Well....this is decidedly NOT a great photo. . . . jeez, with all the sophisticated settings on my photoshop software, ya'd think I could have gotten things brighter, clearer.. . ...more flattering..... ..

Alas, this is the best I could do. I'm sorry we cannot see Jacquie better. :angry: She seems to be in the area where the sun was streaming through .. ....and this is no surprise, as Jacquie is indeed someone who has sunshine around her. :)

OMG not sure who WOULD whine more :lol:

Oops meant to throw a :lol: at Pseu-purr-Oui-zul earlier.

<sadly shaking head> Moving from Monterey (& of course, mere minutes from Grande South) was purely medical necessity tweren't it?

Dang .. ..wish I'd been feeling better that day in Feb or March when you were in Willow Glen & I was bowing out.

Forgetting whether you even had time.

always LURVE the Ouizel spellings :cackle:

A$$HOLE :angry: and I were on very limited time that day in WG.......so sad we didn't meet!

Yes - moved home from Monterey as I kept getting SOOOOOOOO sick - my mom had to come take care of me - four? times - five days each.....................

oh and plus all me friends but one moved away.................

Amanda! Lots going on - sending prayers and love......keep us posted. Love the house......

I should like to psilly ambassador to the UK along with SpruesieQ (we like the mystical fog, shrubbery, accents and kilts!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.....and don't forget the gorgeous men :wub:

Bev - cool beans on the pics . . . does anyone else use that term? . . . we use to use it all the time . . . don't know where it came from . . . Suezee will probably say she and one of her friends made it up.

*snort*

Why yes, you picked up on that!! I do love me European menfolk ...actually menfolk of all nations, I do not discriminate, hee hee!

yes........menpholk of all nations........just seems that there is a preponderance of UK hotties these days, don't it? :droolface:

I'm blessed to live in such a nice place where they really care deeply about each other and are there the second someone needs anything. Rare in this day and age.

I take great strength in seeing this. Still no 'silly' in me but am finding some 'joyfull blessings' so will take that for now.

aw Judy, so sorry to hear this. What a long life they had together. Quite a neighborhood you have there!

{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}

OH! Soooozie.......speaking of attractive men: I kept looking at my brother up on the stage at the dance last night, watching him pound away on the drums, singing out electrifying harmonies, throwing his drumsticks around, catching them behind his back, etc., and thinking, "How can we get him together with Psilly Psooozie?"

Yes - she said that there are 15 emoticons in total..............

but we can ONLY now use 10 per post.

This is an outrage. :angry: A removing of a privilege, if you will, that we once so phondly and phreely enjoyed.

What if, one day, one felt such a..........curious mix of conflicting emotions (joy, ennui, boredom, malaise, Manchester, titillation, grief, horror.......oh wait - this is reminding me of someone I know :lol: )..........just every sort of pheeling there is, emoticonally speaking. And - one NEEDED to use all 15 in one's post, for correct expression.....yet only TEN are available to us, per post........

an outrage, I tell you, AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this DEMANDS a proposition/amendment to this situation......and how very timely to address this discussion now, as we can all (well, US residents) vote on this on Tuesday.........

mark yer ballots!

it's the highly important (but oft-ignored) Prop 20, Emoticonal Dearth, Deprivation and Damnation. Vote YES for more smileys.

Good Monday Morning, Sillies!!

Mygawd - - Big, Fat, Scary Tuesday is a mere 24 hours away . . .....billions of eyes will turn to the goings-on in the United States. . .. .....

Do you think it is too late to contact either (or both) of the candidates with our portentous forum issue?

It is possible that this has NOT come to your attention; therefore, in brief, a sudden and enormous change has occurred in the large American voting area of Psillyville. In fact, this realm is international, which makes it all the more vital to put things right, for the eyes of Canada and Great Britain are turned to the U.S. and need reassurance that they will be respected and supported under new leadership.

Emoticons have been suddenly restricted, without forewarning or explanation. Many citizens rely on these characters for their day-to-day communication, and find themselves deeply handicapped, often unable to function socially..... . . .

If there's time, let's send this off. One of them is bound to listen. If ANYONE can fix this emergency, it's the President of the United States.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?
    • Karen Chakerian
      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago.  6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had,  became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he told me they have ‘pills’ for all those things; which I turned down and sought to deal with this with homeopathic remedies.  Mid October 2024 my guts hurt terribly and started to swell. My massage therapist asked about celiac and I started to do research on it. It absolutely fits all the symptoms so I’ve been gluten free since 2 days before Thanksgiving but the huge gut persists. Thankfully the pain and cramps are gone. I look like a 90# pregnant skeleton.  I’m exhausted and looking for some encouragement from the tribe. I have good days and bad. I know living with an autoimmune disease sucks but this is even worse than the RA.
