It's NOT cancer!!!!!!!!!! Woooohhoooooo! Oh thank God.

Turns out, it's another autoimmune disease- go figure. Sarcoidosis.

She's got to go in for some tests and x-rays to see if the lesions are on her lungs, liver, etc. Generally, Sarcoidosis is treated with steroids, which may be tricky for her, but hey-- it's not cancer!

God, what a weight off!

I would say that this was the one and only disappointment in our UK adventure........the PB was quite heinous. I ate it anyway to avoid interfering withdrawal symptoms, but 'twas nothing like the classic North American stuff..... . ..

I would do well over there, actually. I would NOT eat the PB that I do, and the infamous ten pounds would be gone..... :rolleyes:

Thank you, you guys!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: Honestly, the worry and feelings of dread were getting so bad, I haven't even been making any plans past today. Or no, I was already making plans-- who can I call in to take turns watching my kids so I can take my mom to chemo, etc... It was such a weird situation, with the doctor thinking a mistake had been made two years ago, that we were just so scared... that this was gonna be bad.

BUT IT'S NOT!!! :D

Not that Sarcoidosis is fun, you know, oh great another autoimmune disease, load the poor woman up. But it's manageable.

No, you know what? I'm gonna make her a cake, and write, "Happy Sarcoidosis Day" on it. She'd appreciate the humor in that. ;)

I hereby apologize in advance if anyone sees the above and takes offense.

I'd say you've had quite the eventful reign ;)

Yeah, how can they screw up peanut butter? :unsure: Maybe superfluous ingredients?

No, you know what? I'm gonna make her a cake, and write, "Happy Sarcoidosis Day" on it. She'd appreciate the humor in that. ;)

That sounds like a great idea! I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it :)

SARAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Really great news! What a relief. And no, I don't think any of us are offended by yer sarcoidosis cake. In fact, maybe you could decorate it with frosting images of the offending cells? :lol: :lol: you know, flesh-coloUred blotches all over it......

Susie, what did you hate about it? Was it just bad?

House of Sand and Fog goes down as the most depressing and non-redemptive book I've EVER read. Sad people, sad, awful situations, and a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE ending. I couldn't even trade the book in, just threw it away. :huh:

I'm reading too many books now. Must commit to just one and phinish it. :ph34r:

O?

Dr.Oz Knows about Siiliac . and we found out that the gene for silliac is right next to the gene for misspelling thigs on the internet.

:lol: :lol: Nutty!

and BTW Dr. Oz BARELY knows about celiac.......... HARRUMPH! :angry: So Llama Lady Oprah, could you please send him here to our cozy thread? We'll straighten him out........AND HOW.........

Yup.........the pfUn starts here! :P

Okay.......about this UK peanut butter issue.......I think when the weather cools I'm goign to have to send Nik a jar of Skippy Naturals pb (is that illegal? :unsure: )..........'tis heaven in a jar......and THEN she can see what it's truly like, maybe she can become a wealthy peanut butter magnate (or typhoon/taifun?, as Rinne likes to say :lol: ), importing it into England by the buttload. :lol:

I'm feeling playful and mad :blink: and got no one to play wif today. :lol:

Grrrrrrrrrreat news Sarah!!!!!!!!!!

Sherry just mentioned Sarc on OMG Open Original Shared Link

I would say that this was the one and only disappointment in our UK adventure........the PB was quite heinous.

Is it just that theirs is 3 ingred, instead of our 3 inches of ingred?? Sugars, emulsifiers etc

Or is there something downright alien about it?

This is a good question.....I'm comparing it to the President's Choice "Just Peanuts" brand (better even than Skippy, Susie.....and cheaper!)....nothing there but peanuts. The Stuff in London that I found (two different brands, both yucky) had more than peanuts, but I believe only sodium and a couple of other things....the list was very short, anyway. Tasted rather....hmmmm....stale?.......old, dryish....a little sour, as I recall........

This is odd...as a peanut is a peanut is a peanut, one should think........

Do we all get our peanuts from the same place? :huh:

I'll bet Oracle PeOter knows.

Wait!!! I might know this one......you may have hit it on the head Emily, the source of their goober peas.

We grow em here fresh, maybe they don't. Maybe they import them and thus the staleness? :huh:

And then again, maybe I don't know this one :lol:

TOM!!!! I need yer expertise, or anyone familiar with Phoenix, are there any must see places to go, things to see, things to do?? Am going on a short vacay there soon :D

umm..........Em.........."just peanuts" makes me - um- gag a little. :ph34r::lol: Whenever I buy just plain ol' peanuts w/ nuttin' else - can't take it. All that oil on the top - - dry and pasty at the bottom. Nope, give me some additives, any day. :lol:

Well, that's not entirely true. Here's what's on my Skippy Naturals Super Chunk label: roasted peanuts, sugar, :ph34r:<sugar IS natural, remember> palm oil, salt. I LURVE IT and can't get enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (well, I do eat it in moderation and forget about it, actually - - probably consumed only three times a month, maybe?)

I need to do SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many things and am procrastinating. Oh, wait, am pulling a Pseu-zee. :lol:

Julie! Phoenix, in this weather????????? OMG.........just sounds hot to me. But - Kissey was just there - he stayed somewhere fabulous - Weston? dunno........ And they went to this famous biker bar adn the bartender girl is my twin - - not kidding - - he took her picture and showed it to me - astonishing........

Oh. Wait a minute. He was in Scottsdale. Phorget all of the above. :huh::blink::lol:

:ph34r: AAAAAGH!!!!! It's been 113 & 112F for a few days now, so I'll say indoors or in the pool. <_<

There's not a lotta there there, but you might want to visit Scottsdale's Old Town district and/or Tempe's Mill Ave.

Oh wait .. . .didn't you say you'd like the dry heat? There are good hiking parks all around. Lemme know how much you like heat after that. :lol:<_< (Bring 3x the amount of water you'd expect)

Here's list of other Phx stuff Open Original Shared Link

Nah ... Phx, Scottsdale, Tempe etc all adjacent.

Now maybe if you're staying in Glendale you wouldn't trek to Chandler, but the better known cities are all close enough.

P.S. It kinda blows my mind that you'd go to Phx voluntarily when it's 112F :ph34r: , unless it's just a pit-stop on the way to Sedona or other cooler spots.

Edit P.P.S. OK, maybe I'm badmouthing it too much. I just didn't have much fun at all in my recent 2yrs there. As long as you're visiting someone whose company you enjoy - well, I guess that's a good enough reason to brave the pounding relentless demon sun.

When I could still eat peanut butter (and I loved it <_< ), I also adored the Skippy Natural! Used to eat it by the spoon :P

Tempe's Mill Ave.

Gawd, Tempe :rolleyes:

My best friend from Kindergarten to 10th grade moved there while we were in high school in 1972. :( Her dad got a job there...it was so sad. We talked on the phone regularly for a long time, then when we had our kids, and then just now and then when a big "life happening" would occur.

Haven't talked to her in a while, though.

:lol: Editing to fix the date--at first, I typed "1772"! I ain't quite that old :D

As well as major belly pains ect. There must be trace amounts in my opionion. Which sux, cuz I love the stuff. But it just isn't worth the allergic reactions.

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @CarolTN I haven't been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis but as @Scott Adams says, like a lot of coeliacs I do suffer from itchy skin, and now adult onset eczema. The latter started during one of the lockdowns.  I find my skin is often itchy if the temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot, that seems to set it off. This time of year is bad,  I also get an itchy throat, so maybe pollen is having some effect. I am not sure where you live but here I'm mentioning the products I buy in the UK that help me - they may be available where you live? For my scalp, I have used with some success Neutrogena T-Gel, but I think Philp Kingsley's products for flakey, itchy scalps are amazing. I've used the shampoo and the toner. For the rest of my skin, I use something called Adex Gel after I have showered, and then any really itchy patches I treat with Betnovate, a steroid cream, 20 minutes later, as suggested by a doctor. I currently have some very stubborn patches around my waist, no idea what they are - Canesten anti-fungal cream makes them worse, so does Betnovate.  But when I rub the patches, they disappear, i.e. blanch, which apparently classic for dermatitis.  It's a constant challenge! When I first got eczema I had given up chocolate and was eating cakes which contained almonds.  My blood tests showed the markers for eczema were elevated at that time - the  IgE.  I felt there might be a connection. So you  may find something in your diet isn't helping the situation, other than gluten? Cristiana
