Had Oliver to the vet this morning, and he is doing well. The bladder infection has cleared up, and his mobility is noticeably improved. Sugars were 7.9, which is good. The infection had him up around 18 or 19. He's lost a bit more weight, too, which is a good thing.

No snow here overnight. :)

. . . .. .....soon we may start seeing things like, "this post was typed by elye on laptop as she sat on the toilet", or "Dear gawd, you should see what elye is wearing as she posts this".... ..

Who knows how far it may go?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Suze- Hope you feel better soon!

Pieter- What is this good news of which you speak?

We did not get snaugh but my sis (15 minutes west) has the evil stuff sitting on her lawn. It is WAY too early for winter to start- we only had four weeks of summer here! Kurt and I are going to the mountains this weekend (tis our 5th anniversary!) to see the FOLIAGE and it is going to snaugh! Well, more hot tub time I guess!

OooOoOooh, thank gawd.. .. . . 'tis not a mandatory announcement.

I wonder if my kids have those little boxes on their bodies somewhere, for me to uncheck. No loud announcements at the grocery store, "Mom! You've got ELEVEN items! You can only have TEN!" or at our dentist's -- "Mom, you do NOT floss every night...... or even every WEEK"... . . .......

Hell, I should check DH's chest or top of his head, see if there is a magic edit box there somewhere...... ... ....no more "why are you wearing that?" or "trust me, you'd better talk now, while Em's takin' a breath". . . .....

:lol:

Good news about Oliver, POeter! Wow, I admire your dedication to his care - - a diabetic pet on insulin must be quite a job. :)

It is WAY too early for winter to start- we only had four weeks of summer here!

Us, too! :angry:

POeter, do you use your tester to test Oliver's blood? His own lancet, of course.... . ...do you take it from the pads of his feet? I assume that would be the easiest place. I could draw blood from Bryce's paw, our big, male orange tabby who is incredibly laid back. Tess, howevah... . . . ....well, think I'd just be guessing at what her blood sugars would be... . . . ... <_<:rolleyes:

Since my blood glucose meter has a memory, I don't want to mess up the history. Oliver has his own meter with its own memory. They are the same brand, but different models, so the test strips are the same.

We get blood from his ear, near the edge. There is a blood vessel there that is fairly easy to find. That's where Janice (our vet) showed us to get it, but I expect the paw pads would work, too.

Sorry about your dog, Peter. I am diabetic, too, and my last A1C was 7.6. So, I'm kinda like your dog. Do the numbers translate equally between humans and dogs?

OMG! My husband got laid-off today! Starting Mon. Oct.19. I had a mamogram sceduled for Mon. Oct 19 at 4:00. Our health insurance is also terminated Mon, Oct 19. I called, and got an emergency mamo today. They had to putt a little peice of wire over the scar from my breast biopsy that I had a year ago. OMG! I'm one of the many uninsured Americans with health problems. I'm skeered! I also had blood work dx. Couldn't do it that fast.

I thaught I was poor before

I thaught I could pass gass fom my silli ass

I think I can take this rotten situation onto new heights of creation

I will become healthier stealthier, and wealthier

I will not only phart, but will also make art

I will write a short novel

about living in a hovel

I'll still be poor

BUT I'LL STILL PASS GASS FROM MY SILLY ASS

And this time I will make being poor an art form!

But, I will never conform.

The actual Susan.

Ah, man.. .. ....... . .it's just heart-wrenching to hear of Americans with no health insurance, or with insurance but suddenly no coverage due to "pre-existing conditions".. . . ....... :angry::angry:

C'mon up here. . . . . . .....there can be something of a wait, but I was in for my free mammogram, bone scan test, x rays and full blood work two weeks from when I called. My sister is having arthroscopic surgery next week, a month after she got her referral. The cost will be whatever the parking lot charges her to have her car there overnight....

Yes, c'mon up here!

Sorry about yer sich-e-ation Slooz. Chin up, and hang in there. When one door closes, often many doors are open. You need to find them and pick a good one (I'll take door number 3 Montey). Pseriously, better opportunities are in the offing.

Pah-tayyy! Wunnerphul news! Bet you're so excited! We need details, details....right down to how much you sweat moving stuff in! :P

Coooold, rainy, yuk around here lately. Of course, it coincides with many area activities (outdoors, of course). At least its not snaughing (ssshhhhhh) Hoping for better temperatures very soon!

Wow! 16 months :o Ours took 4 but they finished a bit ahead of schedule. I'm looking forward to having all of my "stuff" back and finally being settled. We had only lived in our last house for 14 months, and had just about got settled and finished with what we wanted to do there when this all happened.

Pah-tayyy! Wunnerphul news! Bet you're so excited! We need details, details....right down to how much you sweat moving stuff in! :P

We took two loads over in the car last night--and plan to take more over the weekend. It's kind of nice to work with smaller amounts of stuff at a time--much more manageable. Next weekend, they will move the furniture from the apartment over and we can actually begin living there. :P The rest of the things that are in storage to follow after that.

We did get just about perfect weather--it had been hot and humid (low 90's and oppressively humid) all the way up to yesterday. It was gorgeous for the closing--sunny and 79. Today and tomorrow to be even cooler and sunny :D Just delightful :D

Phunny story (or pathetic, depending how ya look at it :lol: )......I'm busily cleaning out the kitchen, tossing out old papers, getting a donation pile ready--all that phun stuff when I come across a bottle of my old phriend--Boylan Cane Cola :wub: in the back of the fridge.

I have been pretty phlawless in staying away from rephined sugar since the beginning of August and have reaped many benefits. I don't crave it, and phrankly don't think about it much--until I was phaced wif the ice cold lucious looking bottle staring me right in the phace :rolleyes:

No way could I just pour it out (just couldn't :o )......coulda asked Mark to drink it up, I suppose...... :unsure: ...I opened it up and was just gonna take a few sips and now I've polished off just about the whole thing :P It's actually helping my packing efforts--between the caffeine and the sugar I'm making record time here :D

This was the last of it--when it's gone, it's gone. ;)

Sugar is a bit like riding a bike :lol::lol::lol:

And stays. And stays.

Alzy CANNOT be seventeen!! :o:o There is no way......yesterday he was a little guy goin' to Disney World. . . ........unbelievable!

Potty - congrats on the new house. When we moved to Ohio, we moved into our first brand new house. Our funiture didn't come for 3 days, and we could have stayed in a motel on the company's dime but baught some bedding and slept on the floor! We were so excited! It's a good feeling.

Sorry, Peter, that I turned your cat into a dog. God, I have magical powers!

And thanks to all of you for commiserating on John's job loss. I know that if he finds a job, we'll both be better off, cause he really hated that job, but it was a job. We have high unemployment here and he's no spring chick, so it's scary. The thing that p's me off is that he was there 4 years and our renter has only been there 6 weeks, and he didn't get laid off! A bunch got the pink slip, including a guy that has been there for 23 years. Needless to say, this causes a problem for me. And, the renter has paid late 6 of the 7 minths he's lived there and calls off all the time. John never missed work. I just don't get it. :unsure:

What can I say. Onward and Upward, I guess. :D

S

ps...Nick, get better and Iam... are you diabetic?

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long...

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.

It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      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?
