Just pooping in real quick... I am so tired... don't know why, just TIRED...

(((HUGS))) to Susie... I know what you're going through. :(

Loooooved Judy Blume, and Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret was one of my favorite books when I was a kid.

I think my poopathon a couple days ago was a Micky D's glutening. <_<

Brian is on vacation all this week, so it's nice having him around... since he's not around much otherwise...

I just realized that with all the chaos of illnesses and medications and everything else, I totally forgot to sign Ezra up for kindergarten. :o Furthermore, we may have missed open house. :( What a space cadet... <_<

Edited to Add... I also meant to :lol: :lol: :lol: at the Kenyan pushups!

Good afternoon- Looks like I missed some beautiful moments and Jess-isms. You guys are the best! :wub: :wub:

I just think that amazing people sometimes forget that they are amazing, and need reminding.

Ditto to you Miss Glittery Eyes (gorgeousssssss!!!!!!!!!)

All right. Jess, you have been Silly-Instructed NOT to scream with such ferocity (font size 8, er sumphin'), as it completely strrrrrretchesssss all of our screens, and there must be constant, exhausting scrolling back and forth. Well, Ptaoughmghmn!

Had a lovely dinner with my parents, and it is true....I am SO unbelievably blessed to still have them both here, both in their eighties, and both mentally sharper than anyone around....sharper than ME, fer sure.....

My dad is fading physically, however. :(:( Parkinson's.

I thought my screen had stretch marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parents growing old :( It's hard. My dad is 78 and last night I just thought "Gawd, when I lose him :( " His cat's been sick and to him, it's the last symbol of my mom in his place. He has been heartbroken (she is doing better though) and it breaks my heart too. Sigh.

You mean eye, right??? Singular!! She's only got a pic of one eye!!! There's no tellin' what the other eye looks like . . . could be "smokey", or goth, or perhaps she's sportin' a patch and practicin' for Pirate Day, right matey Jess??

Pt 2

Oh Emmy, honey, if love could only make our wishes happen. Your dad's body is only here to hold his gift to the world. It's only the wrapping paper that's getting tattered; the amazing being that is your father is still, and will always, be here. Not only has he given joy and laughter to untold numbers of his fans, he's given us you. And you have given us Jack. The world is a better place because of him.

And you.

See- Jess- :wub: :wub:

COURSE IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT BUBBA MIGHT BE OF NEED OF THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE................. :o:blink::ph34r::lol::lol:

ENJOY YOUR BOOZE DON'T CHA BEVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. ;)

JUDY

TEE HEE- apparently someone posted info (spam-a-lot) on a rehab center near where we stayed in Maine. :ph34r: y'all know I've been such a partier lately!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very well said! I was attempting to come out of hiding when I happened upon (okay . . . willing looked against my better judgment) the thread which I believe caused your page stretching scream and I think I am outta here again. What's the point of contending with people who believe they are so smart that they somehow understand how a DEAD virus could make them sick. Somebody get these people a scholarship to MIT. <_< I'm sure the experts in virology could use some help in coming up with an HIV vaccine. Oh that's right . . . vaccines are much more dangerous than any of the illnesses they protect against . . . how could I forget.

YES- WE Need to know what this is all about (although I have my suspicions <_< <_< )

SUZEEEE- I hope you're feeling better. COLD TURKEY??????? PLEASE be careful- Wellb. is not a cold turkey drug- uhm.....scared cuz cold turkey Wellb. can result in seizures. Really. :( :(

Won't be long and the leaves will be changing colors and phallen!

I thought you siad the leaves were going to be PHALLIC :lol:

Hope you don't have to go throught all that again. He said "might", so hopefully it won't come to that. We'll think positive :)

Brilliant idea. Tomorrow - two different eyes. We'll see if anyone notices.

Bev, for Criminey's sake. Stop all this silly insertion-of-plastics-into-body stuff and get better already.

jess - love yer one-eyed glitter ;)

Parents growing old.......oh god...my mom is 70, but does not have great health (breast cancer twice - first at age 32, w/ 16 lymph nodes removed......second at 40), thyroid cancer, diabetic (celiac in denial), three heart attacks and now a pacemaker (the medieval radiation in the sixties killed part of her lower heart tissue).... I REALLY need my mom to stick around for a while! :( (oh, Dad died of colon cancer at 56 - CELIAC ALSO)

Julie - oh dear! it's pure panic here if air conditioner goes out.....but what is phunny is that, the second I read of fluids coming out of it, I immediately looked at yer post count :lol:

Nik - transfats........ :lol: *sigh* They'll be a thing of the past in California restaurants soon... I think? Anywho, I"ll be over w/ Julie and Pat also......bloody hot here......

Bev - PICC line? :( let's hope this is NOT true.

BUT OMG - you're right - - I felt soooooooo sick yesterday - actually did read about seizure possibility and took half a pill in early evening......slightly better today. Felt like my brain was exploding yesterday, was short of breath, kept blacking out when standing up...... :unsure:

am I EVER going to be normal? :( Do I even HAVE any neurotransmitters left at all? :( I seriously doubt it......and, can you run out of endorphins entirely? because I think I have......

:huh:

OK- you guys will get a GOOD LAUGH out of this:

Hear I am half crying/half laughing (thanks to Jess) and I go to let Angus in. He is CLEARLY occupied playing with some poor animal (I'm thinking bee and don't want him to get stung).

So I call him, he won't come. I go out barefoot cause I'm waiting for the yelp and as I get closer I realize it's something bigger (no- not the Montauk Monster).

Start walking faster (BAREFOOT) and SQUISH. Dog poop. And he's playing with this poor, defenseless, no-eyed baby mole so do I grab him and go in? NOOOO. Must save the mole first (GEEZUS- I must be a farking Buddhist).

Just finished wiping, washing and sanitizing the feet. Mole in better shape than me :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Uncle Ray is in da house!!!!!

Thoughts on Retirement:

I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?'

I say, 'Well, I don't have much of a chemical background but one of the things I enjoy the most is turning wine into urine!'

Uncle Ray's Home Remedies:

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

Oh, man, Amanda! I sure wish WE were sharing a Brian rather than a brain....don't you? <_<;)

Fish and salad, Nikerler? Sounds fab! Not kippers, as they are only fit for British breakfasts, n'est-ce pas?

...and if I AM to put ON weight everytime I get weighed in at me slimming club I may as well be eating deep - bloody- fried something delicious!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Nikki! How bloody long have you been attending this money pit slimming club? Are there penalty fees if your weight goes up? Do you climb onto the big scales under a spotlight on a big stage in front of everone, your success/failure blaring through a megaphone? Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...... :huh::lol:

I thought you siad the leaves were going to be PHALLIC :lol:

OMG......and me wif no umbrella......... :o:lol:

You absolutely need to see the doc about this weaning off Welbutrin. No WONDER you feel like death! Slowly and systematically... .. . .let yer doc help - -that's what they are there for (well......most of 'em, anyway)......... <_<

You've got plenty of neurotransmitters snappin' away in there! Too bad we can't get new neurotransmissions installed........ <_<:rolleyes:

I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?'

I say, 'Well, I don't have much of a chemical background but one of the things I enjoy the most is turning wine into urine!'

:lol::lol: Excellent, Uncle Ray. Bev, get him on here!

Bev, I'm thinking about you... .. yes, we'll think positively. You're going to keep recovering....no need fer another PICC!!

I am also thinking about you stepping in poop. Only here, I'm laughing...... :D

      I'm a little confused. In your second post you said, "but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy" while in your most recent post you say, "I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.
    • Maura Gissen
      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging. 
    • trents
      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.
    • Maura Gissen
      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again? 
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?
