The best way to defrost crab is to let it sit, covered, inside the refrigerator overnight. Crab legs can also be thawed by running them under cold water for a few minutes. Even if you do not need to run the crab legs under cold water to thaw them, doing so could also help remove any remaining ice crystals or slime. Pat dry with clean paper towels before using. Arrange the crab legs in even layers inside the slow cooker and add enough water to just barely cover them.  You will need to create multiple layers of crab legs, but these layers should at least be even. Due to the shape of the crab legs, an oval slow cooker usually works better than a round one. You only need enough water to cover the crabs. Too little or too much could be result in crab legs that are too dry or not sufficiently heated. Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic powder and dill.  If you prefer a stronger garlic taste, you can use 4 cloves of minced garlic instead of concentrated garlic powder. Since the crab legs are being cooked slowly, the flavors of the seasonings have a greater opportunity to permeate the thick shell of the legs and flavor the meat beneath. Pour the melted butter mixture over the crab legs in the slow cooker. Try to spread the butter over as many of the crab legs as possible. You can toss them to coat the crab more thoroughly, but this is not necessary. Cover the slow cooker and cook the crab legs until they are steaming hot and nearly melting inside their shells. It you did not have time to thaw your crab legs and are cooking them straight from a frozen state, add another 30 minutes to the cooking time. Use tongs to remove the crab legs from the slow cooker. Transfer them to a serving platter and enjoy while hot. If desired, you can serve the crab legs with additional melted butter or lemon wedges.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism include exhaustion, high blood pressure, weight gain, shortness of breath, and difficulty concentrating. Your doctor will need to perform tests to make an accurate diagnosis. They’ll prescribe levothyroxine if they find your thyroid is underactive. Let your doctor know about any prescriptions, over the counter medications, herbs, or supplements you take. Levothyroxine can negatively interact with blood thinners, beta-blockers, some antidepressants, and medications used to treat diabetes. It’ll take several weeks for levothyroxine to start working. Your dose will likely need to be adjusted, so your doctor will need to take regular blood tests until your hormone levels are stable. Once they’re stable, you’ll probably have a blood test every 4 to 6 months. Eventually, you’ll just need annual tests. Talk to your doctor if you experience appetite or weight changes, insomnia, hair loss, sweating, or nervousness. These indicate your dose needs to be adjusted. Seek medical treatment if you experience severe symptoms, such as chest pain, rapid or irregular pulse, blurred or double vision, or severe headache. If you need to stop taking it for any reason, your doctor will need to decrease your dosage gradually. You’ll most likely need to take your medicine for the rest of your life. While you might need to switch up your morning routine, ensuring you’re as healthy as possible is worth it.

One-sentence summary -- Have your doctor test for hypothyroidism. Ask your doctor about possible drug interactions. Have your doctor monitor your thyroid hormone levels. Tell your doctor if you experience any side effects. Don’t stop taking levothyroxine without talking to your doctor.


If you were the one who ended the relationship, or if you said hurtful things to your ex, you need to explicitly apologize. Don’t try to skirt around the issues that lead to your breakup. Own up to your mistakes and take responsibility for ways in which you may have wronged or offended your ex. On the other hand, you will also need to forgive your ex for any emotional harm they may have done you. If you reconnect with your ex but still harbor resentment or bitterness, the relationship is bound to fail again. While you and your ex will need to discuss and somehow resolve core issues that lead to your prior breakup, there’s no point in dragging one another through the emotionally painful details. Focus on good things about your ex, and express these in conversation. For example, say things like:   “I was out with friends the other night, and I started thinking about how funny you are and how much I love the way out senses of humor work together.” It may help to take some time to process any stressful events or painful details of the past. Over time, your negative emotions will lose their strength, and you can gain a healthier perspective on the contributions of you and your ex to your relationship’s end. An objective third party, such as a couples therapist, can help you and your ex increase your chances of a successful relationship going forward. A counselor can help you move past difficult issues and communicate more effectively. They can also provide support so you don’t fall back into the same old habits that led to the end of your old relationship. If your ex agrees to rekindle the relationship, start making new memories, going on new dates, and re-forging your emotional connection. It can be tempting to bring old relationship baggage with you when reconciling with an ex, but don’t give in. It can be helpful even to form a couple of new friendships that you and your partner both enjoy. This will help you both get over the breakup by interacting with more people socially.
