T'is no wonder you is having an identity crisis :o Psoozle, Soozle, Pseuss, DingoGirl, dern it, who the heck am I? Is I Suze, Susan, Psilllllee??? : Just call yerselph "All of the Above", especially Psilly

Reading this book called Colours: Travels through the Paintbox, tracing the origins of all the pigments used by the original artists, from the oxides used by the aborigines in Australia to the ultramarine in Afghanistan. Just moving on to indigo (I skipped the greens for now because blue is me favourite colour ) Fascinating stuff (pour moi, anyway). Takes you all over the world.

Shroomie :)

yes, identity crisis, indeed!!!

and.... :o so funny that you mention taht book......JUST YESTERDAY I was thinking about origins of colours....pigments......etc...........and then you say you are reading that!! I will look into it on half.com and.......maybe have some energy to read again :huh:

hi sillies

I'm just poping in

can't get my fingers to work

never been so tired in my life but after last nites and all day horrible constant rain..........I'm ready to get the Heck out of PA and into sunny CA

just skimed the posts as 6 pages behind and not time

packed from 9:30 and still going and of yes did eat the dinner I put in the crock pot

ohhhhhhhh I can imagine how exhausted you are, Judith - did you buy a house in California?? I don't even KNOW! :unsure:

Yes, the future's so bright, ya gotta wear shades! B)

You must get yourself a good doc, hopefully the Armour one, and get your physical self straightened out and then the rest, I am sure, will take care of itself. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I am so sad about Sophie. I lost my bestest friend three years ago, and it leaves one so bereft, as bad as losing yer marital partner, yet ye get no condolences or support for it because it is such a private thing and no one knows the suffering. I still miss her every day...

Shroom, did your best friend DIE??? it sounds like it......that is sooooooooooo sad. :( Condolences if this is the case. but - Sophie did not die. Lives right here in Fresno. She didn't even do a formal "dumping" or "breakup" either. Just......what we call a "fadeout" and she is DONE. With me. :( It may be forever, I am sure I wore her out.

Sooooze, I was thinking about you all last night. Funny how we mentally latch onto one small info-byte - - I kept thinking, "Jeez, Sooooze hasn't walked the Weeze since Monday... . ..things must be grim". I think you said that your appointment with the new doc is this coming week. Good!

Thanks, Emmel :) Weez is NOT used to this sedentary lifestyle......she lets out big whiney sighs throughout the day :(

OMG running a 10K this morning? that just makes me soooooooo tired to think about :huh:

Good luck!

Suze . . . we're here for ya . . . :wub: . . . in sickness or in health . . . for richer or poorer . . . GAH!!!! we're married!!!!

we're MARRIED??? well, then you must all get over here and cook and clean, fer pete's sake :lol:

PADS!!!!!!!! congrats on the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! we will need pics soon, luv.....good luck unpacking!!!

psillies- There is fear in the house as I accidentally took a sip of a pumpkin martini last night before realizing it was rimmed with GRAHAM CRACKER crust :angry: It wasn't even tasty enough to make it worth the potential heinANUSness that is to come! Hold tight- could be a long, farty day! :rolleyes:

oh no! :o

and - :gag: that drink sounds positively VOMITOUS, what wiv the graham cracker crumbs and all.....

WHERE IS SLEEZIO??????????? and RACHELLE??????????? and have we lost Mimmsy forever? :( Hate it when Sillies go missing.........

Just got up, going to the couch now :( Must go to Janey's later.....muster some strength.....

thanks for the kind words, me sills :wub:

Oh the wee baby smell

You know sumfin'? I MUCH, MUCH prefer the incredible, heady new-puppy smell......now, IT just does something to me. . . . ......... :wub::wub:

And actually, I have to admit that I think puppies are far, far cuter than human babies.

Really! I'm quite something, I suppose, to be thinkin' that.. . . ...

So far, all is quiet on the Farty Front. I'm very very very tired and achey, but waiting to see. Last time it happened, all I got was the big C. 5 years ago I would have been snockered and vomitous for days so I guess this amounts to progress!

If we're married, does that make King Pieter a SERIOUS polygamist? Or are we split into harems between him and Ptaum. Where's Tom? He's be happy to know he has a harem.

I think Pieter and Ptaum are very brave to be amongst this phairly phemale thread (although there IS much talk about thumbs and what not)..

Uh-oh- Canadian Karen, Altoids and the oral sex thread have made an appearance once again. NOW batten down the hatches :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r::lol:

I think they're trying to kill poor Skaught! :lol:

I would ask for a collective PRAYER or good thoughts or whatever you do for this:

PSEUzle sweetheart :( ... no need to even ask.... we psillies are the collective (like the Borg?) and feel your pain ♥

I am seeing a doctor next week who was listed as a doctor on the Armour thyroid site as one who prescribes same. He is supposed to be excellent, and just may do the correct thyroid/adrenal tests, but I don't know. We all know how frustrating it can be with doctors, and those grey-area issues. :(

Got me fingers double crossed for you lady!! ;)

Dear gaaaawd...did someone say the 'Altoids' thread reared it's head again????? :lol::unsure:

How did the runners do Em?

Bevel drinking gluten cocktails?? :unsure: ...... battening down the hatches AS we speak luv ;)

Whew!.....busy weekend! :rolleyes:

Visit with Alexis on Saturday....got to hold her. She's already trying to hold her head up!

Then a Halloween party that night. Brian and I went as pirates. Brian, of course, going the peg-leg route. There was a magician, two psychics, and a charicature drawer--charicaturist?---and, of course, dancing :D

Sunday---more dancing!

Hopefully, Mom and baby will be coming home on Monday. Alexis has been in intensive care. She has jaundice, which is making her a lazy eater.

Back to work on Monday. <_<

Hang in there, Sooze.......I know you'll find the answers you need.....and we DO stick together thru everyone's worst moments in life. :wub:

So many psillies starting new chapters in their lives.......no jobs, new jobs, moving out, moving in..........mentalpause :P .......hang in there, everyone!

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      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?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      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?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
