Bevvie! My thoughts and prayers remain with you and your two friends with cancer. . . ..... :( My best friend is battling it, as well.......incredible, these healthy, vibrant middle-aged women who are suddenly blind-sided. Bev, I think your friends are really lucky for one reason: they have you as a supportive friend - - you would be the absolute BEST to have nearby.....so positive, supportive and strong. ... . .!!

Great news on the upped meds and the sudden productivity! :)

If we ever have a big Psilly Psummit, it will have to involve Bev's dad, my dad and Uncle Ray .... . . ....

And NOT my MIL.

:lol::lol: I was thinking exactly that as well, Pahtee. . . . .....as I was watching that clip I suddenly thought, "wow....... . . . .. that's dad's real nose......it's the same shape as mine!"

Growing up I only got to see him without any make-up/prosthetics/masks on occasion - - in the backyard, at breakfast. However, at the dinner table, at church, at parent-teacher interviews.....well, it was a crapshoot. . . . .

:rolleyes:

Yes, sometimes I think he must have. :lol:

For you Yanks, here is Don (of Hockey Night in Canada fame) in one o' me favorites:

Speaking of which......Jules asked about me dad and Angus 2 the kitteh. dad is doing well- taking him to NY next time I have to go and he is over the moon! I love that guy :wub: 79 years old and still ready to pah-tay! As far as he and the wee kitteh- it's LOVE! She is back to Hazel though- took her to the vet and it turns out she was a cat up for adoption there first so they all came out looking for Hazel and petting her..........she became Hazel again toot suite! My dad's place (retirement community- story for another day!) has huge windows in the living room and hazel sits on the couch and bats at the snowflakes :wub: :wub:

So glad to hear your dad is doing well and how fun for you both to go to NY for your next appt!!

Hazel, that's right (couldn't remember wee kitteh's name.....but funny I could remember Angus 2 :lol: ) Sounds like she has settled right in at your dad's place :)

Good news- thyroid med upped and restarted antibiotic- energy slowly returning (note: slowly being keyword) but made three pairs of earrings and a necklace today. I'll take it! :D

YAY!!!!! More energy for the Bevermeister!!! Hope it continues to go up every day :)

Are you sticking with the yoga? OMGosh I am so bummed I dropped off after the last several outbreaks, have to get that going again for myself because it makes a difference for me on so many different levels.

Still doing the treadmill though I am pleased to report, Sven would be happy with me :lol:

Hi everybody! Psorry for the psillyville boredom, I'm not bored....too tired to be bored. Bev-realy is making jewelry! Yay! I go through spurts with that. Seems I have only enough energy for one thing at a time...er sumpthin. Days I work, that's it. Days off I do studies....some days better than others at that.

Did Jewels say she does Yoga? I think about doing that....a lot. Can't even work up the energy for starting that :P:huh: Pretty soon it'll be warm enough to play outside, though...bet I'll find some energy somewhere to do that :lol:

Hey sillies-

Not much time for silly time these days- between all the craziness at work- we are having two audits here in just over a week- and the high patient volumes--by the time I get home at night I am done in. I have been cooking a lot these days as well and that has been taking some time and planning as well....John's job situation and recurring illness is also draining the silly from both of us. He sees the Dr tomorrow and hopefully it will provide answers. I also would love for it to be warm- even though I love the new house I am thinking I am getting cabin fever from winter. I want to go out and spend time in the new yard and start the garden and do fun stuff.\

work time again!

Bye sillies

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat. 
    • trents
      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
