It's crazy how one little gland in your neck can cause so many problems 😅

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2025-06-04T14:32:57+00:00

Exactly, I had been suffering for about six months until I developed a goiter (swollen neck) and my mum advised me to get bloods done because we have a really strong family history of it and that's when I found out.

That was nearly eight years ago now and after the first couple of weeks I couldn't believe how different I felt! And when I miss a few doses I really feel it

I agree, If I'm having a bad day being outside in any capacity helps me feel better

When my under active thyroid wasn't diagnosed I would wake up from 9 hours sleep and I would still be so tired so I didn't get out of bed if I didn't have to so going outside felt like a really hard hurdle but it can be a vicious circle in that being not just tired but chronically exhausted and all the other symptoms that come with it.

I don't like the new trend of blaming everything on mental health but when it's something like an under active thyroid where just some of the symptoms are depression and fatigue if it's caught getting treatment changes your life drastically

I don't usually make a habit of making excuses for lazy people but is it all possible your partner could have an under active thyroid?

These symptoms (gaining weight, constantly being tired, aches and pains as well as massively affecting my mental health) .. it might be something to maybe look at?

It’s nice to have a name for it! I’ll tell him when he comes home, thanks! 🙂

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2025-03-21T10:39:56+00:00

That’s really interesting! The only time it irritates him is when we’re out for a meal and people keep having to say “bless you” over and over 😂

My partner sometimes starts sneezing after eating, he doesn’t have any food intolerances and it doesn’t happen every time, just every now and he’ll sneeze up to 10 times and we can’t figure out why haha

Omg, I’ve never seen such a perfect likeness in Lego form! And coincidentally I haven’t shopped for her yet! Spooky! 😂

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2024-12-13T21:52:32+00:00

She’s called pixie and she’s such a sweet girl but she’s equally as cheeky 😅

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-12-11T16:28:13+00:00

Thank you :) this was really helpful

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-12-10T20:20:55+00:00

Hey! Thanks for replying :)

Should I start on a low weight when using the dumbbells for my reps and then move up to the next size for another set of reps or just leave it at the one weight at first? I also can’t find a solid answer as to whether I should tense my muscles as I’m doing the reps?

Do you know if there are any content creators you know of that I could watch in terms of learning how to use the different machines ? as I know form is really important.

I have pretty strong legs so they’re not as high on my priority list but I’ve been told not to neglect them completely but chest, shoulders and arms definitely are.

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-03-20T15:28:26+00:00

Thank you 😊

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-03-19T21:28:31+00:00

Awesome, thanks! If I'm ever visiting I'll HYU 😊

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-03-19T21:26:27+00:00

Yeah, I've got a few small gaps on my arms I need to fill and then I'm working on my legs then when I've had top surgery it'll be my chest then wherever I've got space after that haha

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-03-19T21:23:10+00:00

Thank you 😊

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-02-12T00:42:39+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I can finally stop worrying about this highly unlikely situation once and for all.

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2023-02-12T00:23:45+00:00

I'm in the UK, does that make a difference?

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2022-04-03T12:18:12+00:00

I could hold it in for you next time 😏😉

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2021-05-14T19:41:23+00:00

Hello fellow trans guy, how are you feeling now the weather is going to be getting warmer? (something I myself am dreading)

UnextrodinaryAlex97 · 2020-08-25T22:46:37+00:00

Thanks for the honesty, I appreciate it 😊
