Hashimoto's supposedly doesn't cause rashes, although apparently a lot of us have skin issues. Supposedly I just have rashes from the eczema 🥲
Hashimoto's attacks your thyroid, which is super important for keeping you alive. It kills your thyroid over time and significantly increases your risk of developing thyroid cancer. The current "treatment" is hormone replacement as the thyroid dies :) And some doctors recommend going gluten-free (something about the protein of the thyroid gland resembling gluten + increased risk of developing Celiac iirc?)
Some people with Hashimoto's have no symptoms once they're on hormone replacement. Others may still have symptoms like GI issues, mood swings, weight gain, increased blood glucose, fatigue, joint pain, feeling cold a lot, menstrual issues, headaches, just to name a few off the top of my head (but there any many)
No one ever told me this part (I was diagnosed over a decade ago), but we also actually have higher nutritional needs. The body is CONSTANTLY using resources attacking itself, the same resources it would normally use for something like an infection. So we're more prone to nutritional deficiencies, like iron, B-vitamins, and vitamin D.
There have been "rare" instances where the antibodies have started attacking the brain (I use quotes because Ha Ha It's Hard To Get Doctors To Investigate Anything, could be affecting more people than we know!)
Depending on how much hormone your thyroid can still produce, you might be able to go some time without your thyroid meds. First few years of my diagnosis I technically didn't "need" meds, but I took them occasionally because research showed that starting them before needed can slow the progression of the disease. Now I can maybe miss a day and not really notice... more than that and I start noticing it. I'm still on a low dose, so I imagine my body is still making enough hormone that I could probably live a few months without it while feeling very shitty and doing damage to my organs.
If your thyroid isn't producing enough hormones and you aren't on treatment, you will eventually decline and go into a coma. You can still be treated at this point... but without treatment, bye 😭
Just going to jump in immediately with my thoughts as a disabled person with an ESA, since I often see a lot of anti-ESA sentiment from people I would expect to be allys.
If you understand the actual law - no one “abuses” the ESA policy. There has never been an ESA registration. It has been a note from an actual medical professional that you see for treatment stating that the animal is medically necessary, and this only applied to housing.
Anyone who accepted “ESA registrations” didn’t understand the law, anyone who said ESAs could be in public places did not follow the law.
You should not be okay with punishing disabled people because other people aren’t following the law.
Maybe fine people who break the law and put that money towards programs that improve the lives of disabled people.
Just opened another one with the same mold, so something’s up.
I did just notice the expiration date is only on the lid… which can easily be swapped, since there’s foil underneath. Not sure what went wrong here (they both have the same expiration date) but feels like a stupid place to put the date regardless.
I probably did. Any time I countered him he just got more aggressive.
I was talking about starting a movement; he attacked me out of nowhere calling me an idiot saying the government would find out blablablah and there’s no solution to anything and we shouldn’t even try blablablablah. I was initially civil and he kept insulting me and completely ignoring what I was saying.
He broke rules too iirc, but he didn’t get banned.
He made YouTube videos and his channel description included his number of kids. He was a public content creator and regularly posted about where he lived.
Am I doxxing the POTUS in this post if I say his last name is Trump and he’s married to Melania?
If you don’t want people to have your info, don’t tell it to the world.
turn off all ai and you kill caine
you might be proving their point since they discussed the flynn effect, and then the reverse flynn effect
but. iirc, there are issues with using iq as a measure of intelligence anyway
someone snuck this little gem into the article

Someone mentioned adoption; I also want to mention fostering, volunteering for Big Brother/Big Sister, becoming a CASA, etc.
I know those aren’t the same thing, but sometimes there are multiple ways to meet a need :)

maybe that’s the point?
i’m not saying it is or isn’t, but it wouldn’t be surprising
Contact him and tell him your thoughts. Maybe he would.
