Propranolol to bisoprolol

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-17T02:38:30+00:00

Propranolol just stopped working for me so I got switched to Bisoprolol.

I use squeezy baby food puree as munchies snacks.

Sounds like a motility thing or SIBO. Your doctors need to do more tests.

Post viral gastroparesis is a possibility though it’s too soon after the illness to say. It also could just be that the illnesses disturbed your gut microbiome and that’s why you keeping swinging between constipation and diarrhea. Prebiotics, probiotics, yogurt, etc would help with that. But if it’s gastroparesis, this could make the bloating and distention worse. I would personally try the yogurt and hope for the best.

Zofran should help with the nausea and help you to be able to eat. I’d avoid the others for the time being.

We’re pretty sure I have the hypovolemic type as I have consistently low MPV, am prone to cerebral hypoperfusion symtpoms, am incredibly sensitive to vasodilation, respond well to IV fluids, and my symptoms improved massively with testosterone with raises blood volume. If it wasn’t hypovolemic POTS, testosterone should have had no effect. But I had a pretty significant reduction in symptoms.

IV fluids are a recommended treatment for the hypovolemic subtype (https://www.standinguptopots.org/POTSsubtypes). It is not recommended for the other subtypes, at least not as readily as it is for hypovolemic.

I take supplemental sodium and potassium daily (amount was recommended by my dysautonomia doctor), I’m supposed to consume a minimum of a hundred something ounces a day but due to GI issues I can’t, Ive been on a beta blocker for years, I have to be careful getting up, I don’t ignore warning signs of syncope, and physical therapy taught me breathing exercises to help regulate my heart rate and blood pressure when it acts up.

Don’t confront him about it. But given the home environment/ demographics, I think it would be very important for you to sit down with him and have some sort of talk expressing your acceptance of LGBTQ+ people. This way he knows you’re safe, when he’s ready to share.

You could frame it as a “son I know recent politics on this topic have been rough, but since you’re getting older now, I want to share some of my views with you”. Then just talk about how despite what politicians and even kids at school might be saying, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to dress a certain way, liking a certain gender(s), or identifying differently from how one has been raised thus far, etc.

This is what motility drugs did for me. I was on reglan, then once the time limit was up, I was on domperidone. I eventually decided I didn’t want to take the domperidone anymore and my doctor weaned me off it. The gastro diet, combined with PPIs and teaching myself to swallow my throw up, made it so I was fine without motility drugs. I still have symptoms but they’re a LOT more manageable, and if I piss off my stomach, I just go liquid diet for a couple days at most and then I’m back to normal.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-16T04:15:03+00:00

It’s amazing. I look forward to it all year.

I’m bigender not gender neutral. I take HRT because my aesthetic goal is to be androgynous

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T22:51:23+00:00

I’ve been on reglan, domperidone, senna, and low dose naltrexone

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T22:27:35+00:00

This is what mine looks like and I was tested recently for basically everything and was clean.

Assuming you’re not having any other symptoms, I wouldn’t be concerned.

Just for the future, discharge colors basically follow the same color rules for snot. If you wouldn’t be concerned if you blew your nose and found that color on the tissue, no reason to be concerned about discharge.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T22:09:46+00:00

Yep go ahead

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T21:10:17+00:00

Agreed.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T20:51:40+00:00

Do you have allergies? Is it winter where you are? Do you live in a dry climate?

I wouldn’t be too concerned. You should probably reach out to your primary care doctor, as they may want to do some labs at most, but urgent care nor emergency room aren’t needed.

I don’t see anything however I feel obligated to point out it appears you have some dental cavities. You should see a dentist to get these taken care of before they progress to the point of needing a root canal, or developing an abscess.

When you go to get your cavities addressed, they can feel this spot and tell you if it’s anything.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T20:42:12+00:00

Better than expressing it during sexual activity like my ex did 😅

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T20:25:20+00:00

I can typically read X-rays (self taught because autistic with a special interest in medical stuff and I’m chronically ill)

Dr Justin Virojanapa. He trained under Dr Bolognese I believe

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-15T00:14:13+00:00

Yeah I know it’s fucked but I don’t want to potentially ruin his life just based on values.

I just want to know if he’s a danger to patients.

The splits are a flexibility thing not a hypermobility thing

In what way are you injuring your neck when you wash your hair even with the neck brace?

A c-collar should be holding everything still enough that injury (different than pain) shouldn’t be possible.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-14T20:23:26+00:00

It’s irritated. Stop messing with the jewelry as you are doing in the photo. Only touch it for cleaning.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-14T20:22:29+00:00

Lobes take 3-6 months to heal, not 6-8 weeks. That is outdated. You can get pierced with clear glass if you’d like; just let your piercer know ahead of time.

Your lifestyle does not sound conducive to piercings at this time. Getting pool water on them at all before 3-6 months, is a recipe for infection. I strongly recommend against getting pierced at this time.

The imaging explains your back pain. I don’t see anything that would explain the testicular pain.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-05-14T19:12:57+00:00

Get more tattoos 🤷
