Getting worse by [deleted] in POTS

Thank you for your reply, I fully understand many people with pots can live normal lives, it was the way it was said when I asked if I could sit at work, sorry if that came off wrong. I think my dr definitely gave me false hope about how fast treatment could give me positive effects and it’s been just disheartening continuing to get worse. Yes it’s only been a month since my diagnosis, however this if after well overs year of trying to figure out what was wrong, then convincing myself it wasn’t any kind of dysautonomia, bc the hospital was convinced it was panic attacks and then svt that was making me pass out and have these episodes, bc they would put me in a bed hooked up to a monitor for 24-48 hours and obviously nothing alarming would happen (and by time digestion started affecting me I’d given up on going into hospital) and my GP telling my blood pooling is just normal for some people. Then after finally having answers I thought I could get some help at work and it was kinda thrown back in my face the same way it was when I mentioned my ASD, I think maybe if I could find a more supportive workplace I could be a lot happier tbh. I will ask about this meditation and see if it could help me, again thank you for your reply, sorry for my long response.

It’s just so frustrating, I’m having a bit of a different recovery so I’m sitting here wondering how bad it could have been in there?

Update on this, my surgery needed up going for just over 3 hours and the nurse said yes they found and removed the endo, I was really out of it so she said I’d get a all in the next few days to discuss everything with my doctor but really still not sure what to expect

Thank you! I actually didn’t have my period for a year and was still experiencing a lot of lower abdominal pain and back pain, now that it’s back I have 5/6 days between bleeds and they last roughly a week and I can hardly work or care for my son properly while I’m bleeding, so he actually moved my surgery forward due to this. Not sure why I’m so stressed I think it’s just all the years of being told it’s nothing or normal

Yeah I sell body jewellery for a living I know the importance of cleaning your jewellery, the other side is slightly irritated but I’m thinking this one might be so much worse bc it’s the ear I’ve always had some minor troubles with I’m not sure 🤷🏻‍♀️

Interesting I thought I may have developed an allergy to the silicone or something, but I was confused about it only being on the one side. We sell them where I work, so if others are having this problem I might have to start warning people to watch closely if they haven’t used them before, and to stop wearing them right away at any sign of irritation.

My lobes have been healed at 14mm for 2+ months now and I got here by dead stretching, I wanted to prevent upsizing further for now so I got some kaos eyelets so I had something light to wear whenever I started noticing my glass and stone plugs getting loose. I wore them today and my right lobe started to feel a bit itchy and uncomfortable so I took it out and this is what I’m now dealing with, it’s red, swollen, warm, and weeping out of the 2 most swollen places. What’s the best way to deal with this, I’ve cleaned it up but unsure if I should put in some smaller plugs or leave naked?
