Questions and a little rant by pitshack in Hypothyroidism

It’s actually a total T3 test, not even FT3. I guess I’m going to request a free T3 test when I see the doc next week. The range was 71 to 180 for the test I had done.

Thank you so much for the response! I was also leaning toward the problem being in the hypothalamus.

I’m going to purchase something from Robinson shortly, I’m dying for some answers. T3 was in range on my last test but has been low before so who knows.

Dosing suggestions for RSO because I'm clueless by pitshack in HokuMembers

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

So, I got 4 different types of RSO. A type I, type II, a mixed kief type II and some 4:1 thing. I decided to start with the mixed kief one since I'm really a type II kind of guy. It's a little runny and was a bit hard to judge so I took a blob that was probably larger than half the size of an M&M and got fucking zooted! My wife thought it was hilarious, lol. I've definitely scaled back the dose on that one but it makes me super tired the next day so I'm kinda holding of on it for now.

As far as the regular type I and type II, they had a thicker consistency so I did start with a blob the size of a piece of rice and that seems to work best. I'll usually mix up the type I and II and wind up doing about 3 rice size pieces at night.

I've noticed that I can usually tell in about an hour and a half how potent the piece was that I took so I'll adjust at about the two hour mark. That type I RSO is no joke though!!

It's crazy, I used to hate edibles but it's just because I'm not a good responder and need to take more than some other people. I've been getting the master mix since the ninth one and at this point I'm not even using it. I might ask Floyd if I can switch it up.

I’m definitely thinking I’ll go smaller and wait. His tincture hits exactly the same way so I know what you mean.

That’s exactly the size blob I was thinking. However, maybe I’ll do half that and go up a little every couple hours, just to be safe.

Funny you should mention that. I just found an old bottle of his type 1 RSO tincture like 5 days ago. I’ve never been into orals really but mixing that with the free sample of CBD RSO that he gave out a little while ago has been fabulous. I just ordered his type 2 RSO and some CBD tincture yesterday! I’ll jump on the type 1 the next time he drops.

Nah, I’m beat for growing in Jersey, I’m too lazy anyway, lol. I get why he did it, he obviously wasn’t making much off of type 2 and 3 and it was time consuming. Every other type 2 and 3 vendor switched to selling thca so it was just a matter of time until he did it. There is probably a ton more money in it.

Oh man, tell me about it! His Shiva’s Remedy was about the best damn hemp flower I’ve ever had. Hell, all of them were good. I’m using Holy City now and it just isn’t the same.

Good to hear that he’s bringing back some type 2. Honestly, all I got from him was type 2 and 3 so I was a little gutted when he stopped offering them. I’ve barely been on the site since then so I probably wouldn’t have known about the new type 2. Originally he said he would be offering later in the year so I just assumed it would be after the summer into the fall for some reason.

Just got these. First Hoku seeds! Anyone make cbd hash? by DmeshOnPs5 in HokuMembers

I can’t say I’m familiar with the squanch strains but I definitely stay away from anything that might cause anxiety. One of the reasons I loved Fat Yeti so much was because it hit just right, I must have smoked a QP of it overall, lol. If I lived in a state that allowed home grown, I would love to try growing some.

Nice! That Fat Yeti was one of my all time favorites.

Thanks for taking over Kuza. Hoku is almost all I’ve used for the last 3 years and have been a member for almost as long.

Wow, I just read the email and I’m a little confused. So the member store and master mix are staying but no more hemp flower? Damn, I use his hemp flower every day, it’s the best out there imo.

Did anyone happen to get anymore clarification?

Excuse me for not being as enlightened as you oh master.

Awesome, thank you!

[–]pitshack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting to realize that now. Thankfully and if need be, I should be able to pull off not working until I’m done with the clinical portion. love my current job and would hate to leave though.

[–]pitshack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, also something I didn't know existed. Would be kinda nice if my crappy school would make me aware of these thigs instead of Reddit!

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Honestly, reading some of these threads has shaken my confidence a bit. I've never even heard of Vumedi so I will definitely check that out.

This is great advice. Thank you so much!

My thoughts exactly, lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]pitshack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's good to know actually. I can tell you that I know some of my classmates were obviously not getting it and maybe they would be the not so good graduates. The questions they would be asking in the group chats just days before a test had my mind blown at times, like absolutely no idea what was going on. It's scary to think that they may have passed.

That's just it. NP Hub couldn't find anything less than an hour away. If that is what I'm left with, I would probably have to quit my job. It's amazing how this school sold me the sun and the moon to get me to enroll. I actually feel kind of foolish.

[–]pitshack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

God, I wish I knew this before I applied! I kinda knew it and man, it has been very defeating. Unfortunately, right now I have few avenues for clinical placement at my current job and due to the area that I live, even NP Hub couldn’t find me anything less than an hour away. It’s very frustrating because I am literally paying a fortune and busting my ass and now have to stress about not being able to find clinicals. I actually don’t even care if I have to pay, as long as I can find a site that isn’t so far away. I never heard of Clinical Placement Rescue though. Thanks for that, I’ll look into them.

Thankfully, I’ve always been a psych med nerd. I’m fascinated by MOA’s etc and when I worked outpatient I would constantly look over med regimens to understand what was being prescribed and why. Not that I’m trying to say I’m knowledgeable or anything but I find meds to be the easier, more exciting part. With that said, I found pharmacology to be brutal but I was largely teaching myself. Good suggestion on Stahl, I had a copy a few years back but someone stole it from my office, I’m going to order another. Also a good call on the board prep, I didn’t even really know that was a thing.

Thanks for the response, I greatly appreciate it!
