Don't think any of us want to be here. Weather nice today 82 no humidity. Weather man just said "Heat and humidity return for the Holiday".

I'm sure if you go the the American Embassy near you and explained that this was a Psilly emergency you would be given an immediate Visa.

Do you need a visa? Just show up! Come to the 4th of July parade on Bainbridge. I'll be marching with the theatre group, somewhere between the fire trucks and the boy scouts probably.

:lol: knick-knacks :lol:

Been phollowing all yer summer phun banter--been busy today wif photographer ....the new realtor really knows what she wants. It was like a movie set in here. B) She's all about the right "angles" and "wide shots" and "the right lighting"--a real phirecracker, that one!

Jan-it, when I called Johnson and Johnson to make sure about the baby shampoo, I found out they are going to be introducing a new "naturals line". She didn't have much info, but it should be in stores soon and then they'll have gluten info and such. She only had info on the lotion, which is gluten-free. Thought you might want to phile that away in case Skeeter has to switch at some point.

I'm thinking maybe on the order of California Baby? But easier to find.

Actually, around here it a Visa, Mastercard or American Express. As long as you have one of those, I'm sure my city would welcome you.

I realize I'm coming in late to this conversation (stupid job) but I have a few ideas! Patee, are you sensitive to coconut? If not maybe try the Tropical Traditions website. I have a handpump lather soap that has one ingredient- saponified virgin coconut oil. Seriously. Not that I would use it on my hair regularly- I did try it once, gave me tangles you wouldn't believe. But they have lots of different kinds of products that are really icky-chemical-free. They even have a shampoo bar! Also just the one ingredient, if you want it unscented. The only scents they use are essential oils, so if you tolerate those you might be able to enjoy a scent.

Also, with the California baby, make sure it says unscented, because they tend to put smells in everything else. My 'calming' face lotion has a rather strong scent, actually.

There was something else I was thinking of, but I can't remember since I can't go LOOK! Fireworks are coming!!

Trash day . . . prepare yourself . . . had lots of rain and raccoons in my (large) bird food bin . . . big time nastiness . . . :greenguy: . . . I put the whole thing, bin and all, into a giant garbage bag and stuck it in our trash can. Still left a trail of putrid slime and maggots. The smell was gagulous. Had to clorox the trash can.

We are trying to fit in a few days in LA to go to Disney & Catalina Island. J (17) came up with this idea: We should be able to go to the front of the lines because I have a "disability". I said that it doesn't effect my ability to ride a ride or stand in line. He said we have to get the ride seats/cars wiped down before I ride incase some kid had crumbs on his fingers. That should get us to the front of the line. B) Always looking for a way to beat the system.

The hurricane will miss us, but we're in fer a couple days of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and local phlooding. It's already very gray and windy out--I had to run to the store quick to get milk. Gotta have me tea :P

Now I can just stay put.

      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.
