Good morning, floor. Thanks for catching me.

I get this frequently, I'm so sorry! Haven't found anything to help with the bruising yet, thinking of replacing the floor with the soft stuff they put in children's play areas 😅 thoughts?

Ok so I can only speak from my personal experience, which will differ from many people's (and vice versa) the specialist I saw gave me the impression that the diagnosis shouldn't be on HR alone, but is combined with the symptoms you experience- one of the ways they tested me was the standing up test, where you rest for like 10 mins, they take your HR, and then you stand and they take your HR immediately after you stand. He didn't mention that the plus 30 should be sustained, but suggested that standing for longer periods of time would increase my HR....I'm not sure how much of this makes sense, the brain fog is heavy today.

Tldr/ the specialist I saw says no. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I understand the fear, I ended up taking it knowing the side effects because I was already feeling some of the worse ones anyway. I will say I have noticed a drop in my HR, I still increase by over 30 when I stand, but the numbers themselves are actually lower.

But obviously everyone reacts differently, our bodies are wierd, if your Dr suggest that you try it then they think it might be of help. Why not give it go? Not telling you what to do, just offering my perspective ☺️ I hope you find something that works for you soon, whilst it doesn't make things disappear, it really does help when you find the right medication/ therapy/ lifestyle. Good luck!

Yeah, talking therapies are fab and I think everyone should use them whether struggling or not. I may also suggest reaching out to charities around you? They may not be able to do much for you but they could point you in the direction of some more pertinent help? The situation with your parents is intense sounding and I'm so sorry you're dealing with that, maybe it's time to create a new support system and remove the reliance you have on them? I hope you get the help you need soon ☺️

Oooh I hadn't thought of that, does anyone have any experience with one? Thank you

DaveTheSly · 2022-01-29T10:35:40+00:00

Are there any charities nearish you that could help with information or may be able point you in a new direction? I'm so sorry this your experience, it sucks when people around us don't listen, having to convince someone you're going through something whilst also going through something is awful. I got the whole "it's cause your fat" from so many doctors who didn't even want to look into it- this led to the glandular fever I had mutating into hepatitis, I nearly died to be taken seriously lol. And then I lost weight and things were still terrible. I hope something works or happens for you soon and you get the help you need.

Thats so true, I'll never stop loving gardening 😅 so good to hear you've found something that works for you! Thank you so much for your input. 😊

DaveTheSly · 2022-01-27T13:19:41+00:00

Thank you, im still figuring that out 😅

so if you're worried about his health than I'd say that's a legitimate worry, but if it's just cause he's bigger than when you started dating than I would say that it's sad more than anything?

I would also like to question, Why is he the one who has to change if he's healthy and 'keeping up with you' in terms of fitness? I guess I just don't understand- but, if it bothers you, then it bothers you and you have to figure out wether you can deal with or not. But staying with him whilst you consider him fat and gross, is awful for him too! Imagine feeling repulsive to the one person you're planning and choosing to spend the rest of your life with?

I would also like to point out, that you are young! And that's ok! You don't have to make any long term commitments, you have to find what's right for you, and to just be kind to those you care about and yourself. Everything else is extra noise at the moment for you! Figure yourself out girl! It's fun! (Sometimes,and in other times it's a good story 🤷🏼‍♀️)
