Tis quite quiet here this morning. Methinks all our American phriends must be sleeping off yesterday's turkey, or making forays into the world of shopping.

Here in Canada, it is just another Friday.

We took Oliver to the vet this morning because his sugars were running high again. Poor guy has another infection, this time in his right ear. So we are starting another two-week course of antibiotics. :(

We're off to the store in a while. We will take tomorrow off, giving us our last weekend off until after Christmas.

I wanna go hang out wif Jyesss!!

Were you wearing classic two-piece flannels, with big wooden buttons down the front and cuffed pants? Trap door? SUCH fantastic drinking attire... . . . .. . . ..!! Actually, fantastic fer doing just about anything. Getting groceries, doing weights, trip to the theatre, job interview...... . ...... ..a do-all ensemble.

My friend who arranged it said the point was to be comfortable. I had flannel bottoms and satiny/sleezy top wif a sweatshirt over all. Jammies are the way to go if yer drinkin', and if you over-indulge you're prepared to pass out anywhere...

Hi ebbreebubby . ...uhhh

Hope all the Thxgivings were appropriately worthy of much thankfuliciousness. :wacko:

Been so long . ...too long . . ..wish I still had some psilly sometimes . .. ..

Almost 2yrs now since I felt (mentally) good every day. <sigh> :(

Does Amanda still visit? I read sometimes & don't recall any from her.

Hope she & Joolz & Sarah are doing ok.

Is Judy in CA yet?

Had a doc ask me if I wanted to be tested for Lyme the other day. She mentioned she knows the one around here who's well-known. Forgot why I'd ruled that out in the past.

Bah . .I dunno wtf I'm doin'. .. . . .

Dammit, can't even think of anything good to say, which is a big BIG part of why I don't bother posting.

<crap . ..should I erase that? . ....>

Ahhhh I bet that's true in every other g*****mn mo*****uck** industrialized country in the world .. ...

Not here.

Not when there's PROFIT to be made!!!!

And we can't change it cuz some a$$holes would rather make political hay. "It'll be his Waterloo", one o' those jacka$$es said. (Jim DeMint R-South Carolina)

Too insane that it's really this way.

For-profit Health Insurance is by definition not on the side of the citizenry. The more care denied, the more profit "made".

Anyway .. .."nowt to lose" becomes probably $600-1000 once I do the referral appt, the pre-test appt w/ the specialist, the test itself, & the post-test appt.

Besides whatever made me rule out Lyme long ago, could it at all possibly fit to have 6 of the greatest months anyone ever had in the middle of being a Lymie? :huh:

Have I ever mentioned how I became uninsured?

[Didn't think so]

Once I quit my job due to celiac (but years before knowing it WAS celiac), and COBRA ran out, I tried to get Health Insurance. Like 8 or 10 or 12 pages of forms (horrendous btw - I was nearly infukncapable of filling out even simple forms, for whatever reason) only to be told that I'm denied for the pre-existing condition of having SEEN a doctor years before about back problems.

Not for having actual current back problems - there were none worth mentioning - just for appts YEARS before.

I should stop before I get too worked up to sleep . .. . .

GOOD MORNING, PTAOUGHMGHMNUSS!! :)

Often when I've seen a number of guests reading along, I've wondered if one of them could be you..... .. ...HOPING, I guess.....

Really great to read you again! Just wish the news was better. Incredible that with all of the extensive testing you've had done that nuttin' has shown. . . . ...... ....crazy, really... .. .... :huh::(:angry:

But the one thing you have not been tested for is lyme. I'm actually surprised that you haven't had the blood work done for it, as the symptoms are quite similar to gluten problems.

We sat and finally watched "Sicko" last week.... . ..boy, would Michael Moore ever have loved to run into YOU whilst gathering on-the-street arsenal for this documentary. . . . . .... . ... :(

Thinkin' about ya, dear Ptaoughmghmnnhusss (man, I haven't missed spellin' that name....... .).. . ...... :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear you still don't have the answers to yer problems.

It is quite apparent that what you need is to be back in the bosom of yer psillies! :P

I often think about Sarah and wonder if she's reading along.......miss her greatly. :(

.....and speaking of insurance.......

Hubby got a call from the prosthetist, saying we still owe another $1200 for his new leg. I guess insurance paid for the leg, but not the foot :blink:

Our EOB says we owe nothin..........so there!!!

OMG.... .. . . . . :huh::lol: .. . .... . ...well, yes, it makes perfect sense, and I am certain that we can all see how the insurance company's stance is logical and reasonable. After all, it was Brian's LEG that sustained the irreparable damage, correct? So, why in hell should they pay for anything more than that? His foot was okay, so hey.. . . ......not payin' fer THAT part of the prosthetic. :huh:<_<

:angry:

Leeeesargh, did they offer Brian an option to keep his foot, and continue using it? I'm bettin' not.. .. . . ........

SO macabre. And you are incredible, Leeeesargh, as you can laugh about it all.

Eeeewwwwwww!!!!!! Really gross visual images in my head :rolleyes:

Maybe I already told you all, maybe not.......

When we went to the Halloween party as pirates, some people there didn't know us or our story. This one lady started feeling around the back of Brian's thigh and asked, "Where is your leg?"

His reply........

"In Houston!"

:lol:

Hello Psillies! happy Psunday!

Jess- Go get that kitty NOW!!!! Jazzpurr looks awesome! I want to drink margaritas in a bar in me jammies! Sounds like Heaven.

Ptaum- I'm bummed I missed you but am glad you stopped in. If you are reading this- yes, you should get tested for Lyme. I know the whole darn thing is ridiculously expensive but if it's the last part of the puzzle it's worth it!

Lisa- That insurance company needs an arsewhooping!

Em- Did you watch the Senators/Bruins game last night? Did you see me :P ? Your Ottawa Senators are most excellent! We did beat you but only in an overtime shoot out...didn't think it was going to happen as they whooped our arses in the first period! I kept thinking you should have been there! Twas looking for Sophie in the goal (not a job I'd ever want with a hockey puck flying at yer head at 100 mph). :ph34r: :ph34r:

NO! I was watching for her on TV. Thank gawd, actually, I wasn't there, for it was an excruciating loss. But OMG. ... . .. .. . . .....if I could have been there and met BEVEL!! There could be Romans feeding Christians to the lions in that arena, for all we would notice, Bev and I sittin' together... . ... . . ...... :rolleyes:

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      From the article you linked: "Currently, there are no recommended methods to test for non-celiac gluten sensitivity." "No recommended methods" is the key phrase here. Just on the anecdotal evidence of reading many posts on this forum, I think we sometimes see some elevated igg test scores with NCGS. They seem to be mildly elevated in these cases, not high high.

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

      Reply to Russ H, Thank you for your input. As a nurse for 46 years I was aware of much of this. However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
