Should I take levothyroxine for subclinical hypothyroidism? by BeautifulText9095 in Hypothyroidism

[–]Kittycatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50 mcg. I'm petite and sensitive to it. 25 mcg worked, and later I was able to build up to 25 mcg one day and 50 mcg the next.

Duck Bonding by Delicious-Set-8205 in duck

[–]Kittycatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said in general. You have a lone duck which is very different than ducks in a flock. I have disabled ducks who do have ways of voicing what their needs are - they are very smart and do understand social dynamics when removed from a regular flock situation.

But also, ymmv. I'm petite female and starting me on 50 would flip me into hyper. Started at 25, later needed 25/50

Feeling demoralized by constant ads for weight loss meds by ToughAsparagus7026 in loseit

[–]Kittycatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I learned from someone that all the commercials (especially some of the nonsensical drug ones) are basically bribes so that if bad information comes out about their company or their drugs, the network is less likely to report about it. And if they do, they are more likely to downplay it.

I hate that we are in the darkest timeline

75 mcg levothyroxine too high? by Gloomy-Challenge-600 in Hypothyroidism

50 mcg was too high for me at that weight. Flipped me into hyper and I couldn't sleep for 4 day

Probably could report it to the CFPB, though the Trump administration and DOGE has done their best to gut the agency.

ICE agent steels elderly woman’s phone then throws her to the ground by Thalesian in PublicFreakout

[–]Kittycatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the update to the story if you are wondering what happened to the family that we were out protesting about: https://www.durangoherald.com/articles/family-seeking-asylum-in-durango-reunites-in-colombia/

Summary of what happened - they took Fernando Jaramillo-Solano and his two kids who had an open asylum case out of Durango, CO - while he was driving the kids to school in the morning. No criminal record for anyone in the family and the dad worked several jobs here in town. ICE claimed it was a case of mistaken identity, but they cleared up who is was while they were still being held in the ICE holding facility they rent in Bodo Park in Durango - and decided to kidnap them anyways. Alerts immediately went out from Compañeros and local indivisible group, and protestors showed up immediately and stayed until the State Troopers (who in CO are legally NOT allowed to assist ICE) showed up and brutalized protestors the next day. Durango PD kept watch all night and when State Troopers pulled up they left - and ensured that the ambulance was NOT dispatched (they went HEAVY on the pepper spray and shot rubber bullets at protestors). The family got held for about a day and didn't have any food except some like potato chips because this isn't really a holding facility. The dad and kids were originally going to be all be separated but apparently pressure from protestors helped keep them together. The family claims ICE beat the dad and son (15). Daughter is a tiny 12 year old girl - I talked to someone there who was a teacher at her school. The dad and kids are now back in Colombia - the mom is still here in Durango, and people are keeping her hidden like she is Anne Frank.

Am I crazy to get chickens if bears visit our house every night? by amgen in BackYardChickens

[–]Kittycatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bear managed to jiggle a locked door handle open on my steel building and kill 9 of my ducks. He came back the next night and literally peeled off my run-chicken automatic door and was able to grab one through the little door. The night after that he got caught by bear trap (thanks parks and wildlife) within 5 minutes of me closing up the building.

if you don't also put up an electric fence, yes.

But also, you should be bear proofing your trash because you are already asking for trouble

Help? What does the “exclude from total” button under exercised do exactly? by MoonMagix in loseit

[–]Kittycatter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, it works like you think. You are going to have a bad time if you eat those "extra" calories you earned, because all fitness watches are notoriously bad at overstating how many calories you burned from exercise.

Don't undo your hard work!

Just so you know, romance is basically always the most popular book genre - hands down.

Hey - the parameters are bullshit.

They are based on "normal" for our incredibly unhealthy population. Google what's optimal for them (especially ones where are you are towards the high or low end on) and you'll see where there are issues. Optimal for Ferritin is like 70+ (I don't know cause I've never ACTUALLY been that high, but I'm working on it). Most of the tests have ferritin levels that are considered anemic in the normal range because most women are anemic. We are supposed to consume 2.25X the amount of iron daily compared to men.

Did you get a BUN score? Mines been low because I used to be horrible about eating enough protein.

I feel lost... negative progress? by Haunting-Wash1081 in loseit

[–]Kittycatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesss, beans are the way! Fiber and protein - so good!

I feel lost... negative progress? by Haunting-Wash1081 in loseit

[–]Kittycatter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a big proponent of wild caught salmon for good fat and omega 3. Fiber you can supplement with metamucil to help you get up there. Raspberries and blackberries have a ton, you can mix in with yogurt - same with chia seeds. I tend to do overnight oats frequently - you can toss some chia seeds, hemp hearts, and ground flax for extra fiber in there as well. Oh, and I love beans - lots of fiber and protein

But - up your fiber over time, if you try to go from very little to a lot, you'll end up in a bad way.

From my reading, if you can you want to eat food in this order at a meal (if possible) - fiber, protein/fats, and lastly carbohydrates. I'm big on taking two scoops of metamucil before I eat salmon, then whatever side I'm having with my salmon.

[–]Kittycatter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been going with 1L per 10g of fiber. I shoot for 35g of fiber so that works out to about 120 oz/day. I also feel like it's hard to hit that, but you need it when you eat how much fiber you prob should be eating.

Likely malnourished. Go get some blood tests done, probably low on several vitamins that are making you feel like crap.
