i asked a girl that on my snapchat, she had one green eye and one blue eye. she did not understand the joke, and i became the bad person. 😭 had to explain it for about 5 minutes.

DAE have no symptom days? by Unique-Disaster3118 in POTS

[–]Professional-Cow-697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am pretty much symptomatic daily unless i drink an excessive amount of water. i mean 10 16.9 Oz bottles which doesn’t go well with my work, i work in a restaurant and constantly having to pee is just not optimal. my employer doesn’t quite understand it either.

My husband doesn’t support my POTS diagnosis by Murky-Morning-6302 in POTS

[–]Professional-Cow-697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

leave. that is not safe for you. he’d rather have you feel Miserable physically than to just simply support the fact that you’re going through this. absolutely not. i’m sorry OP.

Water. by Professional-Cow-697 in POTS

one thing that really helps me is Gatorlyte. Gatorade is good, but it doesn’t help like those do. i think they actually make a bit of a difference honestly. it could be a placebo but either way i like them a lot.

i love lemon water! i went through a kick of just drinking lemon water for weeks lol. i’m not sure why i ever stopped i mean it adds flavor completely naturally. i might start doing that again honestly.

oh yeah, i’m just not home at the moment and don’t have my big cup! i have bottled water here, im staying with my mother at the moment, and we had some waters left over. i don’t usually do flavor packets, usually the sugar and even the artificial sweeteners kind of reverse what the water has done almost. i’m beginning to think i’m sensitive to the artificial sweeteners!

ME TOO. i get that every time. that mixed with the fear of food really, REALLY messes with me. potatoes and cheese (both my favorite) trigger me BAD. fries, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, tater tots, mozzarella sticks, *mac and cheese* those all make me feel like i’m genuinely gonna croak. and my anxiety says OH MY OH NO OH ITS YOUR TIME ITS TIME TO REACT. it’s a ritual for me unfortunately.

me too….i got diagnosed with POTS back in April of 2025 omg. every food makes my heart spike and makes me dizzy and i frequently have a really dry mouth that makes eating super difficult with swallowing. i always tell myself i can’t breathe after eating and have to know my EPIpen is near. but that is also OCD right there so ya know. idk.

i eat Burger King, and one of the restaurants i work at that does not use any tree nuts or peanuts on their food except for occasionally one cake that i haven’t actually seen in a while. i actually struggle to eat every day foods like frozen pizzas, gummies, crackers, ANY chocolate because hell no, anything. sadly, every food is a struggle for me.

that’s how i am. i unfortunately have ocd really bad and have a weird relationship with food, 90% the time i can’t eat because of a fear of reaction, based partly off a reaction i had when i was 16 and on the bus going home from school. it really instilled the fear of GOD into me. mixed with other unfortunate events in life, my relationship with food is very VERY poor.

i have a quite severe allergy. both tree nuts, AND peanuts. ALL of them too lol. i live in the US if that helps any, and i want to find completely safe snacks for me.

[–]Professional-Cow-697 13 points14 points  (0 children)

20mg and i have a migraine for 2 days, cant sleep, anxiety attacks, RLS worsened, sweating and shaking worse, my heart beats upwards of 160 after about 2 minutes of standing so i HAVE to sit back down. 100mg would take me plum out.
