struggling.. work is over for the season this week and I have another month until next semester starts (and my aid is being fucked with). I hope I can make it.. idle hands are the devils playground.
 
nervous

I am have to see a shrink again tomorrow and go back into the pain management program. And still unknown the status of my job and what sorta of Federal laws were violated since I am on FMLA. Work has been threatening me and my Doctor I think is going to put me on disability until we can get it all sorted out. The problem is I will go crazy stuck at home. I dont have any friends/family or hobbies. so yea nervous.
 
Gluten-free.

I haven't been here in months. I had a nervous breakdown after years of been progressively more exhausted, and physically sick. I got to the point where i didn't have the energy to get off of the couch. I started having seizures again, and I've been retaining water and had been bloated for months. I had been making sure I ate right, because I had symptoms of vitamin, mineral, and a protein deficiency that I attributed to struggling with an eating disorder for half of my life.

But it wasn't the eating disorder. I found out just shy of 2 weeks ago that I have celiac disease. All the healthy whole grain bread, pasta, granola bars, etc. and high fiber wraps I'd been eating along with waitressing in a pizza cafe were making me sicker and sicker.

I've been gluten-free for 13 days. No wheat, barley, rye or oats which would really suck, but I actually feel *alive* for the first time in years...it's a low-energy alive, but seems to be improving daily. I'm not on stims and I'm conscious. In two weeks my health and my life has improved beyond anything I thought possible.

Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to drop in and say 'hey, I'm alive!' :-)
Sending positive vibes to everyone here because I'm positively overflowing! ^_^
 
blah.

(is that even a feeling word? i can imagine my counselors in rehab pointing to a 'feeling poster' telling me, "use a feeling word ashley". pshhh!)
 
NotQuiteAnonymousMost of my fam is celiac so if you want recs on food/recipes/whatever, pm me. <3

^ N3o, your heartburn is probably gone by now, but I've heard a way to get it to go away is to drink a glass of water mixed with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda--I know you Aussies call it something else, but I can't remember what :P). I think it's half a teaspoon to four ounces of water. Or get Tums or something, but I know most people already have baking soda in their house.

Honey thank you so much for this info!! I am on meds for reflux already though and uuusually that keeps my symptoms in check. I will keep this in mind for future reference though! And we call it bicarb soda, or baking soda :)


My word: sore
My back is killing me :(
 
Struggling. Harder every day to go through the motions when I don't see a point to any of it.
 
@TINK and @Kiwi: Sending some friendly thoughts your way. Someday they'll perfect suffering transfer devices, and I could take a bit of your respective loads for a while.

ATM: Wideawake. Running around like a mofo trying to get caught up on life after my vacation, and luckily I happen to be full of piss and vinegar tonight.
 
Fullofpissandvinegaraswell. Different reasons, clearly.

I am hopeful that a nice time at the coast goes well this coming weekend. It's not a short drive.

I hope to get a good night's sleep shortly. I am an insomniac. I wish a nice cup of soup would put out this migraine and the spiciness of my food would put out the neuralgia. I'm sorting that out right now. I feel sadness and an incomprehensible burden.
