• Inflammatory bowel disease |
• Cyclic neutropenia - recurrent, cyclical episodes of mouth ulcers, fever and neutropenia (low white blood counts) |
• Gluten-sensitive enteropathy |

Treatment of Oral Ulcers |
In most cases, symptomatic treatments are the main option. This might include acetaminophen or ibuprofen-containing pain medications. |
Medications to coat the ulcers can also be helpful, such as antacids (Maalox or Milk of Magnesia), and dental pastes. A combination of Benadryl and Maalox is often popular. Topical analgesics, such as 2% viscous lidocaine applied directly to the ulcers, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) elixir mouthwash, and benzocaine prepar... |
Antiseptics, such as chlorhexidine gluconate (Peridex) and cetylpyridium chloride solution (Cepacol) might also be effective treatments when used as a mouthwash twice a day. |
Aphthasol (amlexanox) is an anti-inflammatory paste that can be applied to ulcers 2-4 times a day to make them less painful and help them heal faster. |
Steroids are also sometimes used to treat oral ulcers. When needed, 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog) can be added to an emollient dental paste, like Orabase, and applied to the ulcers several times a day. Topical high-potency steroid gels are also sometimes used. |
Prevention of Oral Ulcers |
If a specific trigger for your child's oral ulcers is found, those things should be avoided. A symptom diary, record when your child got his ulcer and the things he ate and used in his mouth (toothpastes, mouthwashes, etc.) just before and any medications he may have taken, may help you find triggers. |
When no trigger is found, a mouth rinse or toothpaste with triclosan may be helpful. Colgate Total toothpastes contain triclosan. |
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which is an additive in many brands of toothpaste and mouthwashes, is thought to be a possible trigger of ulcers in some people with recurrent aphthous stomatitis, so it may be helpful to use SLS-free products. SLS-free toothpastes include Biotene and Rembrandt's Canker Sore toothpaste. |
It may also be helpful to avoid letting your mouth get dry, avoid sharp foods, like pretzels, and use a soft toothbrush. |

Race for the White House Volume 62 |
Today is being called "Super Saturday" which came after Super Tuesday and it is nearly impossible to remember and discuss and analyze every development for the two Democrats and now four Republicans remaining in the Presidential race. Things are changing quickly and often looking different between state to state. |
I have been doing these entries for three election cycles now, every Saturday, and at this point, all the fun and joy that I would have from writing about Presidential politics is pretty much gone. I definitely have not thrown in the towel in the hopes that an honorable Republican might become President in November, bu... |
There is no reason in the world why a postmortem for the Grand Old Party should even be under consideration. After the last midterm elections, Republicans hold more offices across the country since any time in perhaps close to 100 years. There is every reason to think that the Presidential election of 2016 is winnable,... |
Yet, in spite of all of this, if Donald Trump is nominated, I cannot imagine any other outcome but a landslide win by the Democrats and serious GOP casualties in down ballot races across the country, with a divided party. Clearly, many candidates and incumbents would never support Trump if he is the nominee, and they w... |
Basically, Republicans are in a position in hoping for a brokered or open convention at this time, when the party meets in Cleveland. There will ugliness and repercussions whatever they way that would be resolved, but Trump must be denied and we will deal with what comes after. If we have to lose an election this year,... |
There is no way that I can be profound or eloquent about any of this. I feel like I am just writing an angry screed week after week, which is why I wonder why I am even doing this. This is still a battle worth fighting though. By this time next week, I plan to have cast my early vote in Illinois, and while I certainly ... |
In order to deny Trump, it is clear that Republicans need to vote strategically. It occurred to me a long time ago that, considering they are winner take all states on March 15, John Kasich has to win Ohio and Marco Rubio has to win Florida. I do not see Rubio doing anything to try to compete in Ohio, but both Kasich a... |
So, as depressing of a week politically as it has felt, I do think there were two moments this past week that made me proud to be a Republican and a conservative. They both came from men named MR. I would be happy to vote for either or both of them, in some capacity, this November. |
Mitt Romney, the 2012 nominee, should be President and seeking reelection today. He should have run regardless and the other hopefuls, including Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio should have deferred to him. That did not happen though and we are in the mess we are in. He gave a speech in Utah this past week that received a larg... |
Cruz was the winner of this weekend's CPAC Straw Poll, with Trump a distant third. He dropped out of the event at the last moment, after it was clear that there would be anti-Trump demonstrations conducted by the young conservative crowd. |
Since his speech, Romney made it clear that he could not vote for Trump, while to my further disappointment, including after pretty effective attacks against Trump by Cruz and Rubio in the debate, all three of the other GOP candidates have said they would support Trump in a general election if he were the nominee. He r... |
Nonetheless, Romney did not run for President in the primaries and Rubio did. As readers know, my first choice was Jeb Bush, but Rubio earned the right to consolidate the anti-Trump (and anti-Cruz at the time) vote after the first three contests. Since then, it has not gone as well for Rubio as some might hope, despite... |
The Marco Rubio I saw today at the CPAC conference (where he finished 2nd in the Straw Poll) was fantastic though and someone I would be proud to vote for to be President, as I still intend to do in my state's primary. Despite battling what still appears to be some illness, he laid out an optimistic, inclusive vision o... |
Ideally, Marco Rubio can still be the GOP nominee, but honesty propels me to say that it is looking tougher for him now than it did two weeks ago. A lot of sober voters may just think he is too young and not experienced enough to be Commander in Chief. With that in mind, he might make a great running-mate at the conven... |
Will we ever be that lucky though? Pessimism feels real. The Republican Party is fracturing before our eyes and I do not know what the end strategy to fix it will be. Throughout political history, there have been episodes like this before though and parties prove able to bounce back. This feels dangerous though. I real... |
He must be defeated and must be stopped. If it takes a "Civil War" in the party, so be it. Some things are worth fighting for. The first Republican President knew that necessity in order to preserve the Union and presided over a real Civil War. In 2016, the Party of Lincoln must have the same mindset. Preserving the pa... |

Right now, the project is at really early stages. I have only migrated a fraction of the stack to open source, but it's an ongoing effort. |
If you have something to contribute, please feel free to do so. |
Please be respectful and constructive with feedback you give to others. It is very demotivating to read Github comments that are disrespectful! We are all here for the love of open source, let's not forget that. Be nice! |
If you have Feedback/Feature requests about one of the repositories, open an issue/PR in the related project (sub-projects). |
When you need to ask a question or create an issue for something that is not directly related to a project (say you want a node.js stack and you want someone's help), open an issue on the docs repo right now. (In the future, I will open a Google group or some other form of discussion forum.) |
If you are working on one of the stacks' CLI's/Proxies/Servers, you must add tests with your PR. No tests no merge, it's pretty simple. |
The purpose of the startup stack is to be production-ready. You should be able to run your startup on it and count on it being stable, so testing is super important. |
Write well-written docs for methods, objects, and definitely for features. Good docs mean less issues and less friction for everyone. |
Beginner Friendly |
This is maybe an emphasis on the feedback section here, but still worth mentioning. Be very beginner friendly. Even if someone asks a question or posts some bug and it seems really stupid, be friendly and remember you were a beginner once as well. |

Needle and Thread Tour - First stop Las Vegas. |
I feel like I have been away for so long. I have just had the best 3 weeks in the USA. 2 weeks with Kerry Swain from Cottage on the Hill on her Needle and Tread tour and one week visiting my blog friend Denice from Denice's Day. |
Its been the most amazing time so I am going to do a few posts about my experience. Sorry I couldn't post along the way but nothing worked for me. |
The first leg of the trip was to say bon voyage to my boys and fly from Sydney to San Francisco and catch a flight to Las Vegas. We always had good transfers and hotel accommodation. |
The landscape around Vegas is harsh and dessert like and its very close to the Grand Canyon. |
Vegas is full of hotels that are made to copy somewhere else in the world. Paris is just one. |
Potato chips with burgers?? , hot dogs and the best fish and chips I have ever had at Gordon's. |
Halloween in Vegas and just a few of the critters we met. |
Day two Kerry , Sue and I took a trip to Good Springs . Now a ghost town but in its day a bustling town with large hotels and mining. How the people survive and still survive in the harsh environment is hard to fathom. |
Miners homes made of whatever they could find. |
A shrine to Carol Lombard who was a regular visitor with Clark Gable until her plane crashed and she was killed in the mountains behind the town. |
The old Saloon Bar- check out the pressed tin ceiling. |
We asked the bartender to line up a scotch on the old bar. |
Potato Chips and burgers, the norm here. |
Whisky drinkers can rent a cask to age their spirits, the only thing is you have to drive 45 mins to pick it up when you need to refill your bottle. |
Yes there was a gunslinger or two and a man who was shot because he cheated at cards. The holes are still in the wall. |
The outside |
We visited the cemetery of good springs. If it looks like you couldn't dig a grave you are right. The bodies are covered with the stones and rubble. |
This was an unusual custom at good Springs and I think other cemeteries. Any returned soldiers visiting leave a coin on this stone and they are collected and sent to an organisation which helps pay for burial services of returned soldiers who cannot afford it. |
This bear has a story- years ago a baby died at birth. |
Years later( about 30 years ago )this babies brother visited the grave and placed a bear. It is still there. It's a fabric bear, so preserved because the average rainfall is only |
4 inches a year and the air is so dry. AMAZING! |
Good Springs is now a popular 4WD and off road playground. |
This was a view from the air on the way to Vegas. Irrigation is necessary to grow anything. |

The cowboys |
Afbeeldingsresultaat voor |
We always watched the killing with horror and curiosity, although we were never permitted to participate at that age. It seemed so sad and so irrevocable to see the gushing blood when throats were cut, the desperate gasps for breath through severed windpipes, the struggle for and the rapid ebbing of life, the dimming a... |
He has written a recollection of the cowboys, no less frank in its bequested fact, and quite evidently the work of the son of his mother. |
The cowboys and horse runners who drifted in to the ranch in everincreasing numbers as the spring advanced were lean, very strong, hard |
muscled, taciturn bachelors, nearly all in their twenties and early thirties. They had been born poor,· had only rudimentary education, and accepted their lot without resentment. They worked days that knew no hour limitations but only daylight and dark, and weeks that had no holidays. . . . Most were homely, with prema... |
When in a sense it was truly church time-when cowboys were badly injured and in need of help-they had long since learned where to go. David vividly remembers a moment in his education which was truncated when a cowboy rode up holding a bleeding hand. He had been roping a wild horse, and one of his fingers had become ca... |

Guess Who I'd Like to Meet in Person! |
This has been somewhat of a strange week. Last Sunday, as Mother's Day dawned, I woke up feeling like someone was jabbing an ice pick into my throat. Scheduled for brunch at my mom's house, I nearly cancelled...but thoughts of her disappointed voice on the other end of the phone prevented me from going with my gut. |
I should have gone with my gut. |
We came home a few hours later, and I promptly threw my weary body onto the living room sofa. Ten minutes later I tucked a blanket around my shivering limbs, and asked my husband Bob and 14-year old daughter Melissa if they, too, were freezing cold. Melissa, clad in shorts, stared at me as if I had three heads. |
"No Mom, it's not cold in here," she replied. |
I drew on the tiny bit of energy still left in my bones and trudged upstairs to the bathroom, threw open the medicine cabinet, dusted off the ole thermometer and popped it in my mouth. Sure enough, two minutes later the mercury confirmed my suspicions. Somehow, somewhere, I had contracted a fever. |
Monday and Tuesday became bed-bound days, as the fever lingered. Wednesday I returned to work with a normal temperature, but an ice pick still stuck in my throat. What's more, a second, more pointed dagger had lodged itself in my ear. Tired and frustrated, I struggled to make it through the mandatory activities of m... |
So when I logged back on, my frown turned upside down when I discovered a fellow blogger had "tagged" me, thus telling the world that she considered my blog good enough to share! Thank you Monica from Monica's Tangled Web - your shout out meant the world to me, and put a happy ending on a dreary week. Check out Monic... |
As part of this honor, I must now answer a series of questions. |
Pop Tarts - frosted or unfrosted? For this question there is no contest (drum roll please) FROSTED! The delectable pop tart takes me back in time to my counselor days at Camp Nock-a-Mixon where, as a special treat, about once a week, as a group of bleary-eyed little girls made their way into the dining hall for bre... |
