Yeah, Jess, the more clothes you buy, the more you eventually have to wash.

This evening is the fifth anniversary of my first post on the board. I lurked for several months before signing up so I could respond to a survey by a high school student who was also a moderator at the time. Molly isn't here often, but I see her on da book frequently.

Celiac, diagnosed by biopsy June 2000

Type I diabetic, diagnosed March 1986

Male, age 50

Hope this helps!

Had the day off today. We're back in the store tomorrow and Wednesday, then off until Monday.

Cold weather moving in. Going down to -16C (2F) overnight with the wind chill -27 (-17F).

:angry::angry: I bought these thangs a few weeks ago -- they are completely USELESS in my thin, fine, poker-straight hair. Will NOT stay in, even with some serious back-combing and spray.

I am a lost cause, 'twould seem.

POeter, methinks that you would have better luck -- I'll mail them to you.

Dentist now says TMJ. Starting muscle relaxers. Hope this works.

FIL called last night and has invited himself and MIL and BIL (that I haven't seen in 15 years) over . . . house hasn't been dusted since before Thanksgiving, still unpacking from the Christmas trip, pile of about 10 garbage bags full of quarentined stuff from the delousing stuff still located in the dining room . . . really looking forward to this visit <_<

You wish you had Henry now don't you?? ;)

Oh but UGHHhh on the invasion!!!!!!! - makes you see your house in a whole new light :o

Jyaghnutt's got TMJ! Methinks this stands for Too Much Junk, and yes, your in-laws can help you to clean it all up and out. Take those muscle relaxants NOW.....you will not care about the muddles and the dust. :rolleyes:

I was just contemplating something... . . ....I think I will try one of those useless Bumpits, currently sitting in a back bathroom drawer, underneath my boobs. Now THIS may work....... ..

Merry Christmas!! ;)

And if I get sidetracked again,

Happy New Year!!! :lol:

Meant to get on here and send you wishes on Thursday but twas up to me eyeballs in gluten-free pie crusts and fillings :rolleyes:

Had a great holiday with no drama--except for Max's face after he hit the pavement at 10pm on Xmas eve (pic on FB). Maybe he got into the rum.... :huh:

PSILLIES!!!!

Whatcha get???

I am totally in lurve wiv me new camera!! (thank-you Daniel!!)

Today I am back to work and I begrudgingly had to remove my new UGG boots I've had on since Christmas day, I'd sleep in them if hubby would allow them in bed :P

New guitar, so I will now learn to play and I'll write you all a song! :D

"Kids" got a wii, now my dd and I cannot raise our arms over our heads. Makes getting dressed difficult :rolleyes:

Hope yesterday was terrific for everyone. Today is the Ripper's THIRTEENTH birthday. He awoke this morning with his first zit, right inside his nostril. Good and bad: 'tis tough to get to, but not easily seen. I must relay that one of the first things Jack said as he was trying to see it in the mirror, and I stood behind him commenting on how fortuitous it was, having a first zit appear on the day of passage into teenage-hood, was "Whoa. .. . .. ......you need to tell the Psillies about this".....

I have one in the same spot, hurts to move my face!!

My worst gift EVER? A little ice scraper for my windshield, and actually, if that is the worst I can come up with, I think I'm one lucky goil..... . .it's pretty useful 'round here right now... . . ....

The year my hubby bought me "all things to make my life easier": Floormate (special wet-vac for wood floors), iron, iorning board, blender, dust buster <_<

Nuttin' will ever beat the unisex sauna pants.. .. ......... :lol::lol:

Um, guess where I found the shake weight-----Target!!!!!!! :lol:

Poor Nik--already queasy and has to listen to bones breakin :o Gawd.....I'm wif ya'll on the laundry--had a ton of it since I didn't touch it over the weekend. Just phinishing it up now......

I've washed the same load of whites 3x now because they've been in there for a week and I can't seem to get them in the dryer. You can barely get into my bathroom because the laundry basket has purged itself all over the floor in disgust!

I saw them at Best Buy before Christmas . . . :huh: . . . not something I would have thought I could have picked up there. :lol:

Excellent idea Jess . . . but how horrifing to hear me MIL say "Thank Gawd, I thought you would never ask"

Muscle Relaxants won't be ready until 2pm . . . the visit will be over by then . . . perhaps I can use them to forget.

TMJ = Too Much Junk!!! . . . you don't know how right you are!!!!

If they don't, you won't care anywho :P

I get extremely loopy on those things......even with half a one. Kids at school thought I was quite phun!

We are in quite a quandry over New Year's.

We have been going to a friend's house every New Year's Eve for years. It's a tradition. This year we have also been invited to another friend's party. The same place we went for Halloween. He has hired these people from a dinner theater murder mystery to perform, then dancing after that. So do we stick with tradition? Split our time between the two? And if we do that........do we attend the dinner/murder mystery part (which I probably won't be able to eat), or the dancing part?

I would laugh till I peed my pants if someone said this to me. If you are someone who takes pleasure in either cleaning, or a clean house, more power to you. I, however, prefer to deal with the mess by simply going somewhere else so I don't have to see it. It all just gets messy again, why do anything?

Jess, you are invited to come to my house anytime you want . . . :lol:

They lasted 45 minutes. Right before they came over, my FIL called to say BIL is allergic to dogs . . . poor JoDog, she really enjoys company . . . so after 45 minutes, BIL could no longer breathe. I did vacuum up the dog hair tumble weeds that were blowing through the kitchen prior to their arrival but there are layers upon layers of dog hair here . . . just no way to get rid of it all . . . probably stirred it all up during the vacuuming, too. Oh well, the house is a tad cleaner because they came.

Mornin', Peeps! I know, I know, but it is here.

Ah, bless his heart. He is planning on being a busy lad! Just hand him his "mother's little helper" tools every Saturday morning and say "Thank you so much dear!". :lol:

My sister gave us a ceramic pukeko (native. colorful, . semi-wading bird) which has red iron legs (two) and there are three!!! holes in the bottom of the bird for you to figure out how he is supposed to stand. Of course you nae can have him standing inside unless very!!! deep pile carpet, so next problem is where to put 'im outside where the wind wont blow the poor wee fellow away on his long red stilty legs which just insert somehow into his body :o In our climate I will need to glue them in and tie him down, I reckon. For example, when I started this it was a calm sunny morning; now there is rain spattering on the windows and the wood pigeon on the telephone wire is clinging on for dear life in the face of a howling south-wester :rolleyes:

T'is cruise ship season, and every other day another unsuspecting shipload of visitors disgorges on our shores, not knowing wotinell to expect. Yesterday, the Vollendam with 2000 passengers descended on poor wee Stewart Island, way down at the bottom (nearest the Antarctic) and this same southerly bluster greeted them. At least Oban is on the leeward side. All 600 residents set out to make these folks feel welcome and enjoy the wonders of a pristine environment, and apparently a good time was had by all (pictures on telly of Americans eating crayfish and fish and chips, and of a lone 13-year-old lad serenading them ashore from the tender with his ukelele singing a slightly out-of-tune song--quite sweet really :rolleyes: )

Hope you are all having a great day.

Q:Can I bring the kids?

A: Yes & Yes

      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.

      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.
