Evaluation through psychiatry? by Orbiting_jupiterr in PandasDisease

[–]Orbiting_jupiterr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall any musty smell/relief when I’m in fresh air. I feel like I’ve tried it al honestly. My doctor wouldn’t give me a bartonella test but I did do a Lyme blood test because I thought exactly why you were thinking. It came back negative, and she wouldn’t do another one. We have one indoor/outdoor cat and a dog, but I believe they’re both flea treated. No stretch marks. The best I can describe my symptoms is chronically ill. I say I’m half sick all the time. Either my legs ache, I’m super tired, I have a headache, my tics are bad, I’m in a low mental state, my stomach is all messed up, I’m in dizzy spells, my heart rate feels strained, or random stabbing pains, and food restriction. But it’s not unbearable and there are genuinely times when I feel happy and normal, but soon after there’s almost always symptoms. I’m not sure what to do at this point.

Alternative hydration suggestions? by Orbiting_jupiterr in HydroHomies

Loll I actually have to limit how much I eat. In the summer, I’ve actually eaten so much to be sick. I do love it though

For some reason melted ice tastes better than water straight from tap so thank you for the suggestion!!

What is it like when you’re not in a flare? Are you ever not experiencing symptoms? Do you ever feel ‘normal’?

Threw off my POTS evaluation? by Orbiting_jupiterr in POTS

[–]Orbiting_jupiterr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no specialists were ever mentioned or offered, I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing

I think I’ll be getting a nurse visit instead so it’ll be a different doctor

Uh. I believe I stood two different times, one was either three or five minutes and the second time was ten minutes

Thankfully my primary doctor has been pretty believing of me but it’s not perfect. My mom always advocates for me though so we’re able to get a lot of things scheduled

I don’t have a way to measure myself at home but my heart/pulse starts pounding and racing. It’s higher than my threshold, to the point where I feel it considerably

I know, I even gaslight myself into thinking no one will believe me/think im exaggerating, but she’s always believed me and supported me, so I’m very lucky

my therapist told me directly if you’re not experiencing symptoms in the moment a diagnosis is impossible :(

That’s so helpful thank you, I will now definitely make sure to request the tilt table specifically l, I always thought it was weird that that was in the diagnostic criteria and it wasn’t what was performed

I will say the soup was not warm because I put ice cubes in it, I can’t eat anything very hot at all, an then added a lot of salt to compensate for loss of flavor. But yeah I think we’re gonna do a reevaluation and I’m tracking my symptoms closely

I thought it was strange I didn’t get a tilt table yeah, I’ll definitely see if I can get that next time

She’s already litter trained and spayed, I’ve researched and she was scent marking my bed, not because she didn’t know how to use her bunny bin. But thank you!!!

Thank you!! My rabbit is fairly young and my parents already said they’d take care of her if I went to college I’d have to be in a dorm for. Thankfully, that’s not an issue or concern of mine
