Multiquoted all y'alls and LOST EM ALL!!! I am sooooo super late, but

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

The charger to our computer crapped out, so I've been wifout since Friday. I hope everyone had a most wonderful holiday! We went to my grandma's (dad's side) house on Friday which is always a drunken blast and then had Christmas day at our house with my mom's family. I'd eaten nuthin but crap for about 4 days, felt bloated and enormous and do you know what my DH bought me?! SATIN leggins..... :blink: Now, I am a firm believer that unless you're a size 2, satin should only be a trim piece on clothing. NOT covering yer arse! He was so excited about this outfit and really wanted me to try them on toot sweet :ph34r: Oh I tried them on all right... Then I cried.... Then I went down to breakfast and ate 2 cinnamon rolls :rolleyes:

I decided to start my New Years BS resolution yesterday, stepped on the scale, cried again, then juiced all day and dance for an hour with Madeleine and Max last night on the Wii. I feel much better today! Then DH asked if I'd go on a date wif him tonight, cuz he's really craving Mexican food....GAH!!!!! :rolleyes:

Whatchy'all doin for New Years?

We will stay home for New Years. Thinking of making lasagna. J has a party not far away. The parents of the party are the most over- protective, smothering parents. :)

New Years Eve we'll probably stay home and fall asleep.....

New Years Day, hopefully, we'll have our family Christmas dinner here postponed from last Sunday.

Do you want to keep away from him? Otherwise go to Spain with him!!!! It can be quite romantic. That's where I told Clark I was pregnant and he proposed. I did the whole nine yards backwards. Honeymoon, pregnancy, proposal and wedding. This is just a suggestion from a loyal, friendly voyeur! Not the honeymoon, pregnancy, proposal, and wedding- just the romance and not even Spain - just skipping the apart time unless you need it.

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. I thought the alone time was BE's idea. Clark did that when we were dating but it didn't even last a day.

Maybe you shouldn't have apart time then. If you can't stay away from each other, then don't :D

There are hundreds of birds in the trees out back! They are so noisy, I can hear them in e house, over the noise of the wash machine & TV! Anyone remember Alfred Hitchcock? :(

Every time I go to my painting class there are an enormous amount of birds on the telephone lines. Then I come out two and a half hours later to find they all crapped on my car so badly I have to take it to the car wash that day it dries. And their crap is red. Are they drinking blood? It adds $10 to the cost of my class each week. AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!! mad.gifmad.gifmad.gifmad.gif

Ok maybe only 72.

You need a joke:

Trevor's New Year's Eve party was an annual occurrence with numerous guests arriving.

It depends what he wants to do :ph34r: I thought apart time could involve "seeing" each other in public places - although that hasn't worked very well in restaurants in the past :P ; you do have to actually carry through with your intentions!

We did this too. Actually, I said I didn't want to be with someone who was drunk all the time and who wanted to mess around with other girls. I wished him well and tried to move on.... He came crawling back to me in no time, sober and monogamous :D

Sometimes they just need to realize what they could lose. :P

Since both BE and I commute, the only time we could really go out is Saturday. Fridays he's not home until 8:30, which is late for me. I suppose dinner in Seattle would work, but he'd still have to drop me off at home, and then leave..... :ph34r::P :P Dunno. Have to think about this. Once the weather improves we can do weekend hikes n' stuff. Not such a fun prospect this time of year though.

And his friends told him if he hurt me, they'd kick his A$$! Loved his friends :)

Maybe I missed it-was if you who wanted some space or him?

I wanted space. It was getting a bit overwhelming with school and work and theater and application for school and late nights and early mornings and lonely cats and so on and so forth. I also felt like all we ever did was have sex, which isn't a bad thing :P , but it would be nice to play too.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      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...

Additionally, I am going to have a urine to test for iodine, after a correlation with it to dermatitis herpetiformis was mentioned in another post. I had read that in my research as well. I am praying that I don’t have that! The dietary restrictions, esp when combined with eating gluten free are horrendous! Talk about malnutrition! Anyway, one step, one day at a time. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself. Not easy.

      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.
