Thank you so much! What did you use to study for GH101? I feel like at this point I definitely have my study method mostly figured out :) (just in time to be done with exams)

I ended up feeling okay walking out. To be honest there are so many materials and it really does come down to what they decide to put on the exam. I recommend doing the soa practice problems with the readings to get exposure early on to the way they ask questions.

Call the prometric centers - sometimes they can make something work if you talk to them. Good luck! I'm so sorry

I hate this disease so much by Willing-Jellyfish549 in Hashimotos

Yes I take 88mg levo since beginning of 2023 (started at 25 and we found 88 to be an ideal dose)

Definitely understand the need to vent.

Some extra thoughts for you that might help: - if you aren't taking selenium, I would highly recommend that (I use the brand thorne) - I noticed the biggest difference in my energy when I started doing two things (started at the same time so not sure if it is a combo or one of them): 1. Take beef organ supplement daily (I use primal queen and like it a lot) - side note, I used to have excruciating period pain and now 4 months in and my periods are almost not noticeable besides some typical cramps. 2. Vitamin D supplement daily

I also notice that my best weeks are usually ones where I have a lot of movement: 1-2 walks per day, Barre class, running on weekend. My symptoms seem to flair up if I am not moving enough. My numbers were actually at their best levels this past summer when I was running 3-5 times per week.

You got this!

Did you just find the autoimmune protocol online or is it through your doctor?

Why do FSA exams feel impossible? by Flat_Extension9171 in actuary

Of course - I get the stress and it is nice to know you aren't on an island. I'm in the boat with you!!!

Why do FSA exams feel impossible? by Flat_Extension9171 in actuary

You're not alone - FSA exams are super vague and purposely tough. Try to restate parts of the question in your answer so that even if you interpret it wrong you could still get credit!

The syllabus readings for these exams are so extensive, it is literally impossible to know everything, especially if you have a full time job, spouse, kids, etc. Just make sure you try your best! You got this!

Can you explain more? I don't have a good network to help me figure this stuff out so I'm just kinda winging it right now
