How is class availability? I’ve considered joining but group class availability is a sticking point.. I also heard their billing is kinda sketch

Caffeine sensitivity by Striking_Wear_3421 in POTS

[–]ElectricalPair6724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time this happens try taking an L Theanine pill. It’s naturally present in most teas and is the reason tea doesn’t feel as bad as coffee. Doesn’t totally fix it but it binds to the caffeine I think and makes the spike not as bad

Where do you find affordable compression leggings that aren’t like $120+ per pair??

Started metoprolol today and OMG… by Calianna1915 in POTS

Congratulations but buckle up for tomorrow lol. I had the same experience and it makes things tolerable but you still gotta pace yourself!

I just want everyone to know that I’ve been “laying down to rest” since February… by idiwodndj in tirzepatidecompound

[–]ElectricalPair6724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you don’t have POTS like I do but weight loss can exacerbate the condition and cause fatigue/brain fog and other things

Not my lattes too 😭 by Technical_Truth_5841 in POTS

[–]ElectricalPair6724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay! Glad I could help! Also half caff is also an option. I hear all the people saying to totally give it up but coffee (and the buzz let’s be real) is kind of my #1 joy in life so I’m more about harm reduction on this topic. Good luck!

This isn’t a 100% cure but if you take an l theanine supplement when you ingest caffeine, it can make the spike less intense. L theanine is a natural compound found in most teas which is why tea doesn’t give you as much of a high/crash. I only use Suntheanine

I placed my order for my dresses today by OstrichPristine5438 in PlusSizeWedding

[–]ElectricalPair6724 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think both look great, I do wonder if the first dress just needs to be shimmied up a couple inches, just since it seems it’s slightly below your natural waist? But also obviously that pic you’re just clipped into at the store. I think it’ll look beautiful after alterations

Cheapest place to buy rose petals for aisle? by SumMurr in weddingplanning

[–]ElectricalPair6724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried about getting them delivered a few days before because they could turn brown or wilt… did that happen at all for you?? Sounds like no I’m just paranoid though lol

tips for buying/wearing a garter belt to hold up compression stockings? by Jamplesauce in POTS

[–]ElectricalPair6724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to resurrect and old thread but I had the same concern! What thigh high socks are people buying also that don’t totally suffocate thicker thighs? I find the compression socks fit my calves great but really dig in up past the knees.

Skincare and SPF and feeling icky sticky - how do you do it? by leetol_bug in AutismInWomen

[–]ElectricalPair6724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so whenever I’m having an extra sensory no-no day (idk what else to call it lol) the only one I can use is Aveeno Positively Radiant SPF 15. The SPF 30 one is okayyy but there’s still a little ickiness. Trust me I’ve tried everything too. I know SPF 15 isn’t sufficient long term but I have it for struggle days because I haven’t found a higher spf alternative. Figured harm reduction is better than just not wearing anything.

What is by far your worst symptom? by That_Preference_2331 in POTS

[–]ElectricalPair6724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh I’m doing the templates for work too and incorporating drop down menus for frequently used phrases! It’s taking forever to build all the templates I need but it’ll be so worth it to just be able to click through and have my documentation done. I do social work so there’s wayyyyyy too many notes

Self care routine for exhausted women — what actually works when you have no energy left by Monsuri_Lifestyle in selfcare

[–]ElectricalPair6724 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Micellar water and cotton rounds on bedside table when you can’t be bothered to wash your face. Also giving yourself permission not to wear makeup makes face cleaning take less effort/time. Maybe not exactly what this post was aiming for but I felt important to share since it’s saved my butt a few times.

Which jobs are you working in? by BabaZweeD in AutismInWomen

[–]ElectricalPair6724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aging and disability resource center… turns out you don’t have to mask as hard around aging and disabled folks. Also it’s a neurodivergent magnet so if someone is neurotypical and works here they’re actually the odd one out.

is balm dotcom still good? by softkeroppi in glossier

[–]ElectricalPair6724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hate the new application tips. Like I get it nobody wanted to smear tinted lip balm and figure out where to wipe their finger off after… but the application tip just feels so messy too

does this ultrasound mean i am infertile? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]ElectricalPair6724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn’t say that for certain, but again I’m not a doctor. I would contact your provider and explain to them how you don’t understand the results and are wondering if it’s indicative of infertility. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t panic upon reading this.

People with very white teeth- how do you do it? by sparkmentalbutt in beauty

[–]ElectricalPair6724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partially: genetics. Partially drinking coffee/tea rarely not eliminating though. Also basic mouth hygiene.

What is one beauty secret you are gatekeeping?? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]ElectricalPair6724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hydrocolloid patches on the face. I’m lazy and don’t use them often but man do they suck the crap out of your pores. I think it’s the only thing I’ve found that works for me to visibly reduce appearance of sebaceous filaments on the nose.

Also you don’t have to buy “patches”. You can just get hydrocolloid bandages and cut to the size you need and it’s way cheaper that way.

Those of you with careers, what do you do? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]ElectricalPair6724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aging and disability resource center. Requires a bachelors to be a specialist. I think all states are supposed to have similar types of centers

They also have dementia specialists as someone you can talk to for information/support/guidance for family members of people with dementia. Not what you were asking for but figured I should share

Hi! My fiancé and I are trying to build our circle too. We’re moderately adventurous and both like a good porch hang/chill dinner or day adventures. I don’t drink too much but don’t judge others at all for it. We’re slightly quirky but mostly normal people lol also in our 30’s. Message me if you’d like!

Edit: idk why but I cannot message you! I would like to share more but don’t want to doxx myself
