From me mum:

Normally, I avoid offering any advice regarding buying or selling of stocks.

However, This is important enough to warn you since this explosive situation might prove to be yet another ENRON.

Please review any holdings you might have in the following stocks: American Can, Interstate Water, National Gas Company, Northern Tissue Company.

Due to these very uncertain market conditions, I advise you to sit tight on your American Can, hold your Water, and let go of your Gas.

You may be interested to know that Northern Tissue touched a new bottom today, and millions were wiped clean.

It's a tough market out there.

Be careful!

Good Morning, Psillies!

Lots of people to be asking and thinking about today. . .. . .

Laura, hope all goes like clockwork. Be thinking of you. . . .. :)

How are you feeling today, Bev? Sounded like you were on the upswing when you last reported yesterday . . ...

Amanda! How'd the hectic move go? So wonderful that your family rallies around friends with that kind of help and support - - Jen is very lucky to have you all! :)

Ptaoughmghmnuss! I was thinking of you on Monday (?) when you had your orientation. In accordance with my mom, who has been famous for creating these names throughout our lifetimes, you are Mr. New Job (any time ANYTHING has been new.. ..I'd get a haircut, I was Miss New Hair. . . ...she would go out and pick up my dad a bunch of new clothes, and he was Mr. New Pants/Mr. New Tie).. ... . . :lol:

Gawd, through the years....... Mr. and Mrs. New House. . ..Mr. New car. . . Ms. New Chronic Disease. ... .. .(actually, the unwritten rule has been that the names always refer to something positive, thank gawd ). . .. ...... :rolleyes:

Have you started in earnest, Ptaoughmghmn?

Janet! When do you leave for Hobbledy Hills? .. .. .. Hollaback 'Ho?. . . . . Horton Hears a Who?....... . . . :huh::rolleyes:<_<

Still have some catching up to do so I don't know what's going on w/ Laura today .. .. :huh:

Good Luck anyway Laura!!!

Where's our Absentee(n) Queen????

Work's good so far :) Thx for all the well-wishes all y'all. :)

It's even weird simply having a badge again for the 1st time in ....over 11 yrs. :o

"Orientation" was just 30min then I got in 4hrs but the test system's hard drive was being replaced so we didn't get to get to the meat of the training.

Last night we were supposed to have parts to test but the full-time daytime tech finished it all. There's a theory that he's (unjustly) feeling threatened & worried for his job w/ the group bringing in a part-timer.

So I only put in 2.5hrs last night & discovered I *really* don't like solder fumes. :yuckface:

Soldering isn't supposed to be something I'm doing anyway, but we started rigging up something to look at what happens w/ superfast rise times on power-up.

100 nanosec!!! Hmmmm there are 300 of those in a literal blink-of-an-eye.

Still no silly going on for me, but I think I'm feeling better. Questioning whether I can tell the difference betw feeling a little better and just lowered expectations.

But it is nice to have something to do, work-wise.

<what else was I gonna write?????>

Hi, Ptaoughmghmn, aka MrNewJob! (See post from beginning of page).. ...

You sound great.... .. . :)

. . . ...Soldier fumes????. . . ... :huh:

Soldiers have (or develop) a particular smell? I suppose those fighting and/or peacekeeping in the world's sizzling desserts would offer up the most of these special fumes with which you are dealing. . . ..

:lol:

Do Canadian Soldiers patrolling in the Arctic Passage give off soldier fumes??

:lol: "Solder"--like in soldering things together? Right, Pataghumn? Ok, I don't really know..... :P

Glad to hear it's all going well so far--yeah, I think that's pretty natural for the present people to pheel a little usurped by a new person, but hopefully that won't last. :)

My gawd, I can fly to see Nikki for about 1/4th the price it would cost me to fly to NYC :huh: That's CRAZY!

Excellent idea Jess......whilst visiting with Nikki and her phabulous family (and kittehs) I am thinking we can hunt down various members of the royal family, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, have tea and scones (and everything Tel bakes up :lol:) ride double decker buses, chat with the little people under Nikki's stairs.....and that's just for starters!!!

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By Heather Hill · Posted

      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned.  I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including tTg IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG and EMA IgA are all negative, then the positive result for the immune response to gliadin, on it's own, is more likely to suggest some other problem in the gut rather than Coeliac disease? Until I have a view from the medics (NHS UK) then I think I will concentrate on trying to lower chronic inflammation and mend leaky gut, using L glutamine and maybe collagen powder. Thank you for your help so far.  I will get back in touch once I have a response, which sadly can take quite a long time.   Kindest Heather Hill
