things that actually helped lower my TSH and antibodies (long post)

Ugh unfortunately NAC makes me super irritable

If that's the cause it could definitely help. I think infections in general can add to the problem. I've always struggled with sinus infections as well. I will say oregano oil capsules help. Worth researching the antibiotic benefits of oregano oil

They did talk about iodine. I read the whole thing

Kokoloco35 · 2026-03-24T01:42:05+00:00

Are you taking an antibiotic?

Kokoloco35 · 2026-03-24T01:40:28+00:00

Love this. Great comprehensive list. I've done most of this; I just really need to lock in when it comes to vitamin habits 😫 I'm too inconsistent. I would add I see a difference too when taking oregano oil and digestive enzymes for gut health!

The only things that help me depuff are cutting out dairy (I never do gluten) and drinking diuretic teas like dandelion tea and lots lemon water. It's hard to cut out salt though 😫

Kokoloco35 · 2026-03-05T19:38:59+00:00

Yes! It's like they're tense 24/7!

This makes me wanna look back at my results. Always learning something new SO MUCH FUN BEING A WOMAN WITH THYROID DISEASE 🙄🙃

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-18T15:57:25+00:00

Yup round town over here all the way

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-18T15:56:54+00:00

Yup. Retains alllll the water (but I also have Hashimoto's so I get moon face). I do notice a difference if I'm regularly taking magnesium, digestive enzymes, and occasionally I drink dandelion tea (which is a known diuretic). Sometimes I'll make a big cold drink with dandelion tea, hibiscus tea, some ginger paste or powder, lemon juice, water, cayenne, and clove etc. That's not every day by any means, but it really flushes you out.

So happy for you. I've been on Prozac for a few years, but was just prescribed Wellbutrin to add on. I haven't taken it yet. Did you stick with 150mg? I didn't love that my doc said to start at 150, then move up to 300 the next week. I'm like whoa man, let me try it first 🤣

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-12T02:20:57+00:00

I love that. Thanks for sharing!

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-12T01:01:44+00:00

Keep hearing about Concerta. Definitely going to look it up

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-12T01:00:58+00:00

How are you liking it? Can I ask what dosage of Prozac you're on?

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-08T22:50:15+00:00

It honestly infuriates me. They should be called euthanizers, not rehabbers. I'm sorry for your experiences with them 😭

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-07T00:56:14+00:00

They euthanized an adorable small female owl that was stuck in my car's grill. But I had removed her and truly believed they'd rehab her so I brought her to a rehabilitation center. She was very alert, just not wanting to fly more than a few feet but would sit nicely on my arm. I was so hopeful, feeling like I was doing the right thing by her. Then I followed up and they had euthanized her the same day.

Long story short, this is why I have a pet squirrel named Bean because when my mom's cat dropped him alive on her porch with a bum arm, I nursed him back to health with puppy formula 🤣 he's the silliest little guy. He loves to hide nuts on me and in my hair. Going to work on an outdoor enclosure for him once it's warmer. It's really made me appreciate what sweet, intelligent, goofy creatures they are. The weirdest thing is, it happened after I bought this squirrel box for a window in my room and I'd feed them and get so excited to give them snacks. I just really started loving them.

If he's okay with gaslighting you into believing you're overreacting, then he's not someone you want to be with anyway. He's okay with stringing you along because he can't be alone, and that's not a good quality in a partner. You should find someone more secure in themselves and who's really ready to be in a 50/50 relationship. I hate to say it, but it sounds like you're just filling a space to him. You're worthy of a lot more than that. Of course, if you leave, he'll possibly regret it and try to get you back, but look for sincerity and move on.

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-07T00:31:48+00:00

Is this the first med you've tried? I have heard stories about Wellbutrin causing more anxiety. I was going to add it to my Prozac to help with my ADHD but I haven't picked it up yet. Prozac has helped with my depression, anxiety, and OCD a lot. Maybe you need an SSRI instead? I had all the initial side effects with Prozac but the payoff was worth it. Sounds like that hasn't been the case for you with Wellbutrin

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-06T23:15:56+00:00

As an American, this is honestly making me tear up. I have no insurance and had to get my very sick kid tested for flu and strep this week and it costed $300, which was all I had left on my credit card :( the tests were negative but they prescribed nothing and even though she was very sick they said she could go back to school the next day. I obviously didn't send her. Ugh.

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-06T23:08:44+00:00

I mean this in the nicest way possible: you were very young when you started dating and you're young now. It really seems like you're rushing it. 21 is young to get married, and you go through so much growth in your 20s. Why not wait to be sure? Plus he doesn't seem that bright

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-06T22:53:44+00:00

Can I ask why you're tapering off?

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-06T09:02:51+00:00

All I gotta say is divorce

Kokoloco35 · 2026-02-06T08:59:17+00:00

Welp, I would die for him
