OMG. . . . this reminds me of a rumoured account of Anne Boleyn's eyes and mouth contorting a fair amount after her head had been lopped off her body, for a long enough time that many in the throng noticed and dutifully vomited and/or passed out. This would make sense, I suppose - - muscles contracting or releasing . . .. . but perhaps she was trying to say something in those fateful eight seconds of waning consciousness. .. . ... .

. . . What would she have had to say?. . . . .

"I'll be back. . . ....Watch for me. . . wandering the tower halls .. . . . .wi' me 'ead tooked underneath me arm . . . ".....

I never pulled tricks on Halloween, I was too busy trying to get candy.

Last year, however, someone did toilet paper the trees out front of our house. I was coming home and noticed it, and thought to myself, "Is that Charmin? Charmin Ultra Strong? Ooooo boy, if I was your momma you'd be DEAD, BOY!!!!!"

Or girl....

Is it sad that I recognized the brand?....... And type?........

:(

Quite the entertaining sillie, no less. That was freakin funny. I wanna know how many heads they had to chop off before they came up with that number. How do you get people to sign up for a test like that?

"Hey, uh, we know we're supposed to do the needle thing, but we're goin old school and we're just gonna chop your head off and see how long it takes for you to die!"

Did they have electrodes hooked up or something?

I've come to realize there may be a snag in counting sans lungs.

Perhaps they just took an average, over the span of a couple of centuries, of the amount of time the eyes and mouths twitched and grimaced after separation from the host body, and it ended up being eight seconds.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Revolting, and deeply disturbing, but good. . . . . . . :lol:

Hey!!!

I'm watching Larry King...he's got Michael Moore on, and is taking call-in questions. A woman just called with a very sexy voice, from CLOVIS, California, and asked a brilliant question about Obama's campaign.

Sooooozie!!! Was that you?????

I was just thinking about posting that very same question.

Good to see Tom with his sillie on...........must be where mine went.

Don't know what I've done to myself, but my face is breaking out and a feeling of gloom and total irritability has overcome me.

Hmmmmmm.....just realized I've been out of vitamins for about a week. Can that possibly be it?

I think gloom, irritability & a general unease (and hmmm . .. .others not coming to me) are what I used/monitored to discover which vitamins, for the most part, were worth taking.

So that's where she is! I have to check in over there, I always forget :lol:

Hmmmmmmmmm :mellow:

I might have to try them myface places someday . . :huh:

Until then, consider it safe to assume I've been sending drinks to all throughout the day .. . .EVERY day! :wacko:

What else gets sent? Pokes? Slaps? 3 stooges-style eye pokes and pliered noses??

      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
