Tazorac Cream - Anyone Ever Use This?

[AndreaB]

Iron..........what's an iron? I bought mine several years ago. I have maybe used it 8 times?!?!

I hear you.

[dlp252]

I'm with Susie...nothing gets ironed in my place, lol. I DO have an iron...just not sure where it is anymore, lol.

[angel-jd1]

Having a bit of a "melt down" as Dingo describes it... all this time I've been thinking I'm getting cced within my house, cuz the kids are here and yadda yadda... been having much pain... and this morning black... yep black you know what... so that means there's bleeding.

Then my neighbor asked if we got the water notice... WHAT?... what water notice?... this notice, which I NEVER saw was delivered to my whole area... says they've found coliform bacteria... it says no need to boil, should be okay.... except... EXCEPT... for young children, the elderly and people with HEALTH PROBLEMS and these people should contact their doctor... this notice was sent out 3 days ago.

Left a message at my doctors office... they are closed right now... so I won't hear from them until tomorrow.

Holey cow!! That is disturbing that they would say "don't worry it's only bacteria" BLEH!!

I hope you get some answers soon. Get some rest.

Celia, that is terrible that you never got the health notice. I hope the doctor gets back to you tomorrow and it is not too serious.

I spent the day in my pajamas and sleeping on and off. I get these kind of days several times a month. I woke up real nauseous and have been so tired since then. I am not sick sick, just feel ucky. Beats me, but I have learned not to fight it, just go with the flow. Tomorrow should be fine and I can play catch up.

Hope the rest of you are doing better then Celia.

And the mouse is a friend of the ostrich. Can't everyone see how sweet this particular goofy ostrich is?

We are quite the pair today!! I have never gotten dressed today either, still trying to figure why the nausea and tummy problems.. hop e we all feel much better Friday, I know I need to, gotta few errands to run!!

mouse and ostrich as friends..will wonders ever cease??

Celia, sorry about the water deal, your notice must have gotten lost in the mail?? think that may be cuase of your problems?? hope it is simple anyway. I did get my ironing done today andam getting a pair of pants ready to put in new hem, too long then will need pressing again. Used to sew my own clothes but not for 20 yrs., almost cheaper to buy now/ cost of fabric high + my frustration. Have a good evening all. evie

[AndreaB]

Celia,

I would be fuming right now if I were you. That is not good news. I certainly hope you hear back from your doctor first thing in the morning. Please keep us updated. I also thought everything was from cc issues.

Oh Yuck...no wonder you were sick..

hope not for your sake.

Hi everyone!

Having a bit of a "melt down" as Dingo describes it... all this time I've been thinking I'm getting cced within my house, cuz the kids are here and yadda yadda... been having much pain... and this morning black... yep black you know what... so that means there's bleeding.

EXCEPT... for young children, the elderly and people with HEALTH PROBLEMS and these people should contact their doctor... this notice was sent out 3 days ago.

Patti.... I should have done the water thing with you... I am so stupid.

Left a message at my doctors office... they are closed right now... so I won't hear from them until tomorrow.

This is just unbelievable! On top of getting cced, now you have to deal with bacteria!!! Have you found out what coliform bacteria is? If it ain't one thing, it's another! Have you ever had the black stuff before? Scary!

Cissie

Edit: Love your new picture! You are a beautiful woman!!!

[Canadian Karen]

Sending hugs your way!

I found this article - very good explanations and at the end, there is a toll free number to call if you have any questions.......

Open Original Shared Link

I sure as heck would be phoning and blasting the water company for the pathetic way they attempted to inform everyone.

Hugs.

Karen

[jerseyangel]

No, didn't even want to google that bacteria.. too afraid... am crying and I shouldn't even be posting.... I will make everyone feel sad and that's not good...

Last time I had that they put me in the hospital.

Oh Celia--

I had no idea you have been so sick! I wasn't on the computer at all last night--my husband had to turn off the power for a while to try and fix a broken outlet.

I remember how you've been thinking it was the gluten from having guests living with you. It does make sense that it could be this water problem. I hope your doctor's office gets back to you soon--if not, don't wait too long to call them!

It makes me sad to think of you crying and scared. Of course you should post now--all of your friends here want to be there for you

Saying a prayer for you now--let me know what happens/how you are today. You know how twins worry about each other

[Guest Robbin]

Hi All! Finally starting to feel human again. Getting knocked down so hard has shown me how far I had come. For anyone that goes through a bad glutening-Immodium is ok when you need to control the D-but I think it just prolongs the agony and the other symptoms. Maybe that is just me, though.

Celia-That is crazy about the water-wow, I am scared for you as well. You are in my prayers. I haven't been able to catch up on all of the threads, but Karen I did read about your driving yourself to and from the hospital for the scope and I am amazed at the strength you have. Pure strength of spirit must be what keeps you going. I hope they can finally get something to help you. You have been through enough.

Evie, What?! You're down too? My prayer list is growing daily. Your picture is adorable with you hard at work on your computer .

Judy, You are so special and caring and thank you for the kind words and encouragement. What would we ever do without you here, I don't think it would be the same -you bring a warmth like a candle.

Cissie, I thought of your hubby yesterday, lol. My hubby was daring to consider wearing a royal blue shirt with some greenish - brown pants. Needless to say, my brain-fog was not THAT severe and I nicely snatched the pants from his hands and put them in the "lawn-mowing only" drawer.

Susie-dingo-Thank you for being you. DO NOT CHANGE!!! Kiss the dingobabies for me!

[jerseyangel]

Hi Robbin,

I was thinking about you! It sounds like you're feeling more like yourself again--that's great

I know what you mean about coming back from a bad stretch--you do look back and realize that you used to feel like that almost all the time. Sometimes I wonder how we all did it--those of us that were sick for years and years.

Too funny about your husband's clothes Yep, that would have to be some pretty heavy brain fog to let that combination slip by

[queenofhearts]

Wow, a lot is going on this week. I've been working so behind on the news. So sorry to hear about the water problem, Celia, & Evie, hope you feel better too. Karen, still crossing my fingers that you'll have a quick recovery with the meds. Robbin, glad you're on the mend.

Must go, but be well everybody,

Leah

Hi Robbin,

Good morning all.. Hope the rest of the "under the weather people" are feeling better today, I am!! PTL

Not sure what upset me for 2 days but a better day today.

Do any of you know about zonulin? I was on another thread where Laura J. said, quoting Dr. Fasona':gluten induced intestinal permeability and zonulin in tissues from patients/ celiac didease. Investigation able to prevent gluten induced intestinal look/ administration of zonulin antagonist 'FZ1/0' (AT-1001). Studied @ U. of Maryland. Apparently there is also a phase 2 of this research. I think some time back Ursula spoke of zonulin, our librarian dd did too. pheewww! lots O' work for older lady like me. Hope you all know about this!!

Wouldn't that be great that we could have our damage helped/ a med or newbies could get help sooner than we did!! Hope Karen is better today!! evie

[angel-jd1]

Guess what was in my yard this morning???

I was out watering my pepper plants and I saw this brown thing scurry. I was like OMG a RAT!!!!!!! So I'm trying to check it out cause it's quite near my house and I do NOT want it going into my house.

I get a little closer and low and behold it's a baby bunny It was soooo adorable. It was small. About this time here comes my bratty cat......so he got sprayed with the hose so that he wouldn't eat the baby bunny Made him run the other direction while I shooed the baby bunny in the opposite way.

I went to check on him later........he was hiding in a wood pile. I'm thinking he probably lives there. So I have the cutest baby bunny ever living in my yard.

Oh, Robbin! I was so happy to see your post! I've been worried about you, because you hadn't posted in a couple of days. I was about to PM you, but thought I'd do one last check of the forum first.

Our hubbies are so alike! When the occasion calls for it, dh submits to wearing a tie, but it's always an OLD tie. He won't wear new ones; just puts them in a drawer to save for .... ??? I meant to comment on something you wrote some time ago about your dh and his 1970's hi fi/stereo. My hubby's hi fi is from the 1960's, or thereabout. It's huge and ugly, and he won't let me get rid of it!!! It's not like he ever plays any of his old records! He actually thinks the hi fi, as well as the records, are heirlooms, and worth a lot of money!!!

Evie, I'm glad you're feeling better today!

Karen, you poor girl, is the ulcer medicine an antibiotic? Will it have a good effect on your collagenous colitis, or is that too much to ask for?

Susan, is your company still there? When are you going to tackle the floors? Staining the concrete, I think you said.

Guess we're all on pins and needles, waiting to hear from Celia. Lord have mercy, I hope she doesn't have to go to the hospital!!!

Have to make a quick post because my son is still working...

Okay... my doctor called this morning.. the minute I picked up the phone I started crying and after about 5 minutes of telling her all my fears in between sobs... I finally said, "I think I'm having a panic attack.".... she burst out laughing

When I was listening to her laugh I felt my whole body relax... thank God my doctor has this kind of personality.

Anyway... here's what she said..

She's not too worried about the water notice but she said don't ever drink tap water. She said she doesn't think the coffee or anything I did to myself caused this.... altho all the caffein probably contributed to my anxiety. And that I'm doing really good with my diet.

She called in Prevacid for me to take for a couple of weeks... and she gave me the liquid cuz I have trouble swallowing sometimes... just picked it up and drank it... you have to mix it with water but it really doesn't disolve totally.. it has little beads.. it was wierd but it was really easy to take.

She also said to take my Xanax for a couple days.. that it's okay if I need it now and then... I was just so proud of myself because I haven't taken it in a long time.

She said just be on "poop patrol".. her words... this weekend and see if it improves and she'll call me Monday.

I'm sorry if I made anyone worry.. I really shouldn't post when I feel like that. I promise never to do it again. Am going to try and get some sleep.

I love you all

Oh Celia: That just sounds awful! I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Is that your picture? My you are a pretty woman.

I am off to see my mom, I will check in from her house, I hope this finds everyone well

[Rikki Tikki]

Karen:

Just read the posts about your villi, those stupid little soilders better start standing up to salute!

Cecile, you should absolutely post when you feel like that!!! This is a SUPPORT forum, you silly girl, and we're here to support you with love and hugs and prayers. I'm so glad your wonderful doctor put your mind at ease! Hope you get some much-needed sleep, darlin'.

[AndreaB]

Cissie,

I see by your sig that you are also soy intolerant. Is that something you knew before the test?

Celia,

Get some rest and I hope things are better by Monday when your doctor checks back.

[Camille'sBigSister]

Cissie,

I see by your sig that you are also soy intolerant. Is that something you knew before the test?

Andrea, I had no idea before the test! It explains a lot about problems with d, when I couldn't pinpoint the cause. I've known for years about msg, but until I came to celiac.com, didn't know about the hidden msg. I've always read ingredient lists on foods, and thought I was so smart! Hah!!! I even thought I had become lactose intolerant, but couldn't understand why I only had d after eating ice cream, but not after drinking a glass of milk. I was always picky about my ice cream - only "natural" ingredients would do for me. Double Hah!!! According to Entero Lab, I don't have a lactose/casein problem, so I'm happily eating Haagen-Dazs ice cream, and hoping to gain some weight.

After I learned about hidden msg, and went on a gluten-free diet, but before Entero Lab test results, I had infrequent bouts of d, and now I know why. Soy!!! Who woulda thunk it!!!

oh dear....

Cecile! I so hope you are feeling better...just a drive-by here, the girls are still here.....leaving tomorrow....it's been so good having my two surrogate daughters and their mom, who is truly a sister to me (BTW did I mention that SHE dated Robert in college? sorry if I am repeating here.....).

<------------------------------------------------------is my bratty cat lounging by the pool. He LOVES water. He is a big nerdball. One day this summer I had looked out to see what he was doing (he only gets let out every once in a while and I always keep my eye on him). Here he was......paws dangling in the pool. I snuck back inside grabbed the camera and snapped his picture. So that's him...........chillin at the pool.

He also spends a great deal of his time indoors in the bathtub or sink. When I take a bath in my big tub he is sittin on the edge trying to play in the water. When I get out, he gets in Such a wierdo.......
