I’m 27 and at a better health plan, decided to go to the eye doctor every year for the past 3 years (usually went every other year). 3 different eye doctors (I moved to my current town 3 years ago leaving my lifelong eye doctor). Each time I went my prescription jumped up by 0.5-1 full diopter. For reference my previous prescriptions have stayed steady or increased by 0.25 every year before. At 27 I don’t think this is normal. At all. But every single one has cleared me of any structural issues and have basically said your eyes just change as you age. I think I’m being scammed. I went from -4 to -7 in 2.5 years which is insane as I had been wearing glasses for 18 years prior and only made it to -4. I’ve had the prescription on my glasses made and it gives me a blinding headache it is much too strong. I’ve been wearing my old pairs which I can see perfectly fine through. My most recent optician prescribed me myofocus lenses which nowhere else but his clinic will sell me at a ridiculously high cost as it is only approved for children. Should I seek another opinion? How do I find a good optician for this who’s willing to start from the beginning to see my actual prescription?

Is this progression of vision actually possible? I don’t think so so I am seeking a better eye doctor but curious to other experiences

Hey I’m 25F, and I produce electronic dance music, dark pop and ethereal wave. I just graduated from Western and I live in the area, and I’ve been struggling to connect to women in the field. If any woman wants to connect, be music friends/friends, collab if the vibe is right, lmk!! I mainly just want other women to talk music with (ideally ppl based in London so we can jam). Please feel free to PM or comment :)

Diagnosed 4 weeks ago and started meds that day. At that point I was so weak and sore from a basic 5 minute walk. I was so tired even with a ton of sleep, I struggled to do basic chores, even socializing was such a hassle. Today, I jumped on my rebounder for 2 mins, I hung out with a friend and walked 4 blocks. I’m looking forward to a movie at a theatre I had previously dreaded going to because it had a set of stairs to climb, even though I was excited for the movie. I could never have done that last month, I didn’t even realize how small my world had become. Very thankful for this medication and the small successes from it. Wanted to share a success story because I was terrified of starting meds due to some things I have read here about side effects, which are totally valid experiences too.

We were planning on driving up north but it looks so cloudy and the weather app shows a storm coming in so I’m unsure. Is there a place we should go to miss the clouds or is it just not feasible this year?

I am booked to get one to prevent pregnancy, I can’t have hormonal birth control due to a brain tumor. Curious about peoples experiences and how it impacted Graves for you.

F25 Diagnosed last week, started methinazole 5 days ago. Feeling worse than before but I know it’s going to be worse before it gets better. Feeling very hopeless (I also have a brain tumor - pituitary). Is this my life for good now? If it’s not the thyroid it’s the tumor. My mood and body have both gone to shit bc of both. Curious if anyone has been in remission after meds for their thyroid.

I (25F) was diagnosed with the pituitary tumor (prolactin secreting) first then 6 months later I all of a sudden developed hyperthyroidism. My hormones have been consistently monitored over the past year and there was no thyroid issue then all of a sudden, Graves’ disease. Curious for experiences

I’ve always been told to take meds after eating. I tend to get nauseous and throw up easily. This is the first medication I was given this direction to. Is this why you were also told? Instructions were to take it twice daily before a meal. No minerals to be taken anytime before or after for 3-5 hours. After I asked other options she said if absolutely necessary’s to take it 3-4 hours after a meal. Curious about your routine.

I’ve tried 3 bonnets now, they are all sliding off my flat back of head (thank you mom and dad for no tummy time). Please recommend me some so I don’t wake up every morning needing to refresh my hair.

I’m getting married next year and me and my bridesmaids are across the spectrum on shades from very fair to deep. Looking for someone who can do a soft glam and match tones well for a wide range. I am medium deep olive tone so experience with olive skin would be great.

Looking for an optometrist that does ortho-k or any of the myopia progression reduction work. 25, have had myopia since 9 and it has not slowed down as my current optometrist had said (new glasses every year or two) and I want to try the current treatments.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor that impacts my hormonal functioning and I am unfortunately very weak, suddenly hugely overweight, and usually very tired due to this. However, my doctor suggested getting in some exercise to preserve my muscle as much as I can manage. I think that’s a good idea but I am not sure what exercises to do that are low impact but good for muscles. I used to lift weights but genuinely 20lbs now feels too heavy and I am out of breath quickly. I would prefer if I can sit or lay down to do it (which I know is not much but I want to be able to do something on days when I can only do little). Do you have any suggestions?
