I'm in a good moment right now, so I take these little pockets of time and do the things I need to do (help my mom with the financial stuff, eat something, try to exercise the dogs). At the top of this list is talking to you guys.

Thank you so much, dear buddies, for all the support you have given me. I will be okay because of friends like you, and the family I truly cannot believe that I have.

I think I won't be staying good for too long right now, so here is a clip of the memorial service - - an event was just what we wanted. Click on the button below the screen on the right that says something about "Memorial".........

Um, the camera puts on ten pounds.

And it makes one's hair look ridiculous.

AND I did NOT have the zit that appears to be on my chin.

What a beautiful tribute to your beloved Dad.

Watching it I kept going between :(:):(:rolleyes:

I would imagine your emotions are and were doing the same .

I so enjoyed seeing the clip of the celebration of life and getting to see you & your Mom and Sister.

I'd checked out your links before but NOW I REALLY remember seeing him on TV when I saw the clips of him with the mustach. I so enjoyed that show.

I hope you will take care of yourself as you go about these next few days and weeks. It was great to see you post.

many HUGS...........DEAR SILLY BUDDY.

Hi Em: love :wub: and {{{{hugs}}} to you.

Thank you for taking the time to share with us a little of the celebration of your dad's life. I had never seen your dad before, but from just the short clips shown I could see that he was a very special person who will be greatly missed. Incidentally, you looked great!!! Take care, luv, and enjoy the time with your family; it's times like these we really appreciate 'em.

A lovely tribute. If you watch carefully, about half-way through, Emily's children pass through the picture on the right-hand side--Sophie phirst, with Jack right behind her.

I had to go back and look . . . I had noticed Sophie but had failed to see Jack right behind.

Very Nice Em . . . and there's no doubt that he's passed on his sense of humour . . . thank you for sharing.

Morning all, peeps . . .

sorry 'bout them glass-filled fudgecicles, Bev

FIL and step-MIL are due to arrive on Saturday. Somebody needs to come over and clean my house!!! Apparently, nobody here is going to do it!!! This is why I had children!!! so they can clean my house . . . I have to tell you that when I was a kid, I actually thought that mom and dad had kids so they wouldn't have to do dishes or clean the house anymore.

Did youse guys know that chickens pant?

Cats are furious with me for making it so hot, but too limp to do anything more than a pitiful mmmmooowwl when I walk by.

Our overnight lows are what our normal highs should be. And yes I know it's hot lots of places, but keep in mind that people don't have air conditioning. Many business don't either. Our buildings are designed to garner heat (black roofs and such), not repel it.

We're just not made for this sort of thing up here.

AANNNDD conversations have become incredibly dull. "Did you have a breeze last night?" "What's your house like?" "I'm too hot to do anything." "Can I just stay on the ferry all day?"

One of our ferry crew admitted she took a cab home -her house is a 7 minute walk from the boat...

:lol: I thought exactly the same thing. Except I know they had only me because they were still trying for a boy, and since I couldn't accomplish that pheat without expensive surgery, I'd darned well better make meselph usephul.

I know--I was thinking how lucky I was because at least here everything is air conditioned and although it's oppressive outside, it's easy to escape it and be comfortable. Youse guys have to be absolutely wilting. :( And the poor kitties wif their phur coats....

I grew up in central NY, and it was kinda that same way back then--unless you were rich, you didn't have A/C at home and gawd forbid, in cars. It got really hot maybe one week out of the year, and that was quite enough.....we lived in a small ranch house, and at the beginning of every summer my parents scrubbed and painted the garage floor.

We ate dinner out there, and us kids slept there on cots and lounge chairs. :lol: We had a screen across the overhead door opening, and it was at least 10 degrees cooler there than in the house. It was attached to our kitchen by a doorway, and while it sounds awful, it was our "summer room"--complete wif portable TV. :rolleyes:

Can't believe I just admitted that :lol:

Must be the heat.

dear gawd :lol::unsure: this really is untenable, isn't it? how do you guys DO it? I'd have to install a window cooler in my bedroom, and NEVER leave there........call in sick every day until heat wave passes......what's the temp up there, BTW? my niece lives there also....thinks it's crazy that the city of SEattle hasn't taken advantage of this thing called AIR CONDITIONING

I would go stark, raving, blazes BONKERS - no relief from heat makes me mad as a cracker

They're predicting hitting 101 today. Has happened once in recorded history...

Amending this to say, has never hit 101, has hit 100 three times.

I think the worst when it's that hot is trying to sleep at night..... :(

I think I'd be spending an inordinate amount of time perusing the frozen phood dept at the grocery store. B)

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?
    • Karen Chakerian
      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago.  6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had,  became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he told me they have ‘pills’ for all those things; which I turned down and sought to deal with this with homeopathic remedies.  Mid October 2024 my guts hurt terribly and started to swell. My massage therapist asked about celiac and I started to do research on it. It absolutely fits all the symptoms so I’ve been gluten free since 2 days before Thanksgiving but the huge gut persists. Thankfully the pain and cramps are gone. I look like a 90# pregnant skeleton.  I’m exhausted and looking for some encouragement from the tribe. I have good days and bad. I know living with an autoimmune disease sucks but this is even worse than the RA.
