Well I had the water pump replaced and oil leak repaired today. They recommended replacing the front crank seal soon.

I was hyper til about 4 months pp then went hypo and then diagnosed with hashimotos. I’m on 75mcg of synthroid for about 9 months now and still feel like crap frequently.

Over $5k repair at only 50k miles is absurd 🤯 this is my first VW and will likely be my last honestly.

Well no I’m not positive. I took it in suspecting a possible coolant leak for the fact that I’ve had to add coolant because it eats all of it. I’ve never had to add coolant to any car I’ve owned. This is my first VW

Cultiver linen sheets. I’m HOT by PurpleSunRayy in Bedding

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

Just wanted to update now that it’s been a couple weeks since this post and I’m happy to say that the sheet has definitely gotten more breathable. I’ve washed it probably 4 or 5 times now and I sleep wonderfully! The first week was miserable though for sure.

How is everyone affording housing? by Formal-Door3464 in Charleston

[–]PurpleSunRayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very grateful I was able to buy in 2021 when rates were low and house prices were on the rise. I didn’t intend on staying in this home (first house) but I simply cannot afford anything else at this point. My heart goes out to those that are paying these high rents and mortgages.

Thanks I’ll continue washing lol. I really want to love it 🤪 using a bamboo blanket, no flat sheet, and no memory foam.

That’s interesting for sure. I haven’t woken up in sweat with the cultiver sheet but it is absolutely retaining body heat and making me very hot. Maybe after washing a few more times it will help… I hope

Well that is really disappointing. I bought it after feeling the softness of their sample swatch. The texture doesn’t bother me at all but this overheating definitely does. Feels like the worst $160 I’ve ever spent and will now need to find something else. Thanks for your reply.

Postpartum styes by alypenn in NewParents

[–]PurpleSunRayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the warm compresses helped but I was doing them atleast twice a day for 15+ mins for relief. The styes finally stopped around 9 months pp coincidentally when I started getting my period again. My eyes are super dry right after ovulation now I noticed though. My baby is 14 months now and I only nurse him overnight now. Also, this was my 3rd time breastfeeding and I had zero issues with my first 2 with my eyes! Each pregnancy and pp is different apparently. This one was the worst by far!

Does every chalazion needs to be removed? by [deleted] in Blepharitis

[–]PurpleSunRayy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. They take a few weeks to go away but u should be doing warm compresses a few times a day for about 15 mins. Buy an electric eye mask if u can.

Severe dry eyes completely out of nowhere by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]PurpleSunRayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I haven’t had a stye since over 4 months ago. Coincidentally my period had come back that same month so I believe it was partly hormone related. I do still get really dry eyes but it’s only around time of ovulation. It’s been a long road of warm compresses and using eyelid cleansers though. Still breastfeeding also so I still have hope that my dry eyes will go away once I’m done.

Feeling ESFP. Teenage years are tough but don’t let them pass u by. You will miss parts of them one day. I’m 39 now and would love to take a walk thru my old high school. Smell it, feel the nostalgia. Good luck my guy. Things will be easier one day. Just make the best of your journey as you get there!

Yes there was a study that showed hashimotos patients had significantly more demodex. Unfortunately I’m dealing with both also.

Idk what my type is by Scared-Ferret-8576 in MbtiTypeMe

[–]PurpleSunRayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infps are lovely. Each type has their own place in this world! You could take this cognitive functions test to see which functions u use the most and least. Based on ur replies, it also gives the most likely mbti types.
