Not wearing his cape? Not even his glasses?

Mods, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this forum allows those type of pics. No matter how skinny the nakey person might be. :ph34r:

( The last one had on a Santa hat)

He not naked - I save those pics for me (tee -hee). Just younger and in better shape. I just put my turkey in. I'm cooking it at 350 not 325 because my oven is not accurate. Tony got up a little earlier today than usual. He's been sleeping until 11:00 or 12:00. I miss the days when he believed in santa and rushed into our room at 5 AM. We were able to put the presents out the night before. Clark already had one of the books I bought him (2 Jon Stewart books). Tony LOVED the Enormix Condom as well as the gliding Jesus action figure and some kind of unicorn action figure set Clark picked out. Tony bought me a beautiful Swarsky Crystal Butterfly that says I love you on it (I collect them and when he was going to some of the graduation parties for the girls he was close with I let him give them a few of my pieces). He got Clark Kill Bill I & II.

We're staying home and having a laid back Christmas. it's only 11:00 but I'm thinking of having a glass of vino.

Wishing all of my dear psillies a very merry Christmas. I count my new pfamily among my blessings!!!!!!!

Not sure if I ever told y'all about the end of my ex saga.

He was renting the spare room in my house, which I thought was a great deal for someone since I leave at 5 or 6 am and get home at 7 or 8 and pretty much go straight to bed, but he didn't seem to like it. Anyway, Feb? March? of last year he told me he was putting his stuff in storage, going to visit his parents, and getting an apartment when he got back, and could he pay me the last of the rent later. I said sure, just post date a check for whenever. He wrote it for September, and I forgot about it til a week or so ago. Meanwhile, he comes back from his parents, doesn't speak to me at all (and he works in the store where I shop) and I find out from one of the tellers that he came back with a wife and child. So he's been married for months and never told anyone, just showed up with a family. :P

And seriously, if he had spoken even a word to me in the last six months I would have returned his check and told him to get something nice for the baby, but I'm really into that reap/sow thing.

You better cash that check girl. What a bizarre situation. BE is SOOOOO much better for you. Any chance of seeing him today?

Holiday Hugs,

BE and I are taking a couple weeks off to remember who we are. He's also blowing off family today to go skiing. It's been a stressful month and we've been each other's comfort and neither of us want that to define us. We're doing other friends until after the new year, and then he suggested we have a 'first date' so we don't get caught in any dating ruts. :wub: :wub: He called yesterday, and I'll leave cheery message on his phone for him to hear when he comes down from the mountain today.

Just hanging out, waiting for the gluten-free brownies to cool. Then I am putting a thick peppermint icing, then cool the icing. Then a layer of melted chocolate. Am making these because M loves them when my neighbor makes them. And, since he doesn't love ham, I thought he should have something he really likes. Wuld put them on the screened porch to cool, but the squirrels are having a Xmas feast of corn, peanuts & sunflower seeds. Don't want them to think I'm serving dessert!

Good to see you here GFinDC!!! You've been missed. I meant to PM you that I won the big holiday raffle at my painting class. it was a 3 foot lighted tree (gave the tree to a pfriend who needed it so DH wouldn't strangle me with the cord). Anyway - it was decorated with supplies (tubes of paint and brushes). Just in time as my UI will run out (pfingers crossed I'll get Disability until I'm able to work). After a certain amount of classes you need to purchase your supplies. Every year the teacher finds a holiday cause and this year it was foster children. So pfor every present you brought in you got a raffle ticket. I would have brought in presents even if there wasn't a prize and in all honesty i never looked at the prize table.

Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year!

Holiday Hugs,

Loey

      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.
