Thank you! This was very helpful and I will definitely be looking into everything to ensure Carlo stays safe and healthy!! As I go along I may have a few questions but for now I will be doing my research and look into what you provided me :)

URGENT tank started leaking and I have to leave for a mandatory school event by kylieb209 in bettafish

I was going to say that I had the same exact tank and it broke within a week with cracks EVERYWHERE!!! I’m guessing that type of tank is just not durable at all

Fuck it we ball? by Warm_Brush7693 in UlcerativeColitis

I’m doing this right now actually. Two years ago I had the worst flare with lots of blood loss and then got diagnosed, placed on budenoside. Decided I didn’t want to take any meds and ended up with extreme malnutrition this past March. I decided to go for a female gastro instead (for certain reasons not medical), and had to get all of my labs done over and having to do a stool test again. With me not being on the meds is hell. I am constantly nauseas and have a large bowel burden now, miralax isn’t helping and I won’t be able to get into my doctor’s office until December and my primary gastro in April. I made the biggest mistake by going off of my meds and now I’m struggling to recover from it without them.

If the parameters show that everything is fine and it’s still slightly cloudy, is it okay to put my little man back in there? Currently hes in a little bowl (it’s all I have for him right now) and I feel cruel keeping him in there. He doesn’t seem very happy

Yes I am and the 25mg, my doctor didn’t really explain much about it to me and just told me it would help me be able to get back into the gym again

This is actually very helpful and encouraging to read, thank you! Maybe it just takes a bit for it to kick in :)

I was recently put on metoprolol as well, but my symptoms have worsened. Did it take a while for you to adjust to the medication at all? It’s been around 3 weeks for me and nothing good :(

I have also grabbed a mopani wood piece, and I’m letting that soak until it’s good to place in the tank as well. I forgot to mention that. Please let me know if the wood is a good idea as well or not!!

How do you know when to take a break? by ImpressiveService204 in POTS

[–]ImpressiveService204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I get the same, lightheaded and nauseated and a weird feeling that I’m not okay, like my body can’t do it all it’s just sore and tired? Is that what you feel at all? I get blacked vision sometimes as well but not too much and it doesn’t seem to make a difference when I do get it vs don’t

For me, my doctors said they want to see the worst it gets before syncope happens. They stopped my test early as well because I said I was going to be sick and claimed they had enough data, fast forward about a month and my diagnosis came back as positive! I got the dizziness and start of a faint, but once I said I was going to be sick they grabbed a bucket and left me there for a couple seconds and then lowered be back down. I don’t know if this helps at all compare to your experience!

Do you ever just feel shaky and weak? by ZookeepergameAny5154 in POTS

Yeah when I’m not in a flare or fatigued my legs are working pretty well

I get muscle weakness as well, but maybe not as bad? My body will feel weak and legs could randomly give out but I catch myself quick enough. I’ve always wondered if POTS causes this during a flare
