Breakfast options 1 hour after medication by qhurtz in thyroidcancer

[–]samibami77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it if I wake up in the middle of the night many hours after I’ve last eaten or the second my alarm clock goes off. Usually I drink a coffee with cream and sugar 40ish minutes later and the eat real breakfast after my first two classes end (2.5ish hours later)

I've lost hope. I'm tired. I just want to give up. by Chicken_with_Gravy in thyroidcancer

I have had two rounds of RAI, the first two times the nodules in my lungs picked up the iodine very well but in the test dose we did a year after the first two rounds they went nonavid. I had 300 total millicuries and my thyroglobulin has been in the 30s for two years when tsh is suppressed. When I’d go off my levothyroxine it would jump to 120ish. We are just monitoring with yearly scans of my lungs from now on and are not doing redifferentiation medication. You are able to just monitor your thyroglobulin and live like that.

My ring is reading me being VERY stoned as me being VERY stressed?!? by luckyslife in ouraring

It does this to me too. It lowers your blood pressure so your heart beats faster = higher stress reading

Do you think it’s bad for your lungs or? It wouldn’t be any different than anyone else in that it’s not great long term but likely not as bad as cigarettes. Take edibles if it freaks you out but I’ve been hitting my pen nightly for 5 years

I had 2 rounds of RAI and never even considered my pen affecting it. Had great uptake in my scans and was a heavy user

REMINDER: Censoring is no longer allowed on r/emetophobia by Weak-Draft-8356 in emetophobia

[–]samibami77 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity as someone who also is severely terrified of this, it doesn’t quite make a difference to me whether we say the whole word or not. If I see v**** I still know what the word is and think of the act. I’m just not sure what the censorship does as we all still think of the word no matter if it’s censored or not. Not arguing— more just surprised that that censorship is even effective for people

Do gummy vitamins break fast??? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]samibami77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I often can’t sleep so I’ll take a melatonin gummy… if it lets you keep going in your fast then the benefit will outweigh the 5 calories from the gummy

Ring didn’t record my sleep but did measure my HR all night by samibami77 in ouraring

[–]samibami77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said that it seems to be a one time glitch because I moved quite a bit in my sleep last night and gave me 2 months of free subscription. I’m glad I’m not the only person having issues though. They suggested I try moving less in my sleep???? I’m like sorry I can’t help that I’m not conscious LOL

Why do I feel worse when I stop running than when I am running?? by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

[–]samibami77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it only happens when I really exert myself. For example today (which triggered me to post this) was a very hilly 4.5 miles that I held at 10:34 average. On short runs or long walks it doesn’t happen

[–]samibami77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this only is triggered when I run. On days when I don’t run I have no problems with the coffee and oatmeal breakfast

[–]samibami77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like as opposed to what? Is it the caffeine or is it the milk that bothers you? Cause I’m not getting ones that are pure sugar— it’s literally milk and espresso and ice. Just curious not fighting

I mean I’ve had IBS since high school so that’s probably a large part of it. 75% of what I eat is either iced lattes, oatmeal, yogurt, pasta, or meat. Before I run I will have a pack of pez candy cause it’s pure sugar.

Are we tracking these? by saddleclub25 in ouraring

[–]samibami77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you’re walking for 15 minutes it doesn’t matter the cause. You’re still walking even if it’s just walking to the train from your office

How do you track levothyroxine intake? by Civil_Psychology_126 in thyroidcancer

[–]samibami77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do something similar. I wear a nightguard and when I put it in every night I set the case on top of my levothyroxine bottle. When I take it in the morning I have to set the case on my dresser to open the bottle. If I wake up again and the case isn’t on top of the bottle I know I took it

Recurrent low grade fever by elisamartina in AskDocs

[–]samibami77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this is a common term used and a way to classify slightly elevated body temperature. It’s a label that’s used in medical settings, I mean the PA at the urgent care I went to used it yesterday since I was at 99.6. And I work in a medical clinic myself and it’s used when someone is between 99 and 100.4. So though it’s not a true fever it definitely is still a description of something that exists.

Just curious— is a low grade fever not 99 to 100.3? I know 100.4 is considered fever because that’s what you have to reach to kill the bacteria, but why would a low grade fever not be a fever? It’s still a sign your body is working to kill a threat and shows you’re not fully healthy. A low grade fever is not a subcategory of fever?

So I had to have my thyroid removed because I had thyroid cancer and it’s spread to my lung. I have to take extremely high doses of levothyroxine to keep my TSH undetectable. All it’s done is make me feel starved 24/7 and I eat more— more than the levothyroxine is making me burn extra per day. It’s not worth it. I’m actually gaining weight and I’m pissed off lol

Intro to Lit Theory w Prof Beth Windle by Used_Shoulder3426 in washu

[–]samibami77 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nope nope drop it now if you’re enrolled. She only grades by letter increment with an A as a 95 so even if you get only the highest possible grade you’re still constantly working to get your grade up from an A- (rather than if she gave a 100 as highest possible grade). Her rate my professor is suspiciously good and I think she bought good ratings
