A frisky wookie....that conjures up very disturbing mind pictures. Thank heavens that George Lucas et al never decided to explore that kind of storyline. Some love scenes just shouldn't take place. :o

Karen, this has been a MAJOR highjack, and I have to apologise...Okay, let's tie together this incredible avatar Karen has treated us to with our new phrase. I did allude to the kitten looking like it had just frisked a wookie. I'm afraid that's the best I can do.

One more thing...Richard, I must share with you that when I read your last post, "that doesn't explain Karen's hair", I didn't at first realize that you meant our Canadian Karen. I thought you were talking about Princess Leah (and I thought "Karen" was perhaps another character name for her)...I thought you were suggesting that Carrie Fisher's interesting hair style in that movie may be connected with Chewbacca...being frisky...or something... :rolleyes:

But now I understand! It's OUR Karen, and her avatar!

Call George Lucas - I think you've come up with the premise for episode 7! It'd be more Desperate Housewives than Revenge of the Sith (with Leah cheating on Han Solo with his wookie buddy :o )

Talk about eeeeewwwwwww......!

Princess Leah with Chewbacca....in that way....again, eeeewwwwwwww!

Maybe that already was a subtle, underlying theme in the first movies. I must look at them again, and watch how those two interact. A furtive glance across the spaceship control room...

Let's face it - we all know Karen is particularly good at frisking the wookie- and wookies DO like their alotoids! :ph34r:

HI JEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where've you been? Missed you!

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      I'd like to second supplementation. Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness. We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and...

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine. I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins. Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states. The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate...

      What should I do with these test results?

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results. Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long...

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By cristiana · Posted

      I'd like to second supplementation.  Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness.  We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and B12, that's a good start.  I am not sure where you are posting from but in the UK normal lab results for B12 are quite a bit lower than in other countries, so you might find if you are borderline you will get some improvement by continuing to supplement that.   I found taking magnesium also incredibly helpful against facial twitches. I don't know about you, but all these symptoms increased my anxiety levels as I was worried about them.  That only served to make the symptoms worse.  So it might be worth looking into addressing any underlying anxiety issues.   I still notice that if I'm nervous, or worried, my blood sugar levels are down, some of the symptoms comes back temporarily.  It's like there is still a bit of a weakness there.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.   P.S.  When trying not to itch the dermatitis herpetiformis, if you press gently on a large area (press with your whole hand) above the itchy spot, the itchiness goes away.  The bigger area of stimulation drowns out that one jangling dermatitis herpetiformis itchy nerve in the brain. For skin care products, I use tallow balm which is absorbed better into the skin than petroleum products or plant products.  Tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite) helps my Dermatitis Herpetiformis spots look and feel better quickly.  Tallow soap and olive oil soap is beneficial as well.

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis.
