Hi fb:
Thanks for the ideas and support! It feels a lot better to know others are with you and know what you're going through!I got my blood test results today and my internist said I don't have Celiac! My son (the chinese medicine practitioner one) doesn't believe it. He has been telling me for many years I have gluten intolerance. He always tells me he thinks if I did the gluten-free diet I would feel worlds better. I think I do have celiac, but to be honest I'm glad my doc said no because I don't think I could do another diet at this time. I'll do less gluten stuff but only as its pretty convenient. I'm bad.
Doc also said the itching, chills are the parnate. I've got some allergic reaction to it, which I think is right. Parnate triggered my R.A. when I tried to go on it 15 years ago. My doc said I have a lot of autoimmune disorders and my numbers are so high it's a wonder I do as well as I do. So I'm going to stay at 60mg parnate and see if my body calms down with the chills and itching. I wish I could go lower. It's amazing to me that cutting back Parnate would be as big a deal to my body as it has been! It really made me very ill and depressed for 3 days, then one good day, then another 5 days of being sick, and still the itching and chills.
How are YOU fb? Just waiting for January?
I hope you do better with christmas than I do!!Take care,
Hugs,
Gayle
