What Happens When Your Thyroid Stops Working!

Hey there! So, picture this: we’re sitting down with a cup of coffee (or tea, if that’s your thing), and I’ve just got off a fascinating chat with two awesome people—Dr. Fareha Jamal and Maryam Jamal—about something that’s been on my mind lately: thyroid dysfunction. You know, that little butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that quietly runs so much of your body’s show? When it stops working…

[carolofthebell]

Before I got medication for my thyroid condition I slept at all times I wasn’t working and generally consumed 48oz of coffee to get through a shift. We can have the best of both worlds here.

"tim goes for days at a time without sleep and lives on caffeine" where did this even come from. my man fell asleep in the middle of his gf trying to tell him she cheated on him. he fell asleep on a rooftop out in gotham in the aftermath of him getting the clench and also one time he fell asleep on a ROLLER COASTER. tim drake is not averse to sleeping he LOVES sleeping.

why is everyone so averse to the comedy of this? you know core four have a running tally of "weirdest places we've found rob conked the fuck out". bart found him snoring on the stairs one time, head on one step, feet a few steps down. cassie discovered him snoozing in the gym, sprawled out on the bench press bench in a position that could Not have been comfortable. kon has stumbled upon him curled up against the side of the supercycle (why didn't he just get in the seats and lie down properly? who knows). this guy LOVES to be asleep. he does so much all the time. he's tired. he's eepy. let him eep

That feeling when you’ve been off your thyroid meds for a few days and now your entire body feels like someone flipped the wrong switch and now it’s malfunctioning

Progress Update

I did a bit of backtracking because I wasn't happy with the first version of the beginning of Chapter Two (which means I'll have to tweak the ending of Chapter One but whatever). As you can see, your parents (or crushes) decide to visit you in jail -- here's hoping things don't go south!! I have, also, realized in planning out some of Chapter Two that the routes I had initially planned, were expanded a bit and will require quite a bit of coding because of branching. I'll work on them branch by branch and release them as they are finished (or half-finished) to keep my momentum going. Besides, I've already failed at updating once a month ahah! Might as well embrace my inability to remain punctual with updates!! Needless to say, Chapter Two's jail scene will have two variations; the couple, as seen above, and Greta! One or both will lead to a few shenanigans if things continue as planned~! Rambles about RL below -- preceded with caution!

Also! I adopted a kitten recently, his name is Stinky and he's going to be nine weeks old next Tuesday! He's been taking up quite a bit of my time as I've had to try and deal with Quill and Jean (my two-year-old kitties) adjusting to having him around. My second job will also be starting up in the next week and a half or so which means I'll have less time for writing -- however, if what I've learned ends up being true, I may end up on some medication that should help me out with my frequent illnesses and lack of motivation. This means that despite having less time due to work, I'll develop more of a drive to write more consistently and/or stop over-thinking my writing. Sorry as always that updates are so few and far between and always end up being revisions. Hopefully moving forward things will change and I'm feeling optimistic! We can hope and we will see!! Stay safe, drink water, wear a mask if you can, and wash your hands!! Until next time!

i’m just calling it right now the World Economic Forum types are going to use third parties to convince us the rise in lactose intolerance is because either 1. “Humans were never meant to consume dairy” or 2. “Humans are adapting to an environment in which dairy is globally unsustainable.”

Anyway. Just thinking about how I developed severe difficulty with swallowing towards the end of my pregnancy with Leo and not one medical professional that I mentioned it to - and I mentioned it to every one I saw because I could hardly eat and it was making me miserable - tested, looked at, or even mentioned my thyroid, at the time or postnatally.

This is part of the wellness discourse. It's from the wellness cults that leads straight into fascism.

The wellness cults reel you in with the idea that you can make good and bad decisions that can impact your health for good or for ill. That's all fine and good.

But then it has you believe that because you can make good and bad health decisions, you have absolute control over your health, and if you make the right decisions all the time, you will maintain physical and moral purity that's visible to others. You will never be sick, and will presumably live forever as long as you make good choices all the time (and don't worry, we'll tell you what the good choices are).

The wellness cult categorizes everything into good (safe) or bad (dangerous), and encourages you judge others when evidence of their bad decisions show up in the form of illness or need for medication. Wellness is just a repackaged version of sin.

Anyone who needs medication or medical treatment of any kind has made bad decisions and is therefore a sloppy, incompetent person at best and evil at worst. Why don't you just make the right choices? Are you just lazy, or are you terrible? There's no such thing bad luck for them, your genes or environment don't make decisions for you. You can right-think your way past any medical problem, as far as their concerned. Refusing treatment somehow gives you the power to cure yourself. Got cancer? What did you do to get it? Need medication? Why don't you just take some responsibility and eat right and exercise?

Lifelong medication for these people is an admission that a person has embraced their sinfulness.

It's a cult.

calling trans people "forever patients" or w/e says a lot about how transphobes view disabled people as well, like yeah some people need medical intervention to live or to not kill themselves and sometimes they will need that care for the rest of their lives, sorry i guess

Basti Panchakarma is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment therapy that involves administering medicated enemas to eliminate toxins from the body and balance the doshas (bioenergetic forces). It's part of the Panchakarma detoxification process, which aims to restore health and wellness by removing accumulated waste from the body. Basti treatments are of many types like Shiro Basti, Hruday Basti, Manya Basti, Kati Basti, Janu Basti, and Uttar Basti. This therapy is believed to be effective for various health conditions. However, it's essential to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before undergoing any Panchakarma treatment to ensure it's appropriate for your specific needs.

Proof Was Just Published We Are Eating Fake Fruit In America

“We knew it, and now there's proof. Of course, it wasn't our FDA or our CDC that published this. No. It had to be clear across the world.”

American watermelons in the study have been proven to be adulterated. Actually consuming these adulterated watermelons can lead to serious health complications.:

After seen being injected with Erythrocyne B (shown in the video)

- This has been linked to altered childhood behavior.

- Thyroid dysfunction

- Centimeters Carbide, that white dust that you might see on an a watermelon. It’s a cousin to arsenic. It's used for artificial ripening. It's literally a poison

- It causes kidney problems, lung problems, liver problems

- Centimeters Carbide Poison can put you into a coma and potentially die. 🤔

Sorry to bother you,

Your blog is wonderful! Since it's one of the most dialogue/explanation oriented, i wondered if i may please come to you with a more general doubt. i'm sincerely confused... Why is "curing" disability bad per se?

So far, the arguments (on Tumblr) seem to be,

i. Consent.

ii. Generalisation. ("Everyone will want this same thing".)

iii. The undercurrent ideology holding disability as a flaw to be "cured" (including the use of the term "cure").

On which we all agree, they're implicitly bad no matter if it's disability or a haircut. Very well.

But.

What of magical healing per se is inherently bad? Because being given a choice implies that for every given person agreeing, there are going to be others who won't. So we should still write our fantastical society around them, that's not in any way in question.

But these, the possibility of magical treatment and the non-necessity of the same, are not mutually exclusive. You don't have to "take one before the other", they can very well coexist.

Last question (i promise), is seeking treatment for oneself bad?

Like, if there came up a quest to get the glittering flower blooming once a millennia guarded by the Evil Dragon of Evil and capable of magically taking away OCD and PTSD, sign me up! Or if there's a spell to resuscitate my thyroid or an alchemical pill that solves ADHD's executive dysfunction. i mean, that's kind of what my medications should do if they weren't so costly and inaccessible, and that would be a one-time thing too.

Autism's doing alright, i'd keep everything, thanks.

Disclaimer, i'm obviously not advocating for eugenetics (as this term has been often used and misused in these discussions, better to precise).

All these conditions in one way or another define me and effect my life in a pervasive, quotidian way, or/and on a more existential scale. Not always in bad ways -my life is not a tragedy, and this i wish to make clear. i'm not saying that a "magic cure" should come before a change in society to accommodate disability. What i'm advocating for is their coexistence, as a choice -not evil per se, but nocive if inserted in a context of ableism, negation of individual consent, and, indeed, choice.

Or at least that was what i was arguing for until a few months ago. Now however, seeing as the collective opinion is one of strong rejection for these ideas, i believe there must be some important fallacies in my reasoning, and i wish, before everything else, to correct them. To understand.

Sorry for the monologue, but, may you help me?

Thank you for your time and for your kindness,

Anonymous Sloth.

Thank you for your ask! The reason curing disability is bad in media is because the disabilities cured often cannot be cured in real life. People with incurable disabilities already have so little representation, taking away the characters they see themselves in with an impossible cure is incredibly disheartening. I live with multiple incurable physical conditions, and I’ve accepted that I’ll live with them for the rest of my life. Day to day I already deal with people saying how much better my life would be if I didn’t have these conditions I had no choice in getting, I don’t want to see that in my stories! If someone has my conditions I don’t want the author to get rid of them with magic, I want to see that character going on cool adventures and being badass! Sure a magical cure might be nice, but that’s never going to happen. I’m going to be living in this body for the rest of my life, and I want to see stories where people like me get to live their lives with their conditions!

Disabled people should be allowed to see themselves in sci-fi and fantasy stories! People who can’t be cured, who can only have their symptoms managed, who have to be on medication/assistive devices the rest of their lives and who don’t want to be cured should be allowed to see themselves in media without the constant reminder that most able bodied people think their lives would be so much better is they would simply stop being disabled.

Additionally, even conditions that do have cures or ways to manage them aren’t realistically portrayed. There are never any symptoms, side effects or rehabilitation, it’s always portrayed as a magical cure that completely gets rid of the disability. This rarely happens in real life, and I don’t think it’s wrong for someone who shares a condition with a character to want to see that condition accurately portrayed.

It’s perfectly fine for a disabled person in media to want to seek treatment, plenty of disabled people in the real world also have to fight to get treatment (though the fighting is usually against insurance and doctors, not dragons and wizards). But like I said above, it should be at least somewhat realistic. The world is already over saturated with stories of people getting magical cures that make everything better forever, but what about cures with long lasting or permanent side effect? What about healing that requires extensive physical therapy? Or someone who needs to take potions for the rest of their lives to manage their condition? These realities should also be portrayed. Sure maybe some people want to see an escapist fantasy where their conditions could get cured, but not everyone wants that and it’s almost entirely done by abled authors who fathom why anyone would want to see a disabled person who isn’t trying to ‘overcome’ their disability.

We’ve also reblogged this post & answered this ask that deal with similar topics if you want to check them out.

I hope this helps! Have a nice day,

Everything Mod Rot said.

Basically, it's like giving us representation and then taking it away. Readers with that disability are going to read that book and relate to that character. Having a character like you in a work can be so important. But then the character is magically cured of an incurable condition, and now they're completely abled. Good for them. But the reader is still disabled. The reader will still always be disabled.

Disabled representation is already so rare. It's not really nice to take away what little we have.

- Mod Aaron

Echoing what everyone else has said, I want to add an extra thing:

If there was a wealth of disabled characters in media, represented with respect and nuance and care and all that, some stories involving disability being cured wouldn’t feel out of place, because there would already be so much to see that it would be an interesting departure and not posed as the only option for a happy ending.

And if you’re writing something about curing a disability that you have because that’s your experience and it’s what you want, that would make sense as well.

But since so many representations of disability in media have the underlying message that the only way to truly be happy or worthy or whatever with a disability is to have it cured, to have the least amount of signs of disabilities ever, then adding more of the same to that can be not just frustrating but harmful.

An “overcoming” of disability, a “making invisible” of a visible disability, or a cure for a disability are not the only stories worth telling about disabled people—because they are also not the only lives worth living for disabled people.
