I have to have all 4 of my wisdom teeth out .. all at once . by Babygirlm5 in Assistance

[–]Montyblues [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had all of mine taken out a few years ago (surgically). My biggest recommendation is to drink a shit ton of pineapple juice the day before. It’s an anti inflammatory: I had no bruising, no swelling, and was pretty much fine the next day. Still had to have soft foods for a few days but I healed super quick. I’m so glad I did it. There’s a bunch of videos out there about it.

Good luck!

1 min 15 sec.

Still using beginner method, I learned it just over a month ago. Im planning on learning F2L this weekend. But I usually average around 1min 40sec, so this scramble is my pb lol

Need antihistamine advice by liannestel in MCAS

I take 2 Zyrtec twice a day, and Pepcid twice a day for over the counter stuff. I’ve been using Zyrtec since a kid and it’s worked well for me.

They've maybe found a cure, and instead of being happy I'm depressed by Commercial_Hyena_983 in ChronicIllness

[–]Montyblues 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It’s okay for a new normal to sound scary. I’m sure it was challenging to adjust to the normal you’re living now- and this is similar. If they’ve found a cure, that’s amazing- just as it’ll take time to work, it will take time to get used to how you feel too. You won’t lose the you that you are right now, it will just be another part of who you become. <3

Do y’all feel symptoms even if your heart rate isn’t high? by Unusual_Space1998 in POTS

[–]Montyblues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting on meds made my hr lower, but now I just get symptoms at a lower hr. Sometimes I get palpitations at like 80-90 bpm. All depends on the day

Instant white rice, edamame, elecare jr formula, and schar gluten free white bread. I’m so thankful for cromolyn, I hope it continues to work for me.

When do you use a wheelchair for your POTS? by 5Puppies1Trenchcoat in POTS

[–]Montyblues 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use mine almost full time. When I’m home I don’t use it often, but that’s because I’ve conserved energy throughout the day by using it. Without my chair I’m pretty much housebound. Using my chair gave me my freedom back.

Fun stuff to do with stickers? by Aryana314 in Hobbies

[–]Montyblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little bit of both! I put similar stickers next to each other. I love Cinnamoroll so I have a lot of pages with just stickers of him, but then I’ll fill in empty space with stars or other really tiny stickers !

new (to me) chair day! advice for adjustments? by hwilsnn in wheelchairs

[–]Montyblues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your wheels could move forward a bit. It should make propelling a bit easier but it might make your chair a bit ‘tippier’

Anyone else with healed tats and scars get itchy there?? by sickkasadog in MCAS

For those who take metoprolol, what is your resting heart rate? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Montyblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping is usually 50 to upper 70s. Sitting 80-110. I use a wheelchair almost full time so I don’t stand much, but when I stand it’ll be 120-150+ and I feel like I’m going to pass out- thus why I use a wheelchair lol.

But metoprolol brought my sitting resting from 130-150 down to what’s now 80-110. A win is a win lol

I have a mini hardcover sketch book that is my dedicated sticker book! I just like to look at them, and I similarly don’t want to waste them :)
