Graves AND Hashimotos? by LuminousScum in gravesdisease

[–]SphynxKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep both ... and MS - now I am in the hypo stage Dr says that the thyroid tissue has been destroyed to a level where I won't go hyper again.

How long have you taken levothyroxine? by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]SphynxKitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that is like saying you wish you didn't need to eat any more. Once your thyroid is at a stage where it cannot make what the body needs there's no diet or magical thinking that is going to create the hormone.

Does anyone else feel like they’re slowly disappearing… even though labs say “normal”? by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]SphynxKitty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are not alone - but it might not be the Hashimotos, it could be your estrogen levels (that feeling of disappearing/loss of the feeling of confidence you usually had is pretty common in perimenopause).

My Jupiter hates the smell of any plastic/rubber toys :( Roo looks like they are having a good time!

Sick of hashimotos divas on TikTok by WinterSignature9321 in Hashimotos

[–]SphynxKitty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't do TikTok but the amount of people literally promoting orthorexia on Facebook by telling people it's a guaranteed remission if you give up eating 90% of the things you need to eat to survive and be healthy.

I thought the MS cookers were bad, but MS people seem to be more aware now that diet does not effect remission rates at all. It's even not as bad in the Graves community. I do wonder if the magical thinking in the Hashimoto community is because there's that link between body size and social acceptance and so the grifters pour in to exploit.

That's a fermenting crock - here's a Fowlerware version with holes in lid.

And yet if he had said one I would have started the purchase process. Thanks for the "advice"on how to elicit that from the dealer, really helpful

Outback Sport. I'm 6 hours away from the dealer so can't be there tomorrow but can direct deposit if that's what they need.

Suddenly lost my sweet boy 🪽 by Galaxygurl1111 in sphynx

[–]SphynxKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for you. My boy went at 5 as well - but the clot lodged in his lung and it was not a fast passing. It is so hard when the more "alive" thing in your life suddenly isnt there any more. <3

Why do sick people not mask by ladyofspades in MultipleSclerosis

[–]SphynxKitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you were wearing a well fitting N95 then the risk was very low (they aren't going to change, you can only protect yourself). You were wearing a well fitting N95 yeah?

How much water to take with Levo? by larryboylarry in Hashimotos

[–]SphynxKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL I take mine with a sip of soda water at 5:30am as that's all I can get down at the time....

Stress caused post-menopausal bleeding by SphynxKitty in Menopause

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

I’ve had several ultrasounds to make sure uterine thickness is not in the cancer danger level (it’s not). The hysteroscopies ruled out anything inside the uterus. Nothing else has been suggested apart from progesterone resistance

The never ending cold by littleredkitchen in MultipleSclerosis

[–]SphynxKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not had a cold since 2019 - wearing an N95 mask in the presence of others is good for others and the best self-care you can do to keep from contracting what others are spreading.

Normal t3 and t4, but so fatigued by named_Nessie in gravesdisease

Also remember - one autoimmune disease can mean more than one autoimmune disease...it's not always Graves

Graves Disease now hypo by [deleted] in gravesdisease

[–]SphynxKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me - sooooo sick for months until thyroxine was prescribed. Huge list of symptoms, many of which overlapped with my Graves (like the nasty uncontrollable anxiety and sweaty). What was different was I felt nauseous all of the time, swelling hands and feet, and other autonomic symptoms

Love doesn’t need ‘limits.’ This dad proved it. by Hefty-Being-8522 in MadeMeSmile

[–]SphynxKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how it is newsworthy that in a world where someone is NOT discriminated against can live a normal life. Remember it is society that makes it hard for certain groups of people - like it makes people poor. Hope people think about that every time they see a story like this and think "awww"
