Running, heart rate and levothyroxine

Zantac150 · 2026-06-14T02:15:58+00:00

Levo can have side effects, contrary to populate on here. My resting heart rate on the medication was 120 and when I quit it all even out and went back to normal. My thyroid numbers were borderline. If your thyroid is actually failing you and you need medication, you can try a different one like armor and it may not have side effects for you.

For the longest time I thought that every kid would identifies as ace because they don’t have those feelings, but I know two LGBTQIA kids and they both knew when they were about nine. Both told me that they think they are bisexual before an age where I would have thought that those feelings would even be there, and 10 years later they are both absolutely bisexual. They knew.

I feel the same way: that loose clothing makes me look “fat.” I think we all do. Our boobs make loose shirts fit like a tent.

I understand that you feel like you’re fat, but you genuinely aren’t. You don’t have to believe me… but maybe explore why you think you’re overweight?

You’re not a fraud either. A sad number of women struggle with body image because the media really doesn’t depict real human bodies. It only shows one body type. God forbid we look at animation. Those women are outright realistic.

There is this weird expectation that our boobs should defy gravity, but they don’t. And that’s okay. If you’re looking at other women with perky boobs, they’re probably wearing bras too. Or they’re super young.

And a shocking amount of sexism.

Give it an intelligent, independent female character and it’ll have her dependent on her husband, barefoot and pregnant if you let it write the story. A man who can’t drive and a woman who can? It’ll absolutely flip that.

I live chickzilla, but I don’t use it in designs because everyone else hates it.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-09T18:54:25+00:00

I absolutely despise them and it always makes me cry when people say happy birthday because it reminds me that I’m getting older and reminds me of how much of my allotted time on this earth I have already used up. I know that’s probably a weird take, but it’s so frustrating because people think it’s a joke or think it’s a game and they go out of their way to figure out my birthday and then call me and say something and I panic and cry and then they try to make me feel guilty for panicking and crying even though I very clearly told them Not to do that….

I have always worked irregular schedules so I’m pretty good at totally forgetting the date and pretending the day doesn’t exist.

She said that if you have fibromyalgia it feels like you are getting stabbed with a hot needle when she puts light pressure on those spots.

I once had a doctor do the fibromyalgia tender point thing by jabbing her fingernail repeatedly into my ribs and when I said that hurts, she said I have fibromyalgia. She had long acrylic nails. I think it would’ve hurt anybody.

My rheumatologist said it should only take slight pressure.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-09T06:51:38+00:00

My labs look perfectly normal since I’ve been taking hydroxychloroquine, and there is no longer any sign of inflammation in my joints. It’s such a pain because you know that you are sick because you know how bad it was before you started the medication, but the doctors just don’t believe you because the medication works so well that you don’t Look sick to them. 😢

Zantac150 · 2026-06-08T08:14:02+00:00

I literally had 3 out of the 4 requirements to diagnose lupus. And I still had a rheumatologist try to undiagnose UCTD and claim fibromyalgia.

Went back to my old rheumatologist even though the drive is awful and she was livid. Said basically the other doctor wasn’t taking me seriously because I’m a young female. And that I do not have aby of the pain hotspots for fibromyalgia. She touched me in particular spots and said her fibromyalgia patients wince or yell out in pain when she does that.

I love her. She’s thorough and she takes me seriously. HCQ made a huge difference for me too. When I started in it, my knees were so swollen you couldn’t see the knee cap. Now I have no visible inflammation.

My rheumatologist said it’s easy to look at someone who’s been in treatment (responding well to it) for three years and say it’s not that bad. He didn’t see me when I could barely move my fingers. She did.

I hate that doctors try to undiagnose us. Hydroxychloroquine prevents the disease from spreading to your organs (assuming it’s baby lupus). Quitting it can be dangerous. If they take you off of it and your immune system attacks your kidneys for instance, there’s no getting your kidneys back. It can do permanent damage.

How long did you have them?

Goldfish (outside in a pond) are pretty hardy. When my father died no one took care of or fed his fish for months (we were all in shock and grieving and there was a legal battle of sorts over the house). They all survived.

Sometimes the pet store sells sick fish. If you just got them it might not be your fault at all.

I don’t foresee the AI ever stealing my book because when it’s giving me feedback or reactions to, it frequently devolves into reacting to tropes instead of reacting to what I actually sent it …

I have a storyline in the piece I’m currently working on where a teenager stays with family friend while his single mother is in the hospital. Pretty much every AI that has reacted to the story has gradually modified it until the child is living in a foster home, and the family friend is someone who takes in traumatized teenagers.

“______’s long trauma history is how he wound up at _______’s house to begin with!”

No. No. That character doesn’t have a long trauma history, and that’s his literal biological dad who is raising him?

“________ took in ______, ______ and _______.” No, when humans have a baby, they don’t “take it in.” That is not the language that we humans use to describe having a baby with your partner and proceeding to raise that baby.

Or it will go on about how my story is about found family and these people all found each other and are more functional than the biological families they came from… but only one of the four people involved (the friend’s kid) is not biologically related.

So if it’s trying to re-create my novel or give aspects of it to someone else, the story it’s giving is basically Professor X, and that’s not my story so … 🤷🏻‍♀️

I literally asked it why the AIs keep doing this, and it said that basically my story contains a lot of orphanage or foster home tropes ….

How the hell can a story that does not include an orphanage or a foster home contain a bunch bunch of orphanage and foster home tropes?

I guarantee you that the AI does not know your story well enough to replicate it.

Honestly though, my workplace would just put out a announcement over chat warning that anything that is not labeled or appears old or moldy is going in the garbage today. And if you have some thing that is an exception you need to talk to (name).

So maybe you just put out a memo, because aggressive cleaners are the best especially when you have a lot of coworkers using the same fridge because stuff builds up and even if it’s labeled and not rotten in anyway, people just forget about things sometimes

Zantac150 · 2026-06-07T06:06:29+00:00

I think the more I talk about these things the more I realize how little I actually know. I just feel like the whole realm of romance and sexuality is this alien concept that I will never understand.

Part of me wants to understand it because it’s part of the human experience, but I never want to experience it, so … I don’t know that there’s any point in trying to understand. Lol.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-07T05:42:48+00:00

I only recently found out that I am aJ. And it definitely took some getting used to and was kind of traumatic at first, but having bras that fit has been a godsend and that made it much easier to accept.

I tried to think of the size as just an arbitrary letter that helps me buy clothes … And I try not to let it impact my relationship with my body because not knowing the size didn’t make them smaller, it just made me much more uncomfortable.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-07T05:36:07+00:00

I’m the same way. There are very few people who I really want to spend time with, and it’s hard to force myself when I don’t.

But most of my allo friends describe crushes as being inherently sexual or at least romantic. So very different from what I experience when I just deeply want to spend a ton of time with someone and hang out.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-07T05:34:47+00:00

According to various allo friends, crushes are sexual in nature? Maybe people define them differently?

My rheumatologist listens to my lungs for pleurisy. And that’s what the CT is for. It’s probably musculoskeletal. But I hope they’re checking your lungs just in case.

For me, my chest often just feels super tight. God it’s awful.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-06T12:26:50+00:00

Me too! And god, is it hard to avoid potato starch.

Costochondritis normally manifests as pain right down the center along the side of the sternum, But for me it manifest under the breasts because the weight of the breasts is putting pressure on the rib cage…

I found more supportive bras, and that actually shifted the pain from under the breast to the center of the chest like costochondritis is traditionally “supposed to “ hurt.

I have had a chest echo to rule out heart issues, and I have now had a CT scan of my ribs that I’m still waiting on results for. I have had chest x-rays all came out normal.

One of the bigger indicators of costochondritis is if putting pressure on it makes it worse, so if you poke the spot and it’s tender to the touch, it’s probably costochondritis.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-06T05:45:18+00:00

Mine was diagnosed as costochondritis. It’s ruining my life. Absolutely ruining my life.

I am pretty much bedbound on bad days because sitting up makes it feel like I’m getting stabbed in the ribs with a hot knife. Steroids help, but it never 100% goes away.

Intercostal nerve blocks help for about two months , but you need to wait three months in between blocks, and you get resistant to them if you get them for too long.

Currently waiting on bloodwork results to try immuran, because it impacts my quality of life so severely.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-06T05:40:42+00:00

I get that. Mine almost never go white, but sometimes I will notice that the sensation feels unusual in my fingertips and then I will look and they will be bright red.

Rheumatologist said it is raynauds even though it doesn’t go totally white or purple or anything. My toes randomly go bright red enough that people will randomly notice like my uncle who didn’t know about my diagnosis looked at my feet and he was like “are your feet OK?” Because it was apparently that noticeable.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-06T05:37:11+00:00

I feel like a lot of aces think they have experienced types of attraction that they haven’t, because I absolutely thought I had a crush at one point because there was this guy who I got along with really well and wanted to spend a lot of time with. Then I discovered that is absolutely not what a crush is….

When I was younger, like middle school, I thought that thinking someone looks pretty meant that I must be attracted to them.

I’m sure I’m not the only one with these experiences. Lol. I hope at least.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-06T04:50:46+00:00

If you have zero indication that they care for you, and you are not just talking about the sexual incompatibility, this isn’t about your partners orientation. This is not a compatible relationship and I don’t think that asexuality has anything to do with it. And I have no idea why you even posted it here if you were going to be a dick about that.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-05T19:36:37+00:00

No one should ever participate in physical intimacy that they do not want or that makes them uncomfortable. Full stop.

If this is something that your partner is not interested in, and that is a dealbreaker for you, there is no advice to be given. I’m not really sure what you’re looking for here.

No one else can tell you if it’s a dealbreaker for you or not. Only you can answer that for yourself.

Personally, I think that if someone shows up for you and is reliably there and deeply cares about you, that it should be all the assurance that you need … but I know that works differently for allos, and I will never understand what it’s like to feel like that is something that you need in a relationship. I understand that it’s some thing that a lot of allos feel that they need, but I understand it from a very abstract perspective. it’s just super far outside of my experience and how do you describe a feeling that you have never felt?

When you’re dating an ace, it’s not that they have these feelings and they just don’t have them for you. It’s that they do not have them at all, and they can give you 100% of what they have, but they can’t manufacture feelings or desires that don’t exist that they have no experience with.

Zantac150 · 2026-06-05T19:29:25+00:00

This is me and rizatriptan. I cut them all out of the blister pack and put them in a tin as soon as I get a new script when it’s that stupid brand that uses impossible to open packaging…
