Good afternoon all.

One seven letter word that contains ten other words without any of the words being re-arranged is "therein".
It includes,the,there,he,in,rein,her,here,ere,therein,and herein.

And yes,I know,"I really should get out more "!!!!
 
That is very interesting Carol, I have never seen words like that
Sorry to hear of your pain and hope it will soon subside
Codeine gives me fierce abdominal pain ...the docs say it is allergy and won't
Prescribe it for me any more.
Have to suffer in silence
Acupuncture has worked very well for pain relief but is expensive since I have no coverage

Morning all, had an interesting couple of days. Am going off of Humira - another drug bites the dust. Going to be trying Entivio perhaps. Am really badly anemic again like dead almost go figure, guess that explains my urge to nap constantly. Back on the dreaded steroids. Grumpy is probably a good name for me the last little while but it will get better. Did I mention that I hate Crohns? Winning for now.
 
Another rainy day but the sub is struggling to get through
Interesting space news lately....

Grumpy,when do you find out about Entivio? 'Hating' crohn's is putting it mildly,to say the least.Feel well!

Thanks Dave.

They have done the intake for me but because it is a new drug in Canada (only 3000 people on it) and not approved for Crohn's - pharmacare will not pay for it so my GI is trying to get me on it on compassionate grounds which means the drug company will cover the cost until it is approved as a drug here and pharmacare picks up the cost.

The sad thing for me is I'm allergic to so many things that it's scary to try another new drug and seeing as the Humira didn't work and I had to go off the MTX as well I'm sort of in limbo until they decide what to do. But the anemia is so bad that I have 3 weeks to try to get my levels up (iron usually 15 to 180 mine is at 10, Vitamin D is usually at 75 - 150 mine is at 59) (haven't got back the rest yet - B12) before we have to resort to drastic action so I have to take proferrin, and 4000mg of vit d and 1800 mg of calcium daily and back on 6 tabs of pred until something gives. But it will all work out in the end. :)
 
Grumps sorry to read what you are going through. I so hope it all works out and soon. I hate crohns too.
 
Fabulous, today I woke up from a nap with my sugars at 3.7. Thank goodness hubs had made some lovely oat cookies, and I'm glad I did not keep on sleeping.
 
Sandy, I'm eating little lots throughout the day. I was 7.6 before nap and one hour later 3.7. I just don't get it.
 
The joys of diabetes. Blood sugars just don't know how to regulate themselves. I understand that they can drop extremely low during sleep, tho (from one fellow diabetic to another). :hug: But, obviously, that is too low.
 
Sandy and Doug id take any advice at the moment. Hubs is away for the next three weeks so it will be me and the cats. I've got a mate to check on me every day to make sure I wake up and on top of my sugar levels. I'm not on any meds that lower of blood sugars and I'm a type two diabetic, so this is why this doesn't make sense.
 
I'm type two also, also take metformin. All you can do is try to regulate the carbs throughout the day, and eating (small portions of) protein at the same time helps keep it more stable. Are you ok now? Have you retested? Are you dizzy or anything?
 
Yea I've come right now, it took an hour to get them over 4 with glucose. I was dizzy getting up from the sofa. I've had tea and now I'm 7. I get tired, but I'm always tired.
 
We're here for you. Hang in there. Saying g'night for now, it's late and I took melatonin. We'll check on you too!

Kirsty,I've started on Apple Cider Vinegar to try to lower my "borderline" diabetes.You can get it at health food shops or the supermarket,It quite cheap,which of course is not important if it works.But you can use it in as salad dressing if it doesn't.........Google its benefits and see what you think.
Of course diet is crucial too.:thumleft:
 
Melatonin wore off, but after a drink of water, I'm going back to bed.
Apple cider vinegar is also good in bbq sauce, or as a non harsh cleaning agent, and it's good as a rinse for the hair (if you can get past the smell while it's wet).
 
More than 25hrs Sandy,you sure know how to bring the game to an end.

But not permanently while I'm still here !!!

Ma and pa picking me up today and we are going to a garden centre for lunch. It's an awesome but cold day.
 
We had a nice day at our local Lifeboat summer fare yesterday.Live music,stalls,classic cars (a couple from USA) and motor bikes.Some great trikes.I love trikes. And it's just a short walk from home.It is downhill though,and uphill on the way back,of course.

To 'ere is human? Ow! That smack hurt.:ycool:

Sandy and K,I'd offer advice but I am too sweet. :hug:
Click to expand...

I too, am sweet.I know it's hard to believe, but I'm very quiet.I'm well mannered,well spoken,but with an accent of course,I don't raise my voice,or kick up a fuss,and I don't swear (cuss) ever.Except in my head.
But some people on this thread,bring out the worst in me.:voodoo:



You know who you are !!!:tongue::tongue::tongue:
 
I don't have an accent. I listen to myself all the time and I just sound fine. Carol, if it was downhill on the way there and downhill on the way back we would have a problem [emoji3]

Actually K., I sound like the Queen in my head :ylol:

And we could have got a short bus ride up the bank,but I was just letting you all know how fit I am......:yfaint::sign0085: hahaha.
 
Morning all, nice to read the weekend posts and giggle. While I don't have an accent I'm sure that I'm nice (sort of), and kind (sometimes) and sweet, and I really have to stop or the lightening will hit and it would be a shame to waste the fire and there are no marshmellows here. Winning for now. Hope you all have a marvelous day
 
I don't think any of the voices in my head have accents. At least, that's what they tell me. [emoji289]
 
Hello all. It's good to hear your voices speak, with all their accents. I'm as normal and sweet as can be, of course. Sorry I missed yesterday, but had a doozy of a headache. The good thing is, I've had a lot more energy and a lot less chest pain since my new heart med, so my win is speaking volumes to me, with no accent.
Kirst, you have to post every day so we can keep our eye on you. In fact, everyone that doesn't post nearly every day is losing.:ylol:
 
I'm here Sandy, just ate some food. Trying to eat every hour or two to keep bloods up.
 
It's OK listening to the voices in your head,just don't answer them out loud when there are strangers around.There's nothing worse than hearing one half of a conversation.




ROBERT !!!! are you lurking ?:shifty::shifty::shifty:
 
I'm awake, morning coffee and then I need to drop the car in the garage so it can get the coolant added to the radiator.
 
Morning Shanen, I hope that your day goes better. I have learned that it is sometimes better to not point out that my co-workers are brain dead, for some reason they don't seem to appreciate being called out on making the same errors time after time, it is perfectly okay for me to have to fix those errors repeatedly but they would prefer that I just fix them and not mention them. And like you I feel really awful and I think that makes it way worse for me, not bouncing back as quickly this time, although I notice that every time it takes longer and feels way worse than the last. Seriously hate this disease. Hope that everyone has a great day. Thinking about you all.

One of my foster kiddos used to take everything we said so literally that we had to be careful how we phrased things. I was just picturing your car being physically dropped in a garage. Glad it isn't so. :ylol::ylol::ylol:
 
scottsma said:
I'm assuming they didn't lock you up yesterday Shanen ?:voodoo:
Or are you in hiding somewhere ?:eek2:
Click to expand...

Nope, they only wish they could lock me up. If I go into hiding I'm not going to be found. Pretty sure after 10 years of being the only person in my position I know what I'm doing.

Honestly though - I just have no patience for those who constantly complain about their imagined workloads, spend 45 minutes gossipping with anyone walking past and then take an extended lunch. :ybatty:

Feeling rotten just makes me more impatient Grumpy. I'm guessing by the look on their faces sometimes that I may actually speak aloud what I should only be thinking to myself. :mad2:

Thanks for letting me vent! Gotta keep the job to pay for the camper. :ylol: (Although I have just been informed of another job opportunity I'm seriously thinking over)
 
I hope things are better for everyone else today. I'm having a good day, had a massage this morning, Doug and I had a great time with some friends last night. Life is good.
 
Oh Shanen, didn't see you sneak in there. Wish i could help. Hang in there. I'll send Karina, she does great massages. Hugs! (I'll send Karina to your camper so you can really relax. )
 
I just f bombed my way through the morning and made my boss (the company owner) laugh so hard I thought she was going to burst something. She thinks I should go home and hide - I told her that was fine but I wasn't sure I would come back. I told her the only difference between me and a pitbull today was the pitbull was probably wearing a collar (seeing as I don't wear lipstick). I think I should just take the rest of the year off personally perhaps that will help my disposition but then again maybe not. Winning because I haven't seriously wounded anyone or even a little bit :ylol:

Hang in there Grumpy. Friday is coming. It's the only thought keeping me sane at the moment. :ghug:
 
My doc phoned tonight with an apology and that he'd done an urgent referral to the diabetes clinic. 15 hypos later... But better late than never. Now I get to wait for an appointment.
 
Well I'm of to tidy the cupboard in the spare room......

My darling hubby has mistaken it for the recycling centre.

Sounds like my house....since my mom's Alzheimer's has gotten worse she collects everything. I open cupboards and find muffin containers tucked away in the strangest places, cookie boxes, and empty yogurt containers - because you never know when you might need one. Everything that I am getting rid of she asks if we know someone that might have a use for it including the kettle that she killed on Friday by burning the element out because she keeps forgetting to put enough water in it to cover the element. Thank god she doesn't cook. Oh well keeps me on my toes and makes cooking a whole new experience everyday when you are looking for the pots, pans and kitchen implements that are no longer where they used to be.

You hang in there too Shanen, I hope things get better for you.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day and a healthy and happy weekend - its going to rain here and we really need it. Winning:ghug:
 
As long as we hang on to our sense of humour as well as the yoghurt pots............

Hubs isn't at the yoghurt pot stage yet,but he's getting there.
 
Warning noted Sandy...I'm not scared.

I'm not at the yogurt container stage yet, but I think the side effects of some of the meds I take have a similar reaction with me. I find the things meant for the refrigerator are often found in the microwave and vice versa.

Humorous...until someone else in the house discovers it.
 
Hello my minions...hmmm...did I type that out loud? No,I don't think so..yes,you did...what,who said that? It seems there is a coup in progress in my head...we will soon return to your usual programming in 5,4,3,2,...
 
Is your name Dave or Drew?
I win for doing my *** and having a down day. Hope tomorrow is an up day.
 
I hope you feel better soon T., do you have any trips planned.? I know it's winter,but it would be nice if you had something to look forward to in the spring.
Of course we have the Christmas Crohnies Knees Up to look forward to.....
Has it been decided who hosting this year ?
 
Morning all, a lovely rainy day here. I hope that this finds you all cuddled somewhere warm reading a good book and having tea or coffee or whatever warms your heart. Have a great day! Minions Indeed! :):lol::rosette2:
 
Re; minions.........I think Robert has handed him (Dave) the job of "chief cheeker" !!!
Obviously ,said Robert couldn't hack it,and Ducky only makes an appearance when one of us says something interesting he can argue about it, Trev,poor soul is too tired ,and Doug is too nice. So Dave.........bring it on !!! and remember your only across the "pond" and not untouchable (no smut please,there are ladies reading. (allegedly)
 
Ladies? Good one! I suppose you did add the 'allegedly'. Cheeky? Me? My Mom told me,a hundred years or so ago,you are judged by the friends you hang out with. Hmmm...:thumright: LOW?

Carol,you haven't been sending Trev any of your English cooking,have you? Jeez...no wonder he is tired. Just say 'NO' Trev to the next post from 'ol blighty'.

Robert,Ducky and Doug are just sitting back and letting me ramble.

Where will the Christmas party be? I still haven't found that shoe after camping in K 's backyard.

Good health to all and...Win!

Please don't shout so loudly Carol.....I have a sore head
but thank you for asking
Currently coming up from down so taking it easy
At the doctors office two days ago there was a very pushy patient who had no appointment,she had been told by the receptionist to go to the urgent care centre
I was the only patient waiting being the last morning morning appointment scheduled.
All patients must have appointments.
She insisted and persisted
Eventually my name was called and the door was opened by the receptionist for me,this patient pushed my walker and then me aside to get in.,quite shocking
Another office staff member saved me from falling although I was completely off balance
and the doc swiftly dealt with the pushy patient
He told me he warned her if she did this again she would need to find a new GP
So in addition to my other lovely problem...you all know what I mean...
I now have a return of a previous balance problem due to a brain injury some years ago....very upsetting,so have to take it easy and hope it all goes away
Other than that the sun is shining so have to go make some hay
Winning
 
Hi Sandy
It was the doctor who dealt with her
I was an innocent bystander caught off guard
Who would expect such behaviour in a doctors office?
Hope you are now feeling better
Such a warm day here....I needed to stay indoors today and rest a little
Winning...........
 
That behaviour was just so very rude, and something that you did not need to experience. Here's hoping for a better week ahead.
 
Thanks T. I am feeling a lot better except my sleep has been topsy-turvy again, but overall a lot less pain and therefore more energy.
That kind of behavior at a doctor's office is just terrible. I'm glad you're getting a chance to rest.
 
Give me cool and crisp anytime,far healthier.

Tryshasorry for shouting,I hope you're having a better day.

Everybody, peace and contentment to you.:rosette2:
 
You're such a character, Carol! Move over, my turn to win. For just a few seconds, anyway, because it's Doug's birthday, so I'm turning the win over to him.
Happy birthday to my best friend and the greatest guy in the world. :wub: :wub: :wub:

we would have a body part whip round for you Trev.,but you'd be in a worse state than you are now :(

Seriously though Trev.,sending good thoughts your way :hug:
 
Doug, Happy Birthday,did you need the fire dept.on stand by,for all the candles ?



:ghug::dusty::cheers::bdayparty::birthday2:
 
Trev, let us know how you get on.
Doug, dance as if nobody's watching. Enjoy your birthday.
 
Well, the fire department has come and gone. Trev, I really hope things settle down for you, you have been thru so much. Come to think of it, so has Kirst, Trysha, Shanen, Carol, Dave, Grumps, Doug, Ducky, and what's his name, oh yeah, Robert, and all of us around here. (Sorry if I missed anyone, I'm a little under the influence of a narcotic after a very rough night myself. Word of advice, don't let yourself run out of any med, especially on a weekend, that helps keep, to use Trev's words, body parts from working properly.)
 
Had a lovely Sunday afternoon by the Grand River in Paris (Ontario) watching the kayaker s
And the fisherman trying to catch fish.when he moved further down the river and the area became quiet I saw this big fish pop up in the water, take a look around and then disappear
Hope everyone had a good day
It is scorching hot 30 +
Where's Robert?.........

Winning............
 
I still say Carol has been slipping Trev some of her cooking.:runaway:

Happy Birthday Doug!

Wow,Trysha. I just don't know what to say about the pushy patient. That's a bit disturbing to think someone would do that.

I hope we all keep our body parts where they are and have a stretch of great health. Even Robert.
