ummm, maybe I didn't read carefully enough ;) , but where's the yeti in that?

:lol: sneaky reference to another thread!

Seems generic is in a different trial - one w/ 5 groups?

So it's not enough for our Yeti to Lead our parade through blizzards, stay at our homes and repeatedly have Emily measure his inseam - now we must include him in our EVery POST??

(I DID think I saw the 1992 Ottawa Blues Festival's Official Program showed a tall hairy fellow on bass for one of Dylan's opening acts. Must've been Bob's mumbling that led to him being misidentified as 'eddie')

Tom, all I can say is that your versing (n. sing.: written verse, particularly for musical scores) makes every bit as much sense as Dylan's did, or ever has.

:lol:

Heehee I've got the sheet music in front of me and it actually follows the structure & cadence pretty well <Ed Grimley voice> "I must sayyyy" :o<_<

Well, hey, hey, now!.....check out MY cadence, stress and metre in my chorus...I'm figgering it's not too off, considering I didn't have the sheet music in front of me (just singin' it in my head).... :lol::lol:

I KNOW TO WHOM YOU'RE REFERRING!! That's the very Bluesfest I was at, 1992, and the Tibetan diplomat that was part of our entourage kept saying, (in very poor English, I must admit), "That big hairy man on big guitar...he look like mountain creature from my country"....over and over. I just kept correcting his grammar and shushing him. It all makes perfect sense, now....

Tom-nope only 10 pages and the end to my reign. I was married during my reign as Queen and my King needs some attention so I must past my crown to the next lucky Queen or maybe a King! A first for Sillyville!

Ok, I fell asleep ridiculously early tonight, and now I'm up at 2am and can't sleep. :rolleyes: And noooobody's here! *sigh*

Guess I'll do some laundry... maybe make cupcakes... I'm a little wired from my back pills. All that puking and diarrhea last week made my back flare up. <_< Vicodin makes everyone in the world sleepy- except me. It makes me bounce off the walls. I am so backward.

Amanda, yes the Queen's consort must not be neglected! How is he feeling, by the way? Pneumonia resolved, I hope?

Is your king feeling better? This warm-one-day-cold-the-next weather can't be helping very much :angry:

Well--perfect timing, then! :D Yes, most excellent when you show up with the Yeti--I'll send him with a nice, respectable outfit for the kids....Mark won't miss it, believe me, and it will be much more suitable than the shell bikini ;):lol:

Ok, I fell asleep ridiculously early tonight, and now I'm up at 2am and can't sleep.

I hate when that happens--so, did you get a lot done? :P

Mornin' all!

There was an unveiling of sorts up here, and I think I know where our yeti was when he went unaccounted for last week. Looks like he was out west doing some modelling....

Gee, I guess it didn't take them much time to rip the shell bikini off him and get him into snowmobile boots and a tuque... :lol:

Actually the king is slowly starting to feel better, he went back to work last week. One good thing about the pneumonia..John has quit smoking, and this coming Friday will be 3 weeks!!!!

This warm-cold day is annoying. It's going to be December, let it just get cold so we can get used to it.

Well, it's nice to know he's got a payin' gig once he's done painting everyone's ceilings and working a few birthday parties.

BTW - I think they must have done some retouching on the photo shoot. Don't you think he looks younger and slimmer?

He likes the cold--all that fur :P

I think he's getting bored, I have him helping me hang pictures. It'll be fun for him at Bev's niece's birthday party--much more excitement.

I do think so. In fact, they've really stylized him to look like some cute stuffed animal--it's no longer the yeti we know and love. They've absolutely added some hair extensions and air-brushed some fat away.

"like mountain creature from my country"!! LOL I hear it in Latka's voice, from Taxi. :lol:

Not that I enjoy the dreaded combo of correcting people & the accompanying void of dates, but that's not entirely true. <_<

Did King Richard make a wrong turn during a parade? :o

Goodness I hope he hasn't been abducted!! Any unopened mail at the Royal Palace? Perhaps something w/ the address 'written' in meticulously-snipped letters from assorted magazines? (Speaking of which - I think my December copy of Yeti Fancy must have gone to the Phx apt. Grrrrr :angry: )

Would the Queen please have a trusted subject or two go look for a possible ransom note?

Regardless, even if I'm blessed w/ the 1st post of p.400, I'll never be King. Lord was suggested ~p.299, but Prince, or some unpronounceable symbol would also be acceptable. (Overlay these into one?

I am soooo confused... :huh:

In 1992 I was listening to "Wee Sing Bible Songs."

I saw my dermatologist yesterday. She is no longer my dermatologist.

To quote my mom, "The woman at the front desk knew more than she did."

She never did the blood test for Celiac...just the biopsy. WTH!?! :o:blink:

Now I have to get that test done. If it turns out that I do not have DH, then I'm back at square one with annoying breakouts on my arms and legs. :angry:

Skin biopsy??? (as opposed to small bowel biopsy)

Plus (I'm sure you know) but if you've been gluten-free for any length of time it will skew any bloods testing for celiac disease <_<

      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me. Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known. Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well. I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm...

      Thanks for the additional info, @TerryinCO. Can you give the reference ranges for the celiac antibody tests. The scores you posted are not of much value without reference range numbers since there are not industry standards for these tests as far as the the scales they use. What they are testing for is the same but how they concoct the tests is a little different from lab to lab. You will need to repost the original numbers as well as the reference ranges in a new post as you will not be able to edit the original post. Also, unfortunately, it doesn't seem your doctor ordered a "total IGA" test to determine of you are IGA deficient. If there is IGA deficiency, test scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests will be artificially low. You mention that there are genetic tendencies on your mother's side for thyroid problems. Perhaps there is also an inherited tendency for celiac disease on that side as well. It's only in the last couple of decades has the medical community begun to understand that celiac disease has long fingers that extend far beyond gut symptoms.

      Thanks for the replies, Trents and Knitty Kitty.   The endoscopy was a check on the Barret's esphagus status (every2-3 years).  So she wasn't really looking for Celiac conditions.  I was not on gluten free diet for the blood tests so no masking of results. The blood tests ordered afterward were (and results);  TTG (Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase) IgA Quantitative -  <4.0 (this is a 'weak positive' I beleive) ;  ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODIES IGA  <1.10 ;  TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGG AB <.82 ; and a CMP. I have been taking a B12 sublingual vitamin. I've been treated for hypothyroidism and GERDs for 20+ years.  Thyroid problems are genetic on my mother's side. With both your experience, I'd appreciate your input.  Thank you. Terry

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Damage to the intestines like your doctor found affects the absorption of essential nutrients.  Supplementing with B Complex, Vitamin D, and minerals like magnesium help ensure you are absorbing vitamins your body needs to heal.  Weight loss is often seen in the malnutrition that accompanies Celiac Disease.  Weight loss, Barret's esophagus, and hypothyroidism are related to Thiamine Vitamin B1 insufficiency.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and other vitamins and minerals. Best wishes for your new journey with Celiac.  Keep us posted on your progress.

      Pancreatic elastase is a digestive enzyme that requires Thiamine Vitamin B 1 to be produced.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin, too.  Thiamine, Niacin B 3, and Pyridoxine B6 are needed to make digestive enzymes and turn carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy for the body, and for repair and healing of the body.  The Gluten free diet can be low in the eight essential B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Supplementing with the water soluble B vitamins can ensure you're absorbing sufficient amounts of B vitamins to keep the body healthy.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamin that helps heal the digestive tract.  Benfotiamine and Vitamin D help to reduce inflammation and calm immune responses, so if you are accidentally exposed, your autoimmune response might not be so bad. Supplementing with the B Complex vitamins is beneficial while healing.  Have you talked to a nutritionist?

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.
