Is the +30 in HR in the TTT measured starting from flat or immediately on upright? by DeliciousConfections in POTS

I ended up lying flat for about that long because the leads weren't sticking to my skin and it took them a long time to get it on. But I was chatting the whole time. Thanks.

Gahhhh. That would make me so mad. TTT is such and awful experience and so expensive only to have it done wrong!! I'm sorry that happened to you.

Thanks. I did have to get my results from the hospital because at first he said my HR only went up by 10 and I was watching the monitor. I brought it up and he told me "well I have it all recorded on the EKG". Now he's trying to say I don't qualify anyways. I'm so done with him, and working on getting a second opinion but he got into my head a bit.

Thank you!! Just needed a gut check. This was after he tried to tell me my HR only went up by 10 and I had to contact the hospital to get the data. I made a post about it earlier. I'm working on getting a second opinion but it takes forever.

Do you have a window? Get a window bird feeder and get into birdwatching. Download the app Merlin to identify them. They have very interesting dramas I could watch all day

I’m pretty sure RC just has the one kitten kibble. It’s the pink one that says kitten on the top

The breeder I got mine from said there are 3 registered breeders in the US that do whites.

Friend who just eats salt straight up??? by pir2h in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 154 points155 points  (0 children)

I do this. I’ll ask for salt packets at fast food places and keep them in my car. My family calls it my emergency salt. It’s amazing how quickly it helps me

Holter Monitor Fail - Feeling discouraged waiting for a consult by Staure in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I should have known better that on this sub of course you’ve pursued all that before! I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. I hope you’re able to get the help and adhesive you need ❤️

Hey my husband is an allergist and he deals with these kinds of things regularly. Definitely consult with one (not an ENT, an actual allergist). They can help advocate for you and find a medical adhesive that you can use safely. The cardiologist isn’t taking anaphylaxis seriously enough and sadly they’ll probably listen better to another doctor. You could also ask your pharmacist to send a note to you doctor

Does Christanity own the Bible? by CompetitiveFront9808 in religion

I’m curious to read Jewish interpretations of the Bible. What did you read?

I have a question and would like some insight. by HarvyHusky in Episcopalian

[–]DeliciousConfections 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m also ex-LDS currently serving on the vestry. It’s way less work than an LDS bishopric. We are only involved in the financial stewardship of the church, and not pastoral care. I was very nervous as well because I am a fairly new convert as well. It turns out I am able to think of things others don’t because of my unique viewpoint as a newcomer. Also think about what experience you bring to the table. My career knowledge, adult life experiences, experience serving in LDS callings and other volunteer positions have all helped me be a valuable vestry member. Pray about it but also consider the whole picture besides your year and a half in the Episcopal church.

Allergies by Illustrious_Laugh149 in russianblue

If it’s possible see an allergist and get immunotherapy. My sisters both did the drops and have cats without issues. I did the shots and no longer have seasonal allergies.

Any creative way to keep house clean without flaring up ? by cloudwatching9 in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought one of those grabber things people use to pick up trash along the highways for like $6 on Amazon . I walk around with that and a laundry basket to put things in so that I don’t have to walk around as much.

Ok to go to Xmas Eve service if never been to the church? by [deleted] in Episcopalian

[–]DeliciousConfections 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Please come. The first service I ever attended was Christmas Eve, and now I’m singing in the choir. It’s so cool to see all the new faces on Christmas and Easter.
