I have not seen Mama Mia, but the movie looks amazing....I also LOVE the song Dancing Queen but I keep getting the song on th movie trailer stuck in my head...

Mama Mia, here we go again...my, my...

seriously though, DH made me cry today. I did the research to know which ice cream I could have, and he went and told me that soft serve (like dairy queen) wasn't gluten free. I was seriously crying. So I came home and did the research and he totally pulled it over on me. I guess there could be some cross contamination issues, but I'm not worrying about the little stuff yet. This is day two of ONLY taking the 800MG of Advil and 1500 of Tylenol ONCE during the whole day. A typical day for me WAS 2400 MG of Advil and 6000mg of Tylenol with the more than occasional Vicoden thrown in for good measure. That was what I took to get by while I was being treated "successfully" believe it or not! So a huge improvement. I even brought Ty off roading in the stroller for a long walk at a state park and it was rocks and stones and hills, and I feel pretty darn good. SO excited. I think I'm starting to see a little improvement in the psoriasis too Yippee. Course my days will be so boring...what will I do with all my time if I don't have to spend it fighting my insurance to pay for treatments that cost them 10K a month?

As a side note if this does work, I'm so disappointed...really, really sad. I've been in intensive treatment for this for nearly 8 years. Specialist after specialist and none of them thought to mention it. *I* mention it and I get a flip, yeah try it, arthritis and skin sensitivities, and fertility issues, and being overweight...all that together WOULD usually point to either gluten or thyroid. OK, well you tested my thyroid, and particular reason why you never test me for gluten? Never mentioned that? Obviously I'm glad it all happened the way it did, or we might not have Ty...but it still stinks. I can't even explain what I've been through for 8 freaking years, IV's and immune system modification treatments, and injectable that my poor DH had to do that were so painful I couldn't even stop myself from trying to kick him while he gave them to me. It stinks. Just goes to show, you HAVE to be your own advocate.
