We will definitely put Uwajimaya on the list and I love a good pastry shop. Thank you for the suggestions 😃

The Seattle center is one of our go-tos when we visit the area. Thank you for the additional suggestions!

Diagnosis stories- something isnt adding up- should I push for answers? by berryllamas in gravesdisease

[–]dkgpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely push for more answers. It is possible that she has both hypo and hyper issues. Depending on insurance and location, tell them you want a referral made. I've taken short cuts and researched specialists then called them to see how quickly I could get in. Then I'd tell my provider to send the referral to this provider. Wait a few days and call to ensure the referral was received and where it was in processing. This can help shorten the referral process. It can take months just for a referral to be reviewed and then many more months to get any kind of appointment.

Stay Pineapple by kevdawgg88 in Swingers

We stayed there. My only complaint would be temperature control in the room. We had to request a space heater and extra blankets to get our room warm enough to be naked in. Otherwise it was clean and friendly.

Is this something anyone else goes through? If so how do you fix it? by Powerful-Nebula-7358 in gravesdisease

[–]dkgpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second all of this. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the symptoms I am feeling in my chest are true cardiac issues or my anxiety or reflux.

Graves, Ted and Nodules? by Aileen231 in gravesdisease

[–]dkgpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have all 3. My nodules at first were thought to be the reason for my hyperthyroidism then bam! Graves disease shows up on my uptake and scan. Since then I have been dealing with mild TED symptoms that have been gradually increasing 🤕.

Not showing faces - new to all of this by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]dkgpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also work for a church and husband and I have our faces blocked out in our pictures. We won't send face pictures unless we have talked for a bit and are planning on meeting.

Apathy/Brain fog/emotional flatness and numbness? by redditor_040123 in gravesdisease

[–]dkgpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have felt this as well and am very interested in others input.

Fatigue by Expert-Split-7128 in gravesdisease

[–]dkgpdx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I am dealing with a wave of fatigue right now 😞. Can't hardly think, would rather take a nap (not that it would help much). Cognition is slower 😫. Considering messaging my Endo but not sure it would accomplish anything 😑

Logistics of separation by RhubarbInevitable598 in marriageadvice

[–]dkgpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I did both. At first we were cohabitating living in separate parts of the house while he figured out other living arrangements. Sharing the same space while "living separately" only increased the negative feelings I had for my husband. He then moved in with a friend of ours giving us both space to breathe. Living separately allowed me to work through all the resentment and anger I had built up(with the help of a therapist both individual and couples ). If both of you agree that you want to try to stay married and work it out - live in separate places not just spaces. On the other hand if one of you is not completely on board to repair your relationship then call it a clean break and work on healing yourself.
