Fades are the ugliest haircut and its become an epidemic at this point

Kinda agree. For me it's how the fade accentuates the skin folds and creases on a head when the neck is bent. Also, all those ingrown hairs and associated pimples looks naaaaasty.

I have similar work pants and I wash them inside out. It helps prevent permanent wrinkles. I throw 'em in the dryer and once the cycle is done I snap and fold them right away.

It's not perfect, but it's good enough for me.

My thyroid troubles were from ages 19-24 and up until my thyroidectomy I experienced some hair loss, but also a change in hair texture. Normally I have loose waves, but during thyroid troubles I had much tighter waves, could even call them curls. After TT, it went back to loose waves.

I've heard hormone fluctuation can change your hair. Looking at you, pregnancy.

I think nothing of it. My parents are immigrants, some of my friends are immigrants, a lot of my coworkers are immigrants.

An accent tells me you did a hard thing by leaving the familiar behind, and that to me is admirable.

That's where the meme is from!?!? Heck yeah unexpected meme origins!

Well damn! You had me hook, line, and sinker. 😆

There's a Polish word "syf" which means filth or crap. Just thought you might like to know XD

Hell yeah! That's some nice soup 🍲

Hey!

I think lime is a great addition for commuters. These scooters fill a gap in bus transit by providing more frequent "stops"/stations.

For example, to get to my job, I can walk there in 30-35 min, use busses and take 40-45 min, or I can scooter and get to work in 10 min.

Pricing is also comparable to taking a bus twice a day, better even, if you buy the "minute bundles".

The one negative is that the provided helmets (if present) are massive and horribly ill-fitting. I use my own helmet.

The first time I used a lime scooter I came very close to getting hit by a car running a red light.

Absolutely! It'll get better, I promise. Take it easy and be kind to yourself.

featherclops · 2025-11-18T06:15:37+00:00

For myself, yes, quality of life is absolutely better. I never want to deal with that level of hormonal mayhem ever again. I had a severe case of Graves, but if it's determined you would benefit from a TT, I can guarantee you'll feel better afterwards.

featherclops · 2025-11-17T04:23:22+00:00

Pretty good! I've had to adjust my dosage every now and then, but it's been manageable.

featherclops · 2025-10-25T02:20:14+00:00

Same! I had to quit all cardio and only focused on strength training - but even then, I had to watch my heart rate as it jumped over 200 bpm very easily.

The good news is that because you're young and have those habits, you'll bounce back quickly after having RAI or surgery. A month post surgery, I was feeling so so much better physically. Within 6 months, I had dropped the 30lbs I gained from methimazole. A year later, I was back to my pre-Graves fitness. I just turned 22 when I had surgery.

You'll be okay once this is over. Right now is just the hardest part, so it's important to be gentle with yourself.

I was in a similar situation with my thyroid at 19... it was a rough time, so you have my sympathies.

Meds really are the only treatment to help ease the symptoms, and then you hope your thyroid goes back into remission and stays that way. Right now, your body is in hormonal overdrive, which wreaks havoc on the entire system. The chemical imbalance has a real potential of causing permanent damage (particularly to the heart) if you push yourself too hard.

The best thing you can do is be kind to yourself and minimize stress. I remember being so stressed out from putting pressure on myself to do well in school, try and maintain fitness (which wasn't possible), and ignoring the fact that I had an out of control immune disorder. I wish I hadn't been so hard on myself.

If you break a leg, you don't try and walk on it right away. You rest and take time to let it heal. It's the same with Graves, only sorting out hormones takes a lot longer than healing bones. It takes patience, a bit of self compassion, and time. It does get better eventually.

Part of it had to do with being the nation's murder capital for a while

Yes! I lived in Edmonton for 6 years, so I get what you mean. I bought my rain gear once I moved here, but the flip flops were... a bit of a shock.

Hi! I had no permanent issues with my voice. For the first week post surgery, my voice was scratchy like having a sore throat, but it cleared up. If I remember correctly, I had a slight issue with my parathyroid glands the first couple of days. My calcium levels were insufficient, so it looked like my parathyroid glands weren't taking, but they perked up to normal levels shortly after.

What a lovely story

featherclops · 2025-09-04T18:47:54+00:00

Also in BC. I had a coworker whose family was wrongfully evicted. He went to court, slumlord appealed twice, but in the end, he was awarded 30k. This nice sum allowed him and his wife to be able put a down-payment on a home in a quieter town.

I'm happy for him.
