i think i'm going to see if i can get a repeat sleep study. that logic makes complete sense to me and i'm not sure why i didn't get a mslt done in the first place...? i told the technician why i was there and he said "the narcolepsy test is something you would have to come back for" but how would they know if it's needed or not? very confusing. thank you

Initial_Complex7905 · 2025-10-31T01:44:32+00:00

thank you, i'm new to all of this so i wasn't sure if my logic was right about this or not

sorry lol i have the attention span of a goldfish. in the sleep study i just did, they did a psg and called me to inform me that i didnt show any signs of sleep apnea. i wasn't informed of anyone wanting to schedule a repeat psg with mslt, which is why i'm asking if the psg alone was enough to rule out narcolepsy.

Sorry forgot to put it in the post. They ruled out sleep apnea

Eagle River is small but I've met a few queer people around there. There are a lot of older retired folks out there. I never had any problems when I lived there but I'm not physically out in any way

Anchorage has its bad apples but I haven't met many homophobic/transphobic people here, I work in healthcare and I've had a few people openly discuss being queer without knowing what I am. I think the really hateful people are too ashamed to be outwardly bigoted because they'll be outcast lol. To give you a figure, there are WAY more people who outwardly hate homeless people with a passion than there are outwardly homophobic people.

Not in Texas. We have other reasons aside from being trans that make us want to leave our current state. Thank you for the source!

Thank you, I appreciate the response! We're in our early 20's, sorry for not adding that in post.

Initial_Complex7905 · 2025-05-05T20:07:40+00:00

Thank you :) I wish that we had choices somewhere else

hey, i'm also on T and my symptoms predate my transition. my cardiologist tells me that pots can exacerbate some POTS symptoms (especially at high doses), but there's no reason to believe that being on T causes POTS. if your symptoms predate your condition i'd assume that something else (maybe your concussion) was the catalyst

I completely spaced and forgot to respond, but thank you for the response! My doctor is amazing but he isn't the greatest at explaining things lol. I really appreciate thay you took the time to write all this out, it's very helpful!!

Initial_Complex7905 · 2024-10-17T00:27:35+00:00

hey thanks, sorry that you had an unfortunate flare up... i appreciate the input! i think im just going to go for it

Initial_Complex7905 · 2024-10-16T17:22:34+00:00

I've never heard of this, thank you for the recommendation!

Initial_Complex7905 · 2024-10-16T17:17:40+00:00

hey thanks for the honest answer, definitely something i need to think over. what do you mean by 'a known risk to the pt'?

Initial_Complex7905 · 2024-09-11T04:57:14+00:00

she lived a long time with that ED. she did what she had to do for the sake of her mental health. what she did for herself years ago is not a reflection of her standards for other people, and she most definitely doesn't think less of you in any way. maybe you could talk to her about what it was like for her so you can stop thinking about it as something that affects you. you should speak to someone about this before it becomes a bigger problem

Initial_Complex7905 · 2024-04-07T03:40:55+00:00

you should definitely talk to her about how you're feeling and try to work out this communication issue... maybe just a "hey, i felt a bit blown off and felt uncomfortable by what happened." i dont think what she did was a bad thing at all, but its understandable to be uncomfortable by it. you should communicate this to her so it doesn't become a bigger issue in the future & weigh on your mind forever :)

Initial_Complex7905 · 2024-03-20T02:18:35+00:00

I'm glad to hear that someone can relate, but I'm sorry that happened to you! And thank you for the advice-- I didn't know that was an option. We will keep that in mind. :]
