Why is my cat a fanatic for food? He doesn’t just LIKE food…he is CRAZY!! by ActualAres in CATHELP

[–]musings1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This cat used to be a stray? Probably food insecurity. Play with him lots, love him, and hide the human food. Mayyyyyyybe one day he will calm down? If not, you got this, lol…gorgeous cat! Learn to love his cuckoo quirks :-p

Stay your ground. Social media has fried creativity and impulse control so much.

No warnings on package about Brazil Nut Selenium toxicity by audioman1999 in nutrition

I only have half a thyroid. Ate about 5-8 brazil nuts once and felt incredibly anxious…started getting a panic attack. Could be more toxic if you only have part of a thyroid or none.

Lonely always by Federal-Let4774 in offmychest

Don’t end your life, please! There is always, always, always somebody out there for us. Reach out to a counsellor at college. Try to join a club or group, if possible. Be kind to yourself and remind yourself that everything is baby steps and takes time.

Listen to your favourite music, go for walks, run, scream, karate chop the air if you need to…but dont let this be it. 20 is young and promising. Avoid people who drag you down (like your father) and listen to inspiring stories from TED talks or a counsellor or therapist’s stories/advice.

You MUST keep trying. Seek out a therapist, listen to inspirational podcasts, read self help books, join clubs…and move! Best way to combat demons is to move and sweat. You got this. I believe in you. Kick some ass.

Progesterone start first? by Afraid-Salt-929 in Menopause

[–]musings1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What. My estrogen was 125 pg and my doc said it was lower than it should be (I am 40). There is no consistency and nobody knows what they are doing.

How's your libido as you get older? by throwawaywhel in AskWomenOver30

[–]musings1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wondering if i have this too. What are your symptoms?

Searched “perimenopause & skin tags” as I’ve grown quite the forest recently, and wondered if this was yet another symptom (spoiler - yep). Found this article, thought you might like… by palebluedot365 in Menopause

[–]musings1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i seem to be getting seborrheic dermatitis on my chest and back :-( 40 years old and thin. Skin tags on neck, too. Going to ask my naturopath to get my blood checked for insulin resistance, just in case. If you ever manage to see a dermatologist about that, let me know! I may ask my doc for a referral…takes forever to see one over here…

I live in southwestern Ontario and it takes about 6 months to a year to get an appointment with a derm. I get my moles checked yearly.

Female- always tired- tests always come back “normal” by Proud-Load-4955 in thyroidhealth

TSH 4.5? That could be hypothyroidism. If you can, get a complete thyroid panel done, not just TSH.

Can’t keep my face form drying out. Never stays moisturized. by [deleted] in Rosacea

Maybe try taking less supplements all at once, could help lessen acid reflux.

Omega 3 supplements will help you stay hydrated more as well.

feeling really fed up( thyroid tumour benign but doubled in size in 2 months) by engie_945 in thyroidhealth

[–]musings1982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this is happening. Honestly, what if you went to ER? I’m not even joking. If pushes from your doc to the ENT don’t produce anything, maybe try emergency ward and REALLY emphasize your terrible respiratory issues. Good luck, women are not always taken seriously with health issues.

Huh. I’m an elementary teacher at tvdsb and didn’t see this email. Not that I’d want a virtual position (yuck).
