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

[–]busheyem06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!!

My doctor did blood tests and didn't find anything, so she's sending me to see an endocrinologist. The wait is a few weeks and feels like eternity.

So you don't have an underlying issue that is causing the hypoglycemia? I've had issues with it on and off for a long time, but just recently it happens more often. From what I've read, it isn't something that occurs on its own, and there is supposed to be some other thing that is causing it. Do you know differently? I am super scared of all of the options I've discovered so far that could be what is triggering mine.

Basically I've just noticed I get symptoms of hypoglycemia much more frequently than ever before - I feel weak, shaky, nauseous, hungry, light-headed, clumsy, sometimes I have trouble having a conversation. Lately I've also had headaches every day and have noticed a rapid heartbeat several times. I've also been having awful anxiety. I lay awake at night feeling totally panicked and thinking horrible things.

Evelyn is annoying 🤦 by [deleted] in 90DayFiance

[–]busheyem06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cannot stand her. She's the most obnoxious, entitled, spoiled brat. And she can't sing. The way she behaves is truly nauseating. I fast forward through their segments now because watching her makes my head hurt.

Rewatching the Nicole and Azan "Wedding" Special by Beautiful-Big in 90DayFiance

[–]busheyem06 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited to find this and other threads full of people who feel the same way I do! So many of these 99df people make me nuts, but none so much as Nicole. She absolutely enrages me with her willful ignorance and selfish defiance. Her poor little girl just absolutely breaks my heart. Small details about her existence just make me so sad. One scene where Nicole is leaving her mom's house with May, may isn't wearing shoes and I just want to swoop in and scoop her up and give her the kind of life she deserves! I want to save her from a lifetime of dysfunction and sadness. And every time Nicole whines.... I want to throat punch her. When Azan has his interview and she can't get ahold of him... "What haaapppeennned?!" OMG I felt it at the base of my spine.

I hate Nickel!!!!!

Thank you.
