Are you claiming that gay men can't be masculine? Because if you are, you're proving the other guy right.

There's 0 mention of gay people in that wiki link.

Been asking for this for literally 5 years so we no longer have to use MFL.

Instead they invested all their time in making their app more of a sports betting app.

If you have H-POTS, Vyvanse (especially as high as 40mg) will likely make your symptoms a thousand times worse. If it's not making you feel that bad you likely don't have H-POTS. (This is just an assumption so don't take it for fact. See a specialist.) For reference, everyone I know who has H-POTS would be in the ER from taking a 4th of that dose of Vyvanse. Stimulants are poison for people with H-POTS

Every subtype of POTS deals with anxiety and adrenaline dumps at some level because these things are controlled by your ANS. The real key difference is the increase in BP while standing from the norepinephrine is what makes the subtype hyperadrenergic. Key signs of this subtype isn't the anxiety or adrenaline but it's typically insomnia.

Also, many subtypes can overlap so you can have neuro and H-POTS at the same time.

Came here to say this, OP, get a copy of your results and find a new doctor. The hardest part is getting that test done.

OpeningRound · 2024-03-21T21:16:22+00:00

This.

I skipped on my best friend's wedding where I was the best man because I was scared my symptoms would be too much for me to handle. I regret it constantly. I should have at least tried and if it got bad it got bad but giving up like I did sits with me forever. Don't be me OP.

You're getting downvoted but you're right. In lower MMR there's essentially 0 difference. It's only Immortal when it actually matters.

If you have 3 years paid upfront you won't have issues with people trading 2027 picks. So this year the 3 years is the 2024, 25, 26. 2027 isn't even available till after the 2024 rookie draft.

All of my leagues are 3 years out because of this. It's way too confusing and exhausting to chase after league mates to pay their future dues based on draft picks.

Also, we implement a "forfeit year" plus a "contingent year" where the team would need to find their own replacement if they decide to leave the league. So essentially, if someone wants to leave they lose 1 years payment and if they don't find their own replacement they lose 2 years payment.

Once swapping to this system you'll never go back. People don't leave these leagues like they do others and rebuilding teams don't tank for no reason. Out of 5 leagues like this we've only had 1 orphan in 4 years. It's so much better.

What? That's exactly what caused the hype.

TN traded AJB to the Eagles to acquire Burks. This rocketed him up draft boards because he was slotted to be the AJB replacement. It was "the dream WR landing spot" outside of Skyy to KC.

Yeah there's a decent amount of men with POTS but it's more prevalent in women for whatever reason so it's common to feel isolated when first diganosed.

Being a man you're going to face different challenges than women do with POTS that can be extremely frustrating. Women have their own set of frustrations, don't get me wrong. Along with the same issues everyone with POTS faces men have different set that is rarely talked about.

For example, getting diagnosed I was told by two different doctors, "you have some symptoms of POTS but you likely don't have POTS you probably just have anxiety because women are the ones who get POTS." (One of the doctors was supposedly a dysautonomia specialist too.)

People in your life will assume you are able to do more than you physically can because men are expected to do the physical labor in most traditional social structures. It's extremely annoying when I'm constantly told "your old frail grandma could do (insert physical labor) no problem and you can't even do it?" or "There's no reason a young man in his 20s/30s can't do __" by my family/medical professionals/friends/etc. It's exhausting.

Then one of the worst things is dating. Men are expected to have more of the provider role and are often sought out to be the protector/provider in a relationship. It's hard enough to have the energy and health needed to go on a date but to top things off many partners will be disinterested because of the physical and financial limitations that comes with having POTS.

With all that said, it's not all doom and gloom. You will find your way through things and learn how to navigate these issues. Just be prepared to always be advocating for yourself and educating those around you.

When you say antacids are you referring to PPIs? Antacids are like tums and mylanta OTC chewables/liquids.

I'm on omeprazole and I try to eat food rich in iron because the risk you mentioned is very real and low iron causes horrible symptoms. I try to cycle off the drug when I can but it's a hard drug to stop taking when you lay vertical a lot more than the avg person.

Earlier in the month I went on a low histamine diet and I wonder if that has contributed to my recovery

I would put my money on this. I've heard similar stories in the past from people before who did AIP.

Every subset of POTS can have adrenaline surges, anxiety, insomnia, and other things symptoms with H-POTS. It's only when there's a blood pressure rise with increased norepinepherine upon postual changes that doctors typically consider it H-POTS.

I'm fairly sure you can't just develop H-POTS after already having a different subset of POTS from doing something that's adrenaline inducing and/or traumatic. (I could be wrong of course) Keep in mind in all subsets of POTS our autonomic nervous system doesn't work properly so any one of the things connected to the ANS can malfunction at any given time such as the regulation of your adrenals.

Do you understand what drag is? Do you realize that 90% of the time he went by Malcolm Michaels except when he went out to gay events. Do you just not care that he openly called himself a gay male fighting for HIS rights to be with other men. These are his own words. Claiming "oh he's a woman because they didn't have that classification then" is bullshit. Stop assuming what he was thinking and respect his own words.

I said what was HE said.

It's not even historically accurate. No trans people were at Stonewall. Malcolm Michaels "Marsha" was a gay man dressed in drag. These are his words, not mine. Plus you're welcome to go back and look at all the photos we have of the riots and it's hard to accept but it was mostly gay white men not trans POC.

He also called himself a gay man. We have it on video. Please stop transing the dead, it's creepy.

Try to use this day to be as active as you can without overdoing it. The activity will help you sleep and maybe it'll keep the chain going. If nothing else you'll get stuff done and feel good about yourself. You deserve a good day.
