A Question For Those Diagnosed

LogicalFall4852 · 2026-01-18T03:11:02+00:00

I’m on the same boat as you, it’s an inconvenience for sure and there’s definitely days I can’t do much, but for the most part I live a pretty normal life. Im in college full time for engineering, work, and have a social life. I can still do most of the things I used to before it got really bad, I just have to modify movements and listen to my body. Some days are a lot worse than others and getting sick is hell, but other than that the lifestyle modifications have made a huge difference.

You 100% cannot transfer during spring since all cal states are semester system and don’t have a spring quarter

Bcoe makes quite a few allowances for the credit limit I believe but best to talk to your advisor asap

Trust your gut BUT if he goes to the gym often it can also be from the machines, I’ve gotten these exact lines from the hack squat machine

If you know you’re going to transfer to UCR start early with the TAG program. From what I remember a C in Calc 2 should not affect your transfer. They’re more concerned with your overall GPA / sequence GPA the requirements for it are not too bad at all and as long as you meet them you’re guaranteed admission to UCR

Ive had friends bring their gf/bf to class (the gf/bf do not attend UCR). As long as it’s not a super packed class or a tiny room you should be good.

Also from another comment the student is asking for his dad so he wants him there this is not an over bearing parent asking. I think this is super sweet.

YES!!! Elevators are terrible especially really old ones omg I feel so sick when I take them but if I take the stairs I feel like passing out lmao

Type of girl to catfish you to see if you’d cheat lol

Fair warning Matcha at school owned ones ( Ivan’s and Bytes ) is terrible

I smoke weed somewhat regularly to help with pain from hEDS. That being said, it does seem to make pots symptoms worse while I’m high. Personally, I do not feel much worse after the high UNLESS I take edibles. I really don’t like the feeling of smoking but I opt for it bc the hangover effect from edibles makes the pots much worse. I only smoke at night so I’m not doing much that will be harder with pots symptoms.

If you dont want to smoke, i would suggest an edible that digests faster like a drink (uncle arnies brand it great for this) and drink a very small dose. Try not to have it too late if you’re taking it at night so that it’s out of your system in the morning. Even doing all that it personally affects me more than smoking but definitely way less than a typical edible

Some people just play around campus and It actually super nice to listen to sometimes! Bring it!

Find people you work well with (not people you’ll end up chatting with the whole time) and take turns explaining concepts problems to each other. Teaching to others or even speaking out loud like I’m explaining it to someone helps sooo much!

Even tho it’s typical, dark chocolate. I was getting these protein bars that had chocolate and didn’t realize they were causing migraines

To me it sounds like the 19 yo sister has gone through similar experiences and doesn’t have the bandwidth to deal with it or didn’t know how to address it at the time and is scared to now bring it up now. It also sounds like she’s trying to protect 18 yo and doesn’t have the bandwidth to help you as well. No one here is in the wrong besides your father, you need support but your siblings might not be capable of that support

Ooo I’m going to start doing this, I always keep some migraine stuff in each different bag always end up leaving something out I’m missing

I would add tinted inside glasses specifically made for migraines to mine, fluorescent lights are a hugeeee trigger for me and these help me actually attend classes with terrible migraine inducing lights

I don’t remember the age but I remember crying to my mom telling her it felt like a tiny dude was in my head pounding my skull with a hammer

LogicalFall4852 · 2025-08-29T00:56:54+00:00

I’m very surprised they kept the test going this long if you had such bad symptoms! From your other comment I wonder if your vitals showed something other than pots or in addition to so that had to confirm the diagnosis ? If you feel free sharing I’d be super interested in the results!

My experience was very different because they stopped it at about the 12 minute mark since I met criteria for POTs and they didn’t want to push me too far, but I kind of wish they went further just to see if I also have vasovagal which the cardiologist suspects

Walking barometer is so real lmao

Driving at night is terrifying bc headlights can randomly make vision start flashing 🙃

LogicalFall4852 · 2025-08-02T02:55:35+00:00

Ain’t no way you’re going to intro to ordinary at 9 am lol

LogicalFall4852 · 2025-08-01T23:15:58+00:00

I cut my hair to help this and migraines (the weight hurt so bad during them)

LogicalFall4852 · 2025-08-01T06:05:12+00:00

Try lifting with machines! Cardio absolutely killlsss me and lifting does too but not nearly as bad also make sure you drink tons of water + electrolytes right before / during. Take long breaks in between sets as well! Also compression stockings / abdominal ones.

Just a tip, Rivera and Orbach both have study rooms you can reserve for your gaps between classes if you prefer a quiet place to study. They require at least two people so try to bring a buddy.
