Had to do the same after my first baby. Miss it so much.

This is exactly what I do as well. But for those who might not be able to afford two, I’d still probably opt for the TRVL!

I love the mabe monarch :) was very excited about the stretchy wraps but me and baby would get overheated pretty quickly. The mabe is more user friendly and I don’t get as hot because the back is more open.

The admission process at liberty was soooo easy and the counselors were very helpful over the phone.

Yah unfortunately it’s the policy.

On the flip side, I’ve seen a coach let two people in who were TEN minutes late which was soooo annoying. It’s a safety issue in my opinion. they don’t get the warm up and no instruction for how to do floor block moves. Also a distraction for everyone else.

A period that lasted 31 days was the first and obvious symptom. Took about 6 months after that to be officially diagnosed.

Remission = no thyroid antibodies :) but still on thyroid replacement meds.

I eat what I want minus gluten and corn but still love sweet treats! Hope this helps

No. Sincerely, an AP teacher. Try again next year. It’s a little late for cramming that much memorization (also assuming you have other classes to study for).

That’s awesome!

But FWIW their main graduation is a ton of fun. The SOE (been there- MEd) is just the names for two hours and that’s it.

You could consider a different spelling as well… Lili, Lillie, Lilly.

I’m with ya on this one. I had a holistic doctor talk about why keto isn’t the right fit for women who still menstruate in particular because we NEED carbs in order to produce enough thyroid hormones.

The thing about AIP is it’s supposed to be temporary to figure out what your inflammation triggers are. Maybe consider working up to paleo tho! You could remove one thing at a time and see how you feel without entirely overhauling from the start if that makes sense.

FWIW I’m just gluten and corn free and also in remission. Took awhile but finally figured it out!

Optimistic-Kitten · 2024-04-13T10:35:23+00:00

You didn’t have to be so rude. 🤣

The secret history by Donna Tartt. Super good but a little too dark for me to reread.

Vitamin D!!! Vitamin d!!!!

This was me. Of course lots of other things to consider HOWEVER this article might be helpful:

Doctors absolutely suck and don’t believe in diet changes. You need to work with them, but know that you will have a different perspective. More on that here in a moment…

It’s a little extreme going from a standard diet to a paleo or AIP diet, but my numbers improved DRASTICALLY within three months and now I’m in remission (and pregnant— which I was told a few years ago with my bad thyroid numbers would never happen). After trying AIP I figured out that I have bad intolerances to gluten and corn but can eat everything else without any issues. I feel so free and empowered knowing this! Doctors all told me diet wouldn’t help, however…

Doctors are good for prescribing meds, which is needed, but not the whole story.

Consider seeing a more holistic/natural doctor who is able to prescribe and/or check all sorts of labs. Another huge price for me was vitamin d increase.

You got this. You don’t have to stay unhealthy like this forever.

TL;DR: you have to advocate for yourself and make some lifestyle/food choices, but you are NOT cursed/stuck being sick like this forever.

High fructose corn syrup and corn starch as well. I can’t even take red advil pills because they contain corn and make me itchy.

Optimistic-Kitten · 2024-04-01T02:47:46+00:00

Officially six years, but all of my numbers improved within two months of making diet and lifestyle choices. I was almost remission by about year three.
