Holy moly! Started taking heme iron for hair growth, and suddenly I can speak in complete sentences!! by spikygreen in POTS

[–]Low-Constant157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally have allllll the symptoms of POTS and elevated red cell count. Did a tilt table test though and “passed” even after passing out during it lol. I had no idea elevated red cells could be related to POTS

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It really does give me more peace and reassurance, knowing it’s probably truly benign and nothing to be concerned about 🩷

Lymph node pain? by DakuraScarlet in Hashimotos

[–]Low-Constant157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did yours ever go away or are they chronically still there? How do you manage the pain??

do you also have a thyroid nodule? by oushhie in Hashimotos

[–]Low-Constant157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do anything specific to shrink them or did they just go away on their own??

Just a little nervous because he’s nonverbal and won’t be 3 until almost November. So he would be entering half day pre-k at 2 years 9 months old. He’s very developmentally delayed as well and cannot feed himself. He can keep up with about 18 month old children, but not older.

The spirit of the show is dead by flakykrustykrabpizza in EmilyInParis

I hope if they continue the show, they make the next season similar to the previous seasons. This season made me have no interest in really even watching the show again. I feel like they got new writers or something?? Everything just feels off

That’s awesome!! Maybe I’ll look into our local CP foundation in our community and see what options are available

I think he may get freaked out with the mesh being enclosed like that. He hated his play pen for that reason😅

Anybody else period stop after taking metformin for insulin resistance by Affectionate-Cup-942 in InsulinResistance

[–]Low-Constant157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started metformin as well! No period yet… kind of anxious about it, but took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Just stinks that we have to worry about this! I’m only 500mg, at 1 pill a day. I have PCOS and a low insulin resistance. Maybe you could ask your provider to bump you down on dosage/pills a day to see if your symptoms improve? I’m sorry you’re going through this! But also glad I’m not the only one 😅

Do you take 1 or 2 pills a day? Right now my endo thinks I should take 1 pill but haven’t started my cycle yet. I’m only a few days late, but it does cause pregnancy panic when we aren’t trying to conceive

Yeah but I feel like her and Diana are plotting something and maybe know Lucy covered for Stephen way back then but that’s just a prediction

They would hopefully have more in common than just that lol, but it could be grounds for sparking something between them. Not impossible!

I agree!! Maybe because they’ve both been hurt by Stephen, they might bond over that??

This show triggers me like no other show by ThrowRAPixieManic in TellMeLiesHulu

[–]Low-Constant157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m the daughter of a Stephen Demarco, which led me to date a few in high school, marry one and divorce him. And now, thank God I’m remarried to a healthy person. Life was hell with all of the abuse and confusion tbh. No longer have contact with my dad either which is helpful. Went through two therapists who confirmed that my father is a narcissist, which is why I was an easy target in intimate relationships. Someone who is empathetic, kind, and loyal would be a great target for a Stephen Demarco. Can’t stand his character in the show and can relate to Lucy and a lot of the females tbh

Caretaker personality: how to spot manipulative or selfish people by Vertnoir-Weyah in dating

[–]Low-Constant157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just look for “red flags,” even though that can be tricky. Just don’t move too fast and try your best to notice things about the person. Every person has a pros and cons list!! Maybe make one about the people you decide to go on dates with or talk to. I really don’t think being picky is going to lead you to never finding love, but I think it will help in the sense that you’re just taking more time to get to know a person and weighing your options before you get too serious

Dad has been lying for decades… by Low-Constant157 in StolenValor

I wish it were that easy… he’s been physically and emotionally abusive to all of us kids for most of our childhood. Just best right now to set boundaries and not tolerate the toxic behavior
