So I'm gonna go to work tomorrow, in the hopes that routine will be good for me. Should be a quiet day, not too demanding, and I'm going to bed soon and getting up early so there's no rush in the morning and I can get there early to fix whatever might've happened Friday. I'm already 30% better today than I was yesterday, which is maybe not great compared to normal, but I hope I will continue to get better this fast. Have a little 'coping kit' I'm bringing to work, hee hee.....

How's the head, Sheep Lady?

How's the head, Sheep Lady?

Still there, seems to be bright lights that bring it on mostly. Thankfully not a rip my head oph pain though!

Anyone want to help me tidy up my house? I have an aversion to anything remotely related to housework :lol:

I hope all the phlooies are pheeling much phiner soon! I am amazed we escaped the piggie phlu. We had close contact with phamily members with it...

We need to get a plumber to the house- sillies there is a rankest of all stanks coming from the kitchen sink and nothing makes it go away....

Amanda, is it coming from the garbage disposal?? I did this . . . Open Original Shared Link . . . and it helped mine out immensely. Only needed to do the soap one and it cleared up. Give it a try before you pay a plumber $90 just to ring the doorbell . . . actual work costs more!!!

OK . . . no silly . . . just checkin' in to say "hey". Hope you sold yer house today Judee.

I wish it was the disposal--nope it reeks in the bathroom too and we can use draino in the tub and a week later need it again...... Thanks for the info though- very handy :)

Man-daaahh...sounds like a problem with yer vent! All your plumbing vents outside to keep smell out of your house and to help it all drain out wifout causing a vaccuummmmm. Hope it's a quik and eazy fix.

Wide....tis not migrains izzit? I used to get them all of the time and couldna stand any light at all. Telehubby gets migrains....sometimes caused by brite lites. We've found a whole list of phoods that cause them for him, too. Even splenda! Am trying to get him to keep a phhud jernal, but to no avail. Don't think he wants to limit his fuud too much :lol: . The guy wants to plan dinner while he's eating breakfast. Me....personally...don't particularly care when it comes to phood. If I'm busy with something, I don't want to interrupt it to stop to eat.

How the heck is ever'body else?

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".

Can I borrow Jack. I need some laughs today

Sounds like things are gettin a bit personal over there, Judith :P

hell no one in their right might want into my ''drawers since they are depends'' now. :ph34r:

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.

We're in sillie sick bay :lol:

Hell didn't know patti and bunny were sick .............not fair..............hope your both better

:lol::lol:

My "cure" for any stomach ailments is to eat the hottest thing you can tolerate.

Me appetite came back so I had a hamburger (no bread) and some zucchini. I'm actually feeling better--but now Mark has it :o Same exact symptoms.

You know what helps my stomach--wine. Really :lol:

wine.........wonder if it helps the 'd'

Joodee, thinking of you and your house today. I just feel like today's the day that a love affair will blossom and you will find a buyer.

loved your house; it looked so beautiful in the picture. When you have time I wish you would tell us more about it, and the National Wildlife Habitat status, etc. It looks like a warm, happy house. :)

Thanks

Hey, Nik Nik pooped in! Hope you're lovin every minute <:jealousface:> No surporse about the Amerikanner TV shows. Methingks the world has a love-hate thing going wif us (heck...most of US have a love-hate thing going wif us :P ). Would not want to live anywhere else....uh uh.

Lots of "visitors" in the Park. Our dollar really sucks right now, so it's cheaper for other countries to vacation here. I hear lots of accents and non-english people often have enough english to get by. Fun! Germanic languages, heavy british accents (NikNik...you're not really HERE vacationing and just "telling" us that you're being a Turkey....are you?) Wish I had more time to actually converse with them...could be soooo interesting.

Hope your all having a bright-shiny day today. Juuuuude......am thinking of you and still sending positive vibes for you! Things will come to pass at the right time with the right people.

even a video to watch. I didn't see it yet

so far no one seems to give a dam about the garden, birds, wildlife on property.

Guess Jim and I are alone in our love of this property.

People sure can be picky.

Have a great day everyone on

no bookings this week as kids going back to school and Labor day holiday coming up

so i'm going to just relax and enjoy it

i still want to scrap and paint 3 doors and door frames but it's for me to enjoy

Paint is on i don't react to either.

I'll have time to read and catch up on reading

thanks for sticking by me in my virtual absence.

Hi Amanda

see you there

hope your feeling ok and had a good weekend

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

hI sUSAN rANGER......SEE YOU

ok all you tree huggers

here is a neat video from NWF on how easy it is to get you yard certified.

this new director on the video took over when our dear friend Craig Tuffs, i've mention on here before passed away on father's day from the same brain cancer that T Kennedy did.

We were really close to Craig and our whole garden club got their gardens certified.

it's really easy or I sure wouldn't have gotten it done :lol:

You can even do on line now......easier than what i did with photos and graphs of our property

Well. . . ........day two of my five-day sojourn as Thy Menstruating Majesty.. . ...... <_< ....and I have been walking around with my shorts unzipped due to the characteristic bloating. Both dogs have been tied out front, lying on the steps, watching the world go by. Well, you know what's coming.

Our mailman, effective today it would seem, is delivering two hours earlier 'round here. He was suddenly approaching, and the dogs began barking and howling their hellos (this is @ 7:30 am - - too early for such shenanigans). So out I rush, pants undone, me having totally forgotten this.

Our mailman hands me our stash of letters, smiles, then frowns, then nods.. . . . .... . turns and trots down the driveway.

:lol:

Gawd.. . ....... ...hope he has a wife who gets bloated. I'm hoping it is an obvious thing - - "Oh, that woman has her period.....totally understandable". :huh:<_<

I brought the dogs in and THEN noticed. Crap... . . . .should have done me shorts up, ran back out and yelled, "HEY! I've got my period!! That's why my pants were undone! Y'know, in case you were wondering.....".....

With all that heat sure hope you got in some practice tanning afore ye left Nik :P We all know the British whitefair skin and how infamously it burns. Me first memory of London, too hot for Brits in early June, sailing up de Thames to Windsor Castle and all de guys took off der shirts. On de way home, MANY, MANY red sunburned mens :P , not a pretty sight.

Still it sounds like you went to Turkey to sit in bars drinking Black Russians (didn't know you had to go to Turkey for dat) :o and watching Martha Stewart. No, de only thing dat woman couldln't do was keep herself out of jail, and she even triumphed over dat--redocorated all de mess hall tables, ordered new dinner sets and candelabra, fashioned centrepieces out of toilet paper dyed with leftover broccoli and carrots...GAHHHHH!!! Hate dat woman!

Well, I'm feeling better, about 80%. I'm used to running on 80% so that's not bad. Went to work, took a nap. Now I'm eating pan fried chicken in olive oil, with garlic, lemon pepper and salt. Mmmmm..... Oddly enough, my veggie is fresh cucumuber. Nicely balances the highly peppered chicken, trying to clear out my nose. Should be better enough for more bunbuns in a day or two! I've been trying to tell myself they're good for me, since they're made with only honey and cinnamon..... not working yet....

Hey ever-body!

Em-N-Em.....I jest luuv you! YOu give great giggles! (I promise not to laugh and tell).

Juuude....Telehubby and I looked for our house for a year! We knew we'd find the right one, and since we had a year rental lease, at first there was no hurry. As time was running out we finally looked at a house that we didn't want to look at. It's not far enough out of the way. The YARD was what I was looking for in all of the many places we "visited"......as much as price, more than the house....it had to have the right yard, or at least the right potential yard. It had to be something I could work with to make my own. SO.....the house we didn't even want to look at was the one place we both loved. There was one other house we truly did love...but the yard was horrid. I've had a ball creating what we call Saffold Park, the house is perfect for us, and the neighborhood suits us fine. Closer neighbors than we want, but they are quiet and respect privacy. ANywAy...I guess I'm trying to say is that there IS someone who is meant to love your house and yard. They may not know it right now, but they will be there, and in good time.

Pah-tay....mules with thumbs......OMG!!!!! I realized after I replied that...."well, dummy, she told you why the guy was out there". Never, ever, ever, enter a fenced pasture for any reason :P

After temps in the 90's....it feels downright cold here today. I am NOT ready for fall to be here! I want more summerrrrrr <:whineface:> :(

      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.

      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.

      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.
