<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::)

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!)

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.

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, @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.
