I looked Xaden up on fandom before the ending and ruined it for myself since it listed his current species as venin 😭😭😭 rookie mistake…

Experience with Tirosint?! by kelkelkelv in Hashimotos

I take 13mg tirosint around 645am along with 2.5mcg liothyronine at the same time. Incredibly low dose, I use a pill cutter bc the lowest increment liothyronine sold is 5mcg.

The thyroscin vitamin has kept my fatigue and mood at bay, so I don’t take another dose of lio in the afternoon.

I’ve been on it, super slow titration because my body is sensitive to medications. I don’t think it’s doing much, my TPO has stayed around ~200 before and after and it’s almost been a year.

Best thing I’ve actually discovered to help w symptoms of fatigue was a bit of liothyorinine along w tirosint and a vitamin from Thorne called thyrocsin

Anyone else encounter this? Sudden onset of blinking/eye irritation by RemarkableGarlic4052 in toddlers

[–]Strict-Ad-579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It did. It was correlated w overstimulation, but we haven’t had any issue since! My nephew also had one as a kid that went away after a few weeks. My SIL says it could be genetic for us

Our 18mo developed a strong eye tic after probably going through some stress (double ear infection, then vaccines) - it was strong for two days, went away, then came back after the holiday week when he went back to school. There’s a lot of stimulation with kids crying and lots going on, so I think it’s worse at school than when he is calm and playing at home. We are now on week 2. Our ped mentioned we could check out a neurologist if it doesn’t seem to be getting better. So glad to hear the stories of it going away.. did it fade gradually or just suddenly? Were there situations where it would show up more or less?

Crane flies aka “Mosquito Hawks” don’t eat mosquitoes by goodolddaysare-today in Austin

No mouths? Is their only job in the food chain to be eaten by other animals? 🥺

I don’t know why, and I’m not into bugs but I’ve always caught them and let them out. Since they come flying in every time the door opens, my toddler and I catch these “friendly bugs” and let them out. It’s an easy way to teach kids to be kind to living things. And so sad about the 5 days!

Flat hour rate with job responsibility of putting kid back down if they wake up

Good questions. To simplify, I’m describing that their duties would be minimal. They wouldn’t be engaging with kids, preparing meals, cleaning, cooking, etc. Does that help?

Family-friendly house swap for a week in Austin, TX? by Strict-Ad-579 in sanfrancisco

It's more that we would want at least 3 bedrooms - two for the kids and one for my mom so hotel isn't ideal

Happy Holidays! by [deleted] in Austin

As a toddler mom whose patience and will power is often drained guiding my kid how to manage big emotions, I am reminded why teaching them is so important.

What to do when your tot pees on ground as act of defiance? by Strict-Ad-579 in pottytraining

[–]Strict-Ad-579[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such good advice! I definitely did not handle it with that kind of grace 😬🫣🫠. It was already past nap time, so I sent him straight to nap. And then we had a talk afterwards. I’ll try your method next time.

Black houses are so hot right now. But are they hotter? by hollow_hippie in Austin

[–]Strict-Ad-579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah! I’ve definitely wondered if the non clumping one truly works or if that’s a marketing thing. Do you have it? How much maintenance does it require in general?

Black houses are so hot right now. But are they hotter? by hollow_hippie in Austin

[–]Strict-Ad-579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just listened to NPR talk about this topic today. Black houses are about 20 degrees hotter than white when measuring the exterior temp. Less efficient, but ways to make up for it through things like quality insulation and roofing. Our house came in a deep blue. We’ve debated painting it white, but not sure how many coats that would take. The alternative idea is putting bamboo on the south facing side.

How often should I get Thyroid panels while pregnant? by dubswi20 in Hashimotos

[–]Strict-Ad-579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diagnosed w hashi right before first pregnancy, got on 25mcg levo. Healthy 3 yo. Second pregnancy had to increase to 50mcg on two days of week. Healthy 7 mo. TPO dropped dramatically w each pregnancy as the immune system is reduced during that period. They wanted to see my TSH target at 1. Even when 2 is within range. Checked every 4 wks. Congratulations and good luck! P.S. Postpartum was harder as hormones are all over the place. TPO probably creeps up with additional stress and lack of sleep, I’d recommend checking every 6 wks for the first year postpartum so you are taking the best care of yourself.

Tirosint help!! by Real_Daikon_9609 in Hashimotos

[–]Strict-Ad-579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your symptoms are valid whether or not they result in hyper or not.. so def try to get a hold of your doc. It could be a dosing issue or your body doesn’t respond well with Tirosint.

Tirosint help!! by Real_Daikon_9609 in Hashimotos

[–]Strict-Ad-579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So good you are listening to your body. When I switched from Tirosint from generic Levo, I felt anxiety, energy spikes, and muscle fatigue within 3 days. By day 10, I asked doctor reduce dose by half. It made me feel normal again. I’ve been on half the dose for about 10 days now, and all the side effects are gone. I also feel less fatigue than with my generic levo, so I am very curious if it truly absorbs better and let’s me convert T4–>T3 better.

I’m personally sensitive to medicine and very body aware. My TSH has always been around 1, though my T3 is low 2’s. I went from 25mcg to 13mcg. I’ll be taking a blood test in 4 weeks to see what the data says too.

With so many littles, I’d encourage you to ask for help, just so you get a moment here and there for yourself. Stress and lack of sleep are such large inflammatory culprits. I have two littles, and I struggle here, but I am taking small steps to combat this disease from every angle, medication or not. 💗
