Good to keep the sore back warm. I would be happy to send you about 15 degrees of temp.

So, I did the only sensible thing--stripped the bed, put new sheets on and next morning washed the blankie and coverlet. Dusted/vacuumed thoroughly under the bed and fer some reason ran the ceiling phan all day

:lol: :lol: Paghteigh, I can just see you. . . . . . .

Welcome home Rache. No lost here and quite frankly glad I didn't pick up that habit. I AM still watching Grey's. Is anybody else?? I think I may be the last one.

I still watch it!!! I still LOVE it!!! OMG, did you watch the final episode?? My jaw was on the floor 10 minutes in and stayed that way till I started crying towards the end!

Glad Reyschell is back safe and sound. Did you bring back any kilted souveniers?

Alas, he would not fit in my overpacked suitcase ;)

where did you go and glad your home safe and sound

Seattle to see Jess and then onto Victoria for the rest of the week!

Is it Friday yet????

Crap, it's my Monday :rolleyes:

I think I may have herniated a disk a couple weeks ago while mowing the lawn (I knew I shouldn't do chores!!!). My leg's been numb since then and yesterday it ached abominably. Fortunately I spend most of my day not sitting, which is easier, but I can't seem to convince anyone that I could do my job just as well from my bed.

Do you have a good chiropractor? Sounds like you might be pinching your sciatic nerve... Been there done that! The first time it happened, I picked my baby out of her crib, lost all function in my left leg and fell to the floor <_< PT did nothing for me, my chiro had me walking immediately!

'Twill be oppressively hot here all week, and humid. 34 C..... . ...and we are not out of MAY, yet! :blink:

What does my bra size have to do wif yer weather??? :huh::lol:

I phorgot to tell youse guys--2 nights ago I was just about to fall asleep and thought I saw something in the corner of me eye. I turned around and looked, and there was a wee spider on me pillow :o At phirst I thought it was a tick--almost died--but grabbed it wif a white tissue and looked at it wif me reading specs. Twas a wee brown spider. :huh:

So, I did the only sensible thing--stripped the bed, put new sheets on and next morning washed the blankie and coverlet. Dusted/vacuumed thoroughly under the bed and fer some reason ran the ceiling phan all day :lol:

This is like a horror flick to me!!! You did do the only sensible thing for sure!! Once I woke up, flat on my back and a good sized spider was slowly descending from the ceiling towards my face. The only thing I could do was to quickly roll over to get away from it....Only problem was, I rolled the wrong way and my mattress is 4 feet off the floor.....It hurt :blink::P

Thank GOD for glass!!! I was standing next to this hugeamungus window in the ICU today and there was a giant flash and boom at the same time, blinding me in the left eye, I thought something exploded outside, but then the skies opened up and started pouring rain like I've never seen before. DH was across the street and he SAW the lightning hit right where I was! :blink: I'm kinda afraid to go to my car :huh:

Reyshell, I see you are on the forums. Does that mean you made it home safely? What did you do or say right before "God tried to strike you down?"

Indeed. Where is everybody? I have been having intermittent problems with my ISP impeding my access to this site (among others) for the last few days. But it is working at the moment, so here I am.

I've spent the last week running back and forth to a lab across the city to try out a machine my boss wants to buy. Now I'm supposed to analyze the data, compare it to what we use now, and present it at lab meeting tomorrow. Trouble is, the output isn't exactly the same (only one parameter is consistent between the two systems) and I essentially ran three experiments on the new machine, in triplicate (it does more stuff at one time) and now I have, oh.... roughly 7000 data points that I'm supposed to make sense of by 11:30 tomorrow morning, AND have graphs, AND preview the software, AND our cell experiment takes until 9:30 to do. AND I have tickets to Candide so I won't be getting home until almost 11:00 so I'm not entirely certain how coherent I'll be after getting at 4am. I'm not certain how coherent I am now, actually...

We were supposed to get them t-storms yesterday. I'm glad we didn't because I was up on top of a mountain at a microwave site all day. It was drizzly, cold, and VERY windy but no lightning. The thought of lightning when standing in the middle of a half-dozen 150+ foot high metal towers on top of a mountain makes me a little nervous!!! :lol:

Hey, Psilly newbie Korwyn! Welcome to our madness. . . . ......please stick around, as things get awfully funny around here. I have been particularly UNfunny the past, oh.. . . ...year or so. . .. ....but all the others have stayed hilarious, towing the Silly line.

Um, go back about 1,000 pages.. . . ..I think I was somewhat humoUrous then. . . .....

AND -- stick around 'cause we need more MEN here. The last appearance of a male occurred a couple of days ago.... . . it was too brief. This guy:

Yes, welcome Korwyn--if you decide to stick around we will have to come up with a funny (phunny) way to spell your name. :D

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
