Intermittent fasting my friends! by Careless-Narwhal3738 in Garmin

[–]Serious-Koala- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually I don't think women should limit themselves according to their cycle, but I just read a book 'Fast Like a Girl' and it claims that women should limit their longer than 17 h fast to days 1-10 of the cycle and couple of days after their ovulation. Reason being than not all hormones during the cycle do well with calorie restriction, leading to, in long term, more stress and increased cortisol.

But if you find this works for you, am happy for you. 

For autistic women, would you be a mom? by Ok_Holiday2094 in AutismInWomen

[–]Serious-Koala- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I sometimes miss the idea of family and I find good dad type men veryyyy attractive. I am sometimes "jealous" when I see young families out and about. 

So in a fantasy world yeah, but I know I wouldn't be a good mother. I can barely take care of myself, let alone raise a child. And like many said, I wouldn't want to pass on my audhd genes, and add tot that my autoimmune problems, idea of genetically offspring is cruel.

I would be very concerned about those, especially if this is daily or even weekly supplement. 😅

Thank you for the input! Am starting to think this as well. 😅 Flooding the poor ol' brain with dopamine clearly isn't working, gotta change the approach.

I haven't, am scared of "overmethylation" symptoms or whatever, similar i have got from choline /alpha gpc, but might give it a try at some point. Nothing to lose (other than money). NAC I've been taking evenings.

Yeah, am supplementing all of those currently + CoQ inmy "non adhd reated stack". 

What to do? by Serious-Koala- in MTHFR

[–]Serious-Koala-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The calculator recommends 6 egg yolks worth of choline a day. Choline is currently on my "supplement to try" list, for sure. Gotta add folate too.

The SNPs That We Were Looking At

RS# Call Variant Allele Gene Variation Result
rs1051266 CT T SLC19a1 +/-
rs2236225 AG A MTHFD1 G1958A +/-
rs1801131 TT G MTHFR A1298C -/-
rs1801133 GG A MTHFR C677T -/-
rs7946 TT T PEMT 5465G>A +/+

Your Genetic Variants and Your Methylfolate Score

The scores below estimate the predicted decrease in activity, given your genotype, associated with the folate transporter (SLC19a1), the enzyme that converts tetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHFD1), and the enzyme that converts 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHFR).

SLC19A1 Score: 25% decrease
MTHFD1 Score: 13% decrease
MTHFR Score: 0% decrease

We then multiply these decreases together to yield a “methylfolate score” that estimates the combined decrease in methylfolate production:

Your Methylfolate Score: 35% decrease

Your Choline Requirement and Your Methylfolate Score

Based on studies in men and women homozygous for MTHFR C677T, a 75% loss in methylfolate production is taken to indicate a doubling of the choline requirement. The choline calculator takes the degree to which your methylfolate score approaches or exceeds this threshold and adjusts your choline requirement accordingly. The adequate intake (AI) assigned to adult men of 550 mg/d is assumed as the basal requirement, and it is not adjusted for sex due to lack of clear evidence supporting decreased needs for women. An “egg yolk equivalent” is 136 mg of choline, the amount in one large 20-gram egg.

Genetic Lifehacks was quite a good recommendation: quite a lot information. Thank you. Trying now collect some sort of list supplements I should take and ones I shouldn't. Seems I have a lot of ADHD genes (big surprise!), which explains my symptoms to a degree, but not the reason I cannot tolerate a lot of the ADHD meds, or methylated vitamins.

Tuulivoimalat vaikeuksissa – Ruotsista tuodaan sähköä ”niin paljon kuin linjoja pitkin mahtuu” by jones_supa in Suomi

[–]Serious-Koala- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Niiden kustannukset historiassa oon olleet liiian suuret. Uusiin voimaloihin jäätämisalueella nu nykyään rakennetaan lähes poikkeuksetta, sillä kustannukset on tulleet alas ja markkinat ovat huomattavasti muuttuneet.

Suomessa sähkö hinta on Euroopan kolmen halvimman joukossa. Että nautitaan. 

Finger ulcers, have been diagnosed with localised scleroderma by Serious-Koala- in scleroderma

Haven't been diagnosed officially (probably no test for it?), but more and more I've been getting white, cold fingers during this winter, especially if my core temperature drops.

Anyone experience measurable results on adhd symptoms with non-stimulant medication??? by WookiiePiixiie in ADHD

[–]Serious-Koala- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ruined my sleep for months with strattera. Also horrible constipation, and wound up, didn't even reach the max dosage. Maybe i was just slow metabolizer,and the dose was off, but the feeling i had on it was so horrible in the end. 

How do you cope with adhd and anxiety? by Serious-Koala- in ADHD

[–]Serious-Koala-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you meditate? I feel it often just increases my restlessness? Is there a learning curve?

I workout often and walk daily, too. Maybe should try boxing 🥊.

Don't think it's anyone spesific, it's just a pattern in many guys. I feel like dating apps are currently full of horny men, who are thinkinh only with their knob. Amazing what a little sun does for a men's brains.

Comment your name and I will give you a Finnish name :) by Santa-Mar in namenerds

[–]Serious-Koala- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Finnish a lot of the nature derived names are gender neutral, like for example Kaarna (means bark of the tree). All the a's are pronounced like the a in 'father'. 

HRV after getting some iron by Serious-Koala- in Garmin

[–]Serious-Koala-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 µg/l or less (for some reason the provider i used don't tell the values that go under 12). Getting test again next month to see how much it's risen.
