Can you see the potato mess?? 'Cause the rule is . . . If you can't see it, you don't have to clean it up. . . Just like when kids walk by doggie duty on the carpet.

doggy duty? . . . doggie doodie? . . . doggie doody? . . . dog sh!t.

If you can't see it, you don't have to clean it up . . . This is also why I never look under or behind furniture . . . and why I shower with my eyes closed.

Janet, is that you on that lovely chestnut filly? (Just looks like a girl horse to me...) You look adorable and horsey at the same time. :D So it seems that now is the time to post any pics we might have of ourselves on a horse. Must go looking through Walmart frame department tonight....

:lol:

Yes that's me on Bev's horse. You don't need to have an actual picture of yourself on a horse . . . just use your face and Bev's horse. . . Bev's nice that way, she'll let anybody take a ride on her horse.

OMG.....Yes, you most certainly SHOULD. Have a swig, then march over to the b!tch's cubie (woman who called you a stalker) and you'll easily be able to tell her that she has a face like a can of worms, or sumfin'.....

gawd :lol: :lol: you are MAD :lol:

Yeah, another chameleon picture!

So guess what . . . my brother officially has Celiac disease. I informed him he should be tested after I was diagnosed but he didn't want to be . . . Brothers <_< . He did however later go gluten-lite upon my urging to see if it would help with controlling his bipolar II (mostly depression) symptoms. Well, he finally got the blood tests and they came back positive. He's not going to do the biopsy. I don't know what to think. I didn't want him to have celiac but I'm glad that he got diagnosed. He's a smart guy and a pretty good cook so I'm sure with my and my dad's help he'll be successful at going completely gluten-free.

It's weird, neither of my parents have/had celiac. My dad got tested after I was diagnosed and was negative and he has no discernable from gluten. I really don't think my mom had celiac; she was pretty much the picture of health. Her mom however died from intestinal cancer when I was very young and I'm pretty convinced that she did have celiac. Celiac disease is kind of frustrating; I wish more was know about it's inheritance and non-genetic factors that might contribute to its onset. Because obviously at least one of my parents (maybe both) were genetically susceptible to the disease but didn't get it.

So cute :D

Alex, that's really something about your brother being diagnosed. I certainly understand your mixed feelings, but now that he knows he can start healing. We hate for our loved ones to be sick, but it's so much worse when they're sick and don't know the root cause.

I would give anything for my sister to be tested.

And I wish my dad would get an "official" diagnosis, as well.....

Speaking of dad, he's cracking up the nurses, doing impersonations, telling stories to whomever will listen. He does quite well in hospitals, as he's got an ever-changing audience in place. :rolleyes::D

Okay - - here's something mildly phunny.

Now - - Kissey arrives in various vehicles. The Jetta, the motorcycle, Ford Expedition from work, and now today, a rental car (Phord Phocus) as Jetta is in the shop. So now - my neighbors probably just think I'm a ho'. :lol:

Oh NOOOO- I bet they think you're a Bisexual ho!

OMG - just now - I saw a new thread entitled "diaper creams" but - I misread it to say "diaper DREAMS" and fleetingly wondered if that was a new kind of cookie er sumfin :lol: :lol:

OMG- read a sign at the store the other day as "Raffle for Rabies" (it said babies but WTH are they doing raffling off babies? :huh::o)

)

And I saw gas is now 3.29....do they think I have money falling out my bum???

My mom always said it didn't grow on trees so I thought it did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'll drink to that :):)

OMG- once I'm done with abx, I'll drink to ANYTHING!!! We'll need a video conference cocktail party!

Yes that's me on Bev's horse. You don't need to have an actual picture of yourself on a horse . . . just use your face and Bev's horse. . . Bev's nice that way, she'll let anybody take a ride on her horse.

You said besmirch! I looooove that word.

Re: the orchard..... WHAT is their tree-killing-problem!? You should file a ground breaking lawsuit because they are sucking all the air and beauty-calm-producing-life out of your environment.

Alex... I am so happy that your brother got a diagnosis! Of course we don't wish this disease on anyone, but thank goodness now he knows and is going gluten-free. I wish my brother would consider getting tested or try going gluten-free. He has chronic, severe heartburn. Heartburn is one of my glutening symptoms. My grandfather suffered chronic severe heartburn, and died of esophageal cancer. I personally believe that he was an undiagnosed Celiac. Several of my other relatives on that side have symptoms as well, but they all ignore it. :(

It's 4:20 am here. I woke up coughing my head off, and I'm waiting for the Nyquil to kick in. (And eating strawberry ice cream. Hmmm, I need to order some gluten-free cones... for the kids of course ;) ) The steroids have helped my throat so much though- it's a major relief. My throat had gotten so swelled and inflamed that I was beginning to gag on my own spit- I couldn't swallow much at all. :blink:

But the weird thing is, I've been having strange hot flashes all night. Not really sweating hot, but my face and chest becomes really hot and BRIGHT red- like I've been sunburned or something. If I put my hand up by my face, I can feel the heat coming off. Then after awhile it goes away.... then comes back a little while later. Bizarre... I'm on a ton of meds right now, but I think this is from the steroids...?

Lucas's allergies are acting up. The tree pollen is getting pretty high here now. Soon, my Bradford Pear trees are going to beautiful white... I'll have to try to get a pic of the boys in front of them for my av.

And my best friends' mom called me yesterday- her chickens are going into laying overdrive, so I can start buying eggs. YAY! Brian's gonna have to get over his chicken butt cootie phobia. :lol:

I am so glad you guys are here to talk to at 4:30 am. Well.... technically nobody's here, but the board is always here. :P Tom was here a little while ago. I'm starting to ramble, I guess my Nyquil is working. Back off to bed. YAY for Saturday morning- Daddy's here to get up with the kids! :lol:

      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.
