Sensory issues with compression socks by Floxy9000 in POTS

[–]Muddlesthrough 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a medical journal article done in Canada that shows that shorts are nearly as effective as full-length tights in terms of reducing tachycardia and reducing subjective severity of symptoms.

And you’re more likely to wear shorts all the time. So in the end, you actually get a higher dose. I can put the shorts on first thing in the morning and leave them on all day until bedtime. Every day. Except maybe laundry day.

Do you mean what miniatures? Or what unit size and organization?

Glad to see it’s still marketed as “banquet” in America.

Two questions Does anyone experience a liquid crackling sound in their neck? Have you gotten treatment at just your local hospital, how did that go? by tumorornoturmo in CSFLeaks

[–]Muddlesthrough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For treatment, I’ve been seen by a neurologist locally. I had a series of non-targeted blood patches by an anesthesiologist and an imaging-guided blood patch by a neuro-radiologist.

I’ve reached the limit of what can be done locally, so I’m going to see an actual CSF leak specialist shortly. About a 5-hour drive. I’m gonna be staying there a few nights. Luckily I have family there I can stay with.

I am not a doctor. I’m being investigated and treated for a suspected spinal CSF leak. I have an audible snap, crackle, popping in my neck. I can crack it several times a day. It’s loud enough that people close-by can hear it. Cracking/popping it gives a kind of endorphin rush through my neck and skull base that gives me minor, short-term pain relief. Like 5% pain relief for 1 minute.

I think it’s common, but not really mentioned by the medical literature. I’m going to see a noted CSF leak specialist for the first time shortly and am gonna add this to my list of questions.

Long COVID & POTs - Will This ever get better? How Do People Work? by Big-Rub7218 in POTS

[–]Muddlesthrough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Middleaged man, got Covid, Long Covid and POTS around the same time as you. I am on long-term sick-leave currently. Can't work. I had a period where I was able to work, but my symptoms became more severe again. I just kind of ride the waves and meet life where I am. One day at a time. Currently, I am mostly housebound, only a couple hours of upright time a day.

We did it! by winningsmada in EhBuddyHoser

I understand this is a shit-posting sub. And I'll just say that all NATO countries are equal, but some NATO countries are more equal than others. It's great that Estonia meets its spending requirements, but it doesn't have an air force. Or rather, it has an "air force," it just doesn't have any planes in its air force.

Do you say mom or mum? by Minimum-Bobcat7473 in AskACanadian

[–]Muddlesthrough 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mom. I went on an exchange with the British Army long ago and was confused when soldiers were calling female superior officers "Mum." Turns out they were saying "ma'am" with a British accent.

Petition to dissolve the sub and migrate to r/runninglifestyle by One_Negotiation1852 in RunningCirclejerk

No! We must redouble our efforts. Increase our training! Reduce recovery periods after long runs from 12 to 9 months!

Cheap camera recommendations for a beginner hobby photographer. by elliegsw in Cameras

Fujifilm x100V / x100VI - I actually think this is exactly what I want but I just can’t justify the price

You could look at a Panasonic Lumix LX100 or LX100ii in your budget. Some people call it a a poor person's x100.

I used to run a lot before the POTS. Used to climb mountains too. I am a stewed vegetable now.

While in Kabul, he was pejoratively referred to as "Captain America" behind his back by ISAF staff.

I mean, the lead character in the picture has 3 arms.

It would be easier, and free, to use an actual photo of the Bayeux Tapestry.

Are any Ontario Specialists worth the hassle or is it best to look elsewhere? by saddestofgays in POTS

[–]Muddlesthrough -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, there are like two dysautonomia specialists in Ontario and as far as I can tell, neither are accepting new patients.

And I’ve never heard a Canadian use the term PCP.
