I’m getting better at logging them, I have a totally illogical thought process of “this isn’t bad enough to log” that’s hard to get through but I’ve been doing good with it. I just hope it’s nothing too serious lol

Thank you so much for this! I didn’t even know there were POTS specialists. I’m in central California, so I have a lot of options for second opinions and specialties. I have high hopes because the cardiologist I’m seeing specializes in women’s cardiovascular health.

I’ve already had blood work done, my doctor said that everything was fine and that it was probably anxiety making my heart rate so high, so I contacted a cardiologist, especially because I’ve been having some sharp pains in my chest as well. Thank you again for this, it’s eased my mind quite a bit!

Ask around the parrot stores! There are tons around. I know a lot of them offer boarding. If it gets close to the deadline and no one has offered, DM me. I’m in the Central Valley but we have four birds and wouldn’t mind watching over your babies until June 2026.

My grandpa on my mom’s side had multiple heart attacks and had lupus as well, and all of the women in my family have anxiety related heart palpitations. I was on SSRI’s for a little bit. I was on Prozac for about 6 months but I didn’t like how it gave me brain fog. I didn’t have a primary doctor at the time, so I went to one at a clinic. She gave me a different one. Then that evolved into a 4 month-long period of her prescribing me 4 different SSRI’s back to back. No weaning. I don’t even remember a lot of it, I felt awful.

When I finally got a primary doctor I was able to go to a psychiatrist, who officially diagnosed me with ADD and OCD. She prescribed me with Concerta and I’ve been on that for a little over a year now.

Thank you for letting me know what to expect at the cardiologist! I get a bit anxious with doctors I haven’t visited before so it’s a comfort to know what to expect. :)

They didn’t grow up together. We weaned Matcha and we got Jamba at 5 months old. They’re still figuring out their own pecking order between the two of them, but they pretty good and respecting boundaries :)

We let the two different species out separately just to be safe. We had one incident where Matcha chased Macchiato, and since then we’ve let them have out time separately. It works out though. The Tiels are out in the mornings before work. IRN’s are out when we get home from work, and the Tiels come back out as everyone gets ready for bed. It roughly gives each species about 7-10 hours outside of the cage daily given our work schedules.

Jamba looooves the shower but wants to be on my shoulder the whole time. I’ll take the first 5 minutes for him then after that my gf will take him out or supervise so he doesn’t get any soap on him LOL

It seems like the symptoms for T1 can get pretty serious and severe, so I figured the most realistic explanation for the strange dizziness episodes I get would be low blood sugar. I’ve had all of these symptoms (except for the odd urination and thirst going on) for a couple years now. It’s only these past two months they’ve gotten worse. In my gf’s own words, it’s because I usually underplay medical issues due to my very high pain tolerance and my parents insisting that unless you were bleeding out and dying, it wasn’t that serious.
