About Me
Hiiiii!
I'm Michaela, I'm 19 and live with my mum in Surrey, England. I'm crazy, fun-loving and have a mad sense of humour! 
I was diagnosed with Asperger's in 2007 at age 17, and diagnosed ADHD in 2009 at age 19. The Asperger's is quite mild and I often wonder if a secong opinion would say it's actually PDD-NOS. Hmm...but either way, I am who I am and I wouldn't change it!
I am undiagnosed for coeliac. I've had unexplained weight loss for nearly a year, for the past few months I've been getting lower abdominal pains, gas, bloating, tummy bloating out, headaches, can't sleep, emotional/behavioral changes/odd things, itchy rash on upper arms and back of legs. All of which seem to be triggered by gluten. I'm currently in the process of getting diagnoesd.
I'm unemployed as I left my last job (at Thorpe Park, ride attendant/operator), decided to go back but was messed around when re-applying so I've given up on them. My AS makes new people difficult for me to deal with and I am only comfortable with them if I am comfortable with my surroundings and confident in what I am doing. So I have a limited choice of work, I'm on benefits and hoping something suitable will come up soon!
Thanks for reading!

I am still eating gluten as I am in the process of getting diagnosed and I know mouth ulcers is a symptom. But it often seems to be related to brushing my teeth...it could be coincidence though. Hopefully it isn't the toothpaste, then it'll be one less thing I'd have to worry about changing -
I wondered if it was alcohol related as the one my mum got has alcohol in. I've heard other "bad" things about alcohol in mouth washes (not sure what exactly though) so it's a shame I wasn't there when she bought it! I actually need to get some more toothpaste soon so it could be a chance to try a different one. I've looked at some online and a lot of...

Apparently soribtol can be grain derived but some toothpastes that have sorbitol have sorbitol that was corn derived. I'm in the UK and I use Aquafresh Fresh & Minty. I've gotten into bad habits and don't brush my teeth nearly as often as I should! But when I do brush them, it sometimes hurts on the inside of my lip, where you'd get mouth ulcers...
