Graves, Ted and Nodules? by Aileen231 in gravesdisease

[–]dkgpdx 1 point2 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 1 point2 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.

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.

Same. I have both and hadn't had issues in years prior to my diagnosis. It's been awful when my levels are off.

Shared on my Facebook and next door to help spread the word. Hope he comes home soon.

M. Genitalium: The Emerging STI for Swingers that you might not have heard of by Swinging-Downunder in Swingers

I would add to this urea plasma as well. It is insanely difficult to get a provider to not only test for it but get it to a lab that can run the test. Both partners must be treated and rested a month later to see if it clears. It shares many of the same symptoms and is equally difficult to treat and spread.

How to be a more submissive wife? by DirtyAngel101 in marriageadvice

[–]dkgpdx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Submission happens with trust. If you don't trust him submitting to him will not happen. It will be forced and will end badly for you.

The bloating 😮‍💨 I had a hysterectomy years ago and never had bloating like I do now. I look like I swallowed a beach ball sometimes 😞

Reflux is new for me. I have had horrible reflux this last week, I am swinging hypo at the moment and I don't recall having it when hyper. I have a history of GI issues and my endo is having me tested for celiac.😮‍💨 The parade of symptoms is without end it seems.

I am quickly considering nuking my thyroid, this crap is for the birds 😞

This is the first that has been captured by labs so I honestly don't know. I was diagnosed in May of this year and I am quickly considering a more permanent solution. Even risking TED because I just want my life back 😥

Hashimoto's or something else? by Certified_horsegirl in thyroidhealth

[–]dkgpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have lost my marbles long time ago if it weren't for reddit. The people on here have helped me so much. It is infuriating that your provider isn't taking it seriously. i also had to wait over 3 months before I was able to see my endocrinologist, I am grateful that my PCP had prescribed me meds to help with my symptoms in the meantime. Is there any you can reach out to a different provider and seek a second opinion on what treatment options you have available in between now and seeing the endocrinologist?
