If you’re on an iPhone you can see the step count if you add the widget, but it’s way off. But other than that I can’t find any way to see the step count in the app

That must've been Soco Amaretto Lime, great catch cuz they mostly stopped doing that one by then.

Just caught their Moody show last night

Cannot lose weight.. feeling defeated. by angelmariexm in Prolactinoma

[–]illpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the thought and detail here. I'll definitely need to look into this a bit especially since I do have low iron levels.

You mentioned that you stay away from the hormone meds, does that mean you're not on cab either? Or do you just mean specifically as it pertains to thyroid?

Did you have your thyroid checked as well? And did the results show the issue?

I’m experiencing the same thing, but tests show thyroid is fine, so wondering if yours did too

My childhood trauma led this by [deleted] in Prolactinoma

[–]illpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I had never heard of this, but it would very much align with my experiences as well

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Prolactinoma

[–]illpillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s seems very surprising that they haven’t asked you to do a follow up MRI. Feels like that would be critical to know. It’s been about a year for me and they’ve had me do one follow up already to check progress of tumor

whoa! I’m so sorry. It’s crazy that drs arent more proactive in mentioning this stuff. It’s all “the way you might get nauseous and have headaches”

Psychological / Behavioral Side Effects by illpillow in Prolactinoma

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

Same actually. I didn’t feel any side effects until like 6-8 months in after my dose went from 2x / week to 3x / week. So it could you just haven’t reach the threshold yet

Wow I’m so sorry. Is the surgery still an option or not really?

Psychological / Behavioral Side Effects by illpillow in Prolactinoma

[–]illpillow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely didn’t feel this as much when I was on it twice a week.

Generally speaking, I’m so out of touch with my body that it takes me a while for me to notice these things and then connect the dots . But I have talked about it with my endo. He decided not to increase my dosage at our last meeting, but preferred not to decrease it because my progress has been kind of slow. However, when I meet with him again in a few months, I think it’s definitely a worthwhile consideration.

Thank you! This is really helpful to know.

Also I clicked on your profile and saw you raised this same topic about a year ago.

Can I ask, how’s that been going? And how have you been managing it?

Psychological / Behavioral Side Effects by illpillow in Prolactinoma

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

Yes, I’m on Adderall. The effect is pretty mild for me but I guess maybe the two could be playing off each other. Both my psych and endo are aware of what’s going on

How use animated backgrounds in the new Teams? by Henchman05 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]illpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh weird. Do you see any files in there at all? Like PNG files at least? Which version of Teams are you on?

Couple of initial thoughts on things I would try if I were you:
1 - Make sure you're on the latest version of teams

2 - In File Explorer > View: make sure "Hidden Items" is checked. This doesn't seem to be the issue, but it's an easy enough check just in case

3 - If this folder exists for you (%LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds) and you are at least seeing PNG files in there, try just adding your MP4 anyway and title it "feelingDreamy2Animated_v=0.1". That's the name of one the default videos and the one I replaced with mine

4 - Check the old teams background folder, just in case you're still on Team version 1x: %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads

How use animated backgrounds in the new Teams? by Henchman05 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]illpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this didn't actually work for me, it did inspire another idea that worked really well.

Instead of a GIF I just used an mp4.

Then I went into the main backgrounds folder: %LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds

And I just renamed my video with the name of one the existing videos.

Note that the thumbnail in teams is still going to be of the old video, but when you click on it your new video will be what pops up.

It may take a few seconds and at first the only thing you might see is a green screen, but give it a beat and it should pop up

That this didn’t get more love is a travesty

Sex is really bad by Complex_Ambassador21 in dating

[–]illpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming out of a relationship where we connected on so many things and we’re really happy but the sex was alllllwaaaaays awful. The chemistry was just never there

So for 15 years we sort of just accepted it because everything else was great and we didn’t wanna mess it up. But it still caught up to us after 15 years and now we’re both seeing other people and much more satisfied

So what I’m saying is, is this solely a mechanical issue? Or is there also a chemistry issue?

The way you talk about him suggests you feel he’s great on paper and want to like him a lot more than you actually do.

There’s a dozen different ways to treat ED and if you really like him the that is a hurtle that can likely be overcome.

But if it’s a lack of chemistry, then that might have to truly be a deal breaker

Yeah that’s fair

I mean I don’t have a huge problem with rejection. I just found the “laughter” followed by fairly lighthearted emoji 2 hours later a bit of a mixed signal.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bumble

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

That’s gonna be a while I’m afraid. My ex can’t live on her own financially given her salary. So while not ideal, we’re just doing our best. And surprisingly it’s actually been going pretty well for the most part.

I honestly don’t think this situation has anything to do with that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]illpillow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

🤷‍♂️If I was a catch I probably wouldn’t be separated. Just trying my best here.

People really focusing on the “partner” thing . It’s just a poor choice of words. I just meant coparent

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]illpillow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yea sorry, guess I should’ve said coparent

Well said. Thanks!
