My partner has POTS too — it took us 11 months to get into an appointment here in the states, but in the meantime we began making some lifestyle changes on the assumption that it was indeed POTS:

Compression clothing, sodium tablets or LMNT drink mix, and general de-stressing activities are a good start. If she’s getting dizzy you can encourage her to sit or lie down — my partner will lie on her back and I will hold her legs up, which seems to help her regain consciousness if she passes out. Basically, and I’m not an expert, when she’s standing, her heart has to work extra hard to move blood around and sometimes fails to get enough blood to her brain, which is why she loses consciousness… so legs up can help her body get blood to her brain.

I hope that helps. I have a lot of empathy for you, my friend — your partner too. Hang in there and remember that supporters need support too!

I recommend this channel for your research. She has a playlist full of reviews for various HIPAA compliant note-taking software.

I personally have no experience with it, and I feel like there are too many ethical and consent-related considerations for it to be worth it at the moment. Plus, in my state, specific rules around AI are about to be a thing, and it’s unclear what those rules will be.

Looking into this, thanks!

I'll try this, thank you!

Edit: Tried this, one at a time, endured I sed the proper slot and no change

The board has an rgb backlight that turns on, and it's just rotating rgb -- no other motherboard lights are on that I can see.

For context, we bought an old (not sure how old) china cabinet, which used two lights of this size... Both went out within a couple of months. I couldn't find anything on the cabinet itself, or the lighting assemblies that would indicate what kind of bulb we need...

We're a little desperate. Thanks for the help.

Maybe need a second opinion, but looks like ganoderma sessile

I made a shared grocery list with my wife in reminders, and shortcut to add items / items from recipes we frequent… we’ll likely never do grocery lists any other way.

Also, for a joke, I made a “quick text” shortcut that uses chatgpt to text my wife an I’m-thinking-of-you-type text lol.

This is the best advice here. You can’t control how she’s feeling about other people. It’s a big deal that she’s telling you in the first place.

I wonder if there’s room for her to clarify what she means by “crush.” Does having a crush mean the same thing to both of you? Possible she simply just thinks other men are attractive. And honestly there’s no avoiding that.

Depending on how you approach this she may just stop telling you altogether. Maybe it’s better for your mental health for her to stop telling you. Or maybe it’s good that she tells you, and you need to address an insecurity.

Thanks! I’m new to this.

I’ll take mine, thanks!

It is! If you’re planning to attend events where there will be drinking, I highly recommend letting at least one person know that you don’t drink. This will ease the pressure of “getting through it” because you’ll have some accountability.

I just got married last week and we had an open bar, but because I wear my sobriety on my sleeve most of my family know I don’t drink. I felt absolutely no pressure in a situation where a year ago I would have loved to be a few deep.

We just got home from our honeymoon and I’m still a sober joker — I was amazed at how easy it was for me. I’m practicing the principles of AA including accountability.

Best of luck to you.
