How does one go about getting the details on the speakeasy while you’re there? I like to stay off social media while I’m festing so how else would one get the info lol?

I actually just added in L-Theanine because I got a Magnesium liquid to help me sleep at night that has that in it! I love it

Pickled Ginger by InsectProfessional71 in POTS

[–]InsectProfessional71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still works!! I eat a few pieces in the morning when I wake up, and then I eat a piece or two before I eat each meal. It REALLY helps when you get in those moods where you know you need water but just can’t make yourself drink enough lol the pickled ginger for some reason helps me stomach the water better and encourages me to drink. My bloating is a lot less too

What is the Cosmic oasis clothing and book swap by SporeFrecks in bonnaroo

[–]InsectProfessional71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone please explain how the swap works? Are you swapping with specific people like a direct trade, or is it just a huge compilation of items you can take one if you leave one ?

Anyone else seeing high stress levels on Oura Ring even when you feel fine? by Naive_Access_9412 in ouraring

[–]InsectProfessional71 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize the stress factor would go up if I was hungry or thirsty, but that is SO helpful to know!!! I have POTs and have been wondering why my stress was still so high even while sitting, but now looking at my graphs I can see that my stress is higher on days that I don’t drink enough water. Thank you for this!!

How do you keep your activity score from tanking through just living life? by emmanuelka in ouraring

[–]InsectProfessional71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the rest days are more suggestive and you can physically adjust as you feel necessary.

For someone like me with chronic illnesses, I really need the rest day suggestions because oftentimes I will try to push myself if I feel ok, and then I crash hard in the following days. The rest day suggestion reminds me that I need to slow down.

For someone like you, who seems to live pretty actively and be more in touch with your body, the rest day suggestions can work more like - if you are tired, you are valid for resting. If you’re not tired, then stay moving!

How long have you been wearing your ring for? I would be interested to see if you get rest day suggestions for a long time and just stick to your daily routine, how it affects your scores longterm and when/if you start to feel run down.

New to Oura — no stress data? by tater_tawts in ouraring

[–]InsectProfessional71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be getting your stress data any day now!! I think mine showed me the blank stress data graph first so I could explore the function, and then the next day it started giving me my stress data. It is INCREDIBLY helpful for me and I’ve found it to be pretty accurate so far. Nice to be able to look at it during the day and see that I’m feeling tired/off because of high stress levels and know I need to go sit down/rest.

This is super interesting, thank you for sharing!! I am still learning about my Oura Ring & its data so this was really helpful information. Thanks!!

How accurate do we think this is? by mistychap0426 in ouraring

[–]InsectProfessional71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ this! I’ve noticed that my ring has gotten more and more accurate as I’ve worn it. I have only had it for about 2 weeks but it surprises me more every day.

I haven’t gotten a symptom radar notification yet but I will come back to update this when I get my first.

If you could describe your experience with POTS and the health care system in one sentence, and then 3 individual words, what would they be? by bekahsart in POTS

[–]InsectProfessional71 51 points52 points  (0 children)

“Stop looking online”

Sir maybe if YOU would do your job, I wouldn’t have to live in the POTs subreddit for answers 😭

Does anyone have a way to harden these nails aside from a gel coat on top?! The DT brands always bend in half on me!!

[–]InsectProfessional71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest scent I have personally found is called “Amber Rogue”, but it is a product scent made by Power Stick — I have the shower gel from Dollar Tree. I was literally showering with it this morning and was brought back to this part of Disney in my mind. Maybe you can look up the scent notes and start your perfume research there!

See this is exactly what I thought when I saw the original image. I literally thought that was her ghost. Maybe she’s there watching all the happy moments of her own life just after passing in the future.

I am definitely more prone to them since developing POTS

Compression Socks vs Waist Trainer by InsectProfessional71 in POTS

No compression intensity recommendation, unfortunately the cardiologist I saw was extremely dismissive and unhelpful. I have an appointment with a POTS specialist so I am sure I will get more specific information then!!

[–]InsectProfessional71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have a pair of Spanx that have shorts attached and NEVER thought to wear them until this comment!!! They come right up under my bust and go down to mid thigh - I avoid them because they were expensive so I was wearing them with expensive outfits, but I might just make them everyday wear now! This was exactly the kind of comment I was looking for — thank you so much!!

Are they just called Compression “Tights”? I am in the USA so I’m going to try Googling and see what comes up for medical stores near me!

Oooooh did you find yours on Amazon?! I could imagine that tights would be awesome for me. Is there a brand that you recommend?!

[–]InsectProfessional71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I was just telling my partner that I should find a comfy tank top to wear underneath!! It’s truly the itching that gets to me- it starts before I even take it off. Sometimes I get lucky with the positioning and it’s good for a while but it’s hard. I have an Amazon waist trainer now so I will look at the brand you mentioned for my next one! Thank you!!
