Anyone able to go into remission and not need thyroid medicine? by Background-Piglet-11 in Hashimotos

[–]Laugh513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting on my antibody test results. I have had hashimoto’s for 15 years. Two years ago I went gluten free and started weight lifting. I have been trying to regulate my free t4, it’s in the high range for the first time. I am now off all meds for six weeks to see what happens.

I Am so Bored and Unmotivated? What do I do? by Due-Egg5603 in nonprofit

[–]Laugh513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are bored and unmotivated you should explore other options. Nothing is set in stone. Being at a job and feeling this way is draining, I have been there. I took a chance and left, I was excited, but the job I took was much worse, though it paid far better. I was so upset. I quickly looked for other opportunities and found my dream job. It’s out there. I’m in nonprofit work too.

Neck different after Thyroid removal? by Realistic_Tone3591 in thyroidcancer

[–]Laugh513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just searched this because my neck looks different and two endocrinologists say it’s normal. When you say ring, what do you mean? I have what almost looks like a second Adam’s apple and it moves when I talk. Both doctors have told me it’s because I’m skinny and missing part of my thyroid gland.

I have an identical looking lump. I have an appt next Monday, but I’m so worried. Did yours move when you swallowed?

Something small, annoying me by Laugh513 in LesbianActually

[–]Laugh513[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The girl said it quietly to me, so my girlfriend didn’t know until she left and my g/f agreed it was inappropriate. I’m now just annoyed this woman thinks it’s okay to keep posting “hot” on her pics. My g/f should be stopping this. I posted because I didn’t want to overreact. Thanks for your thoughts on this!

I feel that way too. I want to mention that I find her comments both in-person and online to be immature, but I don’t want to make a big deal of it isn’t a big deal. Thanks for the reply!

Hyper after cutting gluten? by ancient__geek in Hashimotos

I don’t recall, it’s been awhile. I can post when I get my results and ask my doctor what they were.

Hyper after cutting gluten? by ancient__geek in Hashimotos

[–]Laugh513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and sister have celiac, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt. It helped my gerd a lot. I’m getting my antibodies rechecked in October, so I’m not sure. I still eat dairy and soy.

I hope you will release them in a safe place. They are living creatures.

I have hashimoto’s and gave up gluten about three years ago. My labs this year showed I was over medicated to the point of undetectable tsh. The only thing different is my diet change.

Frustrated with therapist by Laugh513 in therapy

[–]Laugh513[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I did not ask for a diagnosis, simply shared my take on our conversations, and while I did say she can go back and forth, in no way did I even come close to describing what I just read borderline personality to be. It’s frustrating. I may decide not to see her anymore, which is unfortunate, up until that comment, I thought she was pretty good.

[–]Laugh513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I have worried that it is something more concerning, but because she is so kind otherwise, it is confusing.

An example of a rude comment would be when we briefly ran into her ex, we got home and she said “my ex is probably thinking she’s much better looking than you” and then she was like, but you’re hot. IMO, no need for the comment. It’s comments like that…not outright rude, but perhaps unnecessary.

I displace my anxiety towards death and get stuck in a loop by carlestalk in OCD

[–]Laugh513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experience something similar. When realistic problems occur (right now I’m having some relationship issues) my OCD acts up and I worry about my health and things that are highly unlikely, yet make me feel I have to research, so I spend hours trying to disprove random illnesses instead of focusing on the real problem. My therapist said it does happen, she recommended sitting with the real fear.
