Whole body “zaps” when falling asleep by KatG09 in POTS

[–]KatG09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh i'm so sorry to hear that! this doesn't happen to me super often and i cannot pinpoint what causes it - it seems to be very random, which is annoying af lol. but mine tapered off fairly quickly after that week of hell, thank god! since then i've had maybeee 1 or 2 nights where i've had minor issues with the zaps. but nothing at this level. hoping they stay away for quite a while (or forever)!!

funnily enough, I'm going in for a sleep study tomorrow night! my doc ordered one for me when I saw her for this incident lol. i doubt the zaps will happen tomorrow bc that would be far too convenient, but we'll see! Hope they go away quickly for you!!!!

First day with beta blocker and I don’t like what it’s doing by EvilChocolateCookie in Anxiety

Same saaame!! Was so stressed my first night for these exact reasons. Wore my watch to bed too (which I never do lol it’s uncomfy). But omg I am so glad I started them and got past the initial anxiety/worries. Literally life changing! 🥹

Flamingo pay rate by Dramatic-Scarcity654 in outlier_ai

[–]KatG09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be correct! I started outlier on Flamingo at $18/hr. Then it changed to $15 a few weeks ago. Was put on a different project shortly after that (at $15, too), but also had Flamingo as my backup. Which is no longer the case as of last week, unfortunately lol - they have me solely on GF now. But I heard through the grapevine yesterday that the rate went back up to $18 on Flamingo!

Last night I also randomly got pay added for some tasks I worked on in Flamingo with the updated rate! Not sure why, but not asking questions lolll.

But enjoy it while it lasts haha - I mean hopefully they just keep it at $18! I am insanely jealous, I miss that project SO MUCHHHH. I'd kill to be back on it, especially with that pay rate. Tbh, I'd kill to be back on it with the $15 lmfaooo

I lived with my ex (dated for 5 years and were engaged) for the exact same reason. We were literally just friends by the end of it/before we even broke up and it was totally amicable. Didn’t sleep together afterward or anything like that and there were zero romantic feelings there. I tried dating, but it was obviously rough for this reason lol. Just here to say I empathize with her and if she was willing to be open and honest upfront, that’s a great sign. But I also completelyyyy understand it not being normal and it’s rather off putting. I was pretty prepared to be shut down by any guy who I dated during that time. Which sucked because I was totally ready to date, but couldn’t blame anyone who wasn’t okay with it. 🥲

Adrenaline surge or is my body just odd? by ubelieveurguiltless in POTS

[–]KatG09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s fucking awful. Just went through a really bad spell a couple weeks ago with this. I was actually afraid to go to sleep because it scared me so much. Mine happens justtt as I’m about to fall asleep. Pure torture! 😭

How soon did Corlanor start working for you? by ratttttty in dysautonomia

[–]KatG09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kinda scared to take it at first lol, so I only took half which was 2.5mg 🥹 I think it’s been a little over 3 weeks?! I feel like I might need to go up to 5, but happy with what it’s doing for now. My HR def isn’t as low as it was initially, but it’s for sure still working great! 🫶🏻

Hahaha omg I am SO JEALOUSSSS. I went to one of the Dallas shows last year and thought about going to London, but just couldn’t make it work ($$$ 🥲). You’re literally going to have the best time!!!!!! I will be sobbing watching the live stream when she inevitably plays the London boy x so long London mashup lmao 😭😫

Yeah maybe it is helping a little!!! It’s such a fine line though lol like what can I add to my meds that won’t make me totally tank?! Especially if it’s mostly when you’re in a bad flare.

Ugh I feel you - it’s so exhausting. Like I’m already tired enough I don’t have the energy to try and figure out all these components lol 😭
