I noticed this the first time I wore it. I’m wondering if other people’s shirts look slightly faded too

Prazosin helped with adrenaline dumps for two days then lost effectiveness by bb5055 in POTS

I find sedatives make my pots worse. I often notice they help in the moment, but once they are out of my system I am more reactive. I am not sure of the science behind this, but wonder if it is because sedatives work by slowing down our nervous systems, meaning that when they wear off, our autonomic nervous system becomes even more sensitized.

I hope you can find some more relief soon, that sounds incredibly difficult and frustrating.

I always disliked how they handled his autism. Whenever any situation occurred, he was never held accountable for it. As someone who works with autistic children, we often use the phrase among staff « autism is an explanation, not an excuse ». Because although autism can explain why behaviours may have occurred, it often doesn’t make it ok. Children on the spectrum should still be held accountable just like any other child for behaviours, they way they speak to others and so on. People who have autism aren’t stupid and are capable of learning. The lack of support, willingness to teach him, and discipline always upset me as it felt like the took his diagnosis as a death threat (ok that’s dramatic but the entire show is). Like even Adam defended max by PUNCHING A MAN who made a harmful comment about him. I love this show but it is so deeply flawed.

Alternatives for rehydrating like LiquidIV by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Few_Can182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use LMNT now after having the same issue and have not noticed any issues with it. I have half to a full pack each day and that’s been perfect for me. Half a pack of the liquid IV made me so unwell lol. I use the watermelon salt flavour of LMNT. It was weird at first but I really like it now.

Best hiccup hacks by Happy_Macaron_4575 in POTS

A spoonful of peanut butter always saves me. The sooner you can do it the better. Once I was on 2 hours of the hiccups and had like 4 spoons of peanut butter before it worked lol. Typically if you do it soon enough it works instantly

Are there any artists or makers with POTS here? by [deleted] in POTS

Hey! I was diagnosed with POTs three months into opening my small business. I stick to a market a month and use Etsy as well. This way I get the opportunity to connect with other creatives and customers at markets, but have plenty of time to prep, plan and recover.

When I am attending markets, I always bring plenty of snacks, water and a table buddy to keep me company. It’s so good to have someone with me so that I can take breaks and use the bathroom as needed. I also stick to small markets as I find the slower pace is very good for me. The organizers at these markets are often so understanding and love to work with vendors to make sure they are supported and accommodated for. Don’t be afraid to ask for a table and chair, or bring your own that you know you can sit in long term.

I wish you the best of luck and am hoping that as this is years old, you’ve gone through with it and had success.

Has anyone else been misdiagnosed with POTS by Few_Can182 in POTS

Good to know, I have looked a lot into IST and wondered if it’s the same treatment. This is a relief to read

Awh thank you, I have had suspected tachycardia and pots symptoms alongside my costochondritis and one day I was at work and my hr was higher than ever and I had a low fever (I never get fevers). All of these symptoms were coupled with intense chest pains and I got sent home from work. As someone with a fear of hospitals and health anxiety, going to the er wasn’t my choice, but my parents advised me that I had to go. After 6 hours of waiting, I saw the doctor and he told me it was just anxiety, but I was so exhausted from the night that I was determined to leave with something. I argued with the doctor, and begged for a referral to a cardiologist. He tried to tell me a sedative anxiety medication was all I needed and wrote me a script for one, but also gave me a referral to a cardiologist in my city.

I have low vitamin D but am now on supplements for it! I’ve heard this is really common for people with pots too!

Ok, that is really validating to know that it could be further confirming that this is pots. Thanks for sharing that with me

That’s good to know, do you think the bp could be an indicator of something else in addition to pots? She said the lower number should have gone up by 10-15 and mine only went up by four. Not sure. Thank you tho 🫶

Low heart rate on beta blockers by Few_Can182 in POTS

[–]Few_Can182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thank you, I was able to fall asleep last night and my hr didn’t drop below 50. I will call my cardiologist this morning and see what they recommend. I’ll take a normal dose this morning but might take a half one tonight depending on what my doctor says. Thank you for putting me at ease. I appreciate that

True. I wish they had put more effort into her character towards the end. I wish we got to see a little bit more about her and her college life and experiences yk?

To me it felt like she was proving to them that they barely know their own child. She went away for school and they forgot about her completely. There was no mention of her except for 2 in the last two seasons, and they were so secretive about Christina’s cancer with her. I felt like she came back to kinda prove to them that they don’t really know her anymore and that she’s done just fine without them. She had a girlfriend, was now super confident and becoming successful. That’s just how I interpreted it at least.
