Wanted: W words

When your stomach starts hollering, drink a glass of water instead of eating.


Having a regular schedule to your day for arising, eating, exercising and a regular bedtime will make you healthier.

I’m gonna have to try that next time! Cause sometimes I’m not even hungry but I just “have” to have an ice cream or a “snack” with TV or whatever. Maybe I could stop the TV temporarily to cut the snacking. Idk. The schedule thing makes a lot of sense though and I’m sure would help a lot so I’m gonna try that as well as cooking again. I liked doing that. Although I gotta cook healthy stuff too cause cooking doesn’t do any good if it’s loaded with butter and mayo and cheese and million eggs like my fried egg sandwiches the other day we have a ton of vegetables from the garden going bad because no one uses them. Maybe I’ll use them.

You really need to cut back on the disposable plastic stuff. Climate change is real, and this sort of stuff doesn't help. Read the water report for your area. Your tap water is perfectly drinkable.

I really don’t care whether or not you believe me.

It's not at all uncommon for women to suffer from thyroid deficiency. I asked my dermatoligist why my hair kept breaking off and he ordered a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test. Just a blood draw. The mechanism is this: TSH will be elevated if the thyroid gland function is weak. When your T-3, T-4 (Those are the potential and active forms of the thyroid hormone.) are low, the pituitary gland releases TSH to turn thyroid production "on." If TSH is elevated, that means the thyroid is not responding adequately. The treatment is just an inexpensive tablet of T-4 was once a day, calibrated to your blood test and (ideally but not usually) to your symptoms. It's much easier to treat a test result than a person. That's adequate more often than not though, so...

You can have effects beyond sluggishness & weight gain... cardiac & other systemic stuff but I don't remember the details. You should just ask your doctor; she prolly won't need to see you. Just do the telehealth thing. You can take your own BP/heart rate & temp. I'm sure your parents will have those instruments on hand and the Fitbit will also tell you your heart rate. I felt a lot more energetic after I started taking Synthroid. It's not a panacea, but at least you're starting from a foundation of a reasonably level endocrine playing field.

Yeah I know and I’ve been trying to be better about it lately but I’m not home so tap water isn’t an option atm. I normally drink from the fridge and/or refill bottles. That’s what I’m gonna do with these too. I got the big ones so I could at least refill them later and use less bottles than the individual ones. They were the same price. $1 each. I definitely do need to cut back on my plastic use though but in this case I needed water and there wasn’t any other option.

AND ITS AWFUL!

Cardi B... first time I ever saw her or heard of her she was interviewing Joe Biden. Appalling, shockingly ignorant individual (Cardi B, I mean). Absolutely NO self-awareness or sense of decency or self-respect. I can't begin to imagine why his handlers would pair him with that poor creature for an "interview."

Thank you!! This is extremely helpful and definitely makes me feel better! I do have the Fitbit and I think it tracks the heart rate over time too. I’m not sure if it’s slow or not, I don’t think so, but do have a lot of the other stuff and it is in the family so I think it would be worth at least checking for sure. I’m gonna feel really dumb if this fixes stuff, like that it’s so easy and I didn’t do it sooner I know it probably won’t but still.
