We're staying home for now. No sense in having an entourage back and forth. David will call if it's a go. :)

<TRYING to download a smiley central DEAD MAN emoticon.............will not work :angry: >

<and just HOW do I get me smileys??? what website? it's not working!!!!!!!!!!>

Nobody answered this.....and I'm no expert by any means :unsure:.........pseriously :huh:

I'm skeert to download things, so I google 'free emoticons' and only pick stuff I can click on and hijack, so to speak.....using that little box thing that Jan-knit mentioned. :blink:

Sometimes I think it's a miracle I'm even here! :ph34r:

Alexis, you vex us,

This waiting just wrecks us. . . . ..... :rolleyes:

I think she knows, that wee Alexis, that she has an international audience awaiting her arrival; drama queen already :lol:

mentalpause

*snort*

Menopause.....I went through it at aproximately 8AM on January 3, 2007 when they yanked out all me equipment :rolleyes: No HRT it'all, so the rest of that year was "interesting"--lots of hot and cold and all the rest. I'll tell ya thought--when everything settled down at the end of a year's time or so,

Mark and I petered out last night-

Menopause lasts five years if you don't take HRT, five years if you do,....Eggsacly the same, seems to me; you just feel like you must be making a difference with the HRT :P

Petered out, didja??? If you was down here ya probbly wouldn't say that. :lol: :lol: They use Peter for Dick interchangeably here, :o

Well.......back to the hospital :rolleyes:

Now you's making sense. And then she'll just pop out when you're not looking :o

My garden had a nice drink last nite whilst we slept and this morning the sun is trying to peep through. Now that's the way the world is supposed to be arranged :D

Visited a physio named Sven yesterday to see if we could do something to get this rickety bod moving again, now that I have my new electric slat bed inserted into the old bed frame..aaahh!! :D No more sleeping in the recliner chair!!!! :o Seven years ago we bought two super single slats inserted into a king-size frame just for such an eventuality. T'is obvious now that I won't ever comfortably sleep in a normal bed again(after the 3 months at Tahoe, so might as well enjoy my sleeps at home :D :D

Anyway, Sven has organized a strengthening programme for me and has come up with a brilliant manner of standing whilst prepping food at the counter, which must look funny as hell but works...legs wide apart, "bum" as he calls it tightened up, and lean pelvis against edge of the counter. Takes all the stress off the area of the fracture and the spinous erector muscles. Now mebbe all this "from scratch" gluten free cooking will not be such a chore! :rolleyes::)

Florentine Sleeping sickness :lol: Siestas are very, very necessary. How else would the Spanish eat dinner at 11 PM and stroll about till 2 am and hold down job?

Oh, I was AFRAID someone was going to ask this someday. We don't know. I think we're like Seinfeld- a thread about absolutely NUTtin' (emphasis on the NUT!)

The jewels and scepter remain somewhat tarnished tonight. There was no polishing of the royal assets.

Uh-oh....will heads roll? :P

Judee- You snuggle up wif that heating pad as much as you need. That packing is for the birds!

who in hell gets up at 4:30 in the morning in HAWAII?????

Our Geoss- parties till dawn and then goes swimming! She's crazy but we love her!

Extremely cranky that I have to go and represent the TC (my "job") tonight at this function WITHOUT MY BOSS :angry: do NOT want to go.......no no no no NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh: Have a zit on my chin the size of a pea.....hair is PSYCHOTIC, and getting worse all the time :( Am VERY cranky, and do NOT want to go ANYWHERE, but most especially doing an activity that requires me to promote something that I think is GNUTS (our youth program).

Whine away and send me a screwdriver! Did it help? ;)

Paddeigh- Glutamination- just plain wrong :angry:I'm sorry it happened. It IS worse when it hasn't happened in awhile....makes you remember how wretched it is. Hope you feel better soon!

There are worse things than inebriation, you know. Sobriety is at the top of my list.

The King hath spoken!

Well.......back to the hospital :rolleyes:

......I think this one's the real thing :P

YAHOO! A new silly will be born (today? tomorrow? next week?). Hopes and wishes for a safe, speedy delivery for mom and wee Alexis!

My mom has been on Premerin for 40 years :huh: Just recently did they at least cut her dosage--and she's in her 70's. Horrifying to me, but "if the doctor says it, it has to be so" <_<

She also has perfect blood pressure, but is on meds for that too.....just in case :o

Egads, that's awful!! Wean her off it...Had one friend who had two mini strokes while on HRT (attributed to the HRT), another who kept upping her doseage because she thought it kept her from aging and ended up with a DVT :o Wish I had never taken it; only did the Premarin for a year then did the "natural" stuff. Still sweated and palpitated just the same.

Waaay Keeoool!!! Stared at it for a minute.....just watching all that info. phlash before my eyes! Boggles the mind....but would be a great meditation enhancer!! :P

Waitin' patiently for the new psille arrival....right there with KurlyNaNa! :D

Poooooor poooor ol' GjEyouSS! Havin' to work...in Havaya! Nice you had some free time to have some phun. Would still love to be there too! Even if I had to sit and listen to yer presentation. (yeah, yeah, I was there! Really! You probly couldn't see me cause I was sittin' behind the lady with big hair :P )

Haaaaannnngg on Psuessy, Psuessy hang on! Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah (imagine music notes here).

Pah-tay...hope your poisoning problems are short-lived! Kills me, how sneaky that crap can be!

Speaking of Crap.....I found that sympathy that Em-in-Em was looking for......in the dictionary....right between *sht* and syphalis! :lol:

Psuess.....Peaches is just fine. We adore her no end!! She still thinks she should be able to balance on 2 feet, and walk that way. She is NOT a lap cat (much to our dismay), and will tolerate being held for short periods, but seems to have a fear of being "held down" (at least that's our feeling). But she loves to have me lay on the floor with her, or on the bed, and we can do the cuddle and purrrrrr that way. Makes me wonder just what her first weeks were like. She is still hunting and dismembering many crickets, exercising her right to cruelty on hapless helpless victims. She also has come to expect that at suppertime she will get her share of whatever we are having......tho' she does not always agree that what we are having is particularly pleasing. <_<:lol:

Wishing happpy, healththy days to you all.

Keep it shiny everybody!

A girlfriend called me not long ago and asked if I wanted to go out for a drink that evening. I couldn't, so after a pause she asked, quite seriously, "Is Jack free to go out for a drink?" :rolleyes:

Congratulations, Gramma Leeeesargh!

October 23rd.. .. . . ....so she is right on the cusp - - Libra-Scorpio.. . . . ......

Being born on the cusp could be described as standing on a threshold between two rooms, not exactly in one or the other, with the ability to step either forward or back depending on what's happening in your life. This can be the source of flexibility and complexity, or it can be the cause of a great deal of confusion. Some cusp babies literally feel pulled in two, as the zodiac signs right next to each other are different in element, quality and presentation.

Libra/Scorpio Cusp (October 19-23)

Libra is ruled by Venus, is an Air element and Cardinal (active) in quality. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, is a Water element and Fixed (stubborn) in quality. Libra's gift for love, for balance, and for partnership makes strange bedfellows with Scorpio's tendency for secrets, drama and deception. The best use of all this dynamic energy is to create life transforming, creative relationships between people or organizations.

Sounds like a complex, wondrous li'l girl!! :):)

      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.
