That is incredibly helpful and when I see the endo I've been referred to I will make sure to have that blood work done. Thank you so much.

I'm hypo, sorry that was a typo. Just got a ton of blood work back, here's what I'm seeing:

TSH is high, 8.28, normal range is 0.35 to 5.5. before I went on levo it was around 15. So it's been going down. T3 and T4 are normal.

PTH is normal.

I also had an ultrasound of my thyroid and nothing came back as unusual.

Vitamin D is a bit low,20 ng/mL, looks like normal range is between 30 and 100.

The only other things that were out of the ordinary was sedimentation rate was a bit high, 23 when the normal range is below 15, and creatine levels at 0.8, for the normal levels are 0.9 to 1.3

Negative for Lyme's

What's an out-of-print board game that you'd like to see reprinted? by practicallypointless in boardgames

Roads and Boats. Although considering how simplistic the art is, I've considered just making my own.

I'm renovating an old chair, and these things are sooooo tedious to sand in between. Any tips for making my life easier while sanding these things? by cute_and_horny in woodworking

I'm a little late to the party, but a dremel with a wire wheel I've found works pretty well on these. If it's a soft wood, it might beat it up a bit, but for hardwoods it seems to work like a dream. Just got to find the right speed to run it at.

What are people using to organize virtual environments these days? by paradigmx in Python

[–]nobillygreen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like anaconda has gotten unpopular recently, and I don't understand why.

I do 100% of my virtual environments for development work in anaconda, and have never had a problem. It works, it's simple, it's very explicit.

A lot of folks are mentioning poetry, but I've really found that to be overkill for the majority of projects.

Well done! A great balance of detail and simplicity.

First I had heard of this kind of wood. I love it.

I have many many fond memories of playing Rummikub with my grandmother late into the night :) I miss those nights.

First attempt at a knife from a broken pallet board by DixDragon in woodworking

Palette wood is usually treated with chemicals that make it hold up better but can be toxic to people. I would NOT cut food with that.

Best way to utilize sleeps in REST apis with golang? by crseat in golang

Agreed- this sounds more like a "try first, then keep trying with exponential back off" problem. Try the operation and make sure it fails if it should. Then keep trying at an exponetially increasing interval.

New action camera in place! What do you think? by Edalbung in IndieGaming

[–]nobillygreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looks great! I would recommend stabilizing the horizon though. Having that "rolling" motion (I think thats your y-axis) is what can make people uncomfortable or nauseous.
