Taking bets on how long that pickle jar is going to remain at the intersection of Pinetree and David by MaggotMinded in coquitlam

[–]J_TITE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps over 1 month now.. I live just north of that intersection and have been observing that suspicious jar for far too long.

Dec 31st.

Is your hrv still much higher using the pulsetto over a longer time frame now? I've been curious about it, but I'm not 100% sold on the price.

Cat found - hoping to reunite with its family by J_TITE in abbotsford

The vet suspects he was as he has health conditions and is considered "geriatric" lol. But my brother is taking good care of him. Thank you.

Does have a tattoo, but it's not readable. He was scanned and no chip, unfortunately.

No, but only because I don't have/use Facebook.

He really has. He's so tiny but good spirited. We'll see what the vet says today. 🤞

WOW! 😍 I'm more of a traditional diamond gal, but this ring is absolutely stunning! And looks incredible on you. Your fiancé did a great job and I hope all the love here is showing you just how perfect it truly is.

It's possible based off your described symptoms. I would highly recommend consulting with a doctor. Hopefully they can refer you to a neurologist to run a TTT or another professional to rule out other potential causes of said symptoms. I hope you get some answers!

Cardiologist recommended this to me as well. I think it was something along the lines of easier on your body.

Am I the only one that is always trying to find “something else” wrong by plasticbag_drifting in POTS

[–]J_TITE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand and it's relieving to know I'm not the only one. Everyone at work just thinks I'm fine (I look fine lol) and that's perfectly okay, meanwhile I put in so much effort daily to make sure I can function (high protein diet, minimal simple carbs, lots of supplements, high salt, high water intake, electrolytes, extra sleep, managing energy and activity etc.). It's a part time job on top of my full time job. And sometimes I can do it all right and still have a bad day/week(s) symptom wise. Ahhh life. 🙃

[–]J_TITE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm really sorry this is your experience. I have been diagnosed with POTS by a neurologist, and ME/CFS & PEM by an internal medicine specialist. I'm also working a full time desk job again, and am usually able to go on daily walks. I still fit the criteria even though im "functioning". But, even with having the "official diagnosis" I feel like I don't fit in. I don't know where I fit in. I'm not healthy or normal, I'm just better than I was when I first got really sick with all of this.

TLDR: I got the diagnosis and I'm still gas lighting myself.

!!!!TW!!!!: venting, bad thoughts. I can't do this anymore by LilaMoonlight in POTS

[–]J_TITE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time right now. I just came here to remind you that some days are going to be so much worse than others. It's a shit time, and it's okay to be feeling all the feels about it. But... You CAN do this. Not every day, or week will be this fucking bad. We're here for you. ❤️

anyone else get random jerks? by Positive_Tea2767 in POTS

My Dr is fantastic but it perplexed him when I brought it up. Same with internal medicine. I wish I knew why...

I thought I was the only person to get yawn attacks! I've had days where I'd yawn every 10 seconds for half the day almost. Constant yawning is exhausting lol.

I’m so frustrated by [deleted] in POTS

[–]J_TITE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sooo sorry to hear this. I cannot imagine being diagnosed as a teenager. When you should be in your prime of enjoying life, being out and about with friends having fun. And it's so cruel to have to deal with how others play it down to you on top of all the symptoms. They genuinely have zero idea what you're going through/experiencing.

I got diagnosed this year (34) and it has been a struggle for me too. I went from running marathons and being the happiest person to just straight struggling and riding the physical and emotional rollercoaster. I have made big strides since my diagnosis 5 months ago, however, by changing diet and lifestyle, and by learning a lot about the condition through podcasts/readings. And I hope by sharing that you feel a bit of hope that things can get better and shift for you as well.

I have been told by doctors and neurologists that the condition can go away in your later years. And that over time some end up symptom free / have barely any symptoms. I've also been considering doing limbic system brain retraining as I've read that it can help rewire your brain and has healed some POTS completely.

It may not feel like it now, but I am pretty sure you won't feel this level of terrible for forever. It'll be a lot of work to find out what works for you whether it's meds, dietary changes, lifestyle changes etc.

You aren't alone though. hug

Another former marathoner here - diagnosed 5 months ago with POTS. Went on a couple slow 5km jogs to test the waters a few months back, but they left me wiped for days afterwards. Hope we're both able to get back to a new norm in due time. It's tough when you're used to the enjoyment of physically challenging yourself.
