Emily, Ripper and family are coming to America today!!! B)

Have A phab time.....oh AND the psilly summit (soooo jealous)...lucky girl :rolleyes:

Listen up moms! STOP WASHING YOUR CHILDREN!!

....and yet my son still got it :rolleyes::lol:

OK- here's a silly:

Open Original Shared Link and makes EVERYBODY happy! :lol:

T'is good stuff that ozzie milk ;)

Well, DS has moved home!!!! We are so excited.

A year ago, he moved back to my MIL's house in Ontario, and we have had very little contact with him since. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, he called and told us he wanted to come home. We bought him a ticket and picked him up last night. He's spent most of the day with his friends, but actually came home on time for supper for the first time...well... almost ever actually. He seems to have found some manners as well.

Part of me, I must admit, is still waiting for the other show to drop so to speak and for things to go back to the chaos filled mess they were a year ago. Is that bad?

Oh well, for now we are enjoying his company. I am glad he is home, as I missed the additional testosterone support around here.

Happy Canada Day! We are off to watch the local fire works display tonight.

Ryan!...didn't know you had a son :D ....good news he's coming home (I think!)

GADS - how old is your son??....I have 3 boys but my youngest boy (13yrs) we nicknamed the devil child

(see avatar - & what *I* would like to do to him!!)

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

He tries the patience of a saint - always getting into some sort of trouble - attitude in abundance and is currently grounded FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

<sometimes wish I had a MIL he could stay with>

I'm gritting my teeth and hoping one day he will turn out to be a decent human being--(maybe? :unsure::lol: )

Yes!!! This is most encouraging....some real good news and not me trying to inject some levity with stories of packing me arse in shorts or sumphin :lol:

Packing yer arse Patti :lol:

Aww Peter - what a lovely little chap he was :)

Every July 1, I wonder why Canada celebrates this day, but not Open Original Shared Link. Oh, probably because nobody would want another holiday in December. But in terms of the development of Canada as a country, Open Original Shared Link, was much more significant than July 1, 1867.

See, now this is why Peter is the 'Oracle'

I love his snippets of information!! :D

ONE pair underwear

Em, I live in a house of 4 males :rolleyes: ....am constantly trying to teach the concept of a clean pair everyday :lol:

HAVE FFFFUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meant to add....

Sarah, it's great you've found baking therapeutic!! (dear gaaawd I have NO patience for it!)

I found gardening very relaxing....helps you work off any excess 'nervous energy', painting, drawing, reading also.

It's a bit of a cliche I know (and most probably not practical whilst the boys are off school for the summer) but exercize is my saving grace....it keeps the demons at bay - lifts my mood - makes me feel a little better about meself etc...etc.....BUT I've never been any good at self motivation, that's why I now go to 'group classes'

I do a mixture throughout the week of aerobic, weights, yoga and pilates (my favoUrites)... very calming :)

Mornin Nik :D Looks like we're the only ones here.....

I know what you mean about the exercise--I feel better after, but it's really hard to get motivated to do it. I hate to sweat :lol:

I imagine Emily, fresh off late-night fireworks and packing, is heading off for the States as we speak. She'll be here for Independance Day, so more fireworks! :P

Re: yer 13 year old troublemaker--he's testing his boundries and your patience at the same time. I had one like that, and he's now a hard-working, tax paying member of society (!) :lol: Yer a good mum, and yer boys are gonna turn out fine :D

Shoot, I wanted to say safe and happy travels before you left! Well done on being able to fit in a run on such a harried, busy morning! Being the runner that you are I may need to pick your brain about IT band syndrome when you come back. I have been bothered by a snapping hip every time I take a step and annoying knee pain and thankfully the xray was clean so my doc thinks it's my IT band. I guess this is common amongst runners. I'm hoping physiotherapy will do the trick for me.

Anyway, I hope you can hear me from the highway: TRAVEL SAFELY AND HAVE FUNNNNNN! :D (red and blue for your American adventure -- white wouldn't show up ;))

He's almost 16, and yes...someday we hope he too will return to being a normal human being.

I can also sympathize with the suitcase packing this as well, but in some cases that's all that may also be in their dressers, which is why it never ends up in the laundry! :)<_<

In lieu of my usual confetti for milestone posts, I made you a foot to kick the ex and the former MIL in the but, far away from your daughter.

      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.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
