Went shopping wif my mama today. She let me dress her up all day and she refused to buy anything because she's convinced she's the biggest heffer ever! :rolleyes: She freakin wears a size 29 jeans, like a size 8... Now I know where I get my body image issues... <_<

I sent him 'how doth the little cat' last night and he returned this whole long commentary about meter and rhyme and use of concrete and abstract and all kinds of stuff I never considered 'cause I just write to express emotion.

It's all very curious.

Does this bother you or turn you on? You're one of the smartest, quick-witted people I've ever met, he'd better be able to keep up with you, you deserve no less!!

oh yeah, and I totally believe in ghosts. When I went to Auschwitz I somehow ended up touring the camp all by myself. It has been left as it was found, the buildings intact, some of them with the collected concrete memories of the inhabitants - shoes, luggage, etc.

I believe in ghosts.

Good Lord. I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to go through there alone..... Oh what the spirits could tell :unsure:

You need to send him another poem.

Oh Mystery Man,

Do we dare to meet?

Are you recklessly messy,

or obsessively neat?

Do you roll your TP to the front or the back?

Do you snore? Do you stink? Dentures covered in plaque?

Are you five hundred pounds? Scoff at exercise?

But most vital of all.... . . . .. . .... .... . ...I need your thumb size.

:rolleyes:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Fabulous!!!

Get over it. You are absolutely gorgeous. And you are an amazing person. You could be twice your size and covered in warts and you'd still be far above 99% of the population.

hmmm. the latter. I'm so used to being a scientist that to have somebody recognize, and appreciate, that sort of softer side of myself is a very bizarre experience. I'm not entirely certain I know how to relate on that level.

I have to skip out to the theater tonight, so we've only scheduled one hour for a drink. It's like having a (what did you call it?) a date call to rescue me if it's going badly, but we both know it's coming. It's a good thing. I'd hate to be impulsive.

Ahhh, thanks. :wub: I have much more confidence now than when I was younger, I just see where it came from now. I've tried really hard over the last 10 years to really focus on my strengths and not my weaknesses. Watching her and listening to her yesterday was so difficult. She's my hero and it was really hard to listen to her berate herself nonstop. I finally told her that's enough, and STOP!!! She bought nothing, but I let her loose in my closet and she found a pair of jeans and 2 shirts. She tells me how good I look and blah, blah, blah, but she still didn't connect the fact that she fit into MY jeans and MY tops.... :rolleyes:

Yes, one must always have the bad date call all set up before a first date. Sounds like you have a perfect situation. I hope you have fun though!

:lol: :lol: :lol: My husband does get a bit jealous sometimes. It's a part of my life that's difficult to be a part of. He wants to know all about you's but gets too confused when I ramble on about who said and did what. When I told DH and transients about Jess's Auschwitz experience, they all perked up. No one could believe you went in there alone. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to handle that by myself. Too emotional.

A joke (not from the kid book):

A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring. The older gent suggested the young one accompany him on his rounds so the community could become used to the new doctor.

At the first house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick to my stomach." The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick?"

As they left the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman. How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?"

"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick."

"Huh," the younger doctor said, "pretty sneaky. I think I'll try that at the next house."

Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with another woman. She complained that she just didn't have the energy she once did, "I'm feeling terribly run down lately."

You've probably been doing too much work for the church," the younger doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps."

As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but how did you arrive at it?"

"Well, just like you at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope. When I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the bed."

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long...

It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
