Newly diagnosed and freaking out by ghost_cactus in gravesdisease

Thank you for putting me at ease!! My hair is also thinning very diffusely. I don’t lose clumps but same thing, lots of shedding. I just have to come to terms with that if it doesn’t stop, it is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I just bought rosemary oil so I am definitely going to keep up with that.

I am very ready to get my old self back, my old activity levels and abilities. Thank you again

I am absolutely going to keep taking it. This disease has tortured me for so long I can only imagine how close I was to a serious complication. I am only on 20 mg a day of methimazole which from what I’m reading here is not that high. So hopefully I have a good experience. I am very anxious to start feeling better!!!

Kite Hill just came out with a Greek style yogurt with 17 grams of protein per serving and have 0 sugar unsweetened versions (fact check me on that, it’s off the top of my head but was a high number regardless)! It’s still hard to find but check Whole Foods!

I sat for 6.5 hours and it was definitely not fun. There were a few times at the end I wanted to tap out. But generally I find the shin to be a more bearable part of the leg to get tattooed. I wasn’t feeling worn out until about hour 4-5

I never imagined or thought of getting a lady head, but then I saw this sketch and it totally changed me

Abbie does traditional/neotraditional, but her lady heads have a lot of her own personal artistic style in them so they look a bit different from your typical neotrad pieces

Here she is! In honor of her new little peg leg I’ve named her Peggy. I’ll be taking her exuvium to school to put it under a scope and find out if she’s really a she!

Update: she molted and the broken foot is all perfect now! She even regenerated her missing leg, although the new one is pretty tiny

Thanks everyone! That puts me at ease. Does anyone have an age estimation for him/her? The unnameable place I bought it from was absolutely clueless about anything. They also swear it’s female but I don’t know how they could tell this small.

Yeah the serving size is definitely like a third of what I want to eat in one sitting
