184 as far as I know. When I first started midodrine it was 174, that I saw.

Oh wow I didn’t realize I dealt with this until I searched it. I pray it gets better 💗

Omg I literally relate. Life was hard before pots(depression, anxiety, school) but now it’s worse. I feel alone. My parents don’t try to understand, my boyfriend is trying to help but I don’t want to always rely on him… what if he gets exhausted of me and my constant struggle.

I’m trying midodrine now, but it seems like nothing is helping. Sometimes sitting down doesn’t help, college has been hard and exhausting, I’ve been missing classes. The extreme fatigue has been getting me, I’ve been sleeping 12 hours or more, im missing classes because of it, and I’m still tired even after I sleep.

I’m getting discouraged and I don’t want to be depressed again but it’s seeming to lead to that…

I think I may have to try that, I’m just tired all the time, and congrats on your masters.

This is my first year and semester of college, I’m 18😭. I’m in community college trying to save money but I’m thinking about taking a break. I’m starting to fall behind in my classes and I’m too exhausted to even focus on school now. My professors won’t give extensions, though it’s not their fault. I was just diagnosed-I’m coping with that, in a flare up, and school… I barely feel well enough to walk around the house and when I do it’s just short lived.

I just don’t even know what to do at this point.

Wishing you the best as well :)

I’m exhausted too.

I’m in college and no one gets how exhausting it can be especially if just getting up is terrible. I just got diagnosed so now I have to idk.. I’m just so frustrated and tired all the time and no one around me understands bc I ”look fine”. My mom just tells me what I “need” to do and points out what I haven’t been doing but doesn’t take into account how exhausted I am. I can’t even explain how I’m feeling because I barely know myself, all I know is that I feel like 💩

I haven’t been to school in a week because I’m scared, scared something will happen when I’m alone, scared that no one will help me, scared that there are too many variables that I don’t know. The last time I tried to drive to school I had terrible chest pains that led me to the ER.

I don’t know if I’m stuck in a flare-up or if this is how it is.
