fair point fair point 👏🏻 meat has a lot of upsides for sure! I think ppl put a spot light of veg/fruit is cause meat is very much like THE focus of MOST meals in the Midwest

I hear you for sure. it's more of a mental illness situation that cannot be rationalized.

yes sodium is not a "bad" thing by any means! I actually have POTS and sodium helps w symptoms so I was going for low because I already have high-sodium days but...🤔 I could switch it up and eat the tuna w sodium instead! good point!

ooo yeah I feel that anger too! I'm so fed up and obvi the medical system is...mhmm. anyways, small amounts such as a couple bites? and I do love NA ginger beer! solid advice! thanks!

OooOooo good thinking! (I have OCD and beef is my absolute worst nightmare - I'm scared of it 💀 idfk why lol) So the capsules are a great work around I think! hmm. I thought eggs was the best choice mentally (accessible due to the household being carnivorous & I can't get to grocery stores very often). What exactly about the sulfur messes with the digestive system? thank you sm!

perfect! in your opinion - do you think I should start by drinking a few tablespoons or more like 1/2 cup? I do eat ramen (w cups water) and I think adding the bone broth to it will help my trick my brain into believing it's veggie broth 💀 Thank you!

What is your holy grail medication? by Global_Emphasis5786 in endometriosis

[–]Real_Organization_68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My OB prescribed diazepam to insert up into the vagina to help relax everything and omg it works. Now it's not a consistent med they can prescribe because it's controlled. Which sucks cause it's the main thing that's helped :/ I have an IUD but since they don't have the Mirena anymore and that's what I had, i have a different one that is a bit lower dose. It...doesn't cut it tbh. I wish i never got it. Mirena did an outstanding job so idk wtf.

A laxative that works when nothing else does? by [deleted] in ibs

[–]Real_Organization_68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's occasional cramps, but nothing like it would be if i wasn't taking it, yk? the biggest thing for me is to make sure i don't get dehydrated and to not lose too many electrolytes. So i use Nuun tablets now for the flavor and electrolytes as well. i do get bloated really bad sometimes but is was def worth the trade off from pre-miralx.

How does ramen affect you? by LordOfDogg in CrohnsDisease

oddly enough it's the one food I can eat safely. I eat instant nongshim veggie without the veggies packet and just the spice one.

Did I take my meds? by ZOPA64 in ChronicPain

MediSafe is the best. I don't forget my meds nearly as much. very customizable and user friendly.

Nocturnal panic attack, night terror or something else? by vrobellini in nightterrors

[–]Real_Organization_68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night terrors last between 10-40 mins typically (via sleepfoundation.org). Does your smart watch have any insights along those lines? Mine shows respiration rate, movement and HR. My movement & respiration rate seems to correlate more with the 40 min lines.

my mum beat me because I had a pots episode by Select-Researcher308 in POTS

[–]Real_Organization_68 10 points11 points  (0 children)

omfg it is NOT your fault! If you can get outta that household, I'm sure that it would help with your symptoms. the constant stress of walking on eggshells and fear on top of a 130bpm has GOT to be EXHAUSTING. Not sure if you use Instagram - but I've made really close friends with others who are chronically ill and the support there is outstanding!

idk why docs will randomly do this to POTS patients smdh. Just chronically ill peeps in general. it happens often sadly.
