I have to say Ptaum, that before you pointed it out (during the previous CeliacS conversation . . . if you want, I'll go back and quote it), I don't think I ever paid too much attention to someone typing/saying CeliacS. Now when I see/hear it, it's like fingernails on a chalk board . . . thanks ever-so-much for the enlightenment.

:D

There's just SO MUCH of it .. . ..AGHHHHH!!

This time it wasn't just because it was in the acct name, but that the post said it 2 or 3 more times, and the celiac in question had just joined the week before.

I also have a gnack for remembering stuff that didn't even happen.

<chuckle chuckle> :lol:

Well! I hope you slept well, Ptaum,

I most certainly DID sleep quite well, thank you.

Sarah, no smoking mountain in addition to its absence in your hand, mouth & lungs??

Today's the Las Vegas wedding! Of course, hoping Kissey2 catches all of the marital projectiles...

Hehehehe the nuptials were high noon Sunday :P

Bah! Bien sur.......I knew this..... :rolleyes:

So, my mom's eightieth birthday is next week, and we've long been talking about a big surprise party for her. Well, last week when I had the family over for dinner, she said about five times, "I do NOT want any party!! I mean it! Nothing! Just call me and say Happy Birthday". So we told her we were going to have a birthday party for her, and simply not invite her. She seemed quite happy with that, failing to sense the ridiculousness of such a plan. :huh:

...This is my life...... <_<:lol:

Where is everyone? Patti? Nikki? Sarah? And we haven't heard from Alex lately...I think about Colin all the time, and I'm dying to hear how he's doing...

Hi Emily :)

I'm here--in and out. We had a busy weekend and today I'm cleaning and dealing with about a ton of laundry :lol:

I did come on and read, though, so I'm up on everything sillie :D So funny about your mom's birthday. She'll have fun once she's there with everyone--you are doing a party, right?

My dad turns 80 next week and my sister and I are giving a surprise party for him at her house on Saturday. We'll drive up Saturday morning and hopefully get there by noon (it's about a 4 hour drive). We will spend the night there and spend Sunday afternoon with Mark's mom, sister and aunt before driving home Sunday night.

It should be fun--we expect about 25 people, several of which I haven't seen in a while. I hope my other sister (the one with the depression) will come. With her, we really won't know until that night--she'll either be there, or she won't. :(

It seems as though many of us have parents born in April.....could this be the common thread that binds us? Emily- Your mom...too funny. My dad turns 78 April 19th and he'd say the SAME thing!!!!!!!!

Patti- Didn't know your sister was still the thick of it :( That makes me sad. :wub::( It's a tough time of year.........

OK- I must research Open Original Shared Link :P

Hehe my Dad's Bday is Apr 4th!! :D

Hi Sillies...I am writing from my bed where I am sitting home sick in my Pj's. I was ready to go to work but I didnt get there...I was just not feeling well enough to go. So I napped until 11 and now I am just hanging out in bed surfing the net...

Sounds like a good plan. Feel better soon! <that's an order .. .oh damn .. . ..my authority was usurped pages ago>

Patti, such a shame about your sister .. . .. :(

Am I recalling correctly that she doesn't believe diet can do that and gluten-free isn't worth a shot?

Yes!! I shall phone my mother this evening, tell her it's all solved...My brother, sister and I will continue to organise a big eightieth birthday party, only it will be for PATTI'S DAD, and she really should come. It's perfect!! Patti, what is your dad's name? I'll need it for the cake. And what size shirt/pants/socks is he? My mom may wish to pick him up something...

Can I have a party for Patti's dad too?? It'll be like the synchronized "lights out" event. We'll have an international Patti/Emily parental unit party.

I love it. My mom wanted NO Happy Birthday stuff from anyone in the family, and now there's a whole bandwagon..."Uh, Mom....many, many peoply are celebrating your eightieth today, kind of like the simultaneous lights-out-around-the-world thing"... :lol::lol:

Oh, man...how many people do we know whose lives could completely turn around with this diet change? I lost count in my circle some time ago...sometimes it threatens to make me crazy with frustration! :angry:

Gee, it's been pretty quiet in Sillyville today.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, Manda, hope you are better soon.

I hope Sarah is doing well, I haven't heard anything. She was last on the boards about 11 hours ago.

Parental birthdays, is it. None in April here. February and August, and for both of them, 80 has come and gone. But we can still all have a celebration of sorts on the seventh.

Another April Birthday! Another common thread amonst us Sillies :rolleyes:

Thanks Tom, about my sister....yeah, she had a breakdown and was hospitalized last year for several weeks on two separate occasions. I have explained the Celiac link, sent up reams of articles and other information--and to no avail :(

The kicker (and something I can't believe I'm the only one in my family remembering) is that several years ago she saw a Kinesiologist who put her on a diet that omitted gluten among other things. She reported then that she felt the best she had ever felt. Slowly as she reintroduced other foods, she began this horrible spiral downward. She hates conventional doctors and won't seek testing--her husband is no help at all. I have appealed to him every way I know how. I've hit a brick wall....

It will feel a little akward if we see him this weekend--I was a bit pushy at one point. But at least I was trying to help. <_<

Hello Sunday Sillies- Welp, Susie's in Vegas (what happens in Vegas stays there? I always figured if it happened across state lines that rule applied- what makes Vegas so special?).

Well, I've been to Las Vegas twice, and it was pretty far out. My last visit was in 1993, and I understand it has just gotten further and further away from reality. The hotels just keep getting bigger and bigger. In 1993 we stayed at Harrah's and thought it was big, but at least three new properties more than twice the size were under construction. I've been to Reno a couple of times, and would much rather go there.

It sounds like you had an interesting and exciting time, Susie. You must tell us all about it.

Party next Monday! Oh, yeah! B)

Patti, our anniversaries are only 4 days apart! :D Brian's and my 8th anniversary is tomorrow. Yup, we got married on April Fool's Day. (I was destined to end up here with the sillies eventually. :P )

Weelllll, I did smoke a few cigarettes today. :ph34r: But only like a quarter of what what I normally would, if not less. Still working on it.

Welcome back Susie! Eek, on the barfing! What happened!?

Morning, Sillies!!

Happy Anniversary, Sarah! I was going to come on with some insane story about my dad being a Roman gladiator last night when we visited him, and seeing the yeti sitting in a McDonalds on our way home, and then proclaiming, "Ha!! April fools!!"

Then I realized that I do this kind of thing every day... <_<:rolleyes:

Well, I've been to Las Vegas twice, and it was pretty far out. My last visit was in 1993, and I understand it has just gotten further and further away from reality.

We've been planning a trip there ever since we got back from Europe...our next "far destination"....We thought about this December, but the money just ain't there right now. Maybe in a couple of years. I just hate all this having to PAY for stuff.... :huh::rolleyes:

Party next Monday! Oh, yeah! B)

:lol::lol:

Okay, Susie!....On with the Vegas stories....

      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.

      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.
