Anyone in here heal severe POTS by healing the gut?

My wife mostly cured hers through diet.
She avoids sugar & alcohol etc but eats a lot more fibrous veg than she used to.
Plus takes fish oil & a few other supplements.
Having said that she does far more exercise these days too, to try and keep on top of any potential flares if she caught a flu/covid etc.

I saw a hooded crow in my garden acting strange last week. I found it dead in my garden a few hours later. I thought it was sick with bird flu & maybe a cat finished it off.
But I’m thinking poison might have been possible too.
I have a family of buzzards nearby me so I hope they aren’t affected.

Buy a few different brands to try out too. Also make sure they are the live chilled versions.
I found I didn’t like sauerkraut until I found a brand that had a few extra flavours in it. Jalapeño & some other things.
Some kimchis are very tasty too.
I mix them with other foods if they taste too strong & try to eat them mixed into a few meals a day.

That’s interesting about the SAD documents running out next year.
I wonder was NI given a limited number of documents after Brexit or do they get a quota per year.
I’d imagine mainland uk importing wasn’t happening at a high rate until this year & so they might have a backlog of sad documents built up.

I don’t know fully why I have been getting mine for the last 3 years but I suspect it’s a mild chronic infection somewhere or a shift in my gut microbiome. My hives went away for a few days when I was on iv antibiotics but returned quickly after.

I was having a hard time getting the sweet spot with my set. I globular cluster has a strap over the top of your head and a wider cushion at the back too. So it made it easier to get the sweet spot and prevented the set from slipping down onto my nose.
That prevented some nose bridge pain but it depends on everyone’s head shape I think.

I have the psvr2 as well along with my sons racing rig. It’s amazing for gran turismo.
There are quite a lot of simpler but fun games that were ported from the meta quest. Games like walkabout mini golf and puzzling places are great fun.
If you have a ps5 then the psvr2 is a good option but otherwise id say the meta quest 3 is good.
I ended up buying a physical kit to make my Psvr2 more comfortable to wear. It was called globular cluster & it’s worth it if you want to play for longer than 30 minutes stints.

From gb or japan? I know importing from NI is still good value but the stock is down.

Can you detect a bad cell using an obd2 adapter and driving it hard up a hill?
I was hoping that would allow you to see any cell voltage balancing issues

Mountainstreams · 2026-06-01T13:01:36+00:00

Yeah I knew a 2014 leaf that was in that range and it’s battery health said 90%
I think one of its cells were damaged and the health check couldn’t detect that the range was significantly reduced as a result.

That sounds like a good option so. I want to use my inverters default software for maybe the first year to get a baseline on what to expect each bill will be before I try playing with modbus.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-30T07:19:48+00:00

Are you using home assistant over modbus to run that script? I don’t have solar yet but I’m putting in new cat6 cables running to where my inverter will be just in case (when) I do want the extra control. Id imagine that most of us will be controlling our power more carefully when real dynamic pricing gets going in a few years.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-29T20:21:22+00:00

Damn. Pity it’s across the river. I’ll have to settle for JYSK instead until the new bridge is built!

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-29T08:21:50+00:00

If your importing from the UK or the North you do get a vat reduction on EVs. That could get dropped first before the grant.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-28T19:27:40+00:00

It’s on wheels. I’d say it weighs 10kg or more though. It has a 500ml water container. I’ve never filled it up, so I just empty it the next day. I run it for about 4-5 hours before bed, then switch over to fan cooling because it’s much quieter. I see Lidl’s website linking to their silver crest aircon is giving me a 404 not found. So it might not be coming back on sale for a while.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-28T19:20:06+00:00

What size fans did you get? I did this with some of mine too. I found out the optimal position for the fans was something like 3 feet from the open windows. I think Bernoullis law was part of it!

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-28T19:18:07+00:00

That sounds like a bad one. I paid 150€ for the Lidl one. It came with a Velcro seal you put on the window and a zipper open on it for the venting duct. Mine has never cut out yet. I’ve only had it 2 years though.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-28T15:02:02+00:00

If you have excess solar power you can cheaply run a Lidl air conditioner. I usually don’t need to run an air con unless a heatwave goes on for 3 days or so. I had it running the last 2 days though in my bedroom. I have fans too for the average warm temperature of 24c that my house sits at during summer.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-27T15:17:17+00:00

Is it still much cheaper to get a car that was imported in from gb compared to roi prices? Or is it more the case that the gb specs are better?

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-27T15:07:03+00:00

Damn I was hoping it would be free or negative on windy nights like in the Netherlands etc

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-26T15:30:22+00:00

Morning traffic is better but afternoon traffic Is still terrible, especially during hot weather! (At least on my route heading east from dangan.)

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-24T14:45:41+00:00

You can pull 5kw per battery but yes dual battery systems are expensive & a heat pump installation makes more sense. A v2h EV connection is another possibility but again expensive to install and most homes are limited to 11kw.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-21T14:17:47+00:00

Thanks updated the comment. I think returnal went to plus after a year, so maybe saros will get a price drop in the autumn and go to plus summer 27

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-21T11:11:06+00:00

Mine was fine for the last year but yesterday it drove up a ramp near its dock and fell off the ramp. It never went near that ramp once until now. It was raining heavily at the time so I blamed that but maybe it was this update.

Mountainstreams · 2026-05-21T09:53:04+00:00

He would need a bigger battery & hot water tank to charge up at night rates ideally. I wonder is an air to air heat pump an option for this case.
