Hearts monitor. This is a monitor that is worn for up to a month and can catch more sporadic symptoms. Rachelle thinks the 24 hour monitors are crap hit and miss.

Neroli although thinks that 24-hour monitors are probably poop but I guess you don't get the to the King-of-Hearts until you've been through the knaves first :rolleyes:

Um.. . . . . . must one refrain from showering whilst wearing this model, as well?. . . . . ....:unsure:.. . . ....:blink: . .. . ........

Good gracious, one would have to go camping (alone) in some remote spot for a month if that were true! You could even go where there was bears and not be bothered.

Pateeh should nae be too disappointed or concerned, if symptoms are phreakwent and daily, Rachelle thinks the 24hr holter is phine ;)

Neroli thinks Holter is poopy because symptoms are inphreakwent and not daily--may even be triggered by soitin phoods, like lectins, which she is currently avoiding, although she did eat an open-faced sanmwhich today which had bread with some soy flour in it :o Neroli thought it tasted phabulous! And she was tempting fate a little to see if Holter knew about it. More later.

Tomorrow, Neroli gets to be volunteer at New Zealand House and Garden Open Homes Tour benefit for Cancer Society. Gets free admission in morning to other open homes and assigned to a lovely old colonial in the afternoon to make sure peeps don't steal stuph. Neroli was told to dress "smartly", with this big old Holter monitor bulging around her already bulging waistline and stoopid strap trying to strangle her. Is not going to look very stylish, Neroli thinks :unsure: Perhaps they will hide her away behind a table at the door taking tickets??

Rachelle thinks Neroli should show as much of the holter as possible and she should tell people in her tour group that if anyone tries to steal anything, Neroli will push "this special button" and said person will disappear thru a hole in the phloor. Rachelle thinks this will keep said people phrom stealing! OR, Neroli can make sure the electrodes are showing and phreak the peeps out by thinking she's rigged to explosives.... :huh: No, not so phunny?? Yes, too morbid :P

Rachelle will be so sad in the morning when she cannae speak in the third person. Rachelle pheels so much phunnier this way!! :lol: :lol:

Ra-schellle has offered a terrific suggestion for handling this. .... . . .....quietly hinting to any possible thieving miscreants who are skulking about that the wires and straps are the only visible evidence of the explosives you have strapped around your abdomen. Methinks the staff of New Zealand House will be astonished at, one: how quiet and well-behaved the browsers are, and two: how quickly the crowds come and depart... . . . ......

:lol:

R, you're right.....morbid, but very effective. . . . . .. .. ...

Last night I was excited to watch a webinar that I'd registered for online last week. It dealt with the latest technologies and offerings in insulin pump technology. WELL.. . . . .....it started, live, at six. I got comfortable with my laptop on the couch, clicked on the URL that was to take me to the site, and NUTTIN'. :angry: Kept trying, troubleshooting, recruiting help from high-tech fb friends.. . . ......but could not get on.

Think I may start a thread on this, the advancements in pump delivery.

Mygawd.. . . . .... ...dunno if'n I recall how to DO this.. . . . . ..<_<:rolleyes:

POeter, have you ever considered going on the pump?

In many ways, yes. I have managed with the syringe delivery of insulin for all of my diabetic life, and have been able to keep tight control for many years. However, perhaps due to approaching perimenopause, added life stressors, or just getting older with the illness, I'm finding it suddenly not so easy to keep my blood sugars tight.

I've never had to consider the pump, and the idea of being hooked up to a portable thing, even if it is small, with long tubing and an insertion site that is always prone to infection, has never appealed to me. Needles are so easy! Fill it, shove it in, and boom - - it's in there, and done.

But I'm hearing about new pumps, and one in particular that is STILL not available in Canada :angry:, that has NO tubing, and the insulin is delivered through a patch, like a nicotine patch, I imagine. I've been waiting a few years to explore this one. Health Canada is infamously slow, safe and conservative in its approval of such things... . .. ....

Whup.. . . . . ....time for a lunch-time shot . . .. ........B)

AFTERNOON PHOLKS!!!!!!! :D

HELP!! Tel's made 'rock cakes' :P ... no control....must EAT!!!!!! :ph34r:

I too am quite sad the 'third person' thing is over.....t'was amusing for my wee brain ;)

Seems quite a few of the Psills are afflicted with loopity loops and dickey tickers! :huh:

(Gyiann-eete!!..water skiing??....EXCELLENT!!!)

Did you know that Rachelle is a cardiovascular technologist? She actually graduated with a degree in cardiovascular science :huh: Anywho, she thinks an MRI for Tel is a good idea. Rachelle wants to know what his "Ejection Fraction" is. This is a very important number. Rachelle thinks it is very good that his corn's look good, but must discover what is weakening his heart and how "weak" it is....

Well now - yooz the girl to ask about hearts n' stuph then!!! (clever girl!)

..but no, don't know what the 'Ejection Fraction' is. I am wondering now if he's had this a long time.

Many, many years ago when Terry & I first met I had to take him to A&E ER 'cos of chest pains....... then again, several times in the year leading up to his celiac disease dx...at one time they thought he had endocarditis :o

... but no follow up was ever done.

Another thing that worries me is that he lost SO much weight through undx celiac disease, was SO emaciated, that his heart was damaged 'cos of 'starvation' (like an anorexic)

Hmmm, lots to ponder on, - of course I wasn't there when Terry spoke to the doc so he didn't ask the RIGHT questions (as per usual... :rolleyes: )...hope we don't have to wait too long for the MRI

NOW of course, he's milking it, ..... chores are completely out of the question as he 'has a weak heart you know! :P

Indeed!... :lol:

There's many-a-time I wished I had such a device..... sometimes after odious, hanus, meetings (usually with DC's teachers) I would walk away whispering into my jacket collar 'kill them, kill them all!'

:lol:

Oh EM!! Update on me running..... found a fab little 5km route - 't'is GLORIOUS!!!

SO much more enjoyable & interesting!! (although why do the people at the bus stop have to STARE??)

I am a convert!!! :D

All I need now is a couple of dogs to run wiv me!!!

The 2 teens that always sit in front of us in church for 15 years, have pumps. The girl's big problem is where to put the little pump box on her cute teenager clothes. Brother has plenty of room in his baggy big pocketed khakis. Maybe the solution is to wear big baggy teen boy pants. B)

I read pimps instead of pumps :lol: :lol:

Kurt has man STOMACH phlugue :ph34r: :ph34r: ! He's delirious and saying things like "is this how YOU feel when you throw up? I am so so so so sorry" and last night he said, in a weakened voice "Call the doctor- I have malaria." But last night the poor guy got dizzy, tripped, and fell on bathroom floor. :(

He's OK but currently laying on couch talking back to "Lawrence of Arabia" :lol:

HELP!! Tel's made 'rock cakes' :P ... no control....must EAT!!!!!! :ph34r:

Gnick! Whot in hell are rock cakes? They are irresistable?? They do not sound as such. . . .....:unsure:

Any cakes that I have made that ended up being referred to as "rock cakes" were judged a dismal failure, and promptly made landfill. . . .. . . . . ..

Another thing that worries me is that he lost SO much weight through undx celiac disease, was SO emaciated, that his heart was damaged 'cos of 'starvation' (like an anorexic)

This is absolutely infuriating. :angry: :angry: Starvation due to undiagnosed intolerance of a food. :angry: :angry: Insane!

Poor Tel. . . .. ..!

Yay on the outdoor running, Nikkk! Yes, a couple of large accomplice dogs, in contrasting coloUrs, certainly helps motivate me to get out there even in inclement weather, and they really do add to the pedestrian stare factor.

He's OK but currently laying on couch talking back to "Lawrence of Arabia" :lol:

Poor Kurt... . . . . . but this is phunnee. Bevel, you must go and participate in this conversation. Pretend that you are Peter O'Toole and he is your go-to man in the Arab National Council. Ask him what you should do about Damascus. . .. . . . :lol:

No, I haven't.

Same reasons that I haven't?

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.
    • LimpToeTheTimeless
      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't. 
    • trents
      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
