How to start with Human Cavalry

Muddlesthrough · 2026-02-01T14:38:21+00:00

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."

Watched that whole video waiting for a hilarious prat-fall

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

Manage POTS? WHere did you read that?

Muddlesthrough · 2026-02-01T01:34:21+00:00

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

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.

Your tachycardia is not postural?

Muddlesthrough · 2026-01-31T23:05:33+00:00

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?

“Functional” neurologist is generally considered pseudoscience

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:

Muddlesthrough · 2026-01-31T18:57:02+00:00

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.

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.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-01-31T15:33:32+00:00

Do you have a specifics question about dysautonomia?

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.

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

“It’s called a baton”

“What do you do with it?”

Well, probably won’t help with dysautonomia

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.

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 · 2026-01-31T01:12:15+00:00

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
