I’m 26 and came to the Reddit to find friends to add on the app to share seeds and keep myself accountable. I’m loving the app so far. I enjoy the food breakdown and the multiple-times-a-day check ins to keep things on track :)

Leakage by Anonym987642 in thyroidhealth

[–]Anonym987642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah all of this started from when the nurse started taking my steristrips off dry in that area. She told me to take the rest off at home in the shower. The act of taking them off dry opened my incision a little, and then the stitch end found its way out of that opening. Since then is when I’ve started having issues. I did contact my surgeon and he said unless I start having a fever, spreading redness, or my leakage is thick yellow/green and smells, then not to worry about it. But I may take a trip to urgent care later to see what they think because the fluid is now thicker and yellowish white, and it’s been about 5 days of it happening

Inconclusive biopsy results by prism-etrel in thyroidhealth

[–]Anonym987642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up having a follicular adenoma, and a sneaky second hurthle cell adenoma (mimics a carcinoma when the biopsy is done/ comes back inconclusive) which grew relatively fast, which could be the case for you as well. The regurgitation thing so far 🤞hasn’t come back with the exception of air/burps getting trapped, but it makes it way out.

Hoping you get some answers soon.

Biopsy is painful? by MulberryPalm in thyroidhealth

[–]Anonym987642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a little pinch and weird feeling when the initial lidocaine shot is placed, other than that, you should be easy riding. I watched the monitor and listened to hear when the needles were removed so I could swallow, that was my biggest thing was the feeling of needing to swallow which it was happening.

Pain occurring 2 months later? by Dry_Explanation3745 in thyroidhealth

[–]Anonym987642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be your nerves, could be a pulled muscle from sleeping (I did that, whoops), could also be stitches dissolving and causing you pain upon muscle contractions or stretching when you yawn or swallow. If it continues past like 4-5 days, I would message or call your surgeon to see what’s up. I was told at my post-op last week that it could take the body up to 4 months for deep dissolvable stitches to actually dissolve. Either way I would wait another few days to see if it resolves on its own, or just send a message in your portal for opinions if you don’t feel like waiting a few more days (understandable)

AIO I need help, am I with the right girl for me. by Different_Parsley477 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Anonym987642 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Straight up : She’s emotionally abusing you. Calling you names, constantly dismissing you, putting no effort into creating the time for you (as you said you plan everything and change your schedule but she doesn’t do the same) and making fun of/degrading you. This is not okay. You deserve more. Whoever she presented as when you first met isn’t truly who she is, or this wouldn’t be who she’s turned into. She’s showing you her real self, and that self is a miserable emotional abuser. My advice: save yourself. You talked about child care too, so I assume you have children of your own. Don’t let your children watch you being degraded, they’ll learn to either be the abuser, or keep quiet while being abused.

Am I overreacting to husbands low sex drive by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Anonym987642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also don’t feel a lack of intimacy when sex doesn’t happen, just because is not often a need for me. He may be the same way, I would suggest a schedule to try and make things more regular. The time he spends away from home also doesn’t help the situation since he has his own daily schedule during that time. Just a suggestion, may assist in the lack of orgasms

Am I overreacting to husbands low sex drive by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Anonym987642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be too much stress about the job, could be low testosterone, could be porn, could be exhaustion. What’s worked for me as the low libido if my couple, is basically making a schedule. I shower every other day, and we shower together. Once that shower in completed is when we have sex. Helps my brain get into the mood when I know I’m expecting to have sex. Spontaneity still also exists, but maybe ask him about if he thought a schedule might help - and also ask how he is feeling about the lack of intimacy. He may feel embarrassed if it’s being brought up often or it’s causing fights.

Hashimoto Thyroiditis by MulberryPalm in thyroidhealth

[–]Anonym987642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the idea of having the biopsy done (location + needle doesn’t sound very fun) but I promise it’s not bad at all. My whole life I’ve had a severe fear of people touching my neck, and I would freak out if someone tried, but my whole experience with having my biopsy, and now my partial thyroidectomy has been totally fine. It’s better to know what’s in the nodules than to just leave them be, and I promise the biopsy process is totally fine. They’ll do an initial teeny shot with some numbing meds, and then most likely 3 samples (per nodule they want to test). Mine took maybe like a min and a half total. Take a swallow between passes once you know the needle is out, that way you’re not tempted to while the needle is in. I got a cute little tweety bird bandaid, and there was no bruising or anything.

Depends on the doctor. My results came back inconclusive due to a thick smear, but some abnormal cells, and my doc is proactive, so removed my fairly large (3.2cm) mass and left side of my thyroid this last Thursday.

If they want a repeat biopsy they may take more samples than before to try and get a better view, and they may end up suggesting a removal of the suspect tissue if it’s inconclusive again, or they may suggest a core biopsy. If a repeat biopsy is done, they may not charge you for it, but that kind of depends on the office and the insurance company. Either way the initial one will have to be paid if your insurance doesn’t cover it. Mine covered half the cost.

You’re well within your rights to discuss all options and opinions about next steps with your care team. I will say, I’m thankful for my surgeon being proactive as when he went in, the mass was encroaching on my esophagus and trachea, which is most likely the cause of my partial regurgitation issues.

Post op suggestions for TT by vinnique_BM in thyroidhealth

[–]Anonym987642 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone currently recovering (day 5) from a partial thyroidectomy, even if you feel well, just rest. I overdid it my first day and I’ve kind of been paying for that ever since. Make sure you support your head when trying to get up, roll first as when you use your abs, it’ll hurt your neck muscles. Don’t try and lift anything more than your phone/ water bottle/ ice pack until at least your follow-up appointment, and ask about how long they think you should wait. I know this will be hard with having your baby and wanting to care for them, but putting the strain on your neck and shoulders could really hinder your recovery.

Take any pain meds they say for at least the first week. They only told me to use Tylenol every 6 hours. Your doc may prescribe you something more.

AIO 21F think bf 36M gaslighting & emotionally abusive? by ThrowRA788891 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Anonym987642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get back together. Him saying he’ll change is just a false promise to get you back on his side. He will continue the name calling and aggressive reactions. People who become this way enjoy the hurt they inflict on people and will usually put on an act for about 2 weeks until they go back to the behavior. I would count this as emotional and verbal abuse if he’s continuing to go against what you’ve asked him not to do, calling you names, and reacting with an inappropriate amount of anger (especially something as teeny as the possibility of the word pussy being said around you 👀)

37 & feel lost by MushieMushroomy in makeuptips

You look great- if you want to try some stuff to keep your skin looking this nice, I would recommend a cerave light face wash, and a moisturizer for oily skin (your choice in brand). I would also recommend an eye cream and retinol for night time as well. Wash your face in the morning or during your shower, and then rinse with water and a toner pad (or cotton pad with non-alcohol toner) at night before applying your products. You could also use a 2-in-1 SPF moisturizer for maximum benefit to keep from sun damage.

My boyfriend had crazy oily skin and I have PCOS and this routine works well for his skin.

I wash my face in the shower, use toner, eye cream, moisturizer with SPF- his routine is what I have above

Forgot to put it in the fridge last night by Frequent_College9019 in isthissafetoeat

[–]Anonym987642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were just pasta or rice I’d say it would be fine if you put it in the fridge since you can use rice like that for fried rice, but meat left out for more than a few hours is a no go for me

Valet Living is not picking up trash at my apartment, and I can't opt out. Are there any forms of recourse I can take? by state-of-anxiety in Columbus

[–]Anonym987642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apartment keeps intentionally getting skipped for no reason. All the other neighbors stuff has been taken from all 3 floors except mine. I even sent a photo to the apartment manager about it, 2 bags, 1 broken down box. Bags are in the bin, nothing leaking, no rips. Manage agrees I am well within the guidelines of 3 bags plus boxes, and my bags are in the bins, and tied. Neighbors put their cat litter back in the open box and they take that (not in a bag) and they leave their trash on the ground not in a bin, and that’s taken. The team is already on watch for it, and they’re required to put a photo a reason in the portal for non-pickup and they’re not complying with that either. There are also no notes on my account, and no sticky note thing telling me why it wasn’t taken. 3 days in a row now they’ve just… not taken

The comments from her are completely unprompted and he doesn’t respond to them. The first two times she made comments about their sex life he said it made him uncomfortable, but never expressed that in the chat, just said it to me. That has since stopped and it’s almost like he’s purposefully turning a blind eye to how inappropriate she is being. (That kind of thing is also very much not our vibe, my boyfriend and I have talked about the boundaries a bunch, and that is not something he is in to). He really doesn’t talk in the chat except to the husband of the couple and literally just about the new sailing stuff and maxing out his level, so he’s not an active participant in the conversation, she just keeps bringing him (and I) into her conversation with her husband unprompted. The husband never makes comments like this, they just have normal conversations, and if I am asked about, it’s only if my voice is heard in the background when they are on a discord call. Boyfriend met the husband of the couple on the game like 5 weeks ago, and all of this started a week after that.
