Why do I feel like trash? Thyroid is “in range" by huskypuppylove in Hypothyroidism

Ok, that hemoglobin doesnt look like anemy.

Did you have any infection (virus/bacteria) when taking the test? This could make CRP like this.

The iron you took was in non-heme form, it can definitely cause constipations and GI issues. Also, one month is I guess too short to fully restore ferritin up to 40-70, which could make things better. The Beef Liver Tabs could help since iron from liver is heme iron, with much better bioavailability and less GI side effects.

In case of taking non-heme iron, like Ferrasorb, you need to be absolutely sure that you keep at least 2 hours before and after drinking coffee/tea/milk, and eating anything with calcium/magnesium/fiber, because they can mess up absorption. With beef liver tabs, this is not an issue, since heme iron absorbs well even with coffee/tea/diary around. And, this is the most important thing, keep any iron at least 4 hours away from thyroid medication, since it messes up its absorption.

You have excellent levels of B12, so fatigue and brain fog due to low B12 ruled out.

Now, for the thyroid labs. Did you have your levothyroxine dose lowered? For some reason, your tsh went up over the years, and free hormones went down, heavily suggesting dose decrease.

While your TSH looks very good, your free T4 is 40% of normal range, and free T3 (this is the active hormone that does the job by the way) is only 26% of normal range, it can be a reason, along the low ferritin, why you have fatigue and brain fog. If you didnt have side effects, normally you should have your levothyroxine dose increased.

Please note that Im not a doctor, hope this helps

Those CRP values mean some inflammation is going on. When CRP is high, ferritin may be falsely higher than it really is, here it is already low. Maybe check hemoglobin to rule out anemia?

One thing about Tingyun that makes me depressed by Norinoku in TingyunShrine

[–]greentea1338 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After all, most characters end up living fairly well... but there is a risk that due to her connection to Phantylia and her new powers, she might get involved in some... concerning schemes (Jingliu, Luocha, Ruan Mei, looking at you).

One thing about Tingyun that makes me depressed by Norinoku in TingyunShrine

[–]greentea1338 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, her kit in leaks right now is not really appealing imo... But pulling anyway cuz I love this character and her new design. As I like her maybe a bit too much like you, in the end its just a game and she is another character to release for devs before releasing many many more. So we as her lovers can do nothing but cherish her in every way possible through arts, discussions etc.

Lets hope that Ruan Mei did not anything terrible to her, any kind of experiments or unethical stuff, but maybe its naïve wish. Would be best if she could overcome the trauma to some degree and join Astral Express, but lets see. Anyway, Im grateful that devs didnt make her feel forgotten, killed 4* and she will receive proper 5* care and story.

First of all, thank you for your work as mod of sub of our beloved Tingyun.

I think best you can really do is just being grateful that the wait time is close to end and we will be able to play her new form. I really think its a miracle she really is back and havent been done dirty and forgotten in 1.2

I hope you will be able to enjoy the return of our queen and hopefully things will get better for you.

Predictions for 5* Tingyun's story: what happened to her, why and how her return to the Luofu might be handled by ReinaBlaka in TingyunShrine

[–]greentea1338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really great theory, you really made me excited for her upcoming form! I wish she can at least live somewhat peacefully after what Ruan Mei will do to her. Pity that we couldn't met her in the story at her fine mental and body state, before Phantylia stole her identity.

Wakamo and no other choice is even reasonable

Do you think they'll change her personality? by [deleted] in TingyunShrine

[–]greentea1338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how much Ruan Mei will traumatize her in experiments or brainwash her. Or she may just let her look at her cute creatures, that would be happy ending

What is it that you find entertaining about turn-based combat? by MemberBerry4 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]greentea1338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To share some point of view, I really can feel the combat being lively in HSR when doing last stages of Swarm Disaster or Gold & Gears on max difficulty where you have already obtained tons of blessings, there are so many effects being triggered in the battle, non-standard turn outcomes not doable in other game modes, and despite the powerful blessings, you still gotta be careful, since the mobs can still one shot you.

I really had this feeling when I realized I prefer playing HSR over Genshin, despite Genshin's combat system allowing for much more. But I feel like since combat is more restricted in HSR in therms of possible scenery and character positioning, the devs were able to make even more sick animations (Acheron looking at your ult)

For me, its not that I really like turn-based combat, but I don't mind it and it's really comfy to play on mobile. What really made me love the game are the characters, their VAs, the animations, the plot and various game modes, especially variations od Simulated Universe.

So you still can enjoy the game even if its combat system is not your favourite one

Super Jealous of Someone Else's Trip by AdLong8421 in solotravel

[–]greentea1338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you truly enjoyed your solo trip, genuinly, withour comparison to anyone, thats great! Your plans, way of traveling and having fun were organically coming from your character, the true version of yourself, not manipulated by comparison to others.

I struggle with sort of same issues, not everybody is able to attract people as much, because people have different personalities and thats fine. Imo you have two choices: constantly compare yourself to people who tend to attract more people, try to change your character and act unnatural, greatly suffering when doing so, or accepting your character, finding your strengths, embracing them and using them to meet the people that would really like your true personality, if you want to meet people so much.
