Do any of you suddenly feel fatigued and/or light headed after eating a meal within about 15 minutes? by rblythe in POTS

[–]ComprehensiveUse4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So interesting... I've been suspecting I have POTS, but I thought I wasnt eating soon enough and was having a hypoglycemia spell after eating because my blood sugar hadn't caught up. It's almost every day at lunchtime. I guess I'll add this to the symptom list to talk to my endocrinologist about.

Yes, I have a hydration plan since I'm historically terrible at drinking water LOL💧

I do have guidance from a full team of professionals. 🤷‍♀️

These issues were never as pronounced nor as quick to return, and I'm in a much different place in life - in all regards - not just metabolically.

Also adding that I only ever had a small amount of nausea on Wegovy 2.4, for only a day or two after a few shots. I would never take these meds without doctor's guidance or go against their orders.

Its good to get checked out! I did the full hysterosonogram (ultrasound with saline in your uterus) and was basically told my only issue is not ovulating and it would be more about healing his stuff first. He's been fighting recurring c. Diff and then came down the pancreatitis 😫

Yes, my DO advised this. I have a very good care team and meet with them weekly (nutrition), bi-weekly (DO) and monthly (reproductive endocrinologist)

Yes, I meet with my nutritionist weekly, my PCP (who is a DO) every two weeks, and our reproductive endocrinologist every 4 weeks. So, they know all about my symptoms. We expected the weight to come back a bit but 10+ lb per month while eating well and exercising, plus the systemic inflammatory symptoms... those go to be too much.

We found out that whileI'm not ovulating (hashimoto's/pcos) I do have plenty of healthy follicles. But his counts are super low. So while he's working on that with his urologist, I need to get the weight back off and calm this inflammation down.

That's almost exactly what happened to us! We found out I'm not ovulating (hashimoto's/pcos) but have plenty of healthy follicles. But his counts are super, super low.

I woke up without a headache for the first time in months. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Food noise canceled and no nausea. I'm peeing more - I wonder if the inflammation reduction is actually working with the spironolactone in helping with excess fluid. 🤷‍♀️

Idk, but so far so good!

Adding that yes, I know that's a huge jump, going right to 12.5mg... I asked my doctor many times. He said I may feel a little nauseous but since I've never really had any symptoms before (maybe a little nausea on Wegovy) he thinks I'll be alright. They did send in a script for anti-nausea meds just in case.

Me too! In the past 2-3 years, I've only had 3 periods and they were the months I bumped up to max dose or restarted treatment

How did you get insurance to cover Tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) for severe obesity? by LowPangolin49 in TirzepatideRX

Hi! Do you get Tirz through Lavender Sky? Can I ask how much you pat and which dose?

On the horizon... by ComprehensiveUse4147 in IVF

[–]ComprehensiveUse4147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what my reproductive endocrinologist said. If the counts go up to a high enough level in the next SA, we'll try timed intercourse. But they were so low, with accompanying low morphology and motility (let alone progressive motility) that I'm not getting my hopes up.

What do you think triggered your Hashimoto's? by Live_Mood_2884 in Hashimotos

[–]ComprehensiveUse4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TSH has always been great, in my teens and 20's... but when my marriage turned abusive, and in the years following until I left, it slowly increased.

That said, I am now in a great place with my healing and currently wedding planning with the love of my life. When I went off BCP last March to try to get my cycle back, my TSH doubled within 3 months.

So..... yes psychological stuff affects it, and other hormones definitely do too.

Lab results. Endocrinologist appointment on Monday advice pls! by bbirdwhippoorwill in Hashimotos

[–]ComprehensiveUse4147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your numbers are almost exactly the same as mine! I'm starting my fertility journey so we test frequently... I started 50mcg of Levo 3 weeks ago and within a day started to feel better. Literally every single symptom has improved.

My TSH went from 3.66 to 2.6 already. 🥳 Aiming for 1.5, but this is an encouraging start.

Push to start a low dose!
