    @midwesterner85 Trigger. That was the word I was looking for but didn't have enough coffee when I wrote that. They have it narrowed down to a few triggers for celiac disease. One being mono (yah I had that and my symptoms got worse after that) and the other is something that I can't recall at the moment but if I remember correctly it's pretty common for people to have as babies.

    I started developing symptoms in high school but it wasn't much. Thought I was lactose intolerant (I'm not). I got mono in college and after that, it got so much worse. Could all be coincidental too.

    Another INTJ/INTP personality here. Yep, it's interesting just how many runners fall into 'introvert' rather than 'extrovert'.

    ENFJ-A here.... shocker

    ETA It's common to get different results on the test, depending on your current mood. Over the years I've seen only the Introvert/thinking stay consistent on mine. All ese is a bit of a fluctuating grey area (im flexible :wink: ). Just mood, and perhaps as the years wear on our personalities develop.

    Yeah, pending the test, the phase of the moon and the price of tea in China, I come back as INTP or INTJ. I personally think INTJ first me better most of the time, but eh, what do I know? I have only lived with myself for decades...

    I believe the islet transplant concept/procedure was started in Edmonton at the University of Alberta Hospital - still needs more research but anything that promises to reduce short and long term symptoms is well worth the effort.
    So many of the auto-immune disease's/allergies etc seem to have some related Trigger Illness or condition. My brother worked for an apiary ( bee keeping ) when he was 16 - stung multiple times every day no super reactions. Now he has developed multiple allergies ( peanuts, stone fruits - peachs, nectarines plums, apricots etc, tomatoes ) and maybe some more that haven't been clearly identified yet. Always has 2 EpiPens with him and 2 more in his vehicle plus 2 in his luggage. So much fun at airports with the security.

    I just try to keep my knuckles from dragging and not trip on twigs.
    @LaDispute57 It's not the twigs and roots that get me - its the spider web trip lines at ankle height. Nothing like doing a face plant on a trail run - look back at the trail and there is nothing there no roots, rocks tree limbs, grass ropes - so it has to be magical leprechaun spider webs.

    I don't math well - at least today I couldn't. 17.15 km road run.
    I had planned on 15 km but had a problem with my math. 7.5km into the run I went past a turn which is approximately 4 km from my starting point. 15 - 4 - 7.5 = 3.5 so I kept running aiming for a turn at 11 km ( 3.5 + 7.5 ). Then when I passed 10km on my watch I realized I forgot the divide by 2 ( 3.5/2 = 1.75 + 7.5 = 9.25 ) and was going to be long. Did my traditional walk break at the new turn point and headed back. Really struggled mentally in the last km.

    My understanding about the current state of islet transplant is that the immune system promptly destroys the transplanted islets just as it did the original ones.

    With the weather predictions in the 90's for the foreseeable future, I decide to go try and run a little. Any hope of a long run was gone and I bearly eeked out 8 miles. I will either have to run around sunrise all week or give up and head to the treadmill.

    INxx types are big into online communications. As introverts, this lets us socialize when we want to, then instantly turn it off for our cherished cave time. But we're attracted back to it by the "N" aspect of figuring out the Why and how stuff fits together.

    No surprise, I come out INTJ or INTP. Strong I, strong N, strong T, borderline between P and J.

    I was surprised that @PastorVincent was INTJ. That's the classic personality type for IT professionals.

    @skippygirlsmom Don't you just love runs like that where you feel good and want to keep going? I wanted to do that last night BUT I've got a 15K race tomorrow so I turned it in at 4km. But I felt like I could have done 8km even though I wasn't well rested. But then tomorrow would be bad (15 is a bit of a stretch for me at my current training level - 12-13km is about where my max easy run is right now).

    Good luck on the 15K!!

    June Running Final Status

    Week 1: 18.1
    Week 2: 33.6
    Week 3: 34.3
    Week 4: 36.2
    Week 5: 30.6

    MTD: 152.8

    Today was brutally hot and for me it has me thinking I will add 4 more weeks to my 16 week marathon plan to run at start of Nov in Indy @monumental as I don’t want to chance (likely will be decent) a hot weather race in early Oct in Milwaukee. I will save Oct date for Chicago in the future if/when I can get picked in lottery or run fast enough to qualify.

    I’m an ISFJ. It makes sense that runners would be more Introverted since running is a very individual activity, for the most part.

    I really hate diabetes.

    There is so much promising work being done in this field!

    Dr Jason Fung from Toronto has some absolutely fantastic results in reversing this disease.
    He also endeavors to reduce the quantity of medication people need.
    He is a geriatric doctor per se but his practice and practical real world research is good information for the average bear, so to speak. Lol
    He is not a research doctor but has found excellent results in using common sense and logically appling knowledge instead of being shackled by ‘big medicine’.

    Many excellent doctors are finding the same success.
    Also, there are some of the new food shows on Netflix and Prime that are showing reversals in chronic medical conditions.
    Unlike Supersize Me which was just a guy eating stupidly for a month, these newer shows are informative AND interesting.

    Juicing, Juice fasting, fasting, all plant, vegan, not vegan, a huge China study on cancer that factors in everything you could think of including diet (the results are massive in encyclopedic form) plus mucho information that has been accumulated over the last 50 years.
    There was even one bonafide researcher that mentioned seeing success in reversing both type 1 and 2 diabetes.
    Sorry I don’t remember exactly which one.
    I have basically been watching and researching the ‘new’ information.
    Not really new but when taken as part of the larger picture plus the way our food sources and processing have changed in just our lifetime, it is vital to re-educate ourselves.

    Biology 101 doesn’t cover it anymore.
    Of course, you need to sort out reality vs agenda in some but still there are so many excellent shows that give you power over your diet, the way that understanding tobacco addiction saved some from ever getting hooked and helped others kick it to the curb.

    You missed the quote - that was from @5BeautifulDays

    Also, there is no way to "reverse" type 1 diabetes. It's an auto-immune disease that kills pancreatic beta cells, which means we stop making insulin. No diet will reverse it and there is no current research that has successfully cured it either.


    @midwesterner85 - corrected the quote, thank you. I just didn’t delete the extraneous dialog back far enough.
    Apologies to 5BeautifulDays (luv the name, btw)

    As far as the Type 1 diabetes.

    I understand your personal knowledge of this and I know about it as well.
    When my child was diagnosed over a decade ago, our doctor said that it was not necessarily a life sentence anymore and that there were a lot of promising results happening even way back then.
    I know researchers in Japan have actually replaced beta cells successfully.
    Even if it’s not a lifetime fix, it is a springboard to successfully finding an avenue to a cure.

    There was a time that smallpox, polio and influenza were undefeatable monsters.
    So you go tell that researcher that was on the show that his results are impossible and to give it up.

    Like I said, what we think we know is not accurate in many areas anymore.
    50 years of research on top of what was thought of as biological and medical cannon has changed the big picture on even some basic knowledge.
    Big Medicine, big agriculture and big pharm have big money agendas.
    I am not saying they are evil, btw.
    But we have the information and need to understand all the pieces, just like a chess game.

    :D you caught me. My day job (the one that pays the bills) is software developer. This does not seem to be readily known, but by far most pastors are what is called "bi-vocational" - that means they get some, or in my case, the vast majority of their pay from a non-church job (secular).

    I have a co-worker in another state who is a pastor too. His day job is in corporate finance like me... but I have too much going on to be a pastor, and have no interest anyway.
