Oh . . . and the knee . . . I think I'm doing pretty good. Got major kudos from the doc and PT at my appts on Thursday. Sometimes it feels great and then a couple of hours later much much worse . . . comes and goes . . . have to keep an glittery eye on the swelling.

I'm pretty sure you need a foot detox pad, oh wait, wrong thread :P

Glitter would certainly help the swelling, and setting a pyramid on your knee (anyone remember that healing fad from the 70's?)

Now, was I just a dolt? :lol: Did everyone else know from the very beginning that there were li'l people under those things? :rolleyes::huh:

You weren't the only one! Mark and I were incredulous! :o:D

Mom got me a bunny! :) He is so adorable! Boomer is his name.

My son had a bunnie once and he litter-trained it.

:brown-noserface:

Brown-nose

Take your hand with fingers together and thumb across palm [letter B] and brush fingers forward twice against side if nose. ;)

What did the hamburger name his daughter?

:rolleyes::lol::lol:

Happy Birthday, Anamanamanduh!!!!!!......See.......you don't have to feel left out! :P

One more sign........very fitting...

Olympics

Make the OK sign with both hands (thumb and index together, all other fingers up) and interlock them so they look like links on a chain......now let go and twist hands, link back together....repeat.

First day back to work wore me out....slept a lot......missed opening ceremony. :angry:

Morning spent in an auditorium listening to administrators talk......:fingertwisingatsideofnose:.......out for lunch.......afternoon at school meeting people, getting tour of building, taking notes on signs I will need to look up...........................not that bad, but my days are used to being broken up with occassional visits to Sillyville :P

Really? What does that mean? . . . The bunny can apply glitter eye-shadow to itself??

Ba ha ha :lol: :lol: Don't tell anyone but I do use detox foot pads when I'm on the abx :ph34r: :ph34r: I swear they work- (my feet are all a-glitter the next morn). Must invest in crystals and pyramid :P I am kind of a new age freak hippy.

Oh, that is terrific.....

You guys have to root for our Ian Miller - - he's the 62 year-old equestrian rider. This is his ninth Olympics. C'MON, GRAMPA!!!!!! :lol::lol:

Now THAT is cool. I used to dressage when I was in my teens and I gotta tell ya. I'm It's not as easy as I it looks :P

<--------- See new avatar. I wanted to be an Olympic equestrian (still do!)

Don' forget . . . glittery eye-shadow to distract or throw light into the competition's eyes!!

And the VERY SMALL bikinis :lol: Gabrielle Reese was/is cool though!!!!!!!

Youse guys- sumfin is wrong with me (vomiting, D, black tarry stools). They took blood and a poopy cow sample yesterday :ph34r::(

Phunny story about moi in a bathroom--

Gosh Bev....this is concerning. We'll hope it turns out to be nuthin serious.

Are you taking oral meds still? Maybe some sort of reaction?

... . ...I'll just say this, because our Canadian commentator mentioned it and I'm SO GLAD that he did: when you see things moving, look carefully for the person controlling it - - may not be obvious, but those incredible people are there.....

*ONLY* because of this, and the side-view shot ~1/2 way thru, I noticed some footsies under the characters, but STILL didn't believe people could be doing that so perfectly precise for a few minutes.

Heard someone today say they practiced 8+ hrs/day for 4 mos and last night was the 1st time w/ no errors. :o

<oh come on!!> <_<

Y'know, that's the bottom line with any therapy, conventional or not. There is no 'one size heals all' and who's to say that your particular chemistry isn't such that you can detox with foot pads.

I think it's unlikely that non-conventional therapies work for most people, but just as a few people get no benefit from standard treatments, there's gotta be a few people that get benefit from non-standard treatment.

<I only object to the people that say 'because it worked for me, it must work for everyone'>

And Darnit! Do your PT!! That DOES help most people.

Thanks toots- I'm not on any abx yet. Could have been a bad arse glutening :( Weird.

So weird!!!!!!!

You know that unbelievable grid with the hundreds of moving squares that went like a wave, then spirals, then Chinese characters, all incredibly timed and flowing? Of course we know NOW that each of those squares had a person under it, moving it up and down with staggering precision, as they all burst up and began waving at the very end. Well, I thought at first that the squares were being moved by a computer somewhere....it never occurred to me that people could actually do this, so precisely. During the performance, our announcer mentioned that it was individual people under each square, kneeling, crouching, then standing and crashing back down at the exact moments needed.

Now, was I just a dolt? :lol: Did everyone else know from the very beginning that there were li'l people under those things?

That was amazing!

I didn't know until the very end when they flashed the camera closer and to the ground, then you could see thousands of little feet underneath.

well, WHEN is the replay on here? Becasue.....last night, we went to this pub, got caught up with some......interesting characters, :huh: and I was not home until past 9. I was staring at the TV screens, though, and saw the MOST fascinating precision in the events.........

MUST see it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUST SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am MAD at self! :angry:

WHAT?!?!?!?!?

She who never misses an opening ceremony, she who reminded us of the opening ceremony coming up, MISSED IT?!?!?!? :blink:

Did you at least leave the tv on for the Weeze?

You guys have to root for our Ian Miller - - he's the 62 year-old equestrian rider. This is his ninth Olympics. C'MON, GRAMPA!!!!!!

I love the story about your flag-bearer....the Sudanese refugee. What a beautiful face, smiling into the crowd, and what a horrific childhood.... . .now he stands to win a gold medal. Those are the real stories of the Olympics.......

I love the story behind our flag bearer too, heart warming :wub: A 62 year old equestrian rider? How fabulous!!!! I will keep an eye out. Don't forget the 41 year old swimmer Dara Torres.

THis is what I love about the Olympics, all the personal stories behind all the athletes, from all the countries. So many have really overcome great odds.

Another moment last night I just loved was the little boy walking out with that basketball player (phorgot his name....) who was carrying China's flag, the little boy being one of the survivors of the earthquake.

Don' forget . . . glittery eye-shadow to distract or throw light into the competition's eyes!!

:lol:

Glad your knee is doing ok :)

Bevvy wevvy, what is going on with you? That doesn't sound very good, everything is coming out both ends :huh::( . Any better tonight?

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster.  Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long before this.

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      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?
