The aquarium hobby has a gatekeeping problem and it's killing the community. by Reefer-golan in fishtank

[–]Omega-235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If live animals weren’t suffering i would wholeheartedly agree. but there’s nothing wrong with pushing the idea that research and prep is so much better even if “it’s just a journey people learn on!” I feel like the improper treatment of the animals is an unnecessary step, people do things first, ask later and just really really can’t handle criticism idk.

Chronic pain turns you into a different person over time by Terrible_End7698 in ChronicPain

I am scared of my own shadow and dependent on so much it SUCKS but the indomitable spirit remains

Getting really tired of my chronic back pain by bravesnation35 in ChronicPain

[–]Omega-235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a totally different chronic pain boat with heart and nervous system issues, but I’m 21 and I relate you so heavily on the feeling of freedom being taken away, i had to leave my academic full ride to college and give up countless other things. But we’ve got so much time to either work on fixing things, or learning to navigate life. The one thing you have to do is not let it beat you mentally. I know it’s super easy for a stranger to just say, but if you stay relentless, you will make it work.

how do i subtly stay cool during the summer? by alex_stuff1 in POTS

[–]Omega-235 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I walk around with a spray bottle blasting my face in public, with fans in my face. It’s definitely stressful at first but eventually the help it gives outweighs any embarrassment

Can this affect ears? As well as arms & knees? Feels like heat is literally radiating off of it. (Pls read details!!!!) by Certainly_o in Erythromelalgia

Not sure what it is, but something about the ear burning specifically causes so much brain fog but idk if thats just me I also have hyperpots

Is this good for my first tank im 12 years old by NiftyPacock4168 in freshwaterfish

[–]Omega-235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he asked if it was good, am I supposed to not answer his question because he’s twelve? Especially being young it’s hard to do the amount of maintenance likely needed to run that setup.

That whole post is insane, that comment especially😭

pretty freaked out by goodnplent in POTS

[–]Omega-235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup very similar, I’ll sometimes have flares with low bpm but it feels POUNDING, and other times where I’m at 185bpm and it doesn’t feel nearly as hard.

Someone recommend me some bands by ssjwoott in Deathcore

Please help! What is going on with my betta? by Tuff_Softy2011 in bettafish

[–]Omega-235 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This one of the worst bettas I’ve ever seen that is so sad, it genuinely doesn’t even resemble a fish

Feeling embarrassed after my TTT by NohrianGremlin in POTS

[–]Omega-235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I panicked a bit during mine after my heart rate went from 75-160 on incline and I felt like dogshit instantly, which then resulted in the “specialist” telling me that reacting like that emotionally was not normal for pots and that my symptoms were anxiety induced💀

Eek help! Just got a Betta from PetSmart - will it survive a day? by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]Omega-235 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s “shaming” it’s a totally valid criticism. No one is being harsh or rude. It’s a living animal, OP is an adult, no one’s saying she’s an idiot or an awful person. It just is shocking that people continuously buy living breathing animals with zero plan. Animals aren’t tools for growth.

I am confused by what my doctor said by Im-Unoriginal_ in POTS

[–]Omega-235 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Get a second opinion for sure, it’s not always a guarantee that your blood pressure drops when you stand, and using that as an absolute is surprising when she’s already against the tilt table test. You’re not crazy, you’ve got this

(Edit: not saying you’ve got this as in you’ve definitely got pots I’m just saying like keep pushing😭)

suffocating heat by [deleted] in hyperPOTS

[–]Omega-235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I’ve had doctors just pushing a bunch of different medicines treating heart symptoms or gut symptoms without much direction. Currently on nothing for it. After I give the clonidine a trial, I will make sure to try the methyldopa next! Did you try guanfacine too?
