I know that you were ALL likely suspecting this, and were politely remaining quiet, waiting for the Official Announcement.

Out of respect to the throne, and all..... :P

Well.. .. . wouldn't ya know it. .. . . .... . it's the longest day of the year today, and MIL descends on our household.. .. .. .. .

OMG, drinking games.. . . . . . .... . . ..

What a trip, as in trippy, to go from da shortest day to the longest :ph34r: No mean pheat, dat. But my oh my, doth that ole sol rise early ....

As for drinking games, I will take 'em any day over strip poker, eshpeshially when one is l - o - s - i - n - g :rolleyes: at poker :o

then on to the hospital for Terry's cardiology appt.

I think I told you guys he was having tests on his heart - well today was the results of his cardiac MRI.

The doc said it showed that Terry HAS HAD several heart attacks

What the french toast?!?!?!

I have actually took him to the ER many times over the years with chest pain - but it was dismissed as indigestion/arthritis of the ribs etc

The doc said it was quite unusual as he has NO furring of the arteries <_<

He thinks it's either the drugs for his arthritis have caused it, OR, a virus, OR caused by electrolyte/salt imbalances when he was very ill/thin pre dx of celiac disease.

Whatever the cause he has to start an drug to help his heart pump better <_<

Holey smoley, Knickas, what is going on with Tel?? That really stinks :angry: Hope the new med helps him pump harder - or bettah, as the case may be...

American and Canuck quarters are the same size.. . ...dunno about weight, howevah. .. ..... . ..

I may have more success if I were to roll a loonie or toonie down me nose.. ....lots of extra weight/drag there... .. . ..

loonie.webp

Methinks this is actual size. . . ....... . .at least it sure feels that way in my purse.... . . ..

That Canuck quarter will never roll :rolleyes: , in fact could nae be expected to :unsure:

25 C here. About 75, and rare low humidity. Not thinking about the lack of A/C today. . ... . ..!

Has still not warmed up at da lake. Turned the heat on last night:unsure:

Yeah, Bev met Jan-knit and the "entourage".

Well, this is encouraging: just announced on the local news that the Salvation Army "cooling shelters" will be open tomorrow. They open when the heat index is 105 by 11 am.

Had the sales guy out to tell me what it would cost to replace the A/C and heating. WOW! :o

I was in Kansas once :rolleyes: 101 at midnight. :huh: Peeps we was staying with had no air con in house or car :o We died :P

Bagheera walked on the table during dinner. He keeps wanting to eat from our plates. We are trying to teach him that this is a no-no. :(

With the very phluphy MissEm a water pistol worked wonders. Breeders hubby thought it was too cute for her to be on da table at dinnertime - we did NOT. However, she will still only eat when we are with her watching - goes running to kitchen every time one of us goes there, and has a nibble.

Rah-shyellle, you must have to time your meal consumption carefully when you're on shift. I wouldn't want to have just eaten a nice big lunch before I examined THAT bloke.. . . . . .....

Especially not if she had had balls for lunch :blink:

USA and England! Whooooo! On to the next round!

But the Kiwis are going home - with their heads high, and undefeated :):o

Made a thrilling entrance to Incline Village last night :blink: After unpacking the luggage and hauling all the stuph from the garage, ran out of wind, literallly :unsure: Ended up with atrial fib. and unable to catch my breath, no oxygen getting to my brain, a neighbor helped Clay walk me to da car, and spent several hours in ER with repeat EKG's, blood tests, IV meds until it all passed over. If I had been at home t'would not have been a crisis, but since I am not altitude adjusted yet my heart was not pumping very effectively at all. What is it about psoriatic arthritis and poorly pumping hearts??? Tel and I would make a good pair. They could not believe that it all just cleared up and I am phine today. Still, have an urgent call in to my PCP for a visit and cardiac referral, which was one of my goals here anyway. At least he will now know why I is coming to see him :ph34r:

My goodness, our new Kween hath mighty powers indeed! Best stay in favor in the Royal Court if you want some solid ground under your tootsies.

Shroooomie! Lord, I feel I must inform you that your shortness of breath scare had NOTHING to do with my royal ascension -- honestly... . . ... ...while I may be able to get in touch with powers-that-be who could arrange this, I would nevah inflict this on a fellow psilly.

:rolleyes:

Seriously, Shrooom.. . . . how frightening, even if it was simply altitude issues. Stay well!

So, I've got a little boy who has taken to lying about EVERYTHING. He has been grounded, spanked-which doesn't work, I even took his birthday away, which he now has to "earn back" by not lying....What do I do???? My dd went thru this phase around the same time, but it was nuphin like this, and he's SOOOOOO bad at it. He must think I'm stupid if he thinks I would actually believe what's coming out of his mouth. It's gotten so bad that he even lied 1/2 asleep this morning when I woke him up... Me, "Are you wearing clean underwear after your shower last night?" Him, "Uh, yeah..." The kid was wearing NO underwear. GAHHHHHHHH!!!

Any advice?

Actually, Rey-schell, the boys (M, J & hub) are wondering if you have any new dessert recipes we could try out for you. J prefers chocolate but the rest of us like more flavors. I have 2 cookie recipes they and their friends love. They did like the choc cake very much.

I'll see what I can come up with. Do you like orange? Just came up wif a KILLER orange cake wif orange buttercream frosting. Twould seem like too much orange perhapse, yet it tastes like a creamsicle!

I know that you were ALL likely suspecting this, and were politely remaining quiet, waiting for the Official Announcement.

Well, of course! It all makes perfect sense now :P

Ended up with atrial fib.

Did they convert you out of the afib, did you convert by yourself or are you still in it??? Has this happened before? Have you had an echocardiogram to check the size of your heart, specifically the atria? If you're still in it, do they have you on a blood thinner?

Take care of yerself!!!

It's strange why folks feel the need to lie about things that don't even matter :unsure: Yep, needs to be nicked in de bud.

I converted by myself, I believe, :rolleyes: because the IV metoprolol had no effect on EKG after 10 mins. Yep, has happened before - I usually convert after max of 3-4 hours. Never knew it was afib before, just thought ectopic beats and tachycardia. Echocardiogram was on my agenda along with cardiac consult before this happened. My "dimer" wa normal so no blood thinner. I wonder about the lectin problem I have, since lectin is a hemaglutin although to my knowledge had consumed no suspect lectins :o .

Rey-schell, he seems like a smart kid (maybe too smart). My kids tried to pull something & still occasionally try, I'ld ask them something to show them I was on to them. Like "show me the underwear". Then we would laugh and get the clean undies. Other one gets caught and feels bad but I don't think that's yours. If it gets too bad, hub is good with the making them feel guilty. He asks all kinds of stuff like "how will this help". " What is the next step". Very frustrating. I think I would sit him down when you are not mad and have a frank discussion with examples of the lying. He may not even know that he is lying, thus some examples. Tell him he has been lying about stupid stuff that doesn't matter. If he forgot the under wear, don't lie, just say fix it. Mom don't get upset, just make him fix the problem. He's 5, he can't remember everything nor understand (or care) why he should have clean undies.

That's my mom lecture for you...yes, we love orange!

Hi all....huge thunderstorm last night and yea!! I don't have to water the lawn :P Just made it steamier, though, if that's at all possible. <_<

Heard from me son that they're having a heat wave in Jersey--they had better get that out of their system now :lol:;)

Rash-elle....could Max be lying so as to avoid perceived consequences? I always told my kids that they could tell me anything, and as long as they were honest we would work it out--and I kept my promise. It started very early on and to this day we still have that kind of back and forth.

I dunno--he could also be trying to test you to see how much you will believe.

Shroomie--you you feelin' today? :) Interesting theory about lectins being implicated somehow--I swear that white rice or things made primarily of white rice cause my heart to go nuts. I've strictly avoided it since that last time and so far, so good. <phingerscrossed>

I also find that mixed with stress, the effect worsens.

Yes, This is exactly why. I've tried to explain, calmly, that if he tells the truth, he won't be in trouble, but if he lies, there will be LOTS of trouble. It will be a long weekend, I'm sure!

A friend of mine was lied to by her daughter. The next day they went out on errands and my friend kept saying how they'd stop for ice cream at the end. After all the errands were done, they went home. Her daughter said "what about ice cream?" to which my friend replied "I lied. How does it feel to be lied to?" and thence followed the discussion about why you don't lie....

Ooooh, that's devious! And good!

I had talked to his teachers this morning when I dropped him off about it and about 9am I got a call from them. I was thinking-Oh crap, now what did he do? But they were actually calling me to tell me that they thought he had pink eye--came on suddenly cuz he was fine this morning.... :rolleyes: I went over to take a look at him, told them his allergies were out of control, he's constantly rubbing his eyes and like the great mom I am, I forgot to give him his Claritin last night. They said, take him out of the school and he can't come back until the dr clears him for pink eye. Guess what the dr said...Allergic congunctivitis :rolleyes: My poor secretary was babysitting him while I was in and out seeing patients for about 2 hours. They did this once to me with dd. Said she had chicken pox, must take her away immediately. They were clearly little tiny hives, but they made me take her out anyway. Oh well, it's good that they're thorough, just a pain when it's my kid :P

I'm on call tonight thru Sunday morning. Hope this isn't an indication of my weekend.... :huh:

This week has been very slow at work. It seems like everybody has left town. The store is about 6.5 miles due north of the battle zone G20 Summit site, and the downtown area is in virtual lockdown.

The G8 leaders are meeting now about 135 miles north of here. I guess that means we only have a G12 here. :blink:

I just have to share this with the psillies. We have been at our current store location since September 2006. For that entire time, there has been a derelict car in the parking area across the street. The plates on it expired in 2004.

Overnight last night, somebody decided to express an opinion about it.

Jess . . . LOVE that ice cream story and will keep it in mind for future reference. Has not been too much of an issue here . . . and hope it won't be. Skeeter is more likely to lie than Smackl which is hard for me to wrap my head around . . . I was always the straight arrow and me brothers were always evil causing trouble.

Am replacing the whole heating & A/C in 2 weeks! Hope that counts. Don't think I can afford anything else. The kids shower periodically leaks but Hub just fixed it last weekend. Maybe I should just take some wine & hide in bed! Wait! I might spill it all over the bed!

Maybe I'll take the wine & sit in a dry bath tub. That should be safe, right?

      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.
