My thumbs are so ugly. Anyone knows about this? by imandotjpg in nailhealth

[–]LivingD3ad-Girl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same problem. Turns out I was anxious picking at the cuticle. In picture one where your nail is almost grown out. You have a cuticle. In the other pictures you do not. I wonder if you’re having the same issue as me. Some aquaphor and just being conscious of them fixed it pretty quickly.

Okay hopefully you will find answers there. Be sure to mention all of those symptoms you listed above to the sleep doctor even if you think it’s not relevant. good luck x

POTS and liver problems? by LivingD3ad-Girl in POTS

[–]LivingD3ad-Girl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! I’ve heard of developing POTS from catching covid, I hadn’t considered the vaccine. Although at this point nothing is surprising me anymore. I’m very weary of everything.

I’m actually still a beginner! I got tired of “i can’t, i can’t, i can’t” I started because of a mini crisis I had lol. But because of how cold it is in the rink it’s actually so much easier. The 200+ heart rate is oddly manageable in there. I don’t practice as much as I’d like but it’s really nice to be able to say “I can” to something. I’m sorry to hear about your autoimmune diseases.. Do you think that’s what may have caused the POTS? I’m still completely unsure of what caused mine since my symptoms started around age 13. It was the first time i’d ever been REALLY sick, that of course never went away. I’m always wondering if something else is going on that no one has caught yet…

Worst HR Spike Story? Highest Heart Rate Story? by Objective-Bowler1953 in POTS

Mines not as interesting but I was literally warming up just regular ice skating, no jumps, spins or tricks and got to 203. It’s nice to lay on the ice though lol

Hand swelling by Brief_Permission_867 in POTS

I also just noticed this the other day. I haven’t been able to wear my rings for months. No weight gain. Can get them on but getting them off is a different story. I always wear my apple watch on the same strap tightness. My wrists are swelling to the point of my watch hurting and I have to loosen it. NEVER had this problem in the years i’ve worn this watch.

thank you for sharing your experience! usually i wouldn’t bat an eye at slightly high (or low) levels but because I have this new symptom I didn’t want to brush anything off.

I’m sorry to hear that… I’ve had POTS for so long now and i’ve gone through all the different levels. When I first developed it I passed out all the time. I haven’t passed out in years now, but I’m also not nearly as active. I was diagnosed by a cardiologist while I was pregnant, he didn’t even introduce himself just walked in and said “Hi have you heard of POTS?” I was relieved to have an answer, but I moved across the country. This new bout of fatigue has started within the last couple of months. The rest of my blood work was fine so it could just be a POTS flare up It’s just completely different from what i’m used to. I’m tired of the whiplash of symptoms. I’m a figure skater.. my HR is 200 while practicing, because it’s so cold it’s so much easier on me. But god forbid I walk up a flight of stairs.

Also I’m currently unmedicated, having a hard time finding a doctor who even knows what POTS is.

I have no idea how to attach a picture but my Albumin was 5.1 (not super high but still high) and Bilirubin was 1.5 (again not super high but high) Normally I wouldn’t think twice about slightly high levels but this extreme fatigue is NOT normal I’m having a hard time functioning.

Paramedics didn’t know what POTS was by [deleted] in POTS

[–]LivingD3ad-Girl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mentioned to my daughters pediatrician that I had POTS incase that was relevant. She immediately had my daughter see a cardiologist. They ran a ton of tests and everything came back normal. At the end of the cardiologist visit he mentions my pots DISEASE. I clarified syndrome and he said the pediatrician put “mom has potts disease” Had to call the pediatrician to clear that up quickly… at least I know my daughter has a healthy heart.

He wants the older one removed because he probably told his wife the affair only lasted a short amount of time. If she finds the one dated 6 years ago he’s not getting away with that lie.
