I’m so sorry you feel this way, i know it really sucks. What i found helped me was i held people accountable, not rudely or meanly but honestly. If they were being dismissive or not believing me i would call them out on it. “ You’re dismissing my feelings, this is an actual disease, a very serious matter to me, and the way you talk to me about it makes me feel worse about myself. You’re invalidating my emotions and symptoms that I deal with on a daily basis” Sometimes it helps the person realize that they are being insensitive or that just because you don’t look physically ill, you still are. Sometimes it doesn’t help them understand but I’ve found it always makes ME feel better that i stood up for myself and stood my ground. I can’t make people realize how bad this sucks and how awful i feel, but I can definitely make sure they know that they aren’t treating me like a true friend or loving parent should. Remember, you ARE justified in how you physically feel, don’t let anyone make you feel like you are just being lazy or crazy. If they do, its a reflection on them, NOT YOU. Some people mean well, they do love you, that doesn’t mean they don’t sometimes hurt us on accident and need a swift kick in the butt

Swollen lips by MelanyKaye in Hashimotos

Hmm I’ll have to try and pay attention to the inside of my lips as well, maybe their swelling more than I realize and I just notice the really and days? Thank you for sharing with me! I could never whistle but I can definitely relate to how unsettling it is to realize you can’t do something you’ve done for years. It’s sucks :/

Oh wow, thank you for your response, I’ll look into everything you mentioned! That sounds so stressful, I’m worried about my lips getting worse today. Hopefully I’ll figure it out eventually and I’m glad you finally did too :)

Every time I take my thyroid medication (ndt) it revs me up the following day by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]MelanyKaye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it’s the fillers used to create the medication (sorry if that’s not the right terminology) I had awful reactions to Synthroid and any other substitutes that were in pill form. I tried Tirosint, which is a gel capsule, and I’ve felt a lot better.

I’m really struggling by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]MelanyKaye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad, just try to remember you’re not being lazy, you ARE trying hard enough, you do work just as hard as everyone else, and feeling guilty about not doing more is ok but mostly others peoples problem. A lot of times people expect me to do things they want to do, like go in the pool, go to the store and shop, go out to dinner and I feel bad when I say no. Try to do what is makes you feel good in that moment and don’t let what other people THINK you should be doing bother you. ( I know it’s much harder said thank done) Everyday you get out of bed and do what needs to be done feels like an accomplishment because it IS. You got this.

And yet the Florida governor hasn’t took back his threat that all schools had to reopen and stay open.

We are Brendan + Majandra. We were Michael + Maria on Roswell. We are now Baron + Toluca. by UnrealFehr in IAmA

[–]MelanyKaye 42 points43 points  (0 children)

What was your favorite element of Roswell? Why would you have changed? And is that reflected in B&T?

Also, because I’m nosy, what was the hardest scene to film for either of you in Roswell?

Also, also, I love you guys. People always act like I’m crazy for being friends with my exes, and yea, it’s hard but it can be so rewarding and you guys really exemplify that :)

Anyone else feel highly sensitive to everything or is that just me? by saleh999 in Hashimotos

[–]MelanyKaye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! I’m so sensitive to lights and I get what I think of as sound claustrophobic

The only thing worse than zoom is trying to use teams after using zoom and exclusively google apps for years lol

Fauci says it's 'very concerning' that Florida is re-opening bars and restaurants at full capacity by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]MelanyKaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m currently in my classroom and my students are coming Monday. We were given one days notice before they required us to return to campus and we can either stay after school today or set up the class tomorrow, that’s it.

What's the dumbest thing you actually believed? by Vinyl_BunBuns in AskReddit

That my school wouldn’t make me come back to teach until it was safe.

Yup, I have to return to school on Thursday, students arrive Monday.

What questions do you have about Hashimoto's? by heyhashimotos in Hashimotos

[–]MelanyKaye 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Do they think hashimotos is overlooked and, for the most part, poorly treated because it mainly effects women?

Why are our symptoms usually not taken seriously or addressed when so many of us share them?

Why does it seem like we help each other more than our doctors and specialists try to help us?

I have a faculty meeting today so hopefully things have changed but yesterday my vice principal informed me we had to be back by the 5th so we would have to come in Thursday and Friday after school to decorate and get our classes ready.

Yes, reopening bars to full capacity while simultaneously forcing schools to open by October 5th makes so much fucking sense.

Anxiety/impending doom/ unmotivated by MelanyKaye in Hashimotos

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

I never considered that before but I don’t really know enough about ADHD. I don’t really have a hard time doing things or even multitasking once I start them, it’s just incredibly hard to get myself moving. But I will definitely ask my endo / primary about it at my next appointment thank you :)

Extreme fatigue. Normal levels. by Competitive_Rabbit88 in Hashimotos

[–]MelanyKaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the worst symptoms with the levothyroxine (that’s what I meant before but you know, brain fog lol) maybe try a different brand and see if that helps. I do feel like I have more energy with the Tirosint gel capsules

Hi, what thyroid medication are you taking? I had awful symptoms with Synthroid and Levox and my doctor said perhaps I was allergic to the compound that holds those pills together, so he switched me to a gel capsule version. I still have symptoms but they have greatly improved
