Well  I must say I got quite the response over 50!

 The majority agreed it sounded like some kind of gluten intolerance and
urged her to be tested and stay gf no matter what.

 Depression was also mentioned many, many times as well as panic attacks.

 A few suggested she have her thyroid tested (which I had forgot to
mention she does have thryoid problems and does take meds) ( I was also
under the impression it was under control)

 So I forwarded these responses to my mother thinking I was just being
the best daughter anyone would want to have, trying to help my mom.  She
read all the replies and twisted everything around to imply I had accused
her of disturbing my sleep etc.... this is the response I received from
her:

 "Dear Lauren, Thank you for investigating this for me. There are
interesting avenues to explore. May I remind you that I was the one who
researched and found the celiac connection which has turned out to have
helped you immeasurably, I am hurt and confused by your assertion that I
call you after 9pm disturbing your sleep and am guilty of the other
things that the above message references. Void of loneliness? Need you
to rescue me? No incentive to help myself?

 Is this what you think? Is this what you tell people?


 I get my thyroid tested everry 6 weeks. It is always off. Bermingham
and Towbin don;t know why. Went to Dr. Izod, endo, who had no answers. I
have Hasimoto's Thyroditus. It might be the underlying factor of my
heart disease I am in exercise program. I practice meditation. I work on
my friendships.I try to have a relationship with myv children. I read, I
am politically active. I work full time. I am 65 years old, for God's
sake! Give me a break


 Do I also suffer from sleep walking? With what frequency have I called
you after 9pm and disturbed your sleep? I have no recollection. Help me
out here "

 So, looks like I'll just stick to rescuing myself, thanks so much
everyone for your replies.

 Lauren
