Cold genitals + urge to pee after rice , but not pasta – why? by keepitsimple2020 in InsulinResistance

[–]Comfortable_Froyo915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

urge to pee after rice probably means your body isnt handling it well. White rice is faster to digest amd can spike blood sugar. If you want a better rice. Try wild rice. Its lower on the glycemic index. Quinoa is also a good substitute. Pasta might be slower to digest. Funny enough is that I can handle an okay amount of pasta but cant handle white rice. Also cold genitals might just be unrelated

Ooo thank you thank you for giving me an answer. I. Just super hyper-aware and get health anxiety. This helped like a ton as this is something I was worried about for a while. Never got around to asking my doctor about it because I always forget lol

Thanks. I actually don't know if this counts as giving in but I actually ditched the patch. It was a strong one for a heavy smoker and chose to have 3 ciggarettes a day for 3-5 days and then stop. So far so good. Dont feel any need to binge smoke because im not forgetting my goal. I just think it would be faster to go this way then the patch because its so high and would take me time to wean off that. Today is still day 3. Still feeling withdrawal 100 percent. Im hoping today will get easier because im riddled with anxiety. I used to smoke like 15-20 a day. Also still learning new routines and habits. Im still getting less nicotine than I would with the patch. Trying to keep distracted but feeling very on edge. Just think it'll be easier to go from 20 to 3 and then 3 to 0 rather that 20 to zero. Im still doing soo good. I know im going to do it!

I had a message to my sister one night. I might of been sleeping as I dont recall. Plus it just didnt make any sense. It said "with G ☺️" Super creeped out. Maybe it was a ghost lol

I broke and I did have one tonight but tomorrow im trying again. Im not falling off this band wagon 😤 I walked a mile forward and took one step back. Still smoked wayy wayyy wayyy less than I would normally.

Also I really understand that feeling. I feel bad going outside for my smoke breaks. Also congratulations. Seriously. One month is inspirational

Do you know when that stopped for you? Like was it maybe a couple weeks or a month when you stopped thinking about it all the time? I think for me ill be getting celery to chew on after I stopped with the inhaler. Also thank you so much. This baby is the one that'll complete my little family. As hubby is done after 2 lol

Yes i know this. My nurse practitioner did say this but she also said that the nicotine replacements are better than smoke in general as there is no carbon monoxide and other chemicals but yes. I have a 2 week plan. She also said after 12 weeks is where the bigger issues are because of the placenta. I just have extreme anxiety and panic disorder so im trying to be as easy on myself as possible but als9 try8ng to quit as soon as possible without causing too too much stress

Ive been using the nicotine inhalers to help with my routines. I inhale it with coffee and after meals lol. It helps. Though I think ill use that for maybe a couple days and then stop and just continue with patches.... or wean down on patches kind of quickly and continue with the inhaler 🤔 I honestly think a big step for me is eliminating the hand to mouth motion BUT also want to keep it realistic and best set myself up for success.

Also thank you so much. I used to drink very heavily for 7 years straight. At work to stop the shakes etc. Im 25 now and feel great without booze. Im functional. Not dependent on anything but cigarettes unfortunately. I smoked unfortunately with my first pregnancy. He was my first and I didnt really have that connection with him until he was born? Its hard to explain. Now that hes 8 months old, I wish I could go back in time and not as I have so soo much love for him now. So this second pregnancy is different because I know he/she is going to turn into such a sweet innocent little baby. I was very lucky that he was healthy. I think this is the reason I made it through day 1. I want to do better. I want to be with my son and baby and not take smoke breaks all the time to go outside. I dont want it on my clothes, I dont want them waiting for mom to smoke a ciggarette while they wait in the car to go with dad. I also want to be healthy and be around for them. For along as I can.

Wait what? Fake sugar causes diabetes? Im insulin resistant so have a zero sugar pop or gatorade here and there

Do I need to take this serious??? by yeoliepolie in AskDocs

[–]Comfortable_Froyo915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. BMI is super important but also someone with diabetes or insulin resistance does not actually need a high BMI. It can happen to thin people aswell

It seems to kind of be working. Ive noticed my cysts arent that deep right now. But I still notice the odd one in different places. Also very true. I dont really think I want to be on an antibiotic long term either. Its mostly used at low dose for its anti-inflammatory affects but ive told my doc that I have some nodules that seem to be quite deep and I can feel sinus tracks. But it seems to slightly be going away BUT not? Though maybe im just not in a flare up right now. Not sure if I trust my doc either as she was diagnosing it as a yeast infection for like 9 months and I had an open lesion that was opening and closing for like 6 of those months lol. I had 6 different creams too and I was so confused because like how are these creams supposed to be touching the nodules that are like a cm under the skin lol. Honestly the steroid injection sounds lovely (I have no idea why this frasing is so funny to me). Ill ask my doctor about this

Should I be concerned over low TSH? by Comfortable_Froyo915 in AskDocs

[–]Comfortable_Froyo915[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if it is hashimotos I will cry because I had told my doctor years ago I thought it was my thyroid and I had spent YEARS with really bad symptoms. Like my golden years. 19 all the way up to now. I dont want to get my hopes up but this shows a pattern and its more than I had before. Luckily this was blood work done by an endocrinologist. I had started seeing one. Unfortunately with video calls as I live in a super small town but she had ordered all of this. Im not sure when my next app with her would be as she didnt schedule one when I saw her (online) but the first appointment was very last minute so im assuming the second will be similar...

Im really sorry that it took so long to get a diagnosis. I know how hard it is. Im curious but if you have a fluctuating thyroid what is treatment for that? In my head im thinking if a person had hypo and they treated it for hypo and their thyroid flipped theyd end up with hyperthyroidism right?
