And Tel's heart.... . .... ..LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!! An angiogram will be a good thing.. .......I do hope things are done faster over there than here, but cardiac issues are usually dealt with, I must say, quite quickly in Ontrario. . ... . . ...be thinking about youse guys, Gnick!

Off to watch some o' the highlights of the Olympics (well done Canucks BTW!!!)...

Our first gold medal EVER on home soil, on the sKi slopes. . . ....... a cute 22 year-old lad from Montreal, something of an underdog. 'Twas PHAB!

But Gnick, I truly miss Eddie the Eagle. He absolutely MADE the '88 Calgary Olympics for me and millions of other Canucks. He became an adopted national hero, and we all still talk about him.. . . ...!!

Emily, I gotsta believe you somehow missed Susie's post . . . this is the whole thing . . . you know you can link back to it by clicking on the little swirly grEy arrow at the beginning of the header info for the quote.

:lol: :lol:

'tis our motto, our anthem, if I"ve ever heard it!!

<but then I read the following sentence about your beloved Gus and got instantly sad :( ......what a grand old boy he was!!!!>

Also sad about Georgian Olympic luger........ :( can only console myself with the fact that he died doing what he loved.......but will be SO WORRIED about lugers from now on......

and HEY!! I came on here tonight, whilst watching opening ceremonies, to say hidee-ho to our Canucks.....and no one's here!!! *crickets*

Am four or five pages behind.......just read a bit about our new GROUP job of sheep-herding - count me IN!!!! :lol:

Sills.....FINALLY some good news in my life.........got a new job.......fell into it, landed in my lap, though we'd been talking about it for weeks.........working for some lifelong friends........pinching myself as it seems like a dream......we go to dog park every aft (they have three dogs) and, Jane, the gourmet cook, feeds me gluten-free lunch every day......... :unsure:

<she eats g f , PRAISE THE LORD!!!> fills my tank with gas, sends me home with tons of food..... :unsure:Too good to be true? Pray that it is not....

more details later........just wanted to check in before settling in bed wif my babies to watch the SHOW! I have missed only one opening ceremony in my ENTIRE LIFE (summer 2004, was in mountains)......gots the TV on next to me as I type......ceremonies have not started yet......

Love and miss you all.......will catch up tomorrow :)

I wonder if Jan-it is taking Skeet to the doctor this AM?

You betcha I did. I gots me pediatrician involved in the whole mess. Once again, I was told this is NOT the usual kind of reaction to a med . . . She thinks there is some sort of allergy going on, also, but doesn't have a guess as to what it is (and doesn't think it was necessarily the Reglan . . . but not ruling it out either). She's gonna run down the labs that were done and give me a call later. She has given me the name of a new pedGI which I will check out toot ssweet. She was surprised that the current GI prescribed the Reglan without doing the Gastric Emptying Study.

Glad she's on the case! :) Half the battle is having a doc that will try and figure it out and if not, steer you to someone who will.

Good news on your with-it GI, Jyaghnutt.. . . ..you'll suss this out! :)

Wow Nik....6 weeks?

Hmmph. Such is often the way when you do not have to open your wallet for these procedures.. . ....<_<

My mom had an angiogram last fall.. . ... ..it took a couple of weeks, as I recall. Not bad, and free, but still -- heart diagnostics should be days, I think.

HEY! Question from The Ripper!:

Would you rather hit every red light for the rest of your life

OR

Have your eyes glued shut for three days?

Dear gawd. . . . .......HATE red lights .. ... . ..... ..I do enough waiting as it is.. . ...... . but being blind for three days would be most taxing.

As annoying as it would be, I would have to go wif #1. I would be afraid to be blind, even fer 3 days.

YES! I think it would be most prudent to combine these two situations. ..... .. ....my eyes glued shut AND hitting every single red light at all intersections - - that way I would have constant pockets of time when I could be trying to orient myself, feel around for the pedals, buttons and shifts, pray. . .. . . .....:lol:

JNBunnie1 Community Regular

Y'know, my vision is already so poor that I operate quite blind without glasses anyway, so I'd DEFINITELY go for #2. I can literally cook blind, simple stuff anyway. Red lights forever and ever? No thanks!

Darn210 Enthusiast

Red lights forever and ever? No thanks!

I have to go through a bajillion stop lights before I get to the interstate!!! I'll sleep for the three days thank you very much!!

kareng Grand Master

I might take the stop lights. Its a chance to relax & listen to my music or quiet. Could, also: apply makeup, do hair or eat breakfast as you know every day that you will have the time.

BUT... 3 days not seeing the worn out tshirts, too short pants, too baggy pants with underwear showing, ratty hair in the face that the teens wear might be relaxing too.

Forgot: eyes shut while teaching the youngest to drive might be a good idea.

and now *I* have a question for all of YOU:

How many dogs do you know who have been thrown out of a moving car, sent hurtling onto the CURB, if you will, by an errant SHOP VAC??????????? While said Shop Vac was being transported to one's parents' house??????

:huh:

Well, I am LITERALLY the world's most unfit parent. I am a walking Mr. Magoo, if you will.......total scatterbrain. Probably because I didn't have kids? Not really always looking out for Safety First. :ph34r:

Everybody IS okay.......she's literally licking her wounds.....if I hadn't seen the fall, it would be the funniest thing EVER, you could have videotaped it and sent it in and won money.......I mean, WHAT DOG gets hit by a Shop Vac and thrown from the car? (does anyone remember when she got hit by a rolling pumpkin on the way to my brother's for halloween, and LEAPED out at an intersection???)

alas, we were innocently driving to my parents'........returning their large Shop Vac......Weez was in back of Jeep (seat is always folded down, making the back flat).....looking out her rear side window, as always, as the dingos are wont to do.........I braked and turned right........Shop Vac went HURTLING forward and hit her - she FLEW out of the car and onto the curb :ph34r::o

I SCREECHED on the brakes and got my baby :( she has two nicks in the top of paw, and cut her upper rear pad :(:(:(

I am a terrible person. :(

I am/was shaken beyond belief........stopped everything and went back home....cleaned the wounds........gave many thanks to GOD that nothing worse happened.......went back over to my mom's (believe you me, when Weez saw the shop back put BACK into the car, she was hesitant - but crap from said Shop Vac had spilled all over the back - had to vacuum it out - because Dodo, that's me, didn't empty it before taking it over) :ph34r:

Have learned some lessons.......about being more careful.......driving more carefully......NEVER having an object that can knock her out of car, and leaving window more closed........ALWAYS scrutinizing the house for dangers before I leave, and checking it again a second time........TOO many accidents have happened........and we have been LUCKY........but luck will run out!!! :(

going to bed.........and NOT going to billionaire's house tomorrow.........need a new crown, filling is crumbling (near front of mouth, is apparent) and going to cost about a thousand dollars

:huh:

jerseyangel Proficient

Soozle honey, thank goodness the Weez wasn't badly hurt. Poor thing must have been so scared. We do the best we can but things are still going to happen once in a while. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Try and get some rest now :)

Listen to yourself, girl! You absolutely are NOT! Coulda happened to anyone of us and none of us are unfit parents or terrible persons :blink:

And now you are missing out on billionaire weekend and have a sore toof and paying lotsa money for da privilege. Life is just not fair, but don't you go round talking such rubbish. Take good care of yerself and wee Weezie, give him a hug for me and he'll be all better.

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!! 
    • trents
      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.
    • englishbunny
      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
    • englishbunny
      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣
