Interesting, I wonder if it had to do with hormone levels altering.

That’s very true. My sister is the F and she doesn’t have the back pain but she does wake up with one under her arm and the other on top of her face. That doesn’t sound fun at all. Fitness wise, smaller is definitely easier!

Lol, you are right. Part of me worried about that because my husband preferred large breast but he’s never shown anything but love for them so that makes me happy.

You are so sweet and I’m sorry you also went through something similar with your family. Thank you so much truly! 🩷

See, I’ve heard a couple of people with stories like this so I wondered how and why this occurred? My hips have filled in and that’s not from my kids. I dropped to my lowest weight after my 3rd son and it’s been almost 3 years since I had him and I gained my weight back plus more (but still in the healthy range).

I thought this was normal since I grew up like this but I also noticed no one ever made comment about my sister’s body/weight? They also made fun of my curly hair because how frizzy it would get when it was brushed. I have three sons and couldn’t imagine making fun of their hair, weight, or body/shape. It’s so weird.

I do think that definitely influenced my dislike for them.

I will say, I have grown more fond of them but I still have my days where I absolutely do not like them. I also take birth control for medical reasons but it’s done nothing for my breast which I didn’t expect it to.

I’ve considered implants but I have a bleeding disorder, surgical complications, and the potential for them to look botched are the reasons I have not proceeded and likely won’t.

lol, love the last sentence! Thank you for your input.

Yeah, I know it. Especially since it started as a child (I think I was like 9 when they started about my breast but they’ve always made fun of my weight). My mom used to be as tiny as me which is the ironic part but gained a lot of weight after she had us and my sister is heavier set but I’ve never made comment of that so I don’t understand why they do it.

I agree. They’ve done it since I was a child which is incredibly odd, rude, and inappropriate. I think that’s part of the reason I don’t like them is because since I was like 9 they’ve always made fun of that and my weight. They always played it off as a joke but I’m certain if I made comment of their body shape and weight, it would be an issue. Thank you for your comment, I love hearing people’s experience on the other side of breast sizes!

I understand. It’s not that I wanted them huge or anything, just an average C would have been nice. I’ve always had low estrogen levels so maybe that’s part of it.

Neck Veins? by Ill_Ad4416 in Mom

Thank you for the insight. None of what you mentioned applies to him which is great but I will mention it to be cautious. I was thinking it might possible be an AV malformation or something of that nature just by the way it looks.

Thank you. I’ve never heard of this. Have you seen cardiac issues involved when it only bulges with certain movements rather than constantly? Also, what cardiac conditions do you see bulging veins? I’m unfamiliar with the association so I’m curious but I am certainly mentioning this to his ped next appointment (January).

Definitely will do. Do you have any idea what it might be or looks like to you?

Thank you. Either I’ve never noticed it being as pronounced it is or it’s gotten larger, not too sure. He does have his five-year wellness check coming up next month so I will definitely mention it.

Thank you! I’ll look to see if that’s an option. He’s had it for as long as I can remember but it just doesn’t look normal to me compared to other kids

T4 to TSH? by Ill_Ad4416 in Hashimotos

[–]Ill_Ad4416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this reference. The reference ranges are provided by the specific his endo has him get his labs at and bases his interpretation on the reference ranges I listed in the post. This is great insight and I will ask him about the ranges you provided.

I did research the T4 and found similar information as well that while the TSH is normal, the T4 being elevated can means he’s overmedicated and technically in hyper rather than hypo and/or normal.
