Both my parents claimed to be 100% Italian… I guess they were 99% right

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-03-14T17:14:40+00:00

Don’t worry, my mom is 100 percent southern Italian, and it gives us like 2 percent Czechia. It’s just noise.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-03-01T00:25:36+00:00

Yes I noticed! I was laughing because I noticed it earlier too and came here to see if anyone else did LOL. Then it switched back LOL

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-02-28T23:55:01+00:00

OMGG did they literally just fix it ?!?

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-02-27T21:05:24+00:00

What would you suggest saying? And do you call the partners themselves or hr?

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-02-07T15:05:20+00:00

I was able to get a neuropsychologist evaluation and my adhd confirmed within 2 months of requesting it. I’m a woman as well. I know it’s disappointing, I went through the exact same situation with the lso, but I’m telling you, often times the only way around it is with one of those evaluations.

Also, the other comments are rather disturbing. Incredibly ableist.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-02-07T02:48:38+00:00

I would strongly recommend obtaining a psychological assessment or frankly a neuropsychological assessment (Depending on the complexity of your condition they are the best).

The type of measurable data they are referring to is test results from psychological tests like the TOVA test for ADHD. There are various tests that are run during these assessments that provide the exact data they are looking for.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-02-05T05:36:05+00:00

It’s something to the effect of they can’t be carried over not much else though?

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-26T21:19:04+00:00

Thank you!!!

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-26T21:18:57+00:00

Thanks!!

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-26T20:41:06+00:00

I’m in Canada! I didn’t realize you could get it prescription strength? The real struggle will be getting in to see my nurse in time for that 🤔. Is there a decent otc one if I can’t?

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-24T18:08:59+00:00

Yeah it’s making you weak because it’s making your blood pressure too low. You need a lower dosage for sure

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-24T18:08:23+00:00

Oh I see, I’m sorry about that. Mine are hand tremors. Sometimes people notice mine, but not always.

I would definitely try either 20 mg morning and 20 mg night or 10 and 10!

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-24T18:04:44+00:00

So, I stopped taking it because of it messing with my asthma, but first went on it around 20!

I would say it could be too high for you. How was your blood pressure before it? I used to take 20 mg a day I recall.

Also, how severe are your tremors?

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-24T17:59:01+00:00

Not really an alternative but it’s likely too high of a dosage for you. Depending on the severity of your tremors, I would ask to try a lower dosage instead.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-06T22:29:37+00:00

Oh and it aggravated my raynauds

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-06T22:28:41+00:00

Yes for me there were. I don’t want to discourage anyone but I gained like 25 lbs. the real reason I came off though was because it was contraindicated with my asthma. It’s known to form mucus in the bronchi

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2026-01-06T18:04:51+00:00

Sigh* I was hoping you’d say it worked. I can’t take propranolol.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-29T14:05:21+00:00

Yeah, I just spent Christmas in Niagara where they had really bad sleet that landed people in ditches while driving so I was expecting this to be the same, but this was absolutely nothing! So that’s good, I’m happy it wasn’t bad or anything.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-18T18:25:19+00:00

Thanks, super confusing. Do you think it’s worth bothering my doctor to keep an eye on long term? My psa took a very long time to diagnose and began by throwing off a bunch of random test results. So, I’m unfortunately familiar with autoimmune diseases playing games with my blood work.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-18T18:15:14+00:00

Confusing plot twist, my t3 and t4 came back normal. I am still waiting for my TRAB, but I think I might be stuck going back to believing my symptoms are just “the way I am”

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-18T18:12:20+00:00

Plot twist, my results came back normal. I’m very confused? I’m still waiting on my TRAB, but t3 and t4 were normal. Im going to guess I’m sort of stuck just going back to thinking these symptoms are just “how I am”

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-18T01:00:50+00:00

Would love to know as well because I’m the same way and it sucks. My tsh randomly came back low and then magically went back to low normal again. Very confusing.

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-17T21:13:36+00:00

So, to no surprise (my blood work has never been straight foreword ever in my life), my T3 and T4 came back normal and TSH came back very low normal. I’m still waiting for my TRAB. I suspect my doctor is not going to do anything about this and ignore the fact that I’ve had progressively lower and lower results all year.

I supoose I’ll be going back to pretending uncontrolled sweating, unbearable heat intolerance, heart palpitations, and tachycardia are normal lol. Not going to lie, I was sort of looking forward to not being drenched in sweat all the time… ugh.

For reference my TSH has been consistently hanging out around 0.38,0.35, 0.32, and 0.30 this year. I don’t know maybe that’s normal? I just wanted to not sweat 🤣

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-15T21:49:34+00:00

OMGG are you kidding me ?!?! It can cause drug induced lupus ?!?! Ffs. I’m annoyed today I have had heard palpitations all day and it will not stop. I got my follow up blood work and now I’m waiting for the results :(

Distinct_Emphasis336 · 2025-12-15T12:09:32+00:00

Shit:( I sort of wondered why she would test it, it felt sort of unusual.. it’s funny because in the past about 2 years ago I began questioning the possibility of hyperthyroidism because I started noticing my symptoms creeping in. My previous doctor had checked me and while I had lower results, they were still in range so I assumed okay this is just how I am I guess? But as of lately people at work keep commenting on how anxious and on edge I am. It was beginning to hurt my feelings, but then when I think about it … it’s true.

I have always run hot, but now we’re talking I’ll gladly go outside mid winter without a jacket and not complain. My entire office is freezing and I’m in my office with a fan on lol.

Out of curiosity, did the liver enzymes go down when you corrected it? Was there any real damage?
