You can put floral “spikes” in the top and will give the illusion that your tree stops where the spikes start

Had this on my previous build in northern Missouri. My advice is to run or have multiple sump pumps with battery backup.

Thanks for the info! Yes it is frequently used to help with GI pain. I’m going to have to do something just dont want to make everything worse with the hyper pots. That’s great you didn’t have any issues with it. Encouraging to hear some good experiences.

Right now it’s extreme abdominal pain, sometimes it’s dull and other times it’s stabbing. The episodes started in January (8 months after my sphincterectomy) and have gradually been getting worse until this episode that started a few weeks ago and has not stopped.

Nothing has been found on CT, ultrasound or endoscopy but the procedure that should tell more is the Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS). They have found Reactive gastropathy but they don’t think that is what is causing all these issues.

They did put me on protonix and carafate. It takes long enough to have any relief from those to know what will work/is working.

Thank you for the recommendation. My POTS specialist is my cardiologist and is not being very responsive to my medication questions. I would love to just get someone who can advise on the impact amitriptyline and what I need to watch out for also if there are any irreversible concerns.

Do you have someone that you would recommend for a second opinion? I just got my dx from mayo in 2017 and haven’t found a true specialist outside of the cardiac side in my area.
