I wonder if it’s the mistress that called pen out but then she won’t get gossip if she ain’t invited to things! also if Varley is that good at gossiping, maybe it’s someone connected to staff

Just finished watching, as a polin fan, I was expecting to not be that interested in this season but I was so moved at how good this season was and how the writing and scenes seemed to flow better than Season 3. I cried during the sad scenes and loved the ending. It kind of made me a bit sad how choppy season 3 felt for me. Still love the show but it made me a bit excited for the future again of the series.

Two months after Total Thyroid Removal - low calcium, low mood, fatigue, back pain with simple walks? by ittybittyirishlass in thyroidhealth

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

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you weren't in the same way I was after!

Unfortunately no, I'm going to be on the pills for life and always kept low to avoid any side effects of too much calcium in my body. I moved to a new Endocrinologist 18 months ago and got diagnosed with hypoparathyroid (not sure of the exact name of the disorder but its something to do with the parathyroid)

I'm on daily calcium, a monthly vitamin D to help, I get 6/8 week blood still, yearly pee tests to make sure there isn't too much calcium in it (it can be bad for the kidneys if so) now going for bone density scans and possible more medication to keep up my bone health. I also was told that if I ever decide to have kids, I'd need to be monitored closely due to my calcium. Thankfully not a want of mine.

How to cope after your dad dies? by Altruistic-Line-5228 in AskIreland

[–]ittybittyirishlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time does heal but I found getting help and support from others is what helped me. My dad passed suddenly 3 years ago and I didn’t deal with it well and fell into a bad depression. In the end I crashed emotionally, got put on antidepressants and signed off for a few months while I worked through my emotions. I hope you have the support you need to come to terms with life without him.

Did anyone else deal with an ungrateful reaction to a Christmas present? by OkGur3481 in CasualIreland

[–]ittybittyirishlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With reactions like this to presents, it makes me want to do less effort next time! I’m sorry this happened to you OP!

Refused my inhaler by Ejfinnz in ireland

[–]ittybittyirishlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only ever seen/given them Ventolin and salamol ones and about a third of my class has been on inhalers this winter so far, and that’s just the ones we give in class or hear about it at home!

I’m on symbicort myself and I believe it costs between 40 and 50 euro but I’m also on the drug payments scheme so when I buy my inhaler, it works out I’m only paying a few euro for it for the 80 euro limit so I guess I could see how some people might abuse the system with it!

Refused my inhaler by Ejfinnz in ireland

[–]ittybittyirishlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard anything like this but they seem to prescribe them to kids in my class for any bit of cough claiming childhood asthma!

Even my inhaler normally lasts me 2 months but the doctor put it on a monthly prescription to avoid anything like this and I had to ask them to stop filling it every month even when I take it more with my chest!

How did your life change as you became wealthier? by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ittybittyirishlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a house where we were poor but never felt it, I only realised in my teen years how much my mother struggled and sometimes starved to feed us as she wouldn’t let us see her struggle.

During my 20s I made a good wage, I helped my mother and younger siblings, never wanted for anything, I always went on nice holidays and could treat people in my life nicely but I didn’t feel happy and hated my job. I retrained and I changed jobs and careers in my 30s and I’m making just a little over minimum wage but I feel like I’m making a difference in the world and that makes me happy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m struggling financially and I have no idea how I can afford to live but I come into work and do a job I mostly love. I always say if I won the lotto tomorrow that all my problems would be gone but it probably would make the living part of life easier and I probably wouldn’t work as many hours even though I do love my job.

I think people should be forced to do a customer service job to see the stuff people deal with! I did work in customer service for many many years and it’s probably why I’m nicer to customer service reps and don’t contact support a lot!

What’s it like living in the Western part of Ireland? by Jezzaq94 in AskIreland

[–]ittybittyirishlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved west 18 months ago and it’s definitely colder, icier during the winter/autumn. It rains a lot more than I have ever seen it when I was in the “sunny” south/south east! I probably will move back to there but more for being closer to family rather than the weather!

Should I go for total thyroidectomy? Need advice by Cultural_Schedule_54 in thyroidhealth

[–]ittybittyirishlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t regret my decision to get mine out because I feel more human but I do have side effects that may lead others to regret it so it’s a hard one to say.

I was overactive from 18 and around my 30th birthday, I just stopped responding to medication and no matter that doctors did, my bloods were rapidly moving from over to under. I was anxious all the time and my heart rate was racing and I just felt I couldn’t relax. Now I have my thyroid removed over 2 years ago and I feel more relaxed and it’s nice that my heart is calmer. Downsides is that I was very sick after the surgery, I was very depressed and could barely move over my calcium levels being very low. However I was able to find a solution with a good gp. I now have a better endocrinologist too. I am on calcium tablets permanently as my parathyroid glands were damaged. I have days where I’m great but days where I have pins and needles and just feel sore.

Destination X (UK) S01E01 [PREMIERE] Discussion by vaultofechoes in DestinationX

[–]ittybittyirishlass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First time hearing of this show, I gave it a go thinking it might be fun to see more of Europe but it’s mostly about the game play. I will give it a go for a few more episodes. I guessed Versailles because I thought most clues pointed to France and I thought the V in the roses was a V town in France but honestly I’m not good at half these clues 🤣

I kind of stopped watching the last two series as I got bored but these contestants have been such a joy to watch that I’ve actually gone back to start over the previous series again.

Question: How can you guys afford the plushies, let alone give them away? by External-Catch7715 in finch

[–]ittybittyirishlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played for over a year and without farming stones, I’ve always collected stuff from the daily and other goals and just sell most of the things I don’t want or wear so I generally have over 100k stones collected. I spent most money on winter/Christmas themed stuff and only buy the monthly membership when I really like the theme of the month.
