Getting into the Christmas spirit??

We are not going - having picnic in the park - prawns, oven fried chicken, asparagus salad, pasta salad, lots of raspberries and strawberries and pavlova.... Weather has been in the 90's but is predicted to cool for Christmas, (but not rain!! :D ) However, whenever you arrange a Kiwi picnic it always rains. :)

My boys thought the picnic at the beach for Xmas is the best idea ever. However, it's a bit cold here for picnicking.

OMGawd sills--I'm eating Orgasmic Ville Chocolate Ice Cream....let me just say I'm almost as happy as Jess tonight :lol:

This stuff is pseriously good :rolleyes:

Orgasmic Ville? Is that in Jersey?

That sounds like a terrific idear. Shrooomie, I was posting at the same time that you were - - your Christmas festivities sound grand. Canna imagine a sweltering picnic on Christmas.. . . ...but I would sure like to try it!

DD has just gotten her drivers license, and has been assigned the duty of delivering MIL where she needs to go whilst here. Drug store, touristy Ottawa places..... . ... . .both cars should stay intact, and all local pedestrians, as well.

The last couple of times MIL took the two kids out for an afternoon of fun in the car, DS wore his catcher's mask and DD her hockey helmet and upper pads -- the two were seated in the back seat and snuck them on whilst she screeched out of the driveway. :blink:

:lol:

She probably never as accidents. All the others on the road have them trying to avoid her.

My great aunt insisted that the reason for the hood ornament on a car was to line it up with the lines on the road. Funny, my dad never let her drive us.

Here's a joke for Russell's Max:

Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were having one of their little father and son chats... lightsabers drawn and sparks flying. Vader pinned Luke against a bulkhead and glared into his face, "I know what you're getting for Christmas, Luke," he said, "Ohhh, yes! I know!" Luke fought himself free and jumped to a higher platfrom just out of Vader's reach, "How do you know!?" Luke yelled at him, "How do you know what I'm getting for Christmas!?" Darth Vader shot Luke an icy glare, "The force is with me... I felt your presents."

I'm a pushover fer my boys too, Loughie :D

Glad to hear I'm not the only one Patti. My girlpfriend that I went shopping with spoils her kids when she can.

I told Tony at lunch yesterday that Clark pfeels like Tony broke up with him. I asked him if he could PLEASE watch a movie with his dad without his computer while I was out. They did but this morning Clark told me that Tony only did it because I told him to. I asked how he knew and he said Tony told him. I asked Tony about it this morning and how it came up. He said his dad asked him where his computer was and we taught him never to lie so he told the truth. Ever hear of a white lie I wanted to say. He's missing his pfriends at school and I'm grateful because he had a hard time finding his niche when he first started college. I just pfeel bad for DH because they were inseparable when Tony was growing up. Tony's out buying us Christmas presents and eating a glutened filled lunch right now. I pfeel like I got a mutation of what Clark has. Neither of us can get into our GP for months since we're knew patients. I think he should go into one of these walk in clinics but he doesn't believe in antibiotics.

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. pfor anyone knew to the thread my DH's name is really Rob but I'm Lois Lane and He's either Clark Kent or Superman (hence Clark)

Did anyone stay up last night to watch the eclipse? BE and I sat on his deck freezing and watched the end part. 'twas quite nifty.

And I'm quite tired today.

My son did and saw part of it. He said it was somewhat cool. He's very nonchalant these days. I want my old Tony back but have to let him grow up (Snoopy sigh). I went to reply yesterday but my computer went kerflooie on me. Elf mischief?

Getting into the Christmas spirit??

Last week, young lad aged about 10 playing Away in a Manger on the recorder outside grocery store at mini-mall. Each time I walked past he missed a note badly in the last line. The third time I waited, he missed again and I couldn't help a chuckle. Gave me a glare!! Last time, I waited and he hit it!! He flashed me a triumphant smile and a left some coins in his cap. :D

This week, same store, two 14-15 year-olds with guitars, playing --- wait for it -- Hard Day's Night :unsure: Maybe they were anticipating Santa's heroic feat :lol:

Same day, driving home for about 12 miles on highway behind a van with graffiti style writing across the back. A formal graphic 0800 number on the back window and a website obscured by the wiper blade, phinally deciphered as webcamera.com. What did the graffiti say? "Crude and Violent Nudity. Occasional Language"!!! Logged on when I got home and I guess I should have expected it - cell phone cameras under bathroom stall doors, all kinds of obnoxious perversity. Who would drive around with that on their van? :blink::rolleyes:

Had my favourite nice and current squeeze to stay last night so that raised the Christmas tone a little - she is heading to Wellington for Christmas with my sister's family, sister's ex and second wife, their kids and assorted hangers on. I understand Viv is erecting a marquee on the lawn :o Poor Viv always get stuck with the hosting - oh yeah, all Viv's hub's family are coming too. We are not going - having picnic in the park - prawns, oven fried chicken, asparagus salad, pasta salad, lots of raspberries and strawberries and pavlova.... Weather has been in the 90's but is predicted to cool for Christmas, (but not rain!! :D ) However, whenever you arrange a Kiwi picnic it always rains. :)

"Had my favourite nice and current squeeze to stay last night " another person us old married pfarts can live through vicariously. Hope you enjoyed for all of us! Clark and I are asleep by 9. Don't get me wrong - he's my sweetie but after 22 years you don't wear sexy lingerie that often.

Enjoy!

'k Doin' my personal statement for grad school. Anybody wanna explain to me why I want to apply to the biostatistics program?

'k Doin' my personal statement for grad school. Anybody wanna explain to me why I want to apply to the biostatistics program?

Because:

Among the important scientific developments of the 20th century is the explosive growth in statistical reasoning and methods for application to studies of human health. Examples include developments in likelihood methods for inference, epidemiologic statistics, clinical trials, survival analysis, and statistical genetics. Substantive problems in public health and biomedical research have fueled the development of statistical methods, which in turn have improved our ability to draw valid inferences from data. The objective of Biostatistics is to advance statistical science and its application to problems of human health and disease, with the ultimate goal of advancing the public's health.

Feel free to cut and paste that into your statement! I did :D

      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.
