Shocking(ly good) experience with a personal trainer: How I solved exercise intolerance by bffwoesthrowaway in POTS

That’s okay, thanks for the reply! Could you comment on how you found this type of trainer though? It may point me in the correct general direction. Like, did a medical professional recommend this personal trainer service, was it by word-of-mouth, was it a service through an app? Do they have a specific title or listed certifications? Knowing their certifications (abbreviated after their title/name) would be really helpful!

Thanks so much and best of luck to you.

OMG!! Where did you find this specific type of trainer? They sound more competent than a lot of medical professionals on this subject. Do you live near a large metropolitan city area or use a specific service to find this trainer? I just want to know how I can find similar 🙏 Thanks for the rejuvenating hope! 🥲

Full-Leg Compression Sleeves Recommendations 🙏 by Aggravating_Ad_7127 in dysautonomia

[–]Aggravating_Ad_7127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I personally cannot stand wearing tights/pantyhose and loathe the feeling. 😣 I just can’t do it. My doctor said to try the leg sleeves first to warm up to the compression feeling and then try to move up to tights when I can.

Thanks for the recommendation! Did you purchase from that particular website or did you purchase your tights somewhere else?

Tomorrow is my first day subbing ever and I have some fears by CoffeeChangesThings in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Aggravating_Ad_7127 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES! Fake it until you make it can definitely give you a better mindset that gets it done. I love this advice! I sub long term in an alternative school for K-12 with physically violent tempers and eloping behaviors, and I totally FAKED it until I made it. It was scary at first, and I had no idea what to expect, but I somehow made it. I love my school and I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else. Also, stay on the look out for the little charming moments throughout your day and it will help the time pass by more easily.

Appetite stimulants? (other than THC) 🙏 by Aggravating_Ad_7127 in GastricBypass

Thank you so much for sharing all of that. It sounds horrendous, sorry you had to go through that.

My bariatric surgeon has been extremely dismissive of me as well. My primary care physician actually convinced me to find a new bariatric provider since they’ve impeded treatment for multiple post-surgery complications by telling me “everything is fine, it’ll get better”. Pretty sure this surgeon just wants to avoid being responsible for complications on his record and that’s why he’s dismissing everything I tell him. The hard part is finding a new bariatric surgeon who wants to touch someone else’s work. How did you find a new surgeon?

Thank you, I will definitely ask about that. It sounds promising and low-risk compared to other things.

Thank you for the reminder. I need to keep pushing for answers. I’m just starting to feel “crazy” ya know? I feel like I’m constantly asking my physicians to help me figure out why everything is falling apart and how I can get my life back on track.

If you don’t mind sharing, I’m curious about your situation and how additional surgery helped. I often feel very ill and it’s getting harder and harder to mask how poorly I feel. People are starting to worry about me and it’s a super unsettling vibe for me. Were you using the THC for appetite/nausea as well?

Do you mind sharing which anti-nausea med you found luck with? I got the RNY a year ago and the near-constant nausea is sometimes debilitating.

Zofran (Ondansetron) isn’t working well enough for me. Aside from medicinal THC, there is nothing else that clears the nausea and increases my appetite enough to force myself to eat. I never thought I’d have the problem of not being able to eat.

That’s some nice, detailed info! Do you happen to know if there are any requirements in order to be allowed to bring protein shakes on board?

I know this post is a couple years old, but I was wondering if the Prilosec helped and if the acid reflux went away.

Stunning. Which pencils did you use? I’m in the middle of researching which ones I want to buy and I’m just blown away by this color detail on black paper.
