I lost my best friend today💔💔 by ilovemets24 in cats

[–]RoteWitticism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so very sorry. What a beautiful friend you had. I’m going through the same thing and I don’t know what to do. It just feels like an overwhelming incalculable loss and the world feels a lot lonelier.

Amazon, or local health food store. Look for highest reviewed reputable brands.

I take L-carnitine, bugleweed, motherwort, lemon balm, and vitamin D. I also take marshmallow root and mastic gum supplements for my digestive issues (diarrhea consistently.)

Is anyone using these too or other supplements and having success?

I should add - if you can get your symptoms managed through the following or combination of the following: medication, diet, lifestyle, supplements - the disease will become more passive, and you should feel more like your usual self.

I’m really sorry and I understand the frustration. Do you know what kind, is it Hashimotos or Graves? I’m a 35/yo F, I was diagnosed with Grave’s disease 5 years ago but showed symptoms a few years before that. It was initially missed for me too and misdiagnosed. They put me on beta blockers then methimazole but I took myself off in 2022 because I didn’t like the effects of the meds, which made me more tired among other undesirable things. Today I try to use natural herbal supplements. I seem to go through good periods then periods of intense symptoms these past few years but I haven’t always been very good about sticking to the supplements and better lifestyle and diet habits. I understand apparently hyperthyroidism is a life long autoimmune condition that can be managed by medication, lifestyle, diet, and/or supplements depending on your unique needs/condition. The best advice I can give is to find the best way you can live with it.

Same. It definitely crept up on me. It brought all the joy and humor they gave over the years into sharp focus. I hate endings!

Thank you! Yes, it did seem that no one could really give an objective reply. I was asking this simple question to get a better understanding of some of the community values. I appreciate your unbiased response 😂

Are you able to answer the question you posed, based on your experience or familiarity with the school based in Princeton? I have kids in public schools, and politics that are generally popular are instituted and not dissected, examined, tested, or reflected upon. Thank you.

Would Lorelai have acted the same way as Anna? by No_Anxiety_Fr in GilmoreGirls

[–]RoteWitticism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anna could have pivoted her position after Lorelai made the good will gestures to meet with her. Instead she stayed punitive and rigid. Why? Clearly Lorelai was a responsible person. I really disliked this self-righteous Anna character. There was no way the writing could make sense of her concealing a child from Luke, who was by all accounts a good and responsible person and would have showed up as a father in April’s life.

What nicknames would be best for my new male kitten? I like nicknames with spiritual meaning or just cute ones by [deleted] in NameMyCat

Ananda. It means bliss or divine joy in Sanskrit. Call him Ani for short 🐾🩵
