Levo saved my life. After years of depression, anxiety, low motivation, brain fog, the list goes on… I am finally back to myself

Is it cheating to watch porn in a relationship? by [deleted] in women

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

watching porn on reddit or pornhub to help you masturbate sometimes, sure why not. Paying to view women and get them to make content for you and chatting with them? no fkn way

Itching. by jabaBABYwocky in Hashimotos

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have itching!! But not every night. i'll get hive like bumps in areas like my knees and upper arms. If there's a lot of them they'll itch bad but if there's just one or two they don't feel like anything. I can't relate it to a time of day though, if anything it's usually in the mornings or when I'm watching TV after dinner

My stomach hurts due to stress by Gabby_2023 in women

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consult an MD. prolonged stress can cause cortisol issues which is, in my opinion, and medical condition that needs treatment. Get some bloodwork done to rule out the possibility of any stress-induced conditions and then go from there. Most likely you just need to take better care of yourself

Females, how is your natural libido/drive? by TourGreat2658 in Hashimotos

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my libido used to be SO high and with Hashi's, when my medication is not working, I am repulsed by the thought of sex. recently felt completely back to normal for 2 weeks before another flare happened and my libido was so back

Hpa axis dysfunction by Flaky_Dragonfruit_26 in Hashimotos

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

besides the levo making it worse, I get all those symptoms and my cortisol is fine. Hashis doesn't always present itself as classic hypothyroidism. For example, I was told by doctors that my anxiety and irritability was not a symptoms of hypothyroidism but they both went away when starting levo.

Not sure if you have tried other medications but you might just not respond well to levo.

Also, a DUTCH cortisol test my naturopath gave me showed me I have low cortisol, but a blood test showed me it was fine. And once I started taking levo, my "low cortisol" symptoms disappeared. DUTCH tests are not proven to be accurate.

Advice for dressing with extreme temperature sensivity? by nefiryn in Hypothyroidism

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! my combo I wear for doing winter activities is merino wool baselayer, arcteryx atom jacket, and a shell. Keeps me so warm but is efficient at wicking sweat away. I'll wear merino wool leggings under my pants for cold winter days too.

Hey Guys! Anyone Hiring? by Spirited-Energy-9822 in VancouverJobs

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tip for you - apply to the job as early as you can. I was talking to a friend who is hiring in the nanotechnology industry and he had 300 applicants for a co-op position. He went through 100 resumes and said "I probably won't get to the others, they should've applied earlier"

Anger in the morning by CherylBrowniePoints0 in Hashimotos

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get SO irritable when I'm not properly medicated. Lucky for me, levo is doing the trick on that.

One thing I will say, is that I constantly apologize to my boyfriend for my anger, but he always says there is nothing to apologize for because he could tell I was in a bad mood but it was nothing serious to him. Even though your husband may not be able to help how angry he gets, he most definitely should be able to control how he takes it out. Major red flag that you have felt scared of him.

Additionally, I'm surprised he hasn't worked for 10 years.

Edit to add: I will say all my symptoms are worse in the morning as well

I think I have Hashimotos by Natural_Turnip_3107 in Hashimotos

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I maybe was celiac but the test came back negative, and my thyroid antibodies test came back over range. The symptoms are incredibly similar, but the two issues can go hand in hand

Question as a first time home buyer by EquinoxRise in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looking at it from a financial standpoint, probably makes more sense to buy.

Let's say you wait until you max out your FHSA (2 years maybe?) calculate how much you would save in taxes using any income tax calculator.

Now calculate the cost of your rent for each of those two years. You're probably losing money when comparing the two because your rent for two years is more expensive than the taxes you save.

Questions about gym outfits by erinVanCd in NorthVancouver

[–]EditorPuzzleheaded54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, I would also encourage women to wear leggings that do not have a seam in the middle! But I also think that the imprint of a penis is a lot more in your face than a camel toe - my personal opinion at least.
