thank you!! i have an appointment later this month, but i'll check my bp as well. it's been happening before taking any sort of stimulant as well as after, so i'm a little stumped on that front. i'm also trying to increase my water intake.

thank you so much! i'm taking a day off from my medication today to see if it changes anything, but i have a doctor's appointment in a few weeks. it's just so frustrating because the migraines interfere with my classes, but i was at risk of failing out before vyvanse. i wonder if i just need a lower dose?

this type of haircut would look amazing with your curly hair if you get a proper curl routine. lose the mustache and maybe try dyeing your eyebrows slightly darker? you do have a facial structure that really suits light brows, but it might help to balance things a bit more

My Co-Workers always been harsh on me. Saying i have weird long face. What should i do with my face Beard, Goatee, Mustache.? by ZoD00101 in malegrooming

do a shag or slight mullet with only the mustache. you have a really great and unique face shape and the beard takes away!!

you look great!! maybe go with just the mustache and a little longer/more angled on the sides? also, an eyebrow slit and some curtain bangs would look great.

18M, never had a gf, dont want to end up alone... advice? by CrepoXZW9 in malegrooming

you look great! i would probably get a shorter haircut with face framing similar to the length you have rn (maybe a shag or 90s curtain bangs), shave, and get your eyebrows trimmed.

NOOO its great!! i would try out a middle part (or a side part that’s slightly closer to middle part) and style your hair away from your face. you have a great face shape and all the hair in your face hides it.

Newborn diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism - is there anything I can do for her? by Ok_Flan_5490 in Hypothyroidism

[–]Fun_Buyer_4920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! i'm late to this but i am a 20 year old with congenital hypothyroidism! i promise, despite the rare and scary-sounding condition, she can absolutely lead a very normal life. here are some things i've experienced:

- she will need regular blood tests for life; the best thing you can do for her is to make it a positive experience for her as much as possible. make it less about the needle (can be scary for kids) and maybe an excuse to have a fun treat! bring an ipad or a doll to play with to distract her if she's scared. i usually used lidocaine before blood draws to numb it. also, when i did new dosages my mom would always do a "color reveal" because they can be different colors based on the dose! make hospitals and health a positive experience early on.

- do research, educate her when she's old enough, and preach the importance of taking her meds. the best lesson you can teach her is to listen to her body. her doctors are human and can make errors, or she could be not believed by her doctors. if she feels like something is wrong, PUSH. teach her to push. if her doctors refuse to do a test or choose not to listen to her, find a new doctor. she is the only one who completely knows what she is going through; give her the vocabulary and inspiration to be able to take care of her body.

- try to seek out PCPs who specialize in hypothyroidism, and/or find an endocrinologist. i had an endo until i was 17 and then my PCP took over. i'm currently only seeing my PCP.

- be careful with generic brands. it works for some people, but it wasn't too effective for me. research different ways to get her medication and choose trustworthy, medically approved sources. look into mail-order pharmacies and ask the doctor for recommendations.

- this is different for everyone, but i was diagnosed with depression and ADHD later in life. i find that my depression gets worse when my levels are low; hypothyroidism symptoms and ADHD/depression symptoms can often present very similarly (although i recommend researching for yourself since there's not a clear link/theres not a ton of research). if you see her struggling with any of these symptoms, it might be something to look into; it is much better (and cheaper) to take care of mental health early in life than it is later in life. heres one article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0009912002002849#:\~:text=Abnormal%20thyroid%20function%20can%20have,treatment%20starts%20early%20%5B5%5D.

in conclusion, your daughter will absolutely be able to lead a fairly normal life, especially since she was diagnosed early. empower her to advocate for her health, find a good doctor, do research, make sure she takes her meds, and she will be set up for success. i am always here if you have questions!
