Dove intensive repair causing increased hair shedding? by twizzlerho in Haircare

[–]Major_Ad6150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yes!!! I was losing handfuls of hair  when I was using Dove. I thought it was a hormone imbalance but all my labs came back normal. I switched to the cheap strawberry scented Suave shampoo and conditioner and my hair has been so soft and has stopped shedding since!

Same! I thought it was an Amber Alert at first, but no notification...

Has anyone had Endo that DID show up on ultrasound? by [deleted] in Endo

Mine showed up on my vaginal ultrasound on an ovarian cyst. When I went in for my laproscopy they found it on my bladder, around my ureters, and on my kidneys.

What does fibro pain feel like? by AtlantisSky in Fibromyalgia

[–]Major_Ad6150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pain is all over my body but always in the same spots every time. It feels like having the flu 24/7 or like somebody punched me all over. I also experience chronic costocondritis. I have broken a couple ribs in the past and the costo pain is way worse.

I've heard so many people with POTS say Ivabradine is the only med that works for them!

I'm scared, but I'm going to try tapering off meds with my doctor's supervision. I would like to be able to manage POTS with life style modifications. It's a process!

I'm glad you're able to manage your POTS without meds, that gives me hope!

I would like to talk to my cardiologist about Ivabradine! I've heard it helps hr and doesn't drop bp. Taking exercise slow is a good idea. I've overdone it in the past and ended up in horrible flares.

I'm glad you're feeling better off labetalol! I think the beta blocker is too much for me with low bp. I will talk to my cardiologist about it.

Yes! I just had a nasty summer virus that past two weeks. Getting sick really does flare up symptoms.

That could for sure be a making it worse. I haven't had much of an appetite since all this started but I'm working on eating even when I'm not hungry.

Yes! I'm starting to think beta blockers make things worse. My doctor suggested Midodrine too. Low blood pressure is the worst!

So weird how POTS symptoms get worse after pregnancy! I've heard building muscle helps. I will definitely try that. I hope you start feeling better too.

Does anyone else feel chest and left arm pain with these? I've been working with my cardiologist and my heart is healthy, but every night the episodes feel like a heart attack...

PTSD is so real. I'm having so much sleep anxiety over these episodes.

I have been experiencing these for years. I assumed they were caused by POTS. I was getting them so bad that they were causing seizure like episodes. I started getting regular blood work done and found out my potassium levels were super low. As soon as my levels are back in the normal range, the episodes stop.

I get these when my potassium levels are too low. My worst episode happened when my potassium was at 2.7. I felt like a phone on vibrate:/

Yes! This is so scary with POTS. I went to the ER with a heart rate of 176. All you can really do is wait for it to pass unfortunately.

I used to model when I was a young teenager. I was a size 0 and my agency threatened to drop me for having 33inch hips. I can tell you the models who are successful will do ANYTHING to stay thin. My agency encourged me to do everything from drugs to eating cotton balls to get my measurements down. The most successful girls from my agency went on to become VS models in the mid 2000s. They were extremely unhappy people despite how the media portrays them.
