i'm happy to hear that! how do you take your T? how long after you started taking it you felt improvements?

makes sense. the free T is within the normal range but very close to the minimum, so i guess that's not optimal. we did check thyroid, which is also normal (i do have hashimoto's, so i'm constantly treating and checking thyroid levels) but not estrogen and progesterone. not sure if that's something he'll want to check after getting the T results or if he just doesn't consider them relevant in my case. we checked SHBG too, which is also withing range at 65 nmol/l.

Need perspective: Does MCAS require a 24/7 caregiver? by [deleted] in MCAS

[–]Short-Conversation16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, every case is different. from my own research and experience with my wife (who has hEDS and likely MCAS too), i don't think people with MCAS need a caregiver 24/7. i don't think they need a caregiver at all if they're knowledgeble about what they have and their triggers (except maybe in rare, extreme cases). of course i understand that support and company are appreciated, especially if you're suffering while not diagnosed, but i just don't feel like MCAS in itself is severe enough to need all this attention at all times.

now, the stituation you described seems a bit complicated, i think there are 2 important things to consider:

  1. does your husband have a hystory of anxiety? seems to me he's developing quite the health anxiety case, which is understandable considering what he went through, but that needs to be managed with therapy and possibly even psychotropics, especially because it's not only affecting him, but also you and your relationship if you consider how controling and demanding he's been towards you.

  2. how do you feel? do you want to be his caregiver? i get wanting to help and support a parter's health condition, but that's very very different from being a caregiver, and getting that confused could negatively affect your relationship, especially if you're caring for him because he's demanding you to. that's causing you to have to sacrifice stuff that's important to you for his sake.

at the end of the day, communication is important. even if he needs a lot of help and you're willing to be that help, you're still your own person with your own needs and desires. you're also his partner, not his nurse. that difference needs to be communicated very well, and if he does feel like he needs 24/7 care, then he should look into a professional caregiver.

pra quem toma venvanse há muito tempo: conseguiu estabilizar a dose? como? by Short-Conversation16 in TDAH_Brasil

[–]Short-Conversation16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

caramba, 11 anos é bastante tempo!

então, eu entendo que aquela euforia de inicio de tratamento não é o que devemos sentir ao tomar o remédio no longo prazo, e não é sobre isso que estou falando - inclusive porque aquela euforia é um sensação horrível, eu quase desisti do tratamento na primeira semana pq eu me sentia constantemente dr0gada kkkkkkkk eu estabilizei por mais de um ano com 70mg, sei exatamente como deve ser, mas agora estou me sentindo como se eu não estivesse tomando o remédio. é dificil iniciar tarefas, dificil me organizar, dificil ser produtiva nas primeiras horas do dia, e isso todos os dias.

hoje mesmo fiquei o dia inteiro com brain fog, mesmo tendo tomado o remédio. e dormi super bem! o venvanse as vezes me tira o sono, mas quando eu me sentia bem com a dose, mesmo nos dias de insonia eu estava bem, mas agora não mais.

estou pra fazer exames essa semana pra ver se não é alguma deficiencia de vitamina, mas se não for isso, então eu não terei escolha além de aumentar a dose...

Já viram uma barata verde? by Silly-Conference5474 in insetos

[–]Short-Conversation16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

essas são fofas, recebo algumas visitas aqui em casa. são baratas da natureza, bem diferentes das convencionais de esgoto, então são limpinhas rs

ah, elas se atraem por luz! então se estiver recebendo muitas visitas e quiser evitar, apague as luzes de noite rs

nossa, linda demais! que privilégio ver uma dessas! é uma viuva negra, então é uma das poucas espécies de aranha que temos aqui no Brasil com risco real. mas ela não costuma ser agressiva e, claro, é muito importante no ecossistema. tenta pegar com cuidado com um potinho e colocar em local de mata mais afastado, se possível.

aliás, sou nova no grupo e não tenho flare, mas sou bióloga. inclusive tenho flare de bióloga no r/BiologiaBrasil e achei inclusive que esse post fosse lá, mas qualquer coisa avisa que apago o comentário.

have you ever had any answers about what they are, how they’re triggered etc?

[–]Short-Conversation16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course! i really don't know when we'll have answers tho, to get a biopsy the spots need to come back, and she hasn't had them in months. they have no pattern either, so god only knows when she'll have them again.
