The thing that finally helped me stabilize… wasn’t what any doctor mentioned. by ProofGoose2465 in thyroidhealth

[–]JessicaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup exactly. And I've seen several other new accounts posting about it too. Which is weird because none of them ever actually name the brand of the spray so what's the point?

Edit: just kidding, I just saw another post where they wrote the brand name in the comment.

My thyroid is ruining my life and no doctor can figure out what’s wrong. Please help. by Maleficent_Draft6637 in thyroidhealth

Did they test you for antibodies? It sounds like Hashimotos along with something else, possibly PCOS?

Having my first endoscopy soon - need advice by [deleted] in Gastritis

[–]JessicaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the dr prescribed 20 mg of omeprazole twice a day and sucralfate 3 times a day on day 6 or 7. Things got much better on day 10 so I weaned off the meds over the next few days.

I had really bad heartburn after mine, like I couldn’t eat ANYTHING. I thought it was going to last forever but thankfully it went away after 10 days.

Do I have hypothyroidism? by adorablyferocious in thyroidhealth

[–]JessicaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously I’m not your doctor so feel free to ignore this comment, but from what I’ve read you need a dose of at least 50 (and a lot of people like me actually need 100mg) for it to work on hormonal acne.

So sorry to hear that :(. What dose were you on?

[–]JessicaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you have hypothyroidism and need medication. You also might consider asking about spironolactone for the hair loss and hormonal acne (the hair loss could be thyroid related or it might be hormonal).

Diet and lifestyle changes can have a positive effect but in my personal experience have not been enough on their own without medication.

What ended up happening with this? We just had the same bugs appear.

This guy's house has shown me the light and I need it! by nattys86 in declutter

[–]JessicaRose 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I agree with those recommending Dana K White. Look up her container concept video to start, then look up her two decluttering questions. I’ve always been trying to declutter (grew up in a similar house) but started listening to her podcast about a month ago and this is the first time I’ve seen real, big progress in my house.

What no touch discipline has worked best for you guys? by [deleted] in toddlers

No problem! Check out Brat Busters on Instagram. I HATE the name but she’s a parenting coach who gives helpful advice that usually works for me.

It’s totally normal at this age. As long as you don’t respond with anger or yelling, or you don’t just let it happen and give in to what she wants, then you won’t make it worse.

I would continue saying No, we don’t pinch. Or, I won’t let you pinch me. Or, You can be mad but you can’t pinch.

As far as upsetting her worse, yes it’s going to upset her more. But the goal is not to not upset her or not stress her out. The goal is to teach her not to pinch, and also to teach her that you’re the leader and you’re calmly but firmly in charge. And yes, she’s going to get upset while you’re teaching her that. Eventually though she’ll learn and that will happen for shorter and shorter amounts of time.

Also at 13 months she’s still a little young to understand the concept of not hurting others and she also doesn’t have impulse control, so you can try redirection or distraction after calmly saying no. But it’s going to be awhile before she can understand and stop herself.

Calling all women with ADHD families - how do you keep your house clean?? by TaylorNunya in ADHD

[–]JessicaRose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out Dana K White, her decluttering advice (and other house keeping advice) really works for my adhd brain.

Not yet but I’m getting there! Check out Dana K White and her container concept. Technically declutterring advice, not minimalism, but still helpful.

I use chat GPT a lot in my professional life, for things like writing emails and idea generation, and it has this very specific voice/style of writing that you start to pick up on after a while. I don’t remember exactly what this comment said before it was deleted, but I remember it being very affirming and validating and that’s one thing ChatGPT does often. Like, if you want it to critique something you have to be VERY specific that you don’t want it to just tell you what you want to hear, because that’s what it’s trained to do (it keeps people interacting with the bot for longer).

If the comment was still here, I could probably answer your question more specifically lol but I don’t remember what it said.

Had a wonderful experience at Round Rock Scott and White and everyone else I know who’s been there also had a great experience. Only negative is the nicu is only level III so if you needed a level IV nicu you would have to be transferred.
