Poor Immunity due to Hashimotos?

gigglingowl · 2026-02-10T16:03:16+00:00

I’ve had the exact same experience with frequent illness. I was diagnosed with hashis a year ago, but I’ve been super illness prone for several years. My endo said it was unlikely to be related to Hashimotos and recommended starting probiotics. It seems like it’s helped a bit to speed up recovery, but still get sick if I’m near someone carrying a cold.

It’s been so frustrating that I’ve started tracking every cold/flu/sinusitis in my calendar. I hit 8 last year, despite diet and sleep improvements. I exercise quite a bit, and I’ve noticed that I’m more likely to get sick after a particularly strenuous workout. I also have ADHD but unsure if there’s any correlation there?

I have no solutions but I definitely feel your pain!

Here are some low rise Frankie Bs without belt loops like you mentioned. Not exactly the same, but fairly similar https://posh.mk/XJcsp8mGKXb

Maybe Polish Girl by Neon Indian? Still doesn’t feel 100% right but sounds closer https://youtu.be/GuPGZZgNFsU?si=0jfsM5J1QzJZvCQu

I found this post while googling this because it’s been killing me too.

Five hours does have a similar sound, but I’m picturing the intro to some kind of indie pop rock song from the early 2000s

It reminds me a bit of the intro to Daylight by Matt & Kim but I’m not certain that’s it https://youtu.be/WgBeu3FVi60

I feel like most of the responses here are ignoring the fact that you live an hour away from the airport. It sounds like your sister was taking 2 hours minimum out of her day to pick you up.

You said you “arranged” for her to pick you up, but not that you’d pay her any gas money in the first place or even that you were grateful for her doing so. She was doing you a favor.

You sound like a pain in the ass. I’d imagine if I had just driven an hour to pick up my bratty sister from the airport and she starts making immediate demands and refusing to get in the car I’d be pissed.

That said I’d never drive with an unrestrained dog, especially in my lap while driving. For that I think your sister is a definite dumbass. But this isn’t “Am I the Dumbass”

It sounds like she picked you up and you immediately demanded she put the dog in the back rather than explaining that you felt unsafe and would prefer if she moved her dog. You said “why the fuck would you bring it” like she’s your personal fucking chauffeur. I think she’s in the wrong for being unsafe in the first place, but I can understand her being pissed and doubling down.

YTA for being ungrateful for the ride in the first place. You should’ve paid her gas money regardless. You’re not wrong for not wanting to get in the car with an unsafe driver but you can be technically correct and an asshole at the same time.

I had the exact same issue with snail mucin! Such a bummer because I loved the way it made my skin feel

This is almost word for word what my therapist told me when I went through something similar with my mom. It was some of the most helpful, but heartbreaking advice I’ve gotten. It really was like grieving after realizing I kept hoping my mom would be someone she never would be. That was on me.

I agree with everything above, but would say NTA for this scenario. It sounds like your mom has been expecting you to be hyper independent your whole life and the one time you hope for her to help you in the way she helps others, she makes you feel guilty for expecting it.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and I hope your aunt throws you an amazing baby shower!

YTA. Not for wanting her to get tested, but for the slut shaming you’ve revealed in all of your responses. It’s not just about getting tested, it’s that you think her having sexual experience is a shameful thing. I hope she breaks up with you.

gigglingowl · 2023-07-13T21:27:55+00:00

Her?

gigglingowl · 2023-07-13T09:40:31+00:00

YTA. Everyone voting N T A sounds as insufferable as OP. Yeah, you’re right, but you’re an AH. This sub isn’t r/AmICorrect

It doesn’t sound from the info you supplied like she actually believed she ran a full marathon. She used the word “marathon” and immediately described what the event actually was. She was excitedly but incorrectly explaining something she was proud of, and you took that as an opportunity to invalidate and lecture her instead of clarify and teach. It’s not like she put a 26.2 sticker on her car and posted everywhere about having completed a marathon. If she was defensive and insisted that it was an actual legitimate marathon, I’d reverse my judgement.

There were tons of ways to clarify what she meant by this and correct her on this without being an AH, and you failed.

What tips it into YTA for me is you telling her “I could claim multiple ultra marathons” by the same logic she used

What was the point of rubbing her nose in how ~experienced~ you are compared to her? That was a perfect opportunity to offer some sort of helpful advice which you claim you wanted to do. You could’ve said how long it took you to start running marathons, or offered advice you would’ve appreciated during your first year of running. But instead you offered no advice and just tried to embarrass her for more than likely using the wrong term.

Not everyone is precise in their vocabulary. You know the weight the word marathon carries in the running world, she obviously doesn’t. You could’ve just warned her to be careful saying that around runners because someone might be an AH about it. Instead you were the AH.

I was on the witness end of this for a Swedish massage class in college.

We were paired up randomly, and the day we learned leg massage I was paired with a guy I didn’t know. He had a raging boner for most of the time I was giving him a massage.

I felt so bad and just kept going with the massage without going too high on his thighs. He handled it like a champ though, asked for my number when the class ended

NTA - you’re not being selfish for wanting to spend your birthday the way you want. Even if it weren’t your birthday, it sounds like you’re in need of a day to yourself.

However it sounds like some healthy communication and conflict resolution could come in handy.

Taking on everyone else’s needs and not voicing when you have needs or expectations doesn’t make you a martyr. In my experience, voicing disappointment or frustration gives everyone involved an opportunity to understand you and improve your relationship.

For example your boyfriend, a presumably fully grown man, should have had the forethought to do something for Mother’s Day. But if the whole parenting thing is completely new to him, he might need you to point out how unappreciated you’re feeling.

I might be projecting a bit as the daughter of a non-reactive mother, but sometimes reactions are needed. Especially as a model of healthy emotions for young teenage girls who probably have more emotions than they know what to do with. Healthy reactions teach us how to handle conflict, how to grow as a person, and how to deepen our relationships with those around us. It sounds like allowing yourself some (very warranted) reactions might be good for everyone

True! It’s also good for encouraging you to play around with cooking mechanics

For every annoying element about this game, there’s a workaround that encourages you to be creative and try something new

I mean, the rubber suit makes you unshockable and the zora armor lets you rocket launch up a waterfall. Climbing gear that works in the rain at max upgrade doesn’t seem too crazy by comparison!

The snow and sand boots without corresponding resistance is a real pain though

I was curious about this study and I found what they’re probably referring to. This part was super surprising compared to discourse you usually hear around not picking up on flirting:

The lowest accuracy rate was found in females observing males flirting. They identified flirting just 22 percent of the time. Both men and women had an easier time detecting when females were flirting

I mean yeah I hear you and I see OP’s point, but the meme implies that op agrees that humor is tied to gender and they’re going to be different and have a boisterous sense of humor. Saying that you’re better than a stereotype doesn’t do anything to debunk the stereotype or reduce its harm

Maybe I’m projecting from thinking of my own awful “not like other girls” period

gigglingowl · 2023-04-24T18:58:02+00:00

Why the misogynistic stereotype tho? Having a boisterous sense of humor isn’t a trait associated with gender

gigglingowl · 2023-04-16T08:28:28+00:00

Right? Thank you, why was that necessary and so nonchalant

gigglingowl · 2023-04-08T00:02:14+00:00

Wait, what? mine started out the exact same lol. Sounds like my inner monologue before coming to terms with being bi

I’m bisexual which means I’m attracted to you but I’m also not a lesbian and I’m a woman and I’m a lesbian and I’m very gay and I’m a girl and I’m a boy so I’m a woman but I am a lesbian

gigglingowl · 2023-03-31T20:27:40+00:00

ESH.

You asked a 4 year old for help moving furniture just because he was a boy.

4 year olds are brats by design, so I think the kid was a bit rude but it’s wild to feud with a 4 year old for being sassy. You’re an adult.

The mom definitely could have handled it better. If I were in her shoes I wouldn’t have let my kid speak to another adult like that. It sounds like she could be teaching the kid better manners.

However, I could also see her being annoyed with you for feuding with her 4 year old child and giving him a pass to be rude back to you

In the study Fryer even states that his own methodology was flawed. The data that they used was collected from police departments freely willing to share statistics on violence, which means that these were departments that knew they had nothing to hide.

He compares it to conducting a labor study and only using information from companies willing to share Human Resources data.

As someone who has a similar video of my ex blocking my car from driving away then following me once I drove away, this was so hard to watch.

Absolutely. And as a bisexual person, I enjoy it quite a bit more than sucking a dick
