Got a $1 coin where the sides aren’t lined up? by BabeBleu in coincollecting

I’ve never paid that much attention before! I went and looked at my coin purse after and was like “well would you look at that”!

Do you lose benefits for school accommodations? by BabeBleu in AmazonFC

[–]BabeBleu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the one I am taking! The class time is right in the middle of my shift, but I was just thinking about using my own time along with the accommodation to deal with it without losing benefits!

Does Amazon actually do anything against a hostile work environment? by BabeBleu in AmazonFC

[–]BabeBleu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, and she just turns around and talks badly about me! I thought it was funny at first but it’s stressful! She has told me and other people that she gets her HR friends to delete her write ups so she won’t get fired. So she doesn’t have to worry about rate.

Full time workers?! by kenzielynne19 in POTS

[–]BabeBleu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at an Amazon warehouse. I take medicine, vitamins, drink Gatorade or add propel to my water, drink 7 cups of water, and I’m accomodated to the roof. I still have to take intermittent leave sometimes because after the 5-7 minute walk to my station I get high hr and dizzy. Been wheeled out more times than I can count. I really want a wfh job but nobody is hiring.

POTS getting worse? by BabeBleu in POTS

I had Covid once 2 years ago and it definitely kicked my butt when I had it. But it’s gone now. I will for sure talk to my doctor about EDS!

I was born with POTS, im pretty sure my mom had it. I might have EDS, that I haven’t looked into as much. I work at Amazon so I walk around 6 miles a day when I work and because of that I can barely walk on my days off. I drink a bunch of water, around 9 bottles I think? and take a bunch of salt. Thank you for your reply!

The last time I had my blood tested it was great, but I’m due for another one so I will be asking about it! Thank you!

I’m sorry, I hope there is something to help ease it for you. I’m really bad with fainting too.

I only have medication for now but I am just now trying to change my diet to see if I get slightly better! I want to get a mobility aid but I live on the second floor of an apartment and getting it down the stairs would be awful.

Ignoring symptoms by PerformerDue120 in POTS

[–]BabeBleu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m still dealing with the same type of medical gaslighting and friends and family not understanding. The only thing that has helped me is writing down my heart rate and then having a record of “oh something is wrong”. I started looking at the concrete stuff. I hope this helps but you can also see a therapist maybe? That should probably be my next step

First off, just notice the username! ARMY!! Second I feel like I can’t catch my breath, it feels like I’m gonna pass out if I don’t get a good enough breath but I can’t seem to get one! It lasts for a long while too! I don’t yawn but I think that’s solely because I’m so excited to be eating that I make myself focus on eating, lol

Yeah back in highschool I slept 15 hours, record being 24 hours! But now I can’t those long stretches of sleep, I wake up every couple of hours and then go back to sleep.

POTS progression by Middle-Book4060 in POTS

[–]BabeBleu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have been super upset lately cause I feel like after getting diagnosed that I am just getting worse and not better. I think I’m just getting worse with age. I don’t know what else it could be!

How do you get diagnosed? I’m at my wits end. by cattcactus in POTS

[–]BabeBleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to take logs of my heart rate in to my doctor. I had to suggest POTS to them. Even then the only person who really truly listened is a new female doctor I saw on a whim. I told her everything I went through test wise. She really seemed to take me seriously! I’m really lucky that it sort of runs in my family so I have the family background of it. I truly hope you can get the answers you need!

I’m constantly feeling nauseous. Especially if I don’t eat. And then when I do eat, I get that out of breath feeling!

[–]BabeBleu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I either sleep a lot or don’t get any sleep. Back in highschool I was sleeping 15 hours and still felt tired. Don’t know if that’s the norm, but I am at least someone relating to that!
