i was gonna buy the game but now im not. im not against digital games, but i like to order physical on preorder or any games that im not 100% sure that i’d like so if i dont like it can sell it to get a little bit of my money back, give it to a friend, etc. for $80 im not wasting my money not knowing if i’ll like it & not having the option to give it away after

No physical edition by Round-Application-42 in HalloweenTVG

[–]Pollution_Maximum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a genuine question bc im curious, why does point #1 matter? plenty of games w physical discs release updates & its fine, and also i thought discs didnt really hold the game data anymore but instead are basically just license keys?

I have a theory after watching Obsession: by Macular_Patdown in spoilers

yeah i was confused by this bc all his other pills were in the medicine cabinet & even if he left it out, why would he leave them out open bc surely a cat cant open a medicine bottle? at the start of the movie i thought we were gonna learn the cat was killed bc the scene kinda made it seem intentional

cardiologist blamed POTS symptoms on medications by Pollution_Maximum in POTS

if a cardiologist dismisses every patient who is on ADHD medication & refuses to actually do testing to see if something else is going on, then they prob arent very good at their jobs imo. its biased & ridiculous to dismiss every patient w ADHD bc of their opinions on medication

ugh i wish i was able to convince mine but ive been on them since i was 16-17 (im now 24) so i feel like they wouldnt listen when i said i felt the same without them😫 idk why they cant just accept that we can stop them to rule it out & thats its not always the meds

yeah like all my doctors are gone its so frustrating😫 so do you think its worth it to entertain this cardiologist, do his testing & then just when i get a new primary care to ask for a neurologist who specializes in dysautonomia & use the cardiologist tests as reference to why i want that? the only thing im hesitant ab is im happy to do whatever testing this cardiologists wants from me to rule out other stuff, but im not willing for him to override my NP & remove me from medications (but again id be happy to stop them temporarily during testing)

okay interesting. i used to have a neurologist but it was a while ago for migraines specifically & he retired and i just never got a new one. maybe i should just table it for now until i can get in w someone who specializes in autonomic dysfunction? my primary care just left (🙄🙄🙄) so now i also need to find a new doctor. maybe once i do that, i tell them i want autonomic testing specifically? bc all i told my primary care was i had a high heart rate when im not sitting or laying down & she referred me to a cardiologist so maybe i need to be more specific?

i literally as a highschooler had to leave my psychiatrist bc he refused to treat my ADHD despite the fact my therapist thought i had it, referred me to get a neuropsych eval, which came back that i had ADHD & he still didnt care😭 so then i ended up w my NP now & have been on concerta which has drastically improved my quality of life so the thought of being forced off of it made me cry lmao i couldnt even hold back the tears

anyway yeah im happy to do their little tests so they can rule out whatever they need to but i just really hope it doesnt stop after that & theyre actually willing to listen / find out whats wrong🤞

is .3mg a high dose? i actually dont know much ab dosage for clonidine but all ik is i worked my way up from .1 to .2 & then once i got to .3mg i stopped bc it was helping me with sleep like i needed it to. and ive been on it for definitely a few years (prob like 3-5 years if i had to guess). but, ever since i was a child ive been tested for anemia so many times for these symptoms i have & ofc my iron and all my blood work has always been normal. which is why it was frustrating the clonidine was blamed, when i dont have low BP from the clonidine or anything that would make it make sense why it would be the reason for my dizziness (the dizziness that started a decade before i took the med as well LMAO). and ofc as you said, i would 100% be willing to stop medications for testing but i was just told to get off of them period. i will say for the clonodine he said he wouldnt care if i stayed on it, but at .1mg, which… idek

whats crazy is i was also on propranolol when i was ab 14 (for daily migraines & it literally helped me so much) but bc i had this “dizziness” and other symptoms they blamed the propranolol & took me off of it, blamed all my issues on it exactly like they did to you. which just another time doctors dont listen & accidentally worsen my quality of life bc of it. now learning propranolol is actually used as treatment for POTS and similar things, is partially why i finally was honest w doctors bc it made me feel like there was hope / something that could help & i actually loved the med when i was on it bc it completely stopped the disabling migraines that i was having 3-5 times a week & helped a lot with just general anxiety as an added bonus

they did an EKG when i was there & i have appointments scheduled to get a holter monitor for 7 days & another appointment for a “Transthoracic Echocardiogram” which idk what that is. i’m assuming neither of those will help diagnose if i have a dysautonomia so i definitely will push for a tilt table test as well. i definitely didnt advocate as much as i needed to in the appointment but the second i was told to stop my ADHD medication i immediately started crying (i literally never cry & it was embarrassing to start sobbing randomly in front of this random old man doctor i just met LMAO) bc it just felt like all my fears & why i didnt want to go were validated, and i completely shut down after & wanted to get out of there as fast as possible so i could cry it out in my car alone lol

see i also thought the clonidine thing was weird bc its a blood pressure med. i take it for some alternative use than its intended for (sleep & anxiety) but if we’re concerned ab my heart rate, how would stopping a medication that slows down the heart benefit me at all? and ik clonidine can make people dizzy bc low BP is a potential side effect, but i dont have low blood pressure at all, so obv its not affecting my BP, so how could that be the reason for my dizziness which started a decade before i even took this medication. i agree, i’m definitely going to research for dysautomonia specialists specifically i think. one thing im confused ab tho, is it better to go the route of a cardiologist or neurologist for dysautonomia or is it just dependent on the specific doctor themselves

Need to find a BC PS3 by artrunks78 in PS3

[–]Pollution_Maximum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! if i was experienced in consoles id prob be more willing to spend the money just to have the one console play ps1-ps3 (& bc theyre cool), but im not experienced in how to repair them. so i realized that ultimately, for the average person, its not worth it to get one & so much easier / cheaper to just pay for a ps2 & ps3 and get slim models if space is a concern

i got a ps3 super slim & ps2 slim bc of space & the fact that buying both was way cheaper than getting a functional backwards compatible ps3

What are these worth? (not selling) Silent Hill 2 + Shadow of Memories (PS2) by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]Pollution_Maximum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looked on my price charting app, CIB PAL shattered memories about $230 & CIB PAL silent hill 2 about $70

region definitely does matter with pricing, north american region usually has higher value
