You just reminded me that I never washed my pillows from the last time I spilled wine while drinking in bed. I'm sure those are at the bottom of some stack of something as well. May be easier just to buy new pillows at this point.

I had to buy more socks and undies last weekend because I hadn't done wash in weeks.

hmmmmm . . . I see a trend.

Why in hell do I have so many clothes anyway?

Do I really have to answer that question??

:lol::lol:

I'm pouring myself a drink . . . anyone joining me?

Yes! I currently have very low blood sugar - -an excellent thing, as it allows me to pour myself a Bailey's. I shall take it to the fireplace, sit and sip and stare at the fire and our Christmas tree. May coax me husband in there......if not, I'll bring along my ipod touch and chat wif youse guys... .. . .... :rolleyes:

Yippee on Skeeter seeing the lice light at the end of the tunnel....poor girl.

'tis true. That stuff coming down from Vancouver has a rep.

It does even here.....and Shroomie's right- the right coast has ALWAYS been the wrong coast :lol:

hmmm drinking in bed.......

Why does this sound SO great!!!!!!!!!!!??????

Sounds like you don't need to pour yerself a drink - - just walk around the rooms and lick things as you go....

I think we are expensive....you should wait until the new year sales -- you might get two-for-one specials. Or scratch and dent sales, where you'll find a decent Canadian who is a little ugly er sumfin', but still can do yer chores. . ...... :lol:

BOGO Canadiennes! Sweet! Wonder if they carry them at macy's after Christmas. I'd like a new duvet cover, some new underwear, black pants and two Canadians, :lol::huh:

Well, that's just crazy talk!!! Jess, it's awfully early in the morning to be drinkin' . . . unless of course you're still drinking from last night.

Headed east in about an hour. This is normally a 10 hour drive but our endpoint got about 20 inches of snow on Saturday so we'll see how this goes. May be stopping somewhere along the way and making it a two day trip.

I'll be on sporadically (as if I wasn't before) but just in case, Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!! :D

Some white elephant gifts seen last night...........a chewed up dog toy, a gawdy Christmas sweater, 8-track tapes, a box of old reading glasses, a box of petrified biscuits from Popeye's, a used toilet seat.

I'm getting through the holidays by reminding myself that it's almost over ;)

Bye Jan-knit!!!!! Come back safely!!! Don't bring back any convicts!

I think I'm still hung over from Saturday night. My stomach is soooooo sour this morning, can't seem to shake it. The older I get, the longer it lasts....

Odd weekend, 62 degrees at the beach-Oregon coast in Dec.?!?!?! BIG arse Christmas party, lots o fun, except the host lurved my "toe cleavage" and asked to touch it :blink: What do you say to that????? But had a nice time away with the hubbie overall.

Soooooo ready to enjoy Christmas with the fam. Kids are so excited, AND a coworker asked to take most of my call for New Years weekend--hoooorayyyyy!!!!

:lol: Yes, and I must say that was the least serious of the many... . ...changes...... . that have happened with my cars after MIL has brought them home over the years. Missing side mirrors (BOTH sides), missing windshield wipers (snapped right off........how does this happen?), crushed license plates, bits of Jack's bicycle imbedded in the tires, large splatters of blood along the front bumper... . . .....

Truly terrifying.

I actually have not yet been out into the garage since she got home. :unsure:

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By cristiana · Posted

      I'd like to second supplementation.  Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness.  We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and B12, that's a good start.  I am not sure where you are posting from but in the UK normal lab results for B12 are quite a bit lower than in other countries, so you might find if you are borderline you will get some improvement by continuing to supplement that.   I found taking magnesium also incredibly helpful against facial twitches. I don't know about you, but all these symptoms increased my anxiety levels as I was worried about them.  That only served to make the symptoms worse.  So it might be worth looking into addressing any underlying anxiety issues.   I still notice that if I'm nervous, or worried, my blood sugar levels are down, some of the symptoms comes back temporarily.  It's like there is still a bit of a weakness there.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.   P.S.  When trying not to itch the dermatitis herpetiformis, if you press gently on a large area (press with your whole hand) above the itchy spot, the itchiness goes away.  The bigger area of stimulation drowns out that one jangling dermatitis herpetiformis itchy nerve in the brain. For skin care products, I use tallow balm which is absorbed better into the skin than petroleum products or plant products.  Tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite) helps my Dermatitis Herpetiformis spots look and feel better quickly.  Tallow soap and olive oil soap is beneficial as well.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis. Best wishes.
