Amanda, meant to say earlier how sorry I am . . . and I KNOW it will happen . . . and when it does, I KNOW that will be one lucky baby!!!

Judy, I know showing a house is a pain . . . but all this "action" is good, no??? . . . and yes, Em's Dad's lurvely mulberry tree is featured in her av.

while we're about it, is Sven Knickers' personal trainer or does he make her svoon, or bofe?

Sven is a code word for that distasteful word "excercise" <shudder>. Isn't it funny that Nik is the only one that talks about spending any time wif Sven?? What does that say about the rest of us? On a related note, Edna is code for "diet" <rolling eyes, fingers in ears, "LaLaLa I can't hear you"> We don't talk about her much either except to mention what a bi-otch she is.

And am just chortling away over our Oracle POeter's summation of the Royal Psilly Ascention Schedule. :lol::lol: Methinks the Coronations have been much slower to happen the last few months.....but with new blood, we could be hitting some new records.... . ....

Jack got out of bed this morning, came into the office and said to me, "Mom, tablecloths were originally meant to be used as towels with which dinner guests could wipe their hands and faces after eating".

He walked toward the kitchen, then stopped, turned and added, "AND........In New York City, approximately 1,600 people are bitten by other humans every year".

:huh:

Oh hey Patee- You said you were phluish too, can I ask what sorts of remedies you use? I'm doin the garlic-chicken-onion thing, and lots of herbal tea and tea with ginger, honey, lemon, and cinnamon.

I want my cinnamon buns.....

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Bun-knee :( Are you pheeling any better today? I'm sticking wif lots of spring water, bananas, a little plain yogurt and mint tea. Mine hit with headache and upset stomach --I'm alternating between being hot and cold, too :angry:

I'm going to try chicken soup today--not makin it from sctrach--I have some Pacific broth in the cupboard.

....And a Psilly being ridden by an errant Swede. .. ........ :lol:

Um, this sounds quite unconventional, rather snake-oilish and 'out there', howevah: bear with me, and try this, Patteigh and Yer Mahjestee Bun, as you have nothing to lost but yer phloo.... . . . . ...

Take the bottle of 3% hydrogen pyroxide outta your medicine cabinet. Put several drops-worth into an eye-dropper, lie down, and squirt a few drops into your ear canal. You'll likely hear all kinds of crackling and it will tickle, as the waxy crud is broken up by the stuff. Lie there for five minutes, then sit up, let the extra H2 02 come out of this ear, and repeat with the other one.

If I feel something phloo- or cold-ish coming on, I do this. It goes away. I can only remember one time when I had the phloo well-ensconced and was away from home, so did not get my hands on any H2 02 right away. I did put the stuff in me ears after a day or two, and was considerablly better by that evening.

Sumfin' about the amazing anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial properties found in hydrogen pyroxide. It is interesting reading......

Jyessss, what's yer weigh-in? Need our Psciencey Psilly's take... . . . . ..

Just read through the lyrics of "A Boy Named Sue".

:huh:

:huh:

Love Johnny Cash, but what in hell was this?

<Oy . ..just a couple wks late>

The only hit song written by nowned, nowned & REnowned children's author Shel Silverstein?

uuuuhhhhhh, sounds completely ridiculous. But if it works, it works. Maybe the ear is one of the sites where infection starts and modern medicine has completely dismissed it.

Let us know if it works for you guys.

GAH!! Wait!! WAIT!! NOT HP SAUCE!! Hydrogen pyroxide!!

But... . . . ......maybe HP Sauce would work just as well.. . . ... :lol:

Hi, Ptaoughmghmnuss! :)

uuuuhhhhhh, sounds completely ridiculous.

I know, even fer my un-sciencey brain. It could always have been a coincidence with me -- perhaps the on-coming phloo was something small, simple and very fleeting -- dunno. Placebo? Next to impossible to buy. I'm never inclined to believe that anything is gonna work... . . . .... <_<:lol:

It may just be that since ears, nose, and throat are all connected, leaving it in your ear for a while allows it to leak through into your sinuses, helping to fight your infection. I use a saline nose rinse too, and was thinking about whether it would be safe to put some H2O2 in there.

Hi Ghtommn, good to see you!!! So if we want to see you more often, we need to be talkin' song lyrics?? Shel Silverstein is one of Skeeter's favourite authors but did nae know about "A Boy named Sue".

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
    • Cathijean90
      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.
    • Scott Adams
      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.
    • KDeL
      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
