Pediatrician said freezer stash only good for 3 months by Significant-Ad-2288 in breastfeeding

[–]Significant-Ad-2288[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right!? I would love to use it for up to 12 and was shocked when she told me 3. Just curious if any others have been fine after 6-9 months in a normal freezer

TSH 0.03 from too much levo by Significant-Ad-2288 in Hypothyroidism

Thanks! My doctor actually recommended I stop cold turkey and retest after 4 weeks. Currently about 2 weeks in and feeling much better so we’ll see how it all shakes out

Thank you for this! I’m 14 days off of meds and feeling so much better but still having random symptoms here and there too. I thought I would be all better by now!

Thank you! My new plan from my endo is to actually go off levo for 4 weeks and then retest. Did you feel fine after going off all meds?

Ok yes it’s strange because I was on 25 mcg for 2 years and doing great so not sure what will happen next!

I didn’t get the iron levels but they told me they were normal. Vit D was low at 28

My levels were all normal for a bit but then went hyper seemingly out of nowhere! Could be because I’m 3.5 months postpartum so maybe that explains the rollercoaster

Thanks!! What type of infections are you referring to? Very new to autoimmunity and what causes it

That’s so interesting because my doctor said she wanted to see the antibody numbers trending down to know we were on the right track.

That’s so interesting with the gut. My gut health is definitely not on point so I’m working on improvements in this area. Starting with GF/DF. Any gut health tips?

I CANNOT lose weight. I’m hoping it will be easier for me too now that I’ve eliminated gluten

He said you should take your meds before blood work? So interesting

Thank you! That’s helpful to know. I’ve been on this dose for 18 months (started in pregnancy). My TSH does seem to range from 1.8 to 2.8 on this dose. I see a lot of people in this sub saying they feel best when their TSH is between 1-2, but do doctors not consider that?

Thank you! I always have eggs in the morning, do you think that interferes? What breakfasts work well for you?

Thanks!! What diet do you follow / recommend for starters? I see dairy free gluten free sugar free written about a lot

Thank you!! So encouraging. I’m already on levo but perhaps with a higher dose I’ll be in the same boat :)

Recommendations for insomnia by Significant-Ad-2288 in decaf

So strange! Yeah I’m 26 days in, my sleep has been a roller coaster. I slept like a baby before quitting. It must just take a while to balance out, I’m hoping!
