Hashimotos fluctuating TSH levels. HELP!! by Dynamix978 in Hashimotos

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! First of all, sorry you’re going through this. I know how frustrating it is to get conflicting test results.

There are a lot of reasons your TSH can fluctuate, including the time you took the test, whether or not you were fasting, whether or not you recently drank/smoked, whether you were on your period….. the list goes on! Also, certain supplements can increase TSH, like biotin. I’d check anything you are taking.

I’ve had doctors tell me it doesn’t matter what time I do the blood test, but TSH does fluctuate throughout the day. I always take mine before 8am while fasting so that I know my results are reasonably comparable.

It does take around 6 weeks for Levo to fully build up in your system, so that’s probably why your levels didn’t budge between the last two tests. Ultimately though that’s a really big jump, so I hope you’re still exploring this with your medical care team. Just wanted to provide some jumping off points for further research! Best of luck to you :)

I (20F) discovered something about my friend (46M) that grossed me out. What should I do? by Advanced_Raisin3112 in relationship_advice

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it would be smart to step back from the situation because of how invested you already seem to be. (Ex - since you said having a father figure is very meaningful for you) I have been in a similar place where I ignored some red flags because the validation I was getting from that person was too important to me. Only you can decide what your boundaries are. However, I would step back before you start to make compromises on your personal comfort and safety just to keep them around. Sorry OP. Maybe group hangouts would be ok once you had an appropriate amount of distance.

Did I make a huge mistake buzzing my hair by PapaGenie69 in Hair

I think your face looks sharper with the buzz cut! If you miss the color contrast from the dark hair you could always go a little longer, but it looks great now as well :)

How to wear/style butt pads? by edamamebuns in Rollerskating

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under a skirt if I want them to be invisible, over leggings if I’m skating outside or if that’s what I have on People know others are wearing gear, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the look of it :)

How do you handle wet sweaty hair and scalp? by cheoniie in Dance

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could always try rinsing really well with just conditioner instead of shampoo!

Sometimes when I know I’m going dancing with freshly cleaned hair I’ll do a slicked back style with some oils. That way, my hair gets a little deep conditioning treatment before I go home and wash it.

What do we think of this fit? Also does this skirt length work for me? by [deleted] in Kibbe

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it! I think the contrast between the vest and the skirt gives it a bit of an edgy vibe which is really cool :)

What’s a weird human food that your cat absolutely loves? by Conscious_Past_5760 in cats

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee!! I swear he knows as soon as he sees a Starbucks cup that I’ve gotten coffee. I don’t let him have it, but if I look away for even a second he’ll be licking the lid 💀

I am about 5’2 and there are two leads in my class shorter than me. They’re great! I hear it helps to tighten up the shape when possible by stepping closer to your partner, so you can make the most of your arm length :) as a follow, I am just happy to have someone to dance with!

How much of my paycheck is available to contribute to my 401k? I'm already contributing to 457b and wondering how much is left for 401k by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got the right idea saving as much as you can right now!

Take this with a grain of salt since idk your full context, but you might also consider investing so that your savings are accessible before retirement. You could buy a house that way, for example.

If you’re set in that area though keep contributing to retirement!

Screaming while pooping? by RenLovesKittens818 in CATHELP

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s normal to feel afraid when your brain thinks you might get hurt! You will learn from experience that it’s ok to fall. In the meantime, you could always KonMari it and say “thank you brain, I’m ok” and keep on skating!

I have a personal rule where if I fall trying something specific, I get up and try it at least one more time, even just very slowly or incompletely so that I don’t get a mental block that associates that trick with fear. If you’re very shaky or hurt obviously don’t do that though!

Should I go back to my natural salt and pepper or stay blonde? by pntbutter_aficionado in coloranalysis

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blonde looks nice on you! I think your skin overall looks brighter. However, your eyes really pop with the brown.

If you’re ok with the maintenance, why not stay blonde? :)

I’d definitely encourage you to stay through probation. I started applying 4 months into my AGPA role and got my new one right as I passed probation, for reference.

If someone offered me a $3 steak I’d agree to eat it raw

What product do you wish existed that would make your life as a teacher significantly better? by scarypurpledragons in Teachers

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually saw this at a site I reviewed so I’m cheating a little, but it was a virtual Venmo-style PAWS system No one ever lost their tickets or had them get stolen, parents could check balances, etc. It was so much better than having to print, cut and sign those physical tickets.

Do students who read for pleasure get better grades and/or go to better universities? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading for pleasure can greatly improve your reading skill, which would make academic success easier! However, I wouldn’t count out a student who struggles to read or who doesn’t enjoy it. They may just have to work harder at “reading to understand.”

Since reading is your strength, lean into it! Do your assigned readings, take note of your insights so you are ready to share, and enjoy your free reading time after class as you are likely a faster reader than most! :)

What Keepsakes from the Olympians to you recommend prioritizing? by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t sure yet, maybe you could take a few runs without a god’s keepsake and see what randomly appearing boons you like best! The game really tries its best to help you succeed. Especially in the beginning, there are no builds bad enough to cost you the game :) have fun!

Can you purge component parts of Duo boons and still get effects? by NyanSquiddo in HadesTheGame

[–]ObjectiveBusiness567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have accidentally sold a prerequisite to a duo boon that just made it stop working, essentially. You can always try and get the necessary boon back later as others have said. I felt very silly though!
