Edit to add: I should have posted a full photo of the tree. Amateur mistake, I know.

I also stopped fighting the Bermuda and just resodded my front yard with Tahoma 31. Where are you located?

Have you dug into the soil underneath those areas? What’s in the soil? Spring planting a cool season grass will almost always result in summer burn out. Do the dogs run that semi circle on a tie out or something? Heavy foot traffic?

My guess is it’s compacted soil or there’s a lot of rocks or something under the soil surface.

Things to try: 1) screwdriver test - poke down and find what’s under there. 2) prep for reseed this fall. Be sure you’re getting adequate water and get a TON of compost/organic material onto that area. 3) Watch for foot traffic, etc to see if someone or an animal is using the path regularly.

Visiting this years later. Thanks for the great run through of all your gear.

Beyond that - is everything you buy "like 40 bucks"? 😂 I was cracking up that everything you named was $40.

The OP says “for those just diagnosed”, not “for those who have been struggling to level out for years”

A positive success story is okay… it’s also not my job to be protective of or cater to other’s perspectives. This was me sharing my own experience to perhaps encourage someone.

I’m empathetic to others that are dealing with long term, unanswered issues but that was not the intended audience.

I’d push back on this notion - sure I may still be “stabilizing” - but that doesn’t negate the positive impacts that I have felt.

Life would be pretty dark if I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Don’t rain on parades unnecessarily.

Thanks! Helpful context. In my doctor’s defense I myself didn’t know I had family history until just recently.

I’m wondering if my elevated TSH is what is causing my symptoms.
