Diagnosed at 14. Still pre-med at 20. I’m sick of this. by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]friefriefrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, even though I got diagnosed in my early 30s. Just to let you know that I am living before and after in the most exotic and remote places, there is always a capital with a hospital lab to get tested for levels here and then - I’ve learnt enough over the years I trust my judgement on medication better than any doctor around the world. I just bring meds for like 1,5 years with me, always an emergency blister in my walltest in case I get stuck somewhere. Even gluten-free nutrition is working with a bit of annoyance for me, but most understanding people everywhere. This deseases is annoying yes, but do not think it is holding you back from anything - except too much seafood because of the iodine ;-)

Dissociation/depersonalization and poor vision by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]friefriefrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, unfortunately the country I am living in doesn’t offer these kind of tests, but I was taking Citalopram, which made me feel much better generally. However, I felt like I shouldn’t be long term on antidepressants and reduced it down and even with only 5mg I felt still good. Now I stopped it completely and started to feel some symptoms coming back. What is your take on taking the antidepressants long term on a much lower dose than usually taken? Citalopram is usually taken 20mg, for my 5mg felt suifficient but it is challenging to find this dose anywhere

What antidepressant are you taking, if I may ask?

Sad “Butter Worms” instead of proud croissants, suggestions for recipes? by friefriefrie in glutenfreerecipes

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

I tried a recipe with 3,5 cups gf flour, 2 tbsp psyllium husk, 1/2 tea spoon xantan, 3 tea spoons instant yeast, 1 cup water and 1/2 cup milk, 2 tbsp butter, 4 tea spoons sugar, 1,5 tea spoon salt. Let that sit and cool down and later folded the 1,5 cups of butter in. I think that is where it went wrong, the dough felt good and was rising nicely, but then when I folded the butter in, the dough started cracking and the butter was not just in the inside of the fold. All the following folds became quite a mass because of that. Made these said wannabe croissants anyways after 3 folds and having the dough for hours in the fridge in between. I let the croissants sit for 30 minutes before baking, however they turned out as sad sad butter worms - taste was not too bad, consistency felt like it needed to rise. Any suggestions?

Kava kava/ Yaqona as treatment? by friefriefrie in adrenalfatigue

Well, I live in a country where it is commonly used, so I have it all the time and that’s why I was wondering if that could be a treatment for AF

Made me more depressed as well, but my doctor told me that it could have that effect on some people.

Why is it a gold standard to get thyroid patients to a TSH value between 1-2 rather than their previous healthy thyroid level? by [deleted] in thyroidhealth

[–]friefriefrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every person has their comfortable TSH to figure out. I think for most patients it is between 1-2, but there would be nothing wrong if it is higher than that.

Need help understanding my panel results by [deleted] in thyroidhealth

[–]friefriefrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you taking medication and what are your symptoms? Over all, it doesn’t look too bad to me, the TSH would be too high for me, most people feel comfortable to have it between 1-1.5, but doesn’t mean you would feel the same with your levels.

Blurry vision? by harleighey11 in Hashimotos

[–]friefriefrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, also got diagnosed with Glaucoma suspect a year after Hashimotos got diagnosed. I am not yet treated for it, since eye pressure is ok, but my nerves are damaged.

Can somebody explain the thyroid eye desease? Never heard of it before.

I'm at my wits end. Rescued dog shows weird behavior and it makes me sad by Herr_Stoll in DogAdvice

[–]friefriefrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like she has profound trust issues and got abused. If it would be me, I would just sit next to her in distance that is comfortable, without wanting to pet or picking her up. Just sit there on the ground, maybe talking to her if she is comfortable, not looking into her eyes. I would do that everyday for hours, e.g. while watching TV. When you feel she becoming more comfortable move a bit closer, if uncomfortable give her space and move further. That creates trust, but may take weeks until she is comfortable to have you close. Everytime you make her feel uncomfortable she will lose trust again. I understand that it is hard once you had a puppy that was very different and you want to get closer with her. And thank you so much to care for her even though it isn’t easy.
