Uncle ray (who I will see tomorrow at a family pah-tay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) sends this:

Grandma and Grandpa were visiting their kids overnight. When Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet, he asked about using one of the pills.

The son said, 'I don't think you should take one Dad; they're very strong and very expensive.'

'How much?' asked Grandpa. '$10.00 a pill,' Answered the son.

'I don't care,' said Grandpa, 'I'd still like to try one, and before we leave in the morning, I'll put the money under the pillow.'

Later the next morning, the son found $110.00 under the pillow. He called Grandpa and said, 'I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00. 'I know,' said Grandpa. 'The hundred is from Grandma!'

Uncle Ray strikes again: (my apologies to all the blondes- Uncle ray knows no boundaries :P

Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA Freshman, sat in her US

Government class. The professor asked Bambi if she knew what

Roe vs. Wade was about.

Bambi pondered the question; then, finally, said, 'That was the decision

George Washington had to make before he crossed the Delaware .'

Whoa......funny stuff happening wif me phone line... ..dunno if this'll post or not. Could be outta the loop for the weekend.

Who said bikinis? Gaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....... :o:o

psawyer Proficient

Emily, it posted all right. I'm not sure about people of a certain age wearing bikinis. Of course, I personally would never be seen in one. I totally lack cleavage and am really completely flat in that department. :(

Something on the upside, but not silly. Jennifer has joined the team at our business and it looks like it will work well for all of us. She has a day job, but will work some evenings and weekends We are still looking urgently for another team member.

The $100 is from Grandma! :lol::D:lol:

Amanda is getting some time away from work. Hooray!

Hey everybody! Just pooping in so nobody thinks I died. :rolleyes: Good stuff and bad stuff to report...

End of school year stuff, several b-day parties,etc... Despite constant absences, Lucas passed 1st grade with flying colors, and Ezra's preschool teachers said he should do great in Kindergarten. I've got to get Ezra's graduation pic scanned so I can put it up as my av. What's cuter than a 5 year old in a cap and gown?! :wub:

We've been having lots of outside time, and art projects, and cookouts with the grandparents. Less than a week since school ended here, and we are LOVING summer vacation!!!

I still haven't put Luke on a probiotic yet, but the fiber supplements seem to be helping him!

I've been spending a lot of time with my friend I told you about, who's going through the bad divorce. I've known both of them for almost 10 years, and I cannot believe what a complete ass her husband has turned into. :angry: He just never grew up.

Oh, and the state is supposedly taking over maintenance of our road- which has always been a private road. And they've sent us all letters demanding nonsense-type work be done on everyone's front yards and driveways. It's a royal pain! And it got up to 100 degrees today-- not fun weather to heaving rocks out of a drainage ditch. So we're doing all this so that they'll repair any future potholes in our perfect-condition road, and plow the snow that we never get, because it's NC. Whatever.

The big thing that's going on right now has to do with my mom. Honestly, I'm really worried. She has a growth on her leg, and there's kind of a strong chance that it's cancer.

It's been there for a couple years, slowly growing. I nagged her into getting it biopsied about two years ago, and when she called for the results, the receptionist told her they came back normal. But it kept growing. So mom had our family doc look at it again, and she was horrified to see how big it has grown- the size of a silver dollar now.

So our doc looked back through the file at the biopsy results, and said that it was precancerous. Two years have gone by. It may have become cancerous by now, or maybe not. If it is cancerous, we don't know what type yet. I went with her to a surgeon Thursday, and he took another biopsy. It's going to be another week before we find out.

I'd love any prayers and/or positive thoughts you all could send her way! My mom's such a strong person, and I believe in my heart that no matter what it turns out to be, it will be manageable. But I am still worried. We are as close as a mother and daughter could be.

I missed the 1000th page rollover! I'll try to not be such a slacker.

Sending positive thoughts for your Mum.....do let us know - it must be very worrying for you :(

Glad you & the boys are having phun!! :D

I've got to drop kids off at clubs (I am a glorified taxi) then stock up on food as we are going to Scotland on Monday (leaving eldest son at home :o ....I've got to write a list of 'to do' and NOT 'to do' for him :lol: )

Busy, busy back later pholks :rolleyes:

Morning, everyone!

It's all okay phone-line wise.....huh, very odd......last night our phone line kept cutting in and out, would become very static-ey and then would be silent....then back on but a faint static...then a constant busy signal (?).....now 'tis poifect.

Was SO looking forward to dealing with my best friends over at the Bell Canada behemoth....NOT. So, I'll keep me fingers crossed.

Sarah, I am thinking and praying for you and your mom. The waiting is always SO tough.. ...but we've seen how strong you are, and I bet you get it from your mom. :)

Sounds like you're having a terrific summer wif yer kids!

I'll be back, barring static... ... ...

Jestgar Rising Star

So we have Tom in a bikini (monokini?) Sarah's mom growing silver dollars, Uncle Ray walking around with elderly blondes (with big smiles) and gluten-free projectiles flying overhead whilst everyone cowers under goalie pads. Did I get it all?

I'd be sure and paint arrows if I were you! :ph34r: label it like "Here! Not over there!" I wanted to do that when I had my gall bladder out cuz you always hear those stories. :P

For my first knee surgery I wrote "Not this one" on my contralateral other knee. I believe I was talked about for weeks.

I have no iron in my body (ferritin is 2, normal is about 100). Brain doesn't function, and for some strange reason, when my brain isn't working right I lose the small words, but can still use the big ones. And I can't follow a thought or concentrate. Nigh on impossible to do my job this week. I do a lot of stuff that requires focus and remembering what you've done until you've finished and can write it down.

Great visit with the gyn. She (of course it's a she) looked at my bloodwork and said "Can you even get up in the morning?" Amazing how nice validation is. The derm saw the same bloodwork two weeks earlier and his only comment was "You've now got the record for the lowest ferritin I've ever seen." <_<

Anyway, got some prescription iron. Was promised improved brain activity in two weeks. Now I have to tell my boss that I need 6 weeks off. Fortunately I'm too tired to even care.

Can I get one of those goalie pads to nap on?

jerseyangel Proficient

Sarah!!!! There you are :D

You better know that I'll say a prayer for your mom! Yes, the waiting is so hard....

Good news about the boys--glad you can be there for your friend :)

Road stuff=heinous :angry:

Take care, we're always thinking about you ;)

Darn210 Enthusiast

Sarah!!! So glad you could poop in . . . prayers and hugs for you and yer mum . . . we were gettin' ready to send out a search party for you.

For my first knee surgery I wrote "Not this one" on my contralateral other knee. I believe I was talked about for weeks.

Well, I say give 'em somethin' else to talk about . . . just takin' a guess as to where they are headin' with the hints (6 weeks off, low iron, hanus goil surgery) . . . use your glitter body paint to write, "This uterus, not my other one" :huh::blink::lol::lol: . . . Positive energy headed your way, too, Jess!! . . . and I suppose that Susie and I can put off our rumble until you no longer need the napping goalie pads.

I am child free for a couple of hours . . . yipeeeeee!!! . . . hubby took the kids to the museum ('tis a thunderstormy day today - we're ASSuming baseball will be cancelled).

Ugh....I did it again. Yesterday I decided to treat myself to some homemade popcorn and a Boylan natural soda. I've been on the grainless, sugarless Edna for 5-6 weeks now and thought what the hell--one day won't make a difference.

Well, as far as the weight loss maybe, but I spent all last evening and most of the night nauseous and having terrible anxiety. At one point, my heart was beating so fast that I scared meself. Plus, I virtually never vomit--but I came thisclose last night.

I seriously think that the corn did this--it was one of the foods that the Kinesiologist said I should not eat ever.....of course, so what do I crave? <_<

Feeling better this morning--but wrung out..... :(

Gawd :angry:

Jestgar Rising Star

Bummer Patti. I, too, had corn one day. It was enough to convince me not to do it again (well, until the next time I do it again).

At least you can be sure that (most of the time) you are doing really great things for your body.

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
    • Cathijean90
      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.
    • Scott Adams
      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.
    • KDeL
      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
