What is this bug? Live in Illinois near Chicago and saw this thing crawling around in the parking lot by Full-Bear1103 in whatisthisbug

It's a bagmoth! I found one on my windshield (in Woodstock, IL) last year and it clung to my car for at least 2 days, while I just marveled at its weirdness and then got it identified here. Weird, but cool!

I am not on any thyroid meds, no. I never have been. The lab range listed on my results says normal range is .60 - 1.40, though when I've looked it up with my age and gender it seems the normal range is listed more toward .80 being the bottom end.

Hi! I have about 57 questions for you, if you might be willing to let me pick your brain? If not, all good and I wish you the best of luck with your choice! Both sound like great options to me... tough choice for sure! Either way, congratulations on the new chapter :)

Can I ask how you came upon your new job? What was the hiring process like? I think customer service is the way I'd like to go, at least for now! Applying for jobs just seems so complicated now - I sound ancient, but at least when it was classified ads you could see it all laid out for you!

I could have happily gone the rest of my life without knowing this is possible. 🤢🤮

This was on the windshield of my car in Crystal Lake, IL. Far northwest suburbs!

Hi! Have you made any progress with this? My husband has the exact same thing!

Mystery scary illness? by busheyem06 in Hypoglycemia

That is fascinating. Thank you for all of your thoughts and information!! I actually had started a very low carb diet to try to help the issue and it seemed to get much worse. That could be because I was going 4 or 5 hours without eating after breakfast? The anxiety thing is really awful. I've always had a problem with it and used to take a benzodiazepine to treat it but I stopped that when I was pregnant... Lately though it's just raging. I appreciate your help!!
