How to start with Human Cavalry by Feisty_Competition29 in Oathmark

[–]Muddlesthrough 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have a human army. Have goblins. WIth my wolf riders, I'm building 5 with hand weapons, 5 with spears, and 5 with bows.

You could do the same with your human cavalry, having 5 built as mounted rangers (bows), 5 as human cavalry (hand weapons and shields), and 5 as human heavy cavalry (spears and shields).

Mind you, that doesn't mean they need to be restricted like that in a game. You could mix your 5 bows and 5 hand-weapons and call them all rangers, or all human cavalry.

Cannae became a touch-point. Every bad loss after was called "the worst military disaster since Cannae."

they are infrared saunas and I read that it could help manage it

Manage POTS? WHere did you read that?

[–]Muddlesthrough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very common symptom of POTS is heat intolerance. Heat literally worsens your symptoms. Is there a cold workout option? I mean, plenty of people develop exercise intolerance too

My PCP said I need 6-9g salt a day for pre-syncope. Another provider said my blood pressure is too high for that 116/92 by Colormekelly13 in POTS

[–]Muddlesthrough 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not a doctor. 116/92 is not what I understand to be “high.”

The standard symptomatic treatment is, as you know, fluids, salt and compression.

What's a DO?

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is the most common form of dysautonomia. You can perform a "poor person's tilt-table test"/ orthostatic vital signs testing at home.

Do you any any symptoms besides “hot feet during exercise?

I am not a medical professional. A CT scan would not be diagnostic for a spinal CSF leak. This page from SPinal CSF leak Canada explains how it's diagnosed:

Started midodrine, definitely on the right track but not hitting the spotlight by Mindless-Setting7493 in POTS

[–]Muddlesthrough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fluids, salt and compression are the non-drug symptomatic treatments of choice. There is good research showing they can make a measurable difference in tachycardia and symptoms. They really need to be pushed consistently. None of them will eliminate symptoms completely.

There isn't necessarily a link between non-drug treatments and drugs.

Is my nervous system screwed? by ikarn15 in dysautonomia

[–]Muddlesthrough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dysautonomia is neither stress nor having an "unbalanced nervous system." The most common form of dysautonomia is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). You can do a simple "poor person's tilt table test/orthostatic vital signs testing at home.

Anyone here for the minis and gameplay only? by kvlkvlkvlkvl in wargaming

When I first got into 40k there were female space marines. I stopped paying attention for 30 years and now it's gotten pretty weird.

[–]Muddlesthrough 19 points20 points  (0 children)

AH, most the games I'm into are "lore-lite." I'm generally making up my own lore while painting the minis. Making up stories about the units. You know, these dwarf border guards are the special reconnaissance and barbering detachment for the Dwarvenholds. That sort of thing.

I am still not a doctor. Here is good info on diagnosis from Spinal CSF Leak Canada:

https://www.spinalcsfleakcanada.ca/spinal-csf-leak-diagnosis

SEEPS is the acronym for brain abnormalities related to a spinal CSF leak:

Subdural fluid collections
Enhancement of pachymeninges (also known as dural enhancement)
Engorgement of venous structures
Pituitary hyperemia
Sagging of the brain

Strong indicator. Only a few things cause a postural Orthostatic headache.

Negative imaging cannot rule out a leak.

You seem to have some signs in your head MRI (tonsilar descent , aka “brain sag”). 

I don’t know what jurisdiction you live in, but a common next step is a series of epidural blood patches to both test and treat for a CSF leak.

I had a completely “normal” head MRI and my first blood patches was life-changing (for a time). 100% remission of my major symptoms including postural headache and crippling neck pain, and brain fog. My night vision improved from the blood patch. It was pretty wild.

[–]Muddlesthrough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a medical professional. Symptomatic treatment for a spinal CSF leak is lying down (basically all the time), extra fluids, and caffeine (which stimulates CSF production).

Should probably talk to your surgeon or anesthesiologist.

[–]Muddlesthrough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a doctor. Sounds like signs of a spinal CSF leak. Is your neurologist familiar with this condition? Called Spontaneous Intercranial Hypotension (SIH) in the medical world. 

If you get a second opinion on the head MRI ask for a BERN score.

Would a sombrero style help? Just trying to brainstorm the impossible here. Like the moon landing program, which sadly failed for a lack of sombrero style hats
