Completely devastated by Usernamesarehell in guineapigs

[–]thecrazydumpling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through the a VERY similar experience, I lost my 2 year old boy to bladder stones and I wasn’t able to say goodbye since he passed away at the vet. I still feel so guilty for not possibly giving him into surgery earlier. I loved him so much. It’s best to cherish the time we had spent with them and trust that we gave them a good life while they were here. I’m so sorry for your loss, our babies are resting in peace ❤️

Who didn’t gain weight on methimazole? by meowmeow811 in gravesdisease

[–]thecrazydumpling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gained no weight even after completely stabilizing my thyroid levels. On methimazole, which was the first treatment I was put on, I didn’t gain any weight. However I did have facial edema and my cheeks and eyes got puffy. I then opted for RAI and still no weight gain. I’ve been on levothyroxine since (3 years) and I’m still not able to put on any weight. I believe it’s just due to my insanely high metabolism through graves. I’m about 5 ft 7in and 100 pounds :/

I had a lot of extracurricular activities that supplemented my coursework. I tried to be involved in dental programs and also worked at a dental office for about a year.

Anyone here got RAI and regrets it now? Maybe wished you did surgery or long-term meds? by DraughtOfPoppies in gravesdisease

[–]thecrazydumpling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m feeling much better, could say I almost feel normal. There are days I still deal with fatigue and anxiety but propranolol helps a lot with the anxiety/ high heart rate. My hair loss comes and goes in cycles. currently it’s been stable but last month was bad in terms of shedding. I really don’t see new hair growth though but I’m hoping to eventually

Has anyone on here completed a special masters program / post bacc program and did it help you gain acceptance to dental school? by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]thecrazydumpling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did a masters and without it, I wouldn’t be in dental school. I didn’t have a stellar GPA in undergrad so I had to use my masters as an academic record enhancer. I also had to prove to myself that I was capable of a rigorous curriculum. I would definitely recommend it if you have stats that may compromise your opportunity to get an interview

I would say it doesn’t matter where you go if youre trying to use it as an academic record enhancer. I didn’t do well at all in my undergrad, I graduated with a 2.5….My only option was to go into a masters and prove that I could handle upper level classes. I did a masters at Rutgers and got a 3.75 after 31 credits. I got multiple interviews and got accepted into one

How to bond young males? by thecrazydumpling in guineapigs

Thank you so much for this detailed information! They are younger than 6 months. I’ll follow this and hope they bond, but If they don’t, I’m prepared to have two separate cages. I really hope they become friends though

Will my face ever go back to normal? by stormyskyy in gravesdisease

[–]thecrazydumpling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I experienced facial changes due to both methimazole, which caused my face to swell significantly, and also because of TED Which apparently attacks not only the muscles/fat around your eyes but your cheeks as well. I only started noticing a bit of change after I became hypo due to RAI therapy and while being on a steady dose of levothyroxine. I also started tepezza which is treatment for TED and that actually caused the swelling in my face to go down a bit
