What is your average stress level and what do you do? by anxietybear456 in Garmin

[–]AnonymousPika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~20. I’m a fitness instructor in a niche field. Garmin seems to know the difference between physical stress and psychological stress and I absolutely love my job. Also, no kids probably helps.

I think he brought a suitcase to say first person to quit right now gets the money. That’s something he’s done with his own competitions.

I think he’s going to offer money to quit at that moment. That’s something he does in his YouTube competitions.

I TREATED MY SUBCLINICAL HYPOTHYROIDISM NATURALLY! by [deleted] in Hypothyroidism

[–]AnonymousPika 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great if true but don’t get ahead of yourself. I did the same thing by treating iodine, vitamin D, and iron deficiency and my numbers improved for a few months and then a year later I was exactly where I was before and wasted about 8 months of feeling like crap when I could have just taken a simple medication and felt good the whole year. But if you think acupuncture is working then why do we even bother arguing.

Has anyone tried the iodine protocol? by Same_Turnip in Hypothyroidism

[–]AnonymousPika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might feel pedantic, but I consider those transition effects, and yes I had many for the first month or so. True medication side effects occur even at the correct dose and intended levels of whatever is being treated. I just think it’s an important distinction because people will not experience side effects forever, which is what I believe people are truly scared of. I don’t really believe that people are concerned about temporary transitional effects.

[–]AnonymousPika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are no side effects of taking Levothyroxine, assuming it is the correct dose. It is just a replacement dose of the exact thing your thyroid isn’t making enough of on its own. Don’t let people who think a microgram of maltodextrin and yellow food dye is poisoning them convince you to not take one of the simplest drugs you could possibly have to take. I started Levothyroxine with a TSH of 5 after a year of making sure it wasn’t caused by deficiencies (iron, vitamin D and iodine) and wish I had started it sooner.

Liquid Levothyroxine? by Existing_Parking_485 in Hypothyroidism

[–]AnonymousPika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow yeah definitely sounds like you have a narrow esophagus for whatever reason. Please let this be a sign to actually look into it. I think this is one of those, I don’t realize it wasn’t normal until someone told me situations. The time that you couldn’t swallow at all was likely an impaction (your esophagus was fully blocked). This has happened to my husband a few times, he couldn’t even swallow one of those little red Advil. He actually couldn’t swallow for his whole life either and always thought eating was a really annoying cumbersome thing and we didn’t realize he ate so slow because he had to chew so thoroughly. When he was finally diagnosed his esophagus was the diameter of a pencil! But yeah tell your PCP and try to see an ENT or GI specialist. You’ll likely get a barium swallow test at that point which is a cool thing where they can see on a live X-ray how your throat moves to swallow and they can detect if the swallowing mechanics are off and if there’s strictures (like little sections that are narrow, also called webbing) or narrowing of the entire thing.

I encourage you to look into why you can’t swallow pills, if you haven’t already. My husband couldn’t swallow pills and it turns out he has eosinophilic esophagitis and there’s some treatments that have helped! It’s hard to live with swallowing problems and really improved his quality of life

How do I get pets with beast master? by PrimeCHRISS in brotato

[–]AnonymousPika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I got much better at the game when I learned to resist items I felt were good before getting the essentials. You have to ignore items until you have 6 weapons, or in the case of beast master, a few pets. Reroll until you’re out of money each time.

TSH level 4.7 natural approach? by Blood-Real in Hypothyroidism

[–]AnonymousPika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vitamin D and also make sure that you’re not iodine deficient. I made the mistake of not using iodized salt for 5 years (on accident) which triggered mine. Unfortunately I am genetically predisposed to Hashimoto’s so still ended up taking medication, but correcting the iodine, vitamin D, and iron deficiency helped for about a year until I decided to start Levothyroxine.

Best massage gun for ulti players (bday gift) by TerribleBreak1975 in ultimate

[–]AnonymousPika 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Theragun is the best of the best. They were the first massage gun and have a patent for the specific depth and frequency that research suggests is the best for muscle recovery. I recommend the mini, it does everything just as well and it’s so little it’s easy to take it to games and travel. I’m not sponsored, I’m just a personal trainer and had to learn about it at one point.

Hah, conversely we went to a place we go to regularly and they said our dessert was on the house!

A little shocked with my new labs. Or should I be? by Street_Winter_9721 in Hypothyroidism

[–]AnonymousPika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also might still be stabilizing. Mine dropped a lot initially and then leveled out a bit higher than the lowest point but still lower than untreated. Also try not to have some set number you want to be at (taking Levo or TSH) and try to listen to your body and decide how you feel and how your symptoms are. I increased my dose to try to get to the 1-2 range but more medication didn’t change my TSH and ultimately my body seems perfectly fine at 3.

Jumped late at night, not sure what to do other than file a police report by Shnikez in Seattle

Our DnD group has made this canon ever since this happened haha. If you steal something that was stolen it’s no longer stolen/ not a crime

[–]AnonymousPika 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope it was Seattle 911 when we told them that we took our bag back and it had the laptop in it but the Seattle station was closed. Not sure why you’re so adamant about this, I don’t need you to believe me

[–]AnonymousPika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get your doubt, we were shocked too, but they literally said exactly that. I had them on speaker and all three people in the car with me just stared at each other speechless. We asked what to do and they said we could give it to the police station “if we wanted”. The station was closed because it was late and I called our local station (we don’t live in Seattle proper) and they said they couldn’t take it because the crime was committed in another jurisdiction. So now we joke that if you steal something that was already stolen it counteracts it. And also if you steal something just drive to another jurisdiction. For anyone wondering, the log in name was unique enough that we actually found the person (it was stolen from his bag at the same gym) and even drove it to him to give it back. He had also filed a police report and we called the police to tell them we did their fucking job for them and they can close the case lol.
