    Crossfingers it's been a long time

    hello all the women of stripperweb! it has been a very long time since i've been here but i know this is the place i need to be right now. i danced around east tx and dallas from 2004 to 2006, my "home" was the clubhouse in dallas and i busted my proverbial balls working double shifts, taking week days, helping the creative growth that the clubhouse is known for by entering in monday contests, a way for dale to both torture and entertain us and i was fully supported by my family when i started going through anxiety. near the end of things i wasn't aware i was about to experience two health crashes back to back, i thought i was just burned out from the job and needed a break. i chose to go to school and finally marry the guy i had been chasing for 5 years. skipping his story we were divorced within three years, but just before the wedding i had surgery for endometriosis which uncovered the displasia that had spread to my intestines. a year after i was married i lost so much weight, dropping to 82 lbs and not knowing what happened. it wasn't anything the obgyn could answer and i looked back into my family medical history. i found out i can't have wheat or wheat gluten, ryes, barley, all that good stuff. it is called celiac disease and comes in many forms of severity. i unfortunately got it bad. i had to throw out most of my stuff and buy new appliances, make up, shampoos, you name it and it got tossed. there is also some sensitivity to chemicals involved so i'm feeling more like that typical comical jew-allergic to everything, always congested, monitoring food labels like a nutto, and full of random holistic remedies. my family isn't orthodox or anything but i feel like the person that got "chosen" to pick up the torch again and find religion. that isn't really relevant but i poke at myself sometimes so please don't be offended by what i mean to be innocent humor.

    now this is where i need my stripperweb family. i am not totally better, i still am struggling to get my weight back up to 100lbs and wheat, which is in beer, is my kryptonite. the lady parts stuff is all past me now, i do have a scar on my tummy really low by the panty line. it is pretty light now and i'm not ashamed of it. but i have been through a lot in not just the last few years but my whole life. i won't delve into it but my childhood family was terrible. i am also free of them, thank god. one of my problems is that i am no longer in the dallas area. that club is no longer an option and i do not want to move again. i am in deep south texas by the border and honestly the clubs are a crap shoot if they are going to be legit without having to turn tricks to make tip out. i would love to know if any women have found good work in the rio grande valley.

    does anyone else work in a public forum with a wheat allergy? i know i'm not the only celiac to grace a stage but since i am so sensitive i think my only options will be to embody the spirit of jessica rabbit and wear gloves and a slutty strapless dress all the time.

    lastly, a lot of this has been haunting me in my dreams. i keep returning to my favorite club but sometimes it is state of remodeling, other times it is full of people, and there are the eerie ones where the place is bare except for a couple of girls and a manager rushing me to get ready because they expect people to come pouring in. i had another dream last night where i felt right at home, got ready like usual, was welcomed back by the whole staff..it truly was a dream. does anyone else crave the old days? i am 28 now and if i can gain some more weight i'd look great but is it the path i should take? i just have so many questions. i want to go back to dancing but i wouldn't know where to begin.

    thank you for anyone who reads and responds.

    I am so sry to hear of all your difficulties!

    Have you tried things like bananas to help put weight back on? William Styron wasn't lying! (Sophie's Choice reference) Also increasing your protein intake? I hope these don't sound too stupid of ideas, I really don't know a whole lot abt your condition, but that's what worked for me. Also light to medium strength training, as you build the muscle your wgt will increase somewhat.

    I just recently left the Dallas area myself, I nvr worked at Clubhouse so I can't offer any advice on that place, sry. Would travelling be an option? There's an Extended Stay America, I'd recommend those highly. Good rates, usually pretty safe areas.

    i'm not able to travel far because i have two cats and don't have a reliable pet sitter. my options are in Mc Allen, Brownsville, and Harlingen, tx but i have been in two of the clubs nearest to me and was not impressed. jaguar's bought one of them and remodeled but it is just as trashy as it was when the previous owners had it. there are also stabbings that occur there that i see reported in the local news. a friend of mine (we went in a group of three) took off to the VIP for two hours and came back later saying he paid $275 to get blown and then screwed by a dancer. on one hand i wasn't shocked that it happened since the area is not exactly booming in economy but on the other hand it worried me. i know i can't work against that kind of competition and i'm afraid a lot of the clubs down here will offer those "services" to maintain profit.

    as for diet, i try to eat a lot of steak. i cook almost everything from scratch and i admit i haven't really been working out. i was afraid to lose calories but i should start yoga again and get more limber.

    Yeah you really don't need to be anywhere near that. Wish I had sm better info for you.

    I think w/ the proper diet, the losing of calories would balance out w/ the added wgt gained from increasing muscle mass. When I started dancing again last yr after a few months off, I lost a few lbs real quick, but the muscle mass I regained led to sm of those lbs coming back & then my wgt stabilising. This was mostly from a combination of lots of pole work & eating poorly (both not enough calories & mostly stuff like Subway & ramen every nite), So I think that if you're maintaining a healthy(-ier) diet then the results would be more along the lines of what you're looking for.

    I wish I knew anything about your area, so I could be helpful in that part. I also know very little about celiac disease... I guess I don't know a whole lot about where you're coming from... but, I do feel for you and hope everything works out well for you in work, your health, just life.
    I do know a little about returning after a long absence (for me it was 15 years) and after serious illness (Guillane-Barre syndrome, for me). I also feel the longing for the "old days", and the dreams, well they never went away... not for 15 years, which made returning to *the same club* all the more surreal.
    Best to you. It'll be all you've hoped, or it won't be, but life will go on, and I hope it is good for you.

    i think my biggest issue will be packing food safe for me to keep in my locker. i can't have easy-mac anymore lol. thank you for your reply. i know there are women here that know about working in the valley. i'm just going to stay positive that i can connect with them through here and also a post i put in the club section asking for updates on who is open and who is worth trying out. till then i'm going nuts over what music i want to try out since i quit dancing. so many songs have inspired me since then and the only place to work it out is on stage. i'm gonna get the jitters thinking about it lol.

    ^I'm a celiac, but it only really effects me if I ingest wheat products etc. Have you seen a naturopath or homeopath? They are great and will be able to prescribe supplements to help strengthen your immune system etc.
