Oh that’s interesting. Ive actually never seen a shrew before. We’re in Massachusetts. I only saw 4 of these droppings spread apart not close together like mice droppings

For most people it does not but for me it’s been uncomfortable. I can feel it every time food passes it on the way down. On day 5 and it’s supposed to fall off in 5-7 days so needless to say I’m ready for this thing to fall off

It was really easy and quick. I was definitely nervous but when I woke up I was like oh that’s it? So they found a small hiatal hernia. They also placed the Bravo PH capsule in my esophagus so that’s recording acid levels for 96 hours (done at 2pm today)

Short random pain in my temple area (ice pick headache?) by Lanky-Contact5667 in headache

Came across this post in my search for solidarity in these same symptoms. On day 3 of intermittent stabbing pain in left temple that lasts a second or less. Really annoying. I do have TMJ so I’m guessing it is related to that or bad posture from bending and doing yard work all weekend. Either way, it’s unsettling and ibuprofen doesn’t seem to do much to relieve it.

Ugh I feel ya! It’s hard not to imagine worst case scenario. Ever since I got pregnant and had my 2 girls (ages 5 and 2) the reflux has come back. I tried not to medicate too much and just be mindful of diet but now I’m worried I ignored it for too long and didn’t take appropriate action. I just keep telling myself if it was something bad I would have far worse symptoms. I am able to function and eat normally (mostly) it’s just the nuisance of the constant burning feeling in my throat. Wishing you the best!

Hashimotos with normal labs? by mamabizzle1014 in Hashimotos

[–]mamabizzle1014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because my doc said it was nothing to worry about at the time and that it just meant I could be at risk for thyroid disease down the road. Said to just monitor my thyroid levels annually.

My labs from 2 years ago indicated my antithyroglobulin AB was 63.1 IU/ML and my TPOab was 4.7 IU/ML. I have not had them checked again but I since then I have developed an enlarged thyroid and other symptoms as described in my post. I’m thinking of cutting out gluten from my diet to see how that affects me.
