    Was: So I almost did it again Now: allergy update

    I was leaving a restaurant with some friends and I tripped over an unpainted speed bump.

    SPLAT!

    Nothing broke But I sure do hurt.

    I'd cuss if I thought it would help.

    The knees are sooooo swollen. Or feel that way.

    I'd write more but Spunky has decided I need his love.

    Oh, I'm sorry! That sounds like it smarts.

    Be all better from this soon! Meanwhile, you are in good paws with Dr. Spunky.

    Put your feet up the legs are at least level, and a heating pad or ice, whichever your preference - may help them feel a bit better.

    I feel your pain!! I find I "trip" more, the older I get. Of course, having osteoarthritis in both knees doesn't help either.

    Feel better, girl!!!

    Well, I'm allergic to wheat, wheat glutens, what-whatever. I'm still somewhat itchy but I've cut out wheat from my diet and I already feel better.

    Oddly enough, I also break out if I get hungry. As a diabetic I'm supposed to eat at regular times, but I just used to get grumpy. Now I break out in hives. Weird.

    Right now I'm staying off corn, too, just to be safe.

    what's really scary is that I think my synthetic thyroid medicine is compounded in wheat. I normally take a 175 and 1/2 of a 25 mcg pill before bed. last night I only took the 25 mcg. Still had hives this morning but not as bad. Tonight no thyroid med just to test it out.

    Talk to your pharmacist. They should be able to find you a gluten-free alternative. Thankfully in your case, the world is getting better at recognizing that gluten-free is a need for some people.
