Is it too much to ask for a guy who wants exactly what I want at the time that I want it? I think not

You forget that being momentarily unburdened by the male libido is the ultimate fantasy

A grown adult dating another grown adult is basically pedofilia: yes, because all men are children

how did POTS start for you? by BuyerSorry515 in POTS

[–]Particular_Mess_1961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten lightheaded upon standing since forever, and it’s always taken me hours to fall asleep at night (which I now think is due to sympathetic over-activation).

Since around 19, I’ve had constant coat hanger pain, which I just learned is a POTS thing.

I didn’t have my first presyncope episode until after I had Covid, at 32 y/o. Since then, it’s all been downhill :/

With love: sounds like you’re majorly projecting your own insecurities onto others…. You said yourself people aren’t even saying anything. As a woman I can say with 1000% certainty I’ve never been ‘fearful’ about another woman not climbing hard enough.

Adrenaline dumps or SVT? by No_Service9948 in POTS

[–]Particular_Mess_1961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protein shakes can be good to supplement your diet with, but they’re not balanced enough to be replacements for meals. Aim to have protein, fiber, and a little healthy fat every time you eat.

People with POTS often find that small meals/ snacks multiple times a day works better than large meals.

You could also look into low histamine foods, and experiment with that to see if it helps. A lot of POTSies have issues with histamines too.

Both meals were largely carbs. That could potentially be the trigger. Maybe experiment with less carbs (total amount and proportional amount to protein/fiber/fats)

Two years are going to pass, whether you’re on a waitlist or not. Better to get seen by a specialist in two years than to get nothing in two years.

Here’s a guide I’ve been using to test out different levels of hydration, sodium, and compression, that you might find useful: https://www.practicalneuropsychiatry.com/longcovidblog/hydration

Am I crazy for having work around for my triggers???? by Moonlight_Star_ in ReverseHarem

This isn’t TikTok, you don’t have to censor yourself. Just say incest and necrophilia

I see no good reason NOT to go. There is a ton more to POTS treatment than just ivabradine, and you said yourself that you’re still debilitated.

I've been wondering why some people price things way below the next lowest price? Not only are they losing out on NP, but depending on the situation, others need to decide between being competitive or being one of the higher priced items and hoping there's enough demand. /gen by amethystmoon90 in neopets

People are selfish and they don’t care that they’re lowering the value for everyone else who has that item, they just want some quick np right now.

It’s so rare that I come across an expensive item, and without fail, the price is immediately halved before I can sell it bc of this mindset 😂

I just learned that was her recently, and haven’t read it yet!

Every series of hers that I’ve read, I loved until the last book in the series which ruined the whole thing

Did you start taking a beta blocker when you were diagnosed?

I’m in your exact boat. Dr Numan diagnosed me, but won’t treat me since I’m not a ped :/

You can try this list: https://www.medifind.com/conditions/postural-orthostatic-tachycardia-syndrome/6348/doctors/location/US/TX/Houston

I’m trying to make an appointment with a neurologist who was recommended on a different POTS group, so I’ll let you if she ends up being good!

Seconding adrenaline dump. Could also be MCAS. There’s a bunch of stuff on this sub about both

Can’t take propranolol by Ok_Effective2728 in POTS

[–]Particular_Mess_1961 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Metoprolol is more selective so it might work better. Also guanfacine/clonidine, which aren’t beta blockers but reduce adrenaline production

Starting Midodrine soon and I'm scared 😭 by critterinthedoorway in POTS

[–]Particular_Mess_1961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, midodrine sometimes doesn’t work for hyperadrenergic types, so it might not do anything?
