Just got back from a lovely lunch at my girlfriend's....four of us get together every couple of months. This time we met at her big place, and for the hell of it, brought our dogs. OMG...Gus and Elsie were hilarious with two puppies and a little cairn terrier. :lol:

And we had a fair amount of champagne.....it's now, what....almost 3 pm? :ph34r::rolleyes:

And we climbed into her hot tub. Incredible! The temp outside is about 75 F, and the water was nice and cool, but still bubbly. A neat experience.

However, I believe the rest of the day may be shot. Oh, hell...........

Gawd...in my champagned state I hit reply before I'd even SAID what I hadda say...

Julie! Lord, it's great to hear you are okay after all of that terrifying swelling. What a horrid thing to have to be thinking about.........(((((HUGS)))))))!!!!!

Patti AND Carla! You both are far too young to have kids in their twenties......quite remarkable. You both look fantastic, and you must surprise a lot of people if and when your age ever comes up!

Now, ME, on the other hand....people say, "What? You've only got TWO kids? And the older is only fifteen?" :lol::rolleyes:

Evening all!!

Son of Silly just back from his trip to France.....fab time :D .....watch this space for his next intrepid oversea adventure!! :lol:

So we have a few rather chesty Sillies, here...Sarah, too! It's not that mine are that small, they're now just....considerably lower, I guess.... :(<_<

Small and low me <_<

T'is a cruel world

:lol: Chesty sillies

Just popping in to say hello. I had another 2 rough days with my reaction, it traveled from my throat to my tongue, not fun at all :( ..........don't have much silly-ness in me.

Oh poor Joo-Lea :(

Take it easy ;)

but I noticed poop and boobs

Would that be a Poob?? :unsure:

If you've got enough rope to make harnesses you could hook them all up to the car and have them pull it to the library.

Whilst shouting ''Mush'' at the little blighters!!

Excellent plan :lol:

I hope you make it ..... this is a perfect example of when it's a benefit to look stupid and maybe have DD's.

:lol: If you got it - flaunt it!!

However, I believe the rest of the day may be shot. Oh, hell...........

Ho'tub?? ;):lol:

<_< Jealous of Emily's boozy, lazy gossipy slattern day ;)

Now, ME, on the other hand....people say, "What? You've only got TWO kids? And the older is only fifteen?" :lol::rolleyes:

Well we made it, and fun was had by all. Whew! And my friend's baby only wanted ME to hold her the whole time-- which I loved. :lol: She's about 14 months, and has been doing the mommy-clingy thing a lot lately. I think she figured out, "Hey, that one only has boys. She'll coo and spoil me the whole time if I allow her to have me." :rolleyes:

Emily, that sounds like so much fun!!! I wanna come next time. :D

Btw, Em... there's a panicky mom whose diabetic son was just diagnosed with celiac disease. You may want to Open Original Shared Link Sounds like she could use some advice.

Yay, Amanda!! Off to Orlando! We suspect that the yeti may still be thereabouts.....please keep an eye out for him. . ..

'Twas that, indeed. Exactly. A BLGS day . . .... I'm SO fortunate to have it happen only three or four times a year... ... . . <_<:lol:

Now, I've found another word that makes not just one's mouth, but whole face, it would seem, attractive when enunciated: interlobular. :lol::lol::huh:

I don't think I told you guys....I got my hair cut--short :o:o:o

Remember how it was uneven, and driving me nuts? I tried a salon that came well recommended right on the little Main Street of our town.

Anyway, this really nice stylist took me right away (I only stopped in to make an appointment) and did a very nice job--it's short, but it's an excellent cut.

Get this--her daughter tested weakly positive for Celiac when she was 19--3 years ago. The doctor said it was a low positive, so she didn't have to go on the gluten-free diet. :huh: This girl gets outbreaks when she is under stress.....among other things. (This came up because I told the shampoo girl I just wanted my hair rinsed......yada, yada, yada)

I gave the mom as much info as I could and invited her to come on the board, just to read if she wanted to. She asked a lot of questions and said she looked forward to talking to me about this some more the next time I come in. Which I plan to do cause I really liked her and the whole salon. B)

I have to say I'm loving not blow-drying :D

The chemical straightening really took it's toll after a while--the girl who did it for me was excellent, but that stuff is potent. My hair was breaking and shedding and to tell you the truth, I kinda wanted to go more natural and stop using so much stuff on it.

I will probably grow it out a bit now that all the processed parts are gone--so yeah, I'm starting from scratch again! :P

EXACTEMENT. I imagined this, also. However, I was quite impressed with myself and my ability to drag myself, struggling mightily, into my sage, helpful persona and, well......offer a post that was responsible, mature and serious.

Helpful? Bah!!

I so very rarely partake in this kind of mid-day decadence....what kind of timing does this mother think she has, anyways?? :huh::lol:

I know what you mean. Lyme did a number on my hair. Much of it fell out and what was left broke. When I began treatment, it started growing back, so it's taken this long to replace all of it. I have about two inches of bad hair left, but it's not worth getting cut off right now as it's not that bad anymore. It's thickened up to where it used to be. Thankfully it was thick to begin with .....

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
