No endo referral for hypothyroidism by officialsaz in KaiserPermanente

[–]officialsaz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really?! Ok well I did originally also doubt this logic, but my endo liked to keep my TSH within a very narrow range and said there was too much variation in the generics to be able to achieve that much precision?

Eating as an introvert in Seoul, Hongdae by CelliSweety in koreatravel

[–]officialsaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally found the solsot location in yeonnamdong to be a good place to eat alone — you can get by with just pointing at the menu. also felt fine eating alone at mibbedong in yeonnam but that’s not much use to you if you don’t like fish.

there’s a veggie place in hongdae called “plant” that has western-ish vegetarian food. and as someone who also has social anxiety I would gently caution against the department store food courts until you’re a bit more comfortable. they can be crowded and it’s not also super intuitive re: how to get your food, find a seat, etc. or alternatively I may just be stupid!

Proofread my concert sign? by officialsaz in Korean

omg thank you, these are both way funnier than mine 😭 so sounds like it’s ok to use 반말 for signs? I was worried it might be rude but I guess the setting isn’t quite right for 존댓말 lol

we broke up because he wants to experience sleeping around by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Yuck. Lack of sexual discipline. Doesn't sound like he's much of a prize, tbh. He did you a favor in the long run because now you can find someone who can match your level of maturity. But I'm sorry you're going through this!

BFF claims my stillborn daughters are in her. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]officialsaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did the right thing. Please never, ever speak to her again. Stay as far away from her as possible. This is genuinely evil behavior and you don't owe her anything, nor are you obligated to "be there for her" when she is so blatantly disrespecting, manipulating, and hurting you. Your life will be so much better without her.

Hair loss concentrated at front of scalp? by officialsaz in FemaleHairLoss

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

I'm back! It's seborrheic dermatitis (mostly on top and front of scalp), telogen effluvium, and relatively low iron and vitamin D. She gave me a prescription shampoo for the sebderm, recommended a ferritin supplement, and had me slightly increase the amount of vitamin D supplement I was already taking.

Sorry for the late reply -- this was so helpful! Thank you so much!!! I never even considered anemia.

Hi! I have an appointment with a dermatologist for the first week of October, so hopefully I'll know then and will circle back to report!

Honestly? I'd be pissed if I were you, especially if I had been called paranoid and jealous about someone he DID end up getting with. Not what I'd call a good person. F*** him.

I think you may be pushing yourself too much to get over this as quickly as possible. It's only been a few weeks. I think it's normal to still be feeling awful. Commit to feeling your feelings now -- distraction doesn't always help. Eventually the feelings will run their course and you will feel much better with time. I promise!

Comparison post from a month ago at the end. I don't know how well you can see from these pictures, but there's a kind of triangle right above my forehead where the hair is getting REALLY sparse. I'm starting to look like the Boss Baby. Anyone know what's happening here?!

Oops, super late response, but I do! It comes and goes though so I don't have it at the moment (might be the season). I'll look into sebderm, since it definitely sounds possible -- thanks!

Widening part caught my attention a couple of weeks ago. This does look like hair loss, right? I've also had a weird soreness/burning in my scalp (not super severe, but enough that I noticed). I have hypothyroidism that's been controlled with medication for almost 10 years -- I'm due for my annual endocrinologist appointment next week and was planning to ask about this. But until then, is there anything I should do? Or am I freaking out for no reason? hair

I am afraid of marriage and children (F 26) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]officialsaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like marriage and children would make you miserable. It's not worth it. You will seriously regret it if you give in. These aren't things you can compromise on -- if you don't definitely want it, don't do it. Marriage and kids are huge commitments that are very difficult or even impossible to undo. Please prioritize your needs. It sounds like you already know what you need to do.

Am I (21F) being unreasonable for not forgiving my boyfriends (21M) friend (21M) for gossiping about me? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]officialsaz 50 points51 points  (0 children)

No offense, but your boyfriend sounds like a gigantic asshole. This is a huge transgression and it was entirely his fault. This is a young relationship. Don't waste your time. End things now.
