*sigh*

I think I get 'congratulated' again :P (I did fairly well on the math section).

Congratulations! ( tho I don't think this is the kind of contests she is hoping for ;) )

Gads. Just spent two hours putting away laundry. Now that I'm coming out of my math induced haze I'm beginning to realize just how much I didn't do around the house. I suppose I had to wash the clothes to keep from running out of undies, but that's as far as I got. There's enough junk mail piled up to qualify me as a 'hoarder' and we're down to the last bit of kitty litter. Instead of the offered congrats from BE, mebbe I'll ask for maid service instead.

I've been doing non stop laundry since my son got home. Clark bought him a beard trimmer so he doesn't look as scruffy. Today I take him for a haircut and pick up my prize from my painting class. We donated gifts to a foster home and I won first place. It's a load of supplies which is great because I was going to need to buy supplies after next month and they aren't cheap.

OK, I better run before my son showers and uses up all the hot water. Jess, stop thinking about math and keep thinking about congratulations with BE!!!!..

hugs,

Loey

Got the same cold. Clark gave it to me as an early Xmas present. Enjoy the skiing. You're not the type to let a cold keep you down!

The cold didn't, but the foot of snow that we weren't expecting did <_< If I was riding with someone else, I woulda been fine, but I was driving, so that wasn't happening :( I put on my snow pants and boots and went 'snow-Ugging' thru the golf course. Twas the best workout I've ever had!

The rest of the weekend went tits-up. Was one of the worst in history. I, am apparently, a selfish b!tch..... :unsure:<_<

Insert a 5yo Max if applicable..... :P

mine too! :D:D:D

You're not a selfish jerk in the least. You didn't complain when DH changed plans on you. Hope Santa makes this up to you. Wish we were getting snow. We were supposed to all week but only had a snow shower this morning. Of course I'll sing a different tune when it does snow.

My son is belting out songs from Jesus Christ Superstar in the shower (he takes 2 to 3 a day). He's going to need a LOT of practice to make Alcapelo next year (and this is coming from a mother who is very prejudice). He's missing some major notes. He's also in a snarky mood because he misses his friends from Brown and from High school.

Hugs,

Loey

Santa didn't start shopping till Sunday night. I won't be getting much of anything, I don't think. I know my kids got me something. Those are the gifts I love the most!

Maddie sings in the shower too. Actually, she sings everywhere!

If you live in an apartment maybe someone burned something they were cooking. We came home from the movies once and our carbon monoxide alarm was going off. We had the windows open but wound up calling the pfire department anyway. There wasn't a problem but evidently when Clark was putting in the hard wood floors he didn't cover the alarms and dust got in them and triggered them several months later. Glad you're OK and there wasn't a pfire.

I'm ok--right after I posted I saw a firetruck, police car, rescue squad van, and an official pickup from the fire dept arrive just outside the parking garage....but no more alarms or anyone at all in the hall. I called the office, and she said it was fine, they only came out for "a precaution". Needed to make sure since I'm on the 4th floor. ;)

Who knows...this happened once in Texas--turned out to be a couple kids setting off the alarm.

Tony's taking my car to get us (Clark & I) presents today.He asked if there was anything I wanted and I told him a flannel nightgown (when I'm bloated and flaring my PJ's are uncomfortable). He said he wanted to get me something I wanted not needed. I think he didn't want to go into the lingerie department. laugh.gif

He's always gotten me cute presents. One year I worked with the principal from hell and he got me a voodoo doll. Last year he went to build a bear and made me a hippie jew bear (I'm jewish).

I told Clark I really don't want a gift from him because my UI is running out and I don't know if or when I'll get disability or be able to start working. Last year he got me a new iPod.

I'm going out to finish shopping with a girlfriend in a little while. It's taken 7 months but I'm finally making friends here. Part of it was being a hermit because of this illness. Luckily I had all my psillies!!! biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Off to get ready for shopping. I also need to see if I can find Turdunkin (sp?) and if it's gluten-free. Tony suddenly wants that for Christmas. He is the hardest person I've ever tried to feed !!!!!

Yeah. I think if he had some issues he needed to discuss with me, after 4 hours of drinking and playing poker with the guys was not the best time to do it! He usually gets me some pretty thoughtful gifts for Christmas. This year, I think I shall be an afterthought. I'm surprising him with a trip to SLC to visit his best friend he only sees once every 2 years, but whatever <_< I will be putting all my energy into my beh-behs.... And cakes.... Got 3 orders late last week for 6 cakes for the 24th and 1 for the 26th! :)

So glad you're all right!!!! Fires are terrify me. My parents house burned to the ground on Rosh Hashanah one year. It was sewer gas and had been building up and it's like carbon monoxide so no one smelled it. Our entire family was pulling up as the fire trucks were tying to put it out. The phone had melted off the wall so we couldn't call anyone (pre-cell pnone days). Thankfully no one was hurt. You know how they say that your personality comes out in what you grab from the house? I grabbed my dorm keys, my father grabbed the safe box with all of the important papers in it, and my mother grabbed dinner. We went to my Aunt's house and my mother made us eat the chicken. It tasted like smoke.

Thankful you're OK!

Loey

P.S. I called the fire department 2 years ago because I smelled a fire and it turned out to be our neighbors BBQ'ing Clark didn't let me hear the end of it for a while.

Well, we had a little excitement in the neighborhood this morning. We had some guys come through in the middle of the night and steal everything out of everyone's mailboxes. Apparently they hit a different area of town the previous night. They go through the mail looking for the gift cards and cash and dump everything else. The got a prescription for Xalatan for Josie's glaucoma that I was mail ordering. They got about $80 worth of gift cards from the neighbor. Merry Bah Humbug Christmas. Oh well, I'm not out any money, just inconvenienced to run to the vet specialist to pick up a new script. Thank goodness I'm running behind and didn't have more stuff in the outgoing mail. The policeman that took my statement was a cutie . . . although I was in my pajamas and had not brushed my teeth yet . . . I tried not to get too close. :ph34r: He then tried to make the kids think that he was there because of them and that they shouldn't look so surprised and "You, know what you did." :P

How scary and definitely Bah Humbug!!! I'm glad the prescription was all that was taken but it's still a pain in the neck that you have to go back to the specialist. I don't mail gift cards but I do mail checks. Hopefully the (cute) cop will get the guy/s!

I didn't know there was a gluten-free brand. We saw a show recently about how they make popular holiday foods. With the Turduckin, there was stuffing all over the place! The workers took gloved handfuls of it and stuffed the birds but it got all over the place. If they did a gluten-free version, it would need to be done in a completely different room!

Jyaghnutt, that mail thievery sucks! :angry: Well, let's hope that they were young kids, and one of them will rip open Josie's prescription bag, stare at the bottle, break into a huge, disbelieving smile and exclaim, "Whoa, lookit this!! Meds for glaucoma!! My mom has glaucoma, an' she's goin' blind, an' we got no money, no drug plan for medicine! Man, Her face when I give her this - - this won't be such a bad Christmas AFTER ALL!!"

      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.
