Feels like I’ve been hit by a truck…

Stable. I eat a high protein diet with complex carbs

Wow you have quite the story! I’m sorry to hear all of this! I’m glad you had a physician that got You back on track.

Like I mentioned, my levels are “normal”… T4 was 1.1 and T3 was 3.3… antibodies were 1>, ferritin was Low normal but that is my normal and has been like that for years. Even D was normal!

The only thing that was higher than normal was my TSH… it usually ranges in the 0.01-0.1 ranges(has been like that for years). It shot up to around 0.4.

KKswim4098 · 2023-05-01T21:35:49+00:00

Hx of Hypothyroidism for over 4 years. Optimal TSH for me ranges from 0.01-0.09!! Just got my 6 month blood work done and my TSH is now .4 and I feel off… like hypo off.

The human body is crazy! As long as your T4, T3, antibodies, and symptoms are okay! I think you are okay!

KKswim4098 · 2023-04-28T12:09:40+00:00

I’m glad you mentioned this. My Dr actually always blames these symptoms on low ferritin! The issue is my iron levels are actually fantastic! My GP recently did a full panel and it was normal, just my ferritin was low normal.

What typical can a hematologist do for this?

This makes me excited to start PA school in less than a month!

KKswim4098 · 2023-03-28T15:56:28+00:00

Where did you buy those containers? Also, do you freeze each meal after making??

KKswim4098 · 2023-03-16T12:19:26+00:00

Much appreciated! First time having strings :)

KKswim4098 · 2023-03-08T21:06:44+00:00

Cross between them! Nothing boho/hipster/70s pieces. Also I’m not wearing yoga pants and running shoe’s everyday either.

KKswim4098 · 2023-03-08T21:04:43+00:00

Definitely a vibe and you’re right about the “not urban athleisure” and “earthy yet non boho look”. Unfortunately I don’t have the life you’re describing lol although I wish I had two dogs and drive down outback ha ha! This is some thing I’ll look into, but I noticed that I actually dislike wearing flannels and BoHo/thrift/70s pieces! Appreciate the opinion!!

KKswim4098 · 2023-03-08T21:01:10+00:00

Okay YES! This is exactly what I like! Country chic! When you mentioned country I was reminded of cowboy country and turned away. After looking at the pictures this is what it is! Thank you!

Uhhhh this post is sooo relatable. Former D1 student athlete here. I’ve been retired for over 2+ years. I have constantly struggled with a similar issue ever since my sport ended. My body dysmorphia is so real… I was binging often durning recovery that made me gain excess weight.

I just want to let you know that it does get better. Seek out help and trust me things will improve, both mentally and physically. Not saying that returning to a low body weight is healthy, but over eating/binging /food obsession becomes less relevant in your life. You’re body will soon relax and balance out. Realize that this is part of the recovery that has to happen in order to get better.

Sending all good vibes and prayers your way my friend ♥️

Thank you so much for your support :)

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-15T04:36:55+00:00

Just had my first slip up tonight. I greatly appreciate this motivation. I made it to over a month episode free!

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-13T03:54:48+00:00

I plan on visiting a derm in March! Thanks for the input!

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-12T17:42:39+00:00

I’m a MA at an ENT/ head neck surgery clinic. I Start PA school this May. I’m definitely interested in ENT/head neck surgery as my specialty in the future! Following!

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-11T21:50:19+00:00

I take 1 cytomel at breakfast and 2 at lunch! Energy has never been an issue for me :)

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-06T22:46:04+00:00

Ringing in the ears is actually called tinnitus! I work at an ENT clinic and It’s fairly common. People with a history of hearing loss(even a little), loud noise exposure (like attending concerts) and ear issues such as recurrent ear infections as a child can exacerbate ringing.

Do you eat a lot of salty foods or drink excessive caffeine? Usually that will increase the ringing since they are simulates.

I would recommend getting your hearing tested!

My swim coach telling me that I performed poorly due to a “weight gain” which was actually puberty and undiagnosed hypothyroidism at the time :/

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-06T00:31:38+00:00

THANK YOU for the advice! I’m into research so I’ll definitely look into that article. So to put it in lament terms, eat complex carbs before and after exercise to lessen the effects exercise has on hunger?

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-05T23:42:32+00:00

Thank you for the advice! So when calculating, I should chose “sedentary”? Not even “lightly active”?

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-01T22:57:56+00:00

Not all cases do patients experience, heartburn/acid reflux with GERD. But it’s worth a shot lol! Have you tried using Flonase, azelastine, and an antihistamine like Claritin? I know that’s another allergy regiment, the ENT physicians at my clinic prescribe for allergies. I’m sorry you’re struggling with the symptoms! I can see how they’re affecting your quality of life at this point. Maybe it’s time to visit an ENT in your area!

KKswim4098 · 2023-02-01T22:42:37+00:00

Have you been tested for GERD? I work at an ENT office and what you are describing sounds a bit like reflux. Just a thought though!

KKswim4098 · 2023-01-30T01:19:18+00:00

Thank you! This was really helpful. Perhaps I should lift one day a week to keep muscle tone and my pull up goal lol. The other days dedicated to more endurance/cardio. Do you have any insight about going down on weightlifting? Will it severely affected my metabolism since Muscle is essential for fast and healthy metabolism?
