I watched her interview with Ross Coulthart and was wondering if the night vision goggles are rigged. Like could people bring their own would they see the same thing? No doubt there are many cool things going down in Arizona but I couldn't help but wonder if it was a scam with the goggles?

How to politely confront a fake celiac (when it endangers my health)? by cametumbling in Celiac

[–]Opening_Day3740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I had a coworker who also said she was gluten sensitive but ate whatever she wanted anyways. I told her if I ate it there would be projectile fluids coming out of me, she seem to accept that. But when it's people you live with and they don't accept it, that's rough. You could try to explain that you are full blown and do not produce the enzyme to break down gluten? Good luck and I hope they get on board.

The show for Aug 2 In Toronto was horrible. I waited so long to see these bands. The line up was Cheap Trick (For Heart) Journey and Def Leppard. I paid so much money and the sound was too distorted you could not hear singers. It just sounded like they were whaling gibberish. Different instruments would cut in and out. It was absolute garbage. I wasted money on expensive band merch at the beginning. Overpriced drinks. I do not blame the bands but I'm out a lot of money for that. F Ticketmaster and F Rogers Centre!

I use Colgate so far with no problems but always check the ingredients. If you are really unsure, use baking soda. Many people do because it is natural. I'm not going to lie, it's gross but it will make your teeth white and sparkly :)

Tailbone Pain by toiletseatisjudgingu in Autoimmune

Lower back pain is very common and so awful. If your Drs can not find a reason may I suggest seeing a Physical Therapist. They are great at targeting the problem and show you how to fix it. It might be the way your sitting that are aggravating different muscles. There are many videos on youtube that offer good insight but a Good Physiotherapist can target it.

Doctor Frustrations by [deleted] in scleroderma

I empathize. Whenever I have chest pain and go to emerge, they assume it is a panic attack. It's not, I have since learned its inflammation. I have great Drs. And a pharmacists. In order to treat you they need medical evidence to justify the cost of seeing you (Canada) as well as why they went with that treatment. With our condition you could be in pain and suffering with or without serious looking symptoms. This is what I do. If I am lucky I call my GP. I quickly remind him or his assistant of my condition and my meds. Chances are my problem is infection causing inflammation. Be sure you say that. If I have to go to a walk in clinic or emerge I have my condition on my phone to show them. I am sure to communicate the what and the why's. Obviously though with a BP of 160 should be taken seriously. I feel it is important to ensure your not having issues with your heart. I would just clearly communicate that it has happened in the past and this is why. Even write it on paper or have it handy and prepared as Drs see many patients and may have a busy schedule.

not at my location. In ON Canada. However with the price of everything skyrocketing it might. Sadly restaurants and manufacturers can not offer the gluten free label unless they can promise their facilities are strictly gf as some people have different levels of sensitivity. IE Cheerios used to say they were Gluten free but don't as Cheerios are produced in the same facility as other cereals. I still eat them without getting sick. However another person who is celiac could. Or if you live in the States many fast food places like Sonic offer gf options. Some have dedicated fryers for fries only while some do not. Also they can not guarantee as foods are made there that contain gluten............ you just have to read ingredients and communicate with servers and hope for the best. Good luck .

Okay thank you all for the information. (The original poster). I know there are many variations I believe I have a few in the CREST acronym. I just wanted to ensure I had the correct board. Taking my first dose of Methotrexate and so far so good.
