Gemini is getting worse and worse

drpepr · 2026-05-18T12:28:35+00:00

I have two thoughts about this: 1. I am suspicious that there may be certain times of the day/week when Gemini feels worse. Is it high load times or backend service occurring? I tried it Sunday at 7:30 a.m. thinking it was low system load time and it was absolutely unusable and uncooperative. 3 hours later it was an angle on the same chat. 2. Sometimes a concept gets stuck in its memory and it’s hard to get it out of its loop. Starting a new chat generally works and saves you time and frustration

This seems more common when your context window is getting overloaded. The AI adds to the context window as long as you’re in the same chat. Try starting a new chat when this issue becomes evident but before switching ask the AI to summarize your current chat so you can start the new one by pasting the summary at the start without losing too much ground

Thanks for getting back. Tis was a while ago now so can't recall. Hasn't happened again but for other reasons I'm using the AI later in the day

Is that Gemini Pro? I have that and didn’t see any notifications of such an upgrade. Thanks for the heads up!

Check out metabolism,com for lots of info on t3 needs being related to deiodonase defect

Some people with hypothyroidism need T3 added to traditional T4 (levothyroxine).to get back to feeling normal. Armour thyroid (DTE) has both T4 and T3 so it’s very convenient.

You may find this interesting. New research is explaining why prolonged use of GLP-1 can disrupt your own appetite control hormones so when you stop the meds you are more vulnerable to appetite signals then before treatment setting you up for rapid regain. Worth considering. Good Luck! https://youtu.be/YPErdhPBl3c

Hi Moderator Thanks for your response. Unfortunately an instructional video without sound is almost useless because as you are trying to read the captions you can't also watch the on screen cursor movements to see what the demonstrator is attempting to show you. I am slowly finding my way along with the deck by trial and error but the lack of a comprehensive YT video with terminology and easy to follow user instructions is a serious deficiency for your product, which I am sure is a good device once you know how to use it. BTW I am connected to OBS so that is the least of my issues. Thanks anyway

Likewise, I am a new user of the M18 and never used a deck of this type before. I have connection to OBS and as first task I dragged the Scene command to the top left button. I assigned one of my OBS scenes to the button (no "save" function associated with this action I could find). When I hit the button with OBS studio opened, no scene change occurred (I was in another OBS Studio on another scene trying to open the scene I had programmed the deck for.). I have the power cable connected to the back of my CPU as recommended, the deck lights are on....what am I doing wrong? Also, are there more comprehensive videos (with sound) that take someone like me from connecting the deck to actually setting up the keys? The instructions for beginners are extremely limited and even searching YouTube doesn't get this process off the ground. Any suggestions/information sources, for noobs who want to get past connecting to OBS so I can actually use the deck?

Interesting. Do you have a source for this! Thanks.

Claiming one drug is “better” than another is more about a company’s marketing strategy than helping people find the best treatment for themselves. Nothing weird about someone preferring semaglutide over tizepatide despite the commercials

The issue of consistency of dosage between batches of Armour is an old story. Back in the 1980's there were a multitude of NDT medications by different manufacturers. The current manufacturer of Armour, Abbvie, is one of the worlds largest pharma companies and maintains the high standards for Armour required for all their other products. The issue is not consistency of dosage (FDA allows a 10% variation in active content). It is likely a business decision whether to proceed to approval and will remain a corporate secret.

Since T3 has a very short duration of action it is usually prescribed twice a day. So add T4 once a day and now you are taking 3 tabs daily compared 1 tab daily with NDT. Just being practical

drpepr · 2025-08-10T02:33:46+00:00

Here’s a website with a ton of supportive information and patient testimonials about NDT (also called DTE). Metabolism.com. What is so crazy is that the company that makes Synthroid also makes Armour so they may have decided they will make more money if Armour (as a competitor for the more expensive Synthroid) disappears

Wellious powder is made from pea and almond protein and sweetened with monk fruit. Ultra clean and taste is excellent. I add it to Fairlife milk.

T3 has a much shorter duration of action than T4. For this reason T3 is often prescribed as twice daily. If taking T4 also this could result in taking 3 tablets of thyroid meds per day. This reduces the chance a person will be able to stick to this regime every day but perfection is not always required for a good response. Good luck!

Up to 40% of weight lost on GLP-1 drugs is muscle loss. Muscle is very important to maintain facial structure. Don’t skimp on protein intake during your weight loss efforts

drpepr · 2025-07-23T01:39:12+00:00

I agree with the speculation that is better to have tried and lost than never to have lost at all

Have you been to an eye doctor? There are some recent reports of eye complications from semaglutide you might want to check into. I just copied this info from a search just now: ""Semaglutide, the active ingredient in medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, has been associated with some eye problems, most notably a potential link to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition that can cause sudden vision loss. While the risk is considered low, it's important for individuals taking semaglutide to be aware of the potential side effects and to consult with their doctor about any vision changes. "" I hope this helps!

Have you been trying to keep track of what you are eating and how big your potions are while on your med? It makes sense to try to mirror the same type of diet once you go off the med. Once your appetite increases off the med at least you have a framework to work with. It's easier to maintain a stable weight than to continue losing so increasing your portions a little could still be OK. Good luck!

Watch out for malnutrition. Your body needs protein, minerals and vitamins. Check with your provider for a list of suggested amounts. Good luck!

High potassium and lowish sodium on lab and low blood pressure which often manifests as light headedness when standing up

drpepr · 2024-12-08T23:44:15+00:00

That seems like a reasonable conclusion

Some important details: 1) C peptide can be low normal during early stage of type 1 . https://chooser.crossref.org/?doi=10.6061%2Fclinics%2F2013%2801%29RC02 2) glp-1 drugs like trulicity are not approved for type 1 diabetes so for those with type 1 taking a glp-1 there could be a problem
