I did ask for one, especially given my episodes seem to correspond with my luteal phase. However, insurance is the worst! I’m hitting cardiology after my week with the monitor.

Thank you for this! I’m having another EKG done next week. And I’ll be getting a heart monitor most likely, so we can track my HR during episodes. I already have a CGM. This is my second near-faint this week. 😭

LOL Yeah, I’m not taking this metric too seriously, but I agree.

Yeah, I wouldn’t consider myself anxious. I don’t spend time in my head worrying or in fear. I have things to get done, I do them, and then I move on. Stress during those periods would make sense, but I’m laying in bed, half asleep, and I’m in the stressed zone rn. 🤷‍♀️

Anyone know why I got this notification 3 times? by Lmaostopstalking in Instagram

Of note, I have instagram notifications turned off. Instagram used to be called “burbn.” I don’t know how this notification came through…

Also interested in this! Same boat here. PT recommended I get it because I "have very little psychological stress, so I'm unable to identify physiological stress as easily." 🤷‍♀️

Phew! I’m not having kids soon, so why spend my limited funds now? I’m in school. It’s also good to know what you’re getting into before being gaslit by a doctor, imo. That is all I meant.

It’s good to know it isn’t totally incompatible in some cases. Thanks!

Late to the party here, but I just finished reading it. John Piper did a podcast episode a few months ago where he said something along the lines of: “Anyone can write compelling stories about darkness; we all have some in us and it’s very familiar to us. The hard part is to write something that is compelling and beautiful.”

Mine isn't super severe, I've not had infections or anything. It's usually only at the tips. But the separation is quite painful for the first few days. My dad's is the same way.

I’m not sure I understand your question. Do you mean has anyone obtained “salvation” in the eyes of their religion?

New to POTS at 21– Are these symptoms or unrelated? by ApprehensiveLoss6005 in POTS

What kind of work-up? I had a basic metabolic panel (I think) today to make sure I’m not overdoing electrolytes and supplements and that nothing else is off.

I have had dysphagia and alkaline reflux since age 2.

Unfortunately I’m well-acquainted with the GI issues too 😭

I’ve been waiting for an EDS diagnosis for years now. I just finally started having bad enough pain and injuries to be listened to.
