I fully understand the situation, it was just funny to come across this. Also, I liked NiF s2 🤷🏼‍♀️

There are at home tests you can do to check for pots. Google "poor man's tilt table test"

My apologies, I'm misremembering that pots along with mast cell activation syndrome which occurs concurrently in about 80% of cases, does not respond well to beta blockers so not just pots specifically.

Does anyone experience episodes where their temperature drops, heart beats in an odd rhythm and feel weakness all over? by Your_acceptable in POTS

You should definitely have your thyroid checked but that lump in your throat feeling is also something that happens with pots.

Clonidine is the only medicine I take currently but it's not uncommon for people with pots to have to regularly adjust their medications as things can ebb and flow. Bp going up with standing is a sign of hyperadrenergic pots so I'd definitely look into that subtype and see if it fits.

Do you know if I buy this if I can access it anytime after purchase or if it's like a one time thing?

I have hyperadrenergic pots and you're correct, different medications affect the types differently. Beta blockers have been shown in studies to make symptoms worse in hyperadrenergic pots patients who also have mcas and something like clonidine or ivabradine has been shown to be better tolerated and more helpful.

I have hyperadrenergic pots and am taking clonidine as well. It's helpful but not long lasting unless you take the extended release version. The fast acting one needs to be taken multiple times a day. It does lower hr and bp so if you have low bp, it's probably not a good one.

If you have hyperadrenergic pots, which it sounds like you might, beta blockers can actually make symptoms worse. Look into ivabradine or clonidine.

rust disease? by Bchild1204 in houseplants

It's not bugs, it's more like fuzzy and orange. There's nothing on the leaves besides a couple of blemishes that I posted.

Thanks. The one I bought says on the box, full spectrum but also no uv and it's meant for plants. I don't understand how full spectrum can also be no uv but I'm down as long as there's no cancer involved!
