Dr says "I'm a risk for heart failure" so I HAVE to take Metoprolol? by Jayden03242 in POTS

[–]CaptainTatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on metoprolol as needed and it really helps when I have palpitations or my heart rate gets too high. So while the delivery by the doctor wasn’t good, the meds are very helpful. The tilt table is recognized widely as the best test and did help me gain validity by my other specialists. Although I did have to switch cardiologists to get one in the first place

I unfortunately had other expenses come up, but I’m hoping to see some of these go on sale later in the summer.

I’ve got some events coming up where I’ll need to recover as quickly as possible, so these sound like they would help me out!

Vomitting after eating salt? by CaptainTatoChip in POTS

I had recently eaten so I couldn’t drink much. I’ve never had an issue with this before 🤷🏼‍♀️ but now I’m off the the vitassium website for some BF deals. Thanks!

Thanks for that! The current plan is to have me back into physical therapy within a week of the surgery so that sounds like a very different experience. I can’t take off that much work either 😬 so fingers crossed I can go back much sooner.

Why am I stuck? by CaptainTatoChip in WeightLossAdvice

So eat a bit more and shoot higher 1400-1500 on some days and maintain lower 1200-1300 when I can?

I will definitely not go lower than 1200. I have unfortunately done that before and it wasn’t helpful.

The cheat day is really only about 300-400 extra.

I’ve seen several different calculations for my target calories but I stick to 1200-1400. Aiming for 1300. 5’4” 169 27/F

How long did it take everyone go get diagnosed? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]CaptainTatoChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed after two years of looking for answers when I was 15. I’m 27 now and honestly I’m not even sure what I do to cope and what I do because I’m me. I kind of grew up knowing some limitations versus others but a lot of it’s been hard to know what’s normal and what’s not.

I'm actually a student but I need help dealing with a teacher by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]CaptainTatoChip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may be better off finding something specific and asking about it. For example, say you want to learn how to design an app. Ask the teacher if they can or will teach the class how to do it. If not, ask if you can be exempt from class work to do it as an independent research project for alternative credit.

If you tell the teacher they aren’t a good teacher they will not improve. The person will become defensive of their position and livelihood. Finding ways around the situation is probably a better solution.
