No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The normal range for TSH is between 0.4 and 4.0 mIU/L. However, if my TSH is 4, I'd barely be able to move. I do better with it as close to 0.4 as I can manage. You could have a "normal" TSH and still have symptoms.
Also, did they check for thyroid antibodies? After my wife and I were both diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, we started pushing to get our three kids tested. They were young, and had "no symptoms", so the pediatrician didn't want to test them.
My wife chose to be a pain in the ass and harass their doctor until she gave in and ordered the tests. Imagine her shock when the two older kids had high TSH and our daughter, who was in the normal range, had positive thyroid antibodies (showing that she also had Hashimoto's even though her TSH was normal).
Also it turned out they all did have symptoms. They all experienced personality changes when their thyroid levels were off. The oldest would get mopey, middle kid would get weepy, and the youngest would get angry. It was wild.
Did you/they have the thing about talking? I'll mention testing for thyroid antibodies next time!
Definitely. When we're under-treated my wife and I both struggle to find words that we should know. Sometimes saying the wrong word without realizing it.
I started always using Google maps on my phone when I was driving because once day while I was driving home from work I found myself at an intersection and didn't know where I was.
I typically don't realize I missed a pill until the next morning, then when I see it all the crap I went through the day before makes sense.
