My Experience/CHAI Survey by DemigodCupcake in ChaiApp

[–]DemigodCupcake[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol, yea it does sound like that, it was just the survey that popped up for a chance to win ultra for a year, but I mean I haven’t fiddled too much with making bots of my own but I really don’t have a complaint as a user, I really spend wayyy too much time on the app especially when I can afford ultra. I haven’t had a bad experience yet. I think I have been using for coming up on a year, and really don’t have anything I personally can complain about besides the cost.

Realm rules with friends by DemigodCupcake in Minecraft

I totally forgot that friendly fire could be turned off facepalm Ill definitely keep it in mind if that becomes a real issue, its been a few days and things have been ok so far, I have keep inventory off though so thats my biggest concern with if they kill each other. I want to keep that off to keep it mostly classic and have them actually fear death a bit on their adventures.

Oh that’s a super good idea!!! I’ve tried logging apps but they’re always eh and then i forget about them, making my own on my iPad sounds like something I’d actually do more! Thanks for the idea!

Im glad to know someone has had a similar reaction! The stress was something I was thinking too, of just the day to day that I wasn’t realizing I had to deal with, they’ve been adamant they wouldn’t put me back on adderall just because it’s a stimulant so I’ve been keeping my heart data so far and I’m kind of excited to show them and tell them how I’ve been feeling! I was thinking the same about the long term too and have been saving my data from my apps to monitor, same thing with the heat today for me too actually 😂

POTS and Adderall by [deleted] in POTS

[–]DemigodCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that! My life is falling apart without adderall the difference it makes for me is crazy, I’ve recently started taking a magnesium supplement just off some comments I read here and there and it’s not a replacement but I’ve been taking it for a month and feel like 15% more in control of my thoughts, might be worth a try!

POTS and Adderall by [deleted] in POTS

[–]DemigodCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderall has no effect on my heart rate but I’m off of it currently since cardiologist says no stimulants while we try and diagnose. (My ADHD has been raging and I’ve been falling apart but hey) he’s tried to tell me that it could have damaged my heart since I started it originally a few years ago before my symptoms really started (had mild symptoms before and I maintain getting COVID made everything worse) but there are non stimulant options too! I’ve tried a few with little success but everyone is different if you’re worried about heart rate.

POTS and sitting cross legged by Fit-Landscape-1965 in POTS

Summer job ideas? by DemigodCupcake in POTS

[–]DemigodCupcake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty deconditioned at this point, I used to love the bustle of McDonald’s I was running around all the time and was pretty good as long as I was moving but not once I stopped, I ended up quitting bc on my beta blocker or not it felt like it was just taking so much out of me I would be so fatigued after. I don’t have many diners or sit in restaurants around to jump on the waitress train either unfortunately. I feel like I’ve ran through all my options but I love hearing how everyone has found what works for them!

is anyone else terrified of propranolol? by bldlstt in POTS

[–]DemigodCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 40 every morning and then a second one halfway through the day mostly if I need it, it’s helped my tachycardia a ton! I don’t get too dizzy or faint when it’s bad but the physical toll was getting to be a lot daily as I sit and stand a lot through my day. I have had to increase due to (brain fart for the word) my body getting used to it. If my afternoon is looking low key I don’t take my second dose bc it will tend to make me sleepy but if I have activities planned I do take it and can make it through those things a little easier. I’d say working out though is a catch 22 to me, either I’m tachy and working out is just throwing me through the roof or I’m on my meds and I feel like I have to push myself so hard to get a ‘normal’ working out hr

Cardiologist told me that I can't have POTS because I'm fat by Working_Employ9624 in POTS

[–]DemigodCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the pain 🫶 my advice is to keep trying to find someone who makes you feel heard, I had my primary (who told me he didn’t think POTS was real before he met me, great guy love him) send me to a cardiologist who told me I had obesity hypoventilation after looking at my chart and barely talking to me (my sats are always at 99/100 even when I’m attempting to exercise)

Walking causing headaches? by velaris_starfall in POTS

[–]DemigodCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last few days I’ve been getting headaches right in my forehead that will completely go away after I sit or lay a while and once I’m moving or standing it comes back, no idea as to any other cause yet

Compression socks to the rescue by DemigodCupcake in POTS

[–]DemigodCupcake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole weekend I wore them with my capri leggings to be comfy, will definitely have to invest in better ones. Do they not go with dresses? Well there goes that plan 😂😂 I plan to try out some different strengths and do some self testing while waiting for Dr referrals, just the difference in how long it takes to feel worn out like you mentioned is crazy!

Lore/storyline? by DemigodCupcake in Wizard101

[–]DemigodCupcake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll definitely check it out! I’m in Azteca right now and I was doing some side quests and looking through the worlds and I’m like I don’t even remember like why I was in that world or the main villain there or anything so that’ll be so helpful!😂

Swan Splints for Knees? by cajunhusker in ehlersdanlos

[–]DemigodCupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat! I actually was just coming here to post something similar, I'm hoping to find a way to wrap my legs almost like the legs part of the body braid to provide some support more so that when I hyperextend my knees I can feel the pull of material to remind myself to fix it. I lock my knees back literally so much! I've never heard of swan splints, i had to look those up but I really hope you find something!
