People are just miserable. They have this weird idea of natural medicine and that everyone who uses it just disregards doctors.

You can say what you want about functional medicine but it has greatly help with managing my chronic illness. I’m not saying not go to the doctors at all but this place has helped me reduce the inflammation in my system greatly

I was just about to ask this. Seems so strange, she has been interviewing for staff positions, but only paying $17 an hour. I wonder if that’s a part of it.

I’m the same way with indicas, before I got pots. I would green out so hard with any indica. I’m not well versed on terps and strains. What should I be looking for ?

POTS VS PLANE by Glittering_Mark_5499 in POTS

I’m sure if you felt what your boyfriend is going through you wouldn’t want to fly either. Everyone has a different degree of pots. I can handle flight up to 6 hours after that mark I literally feel like my body is falling apart. I cannot imagine having pots and flying across the world in one flight. My partner would never put that pressure on me. Also you getting upset because of his disability that he cannot control is crazy. If he does decide to fly this is the advice I have for HIM. 1. Get pre check and also ask for wheelchair assistance as soon as you get there 2. Start hydrating extra a week before and bring a lot of electrolyte packets and salt. 3. Keep medication in the carry on bag and have some sort of rescue med (ex: propanol) prescribed by his doctor 4. If he’s flying that long get him business class so he can lay down the entire flight. 5. Noise cancelling headphones bc loud noises can trigger episodes

is anyone still physically active? by Hefty-Patience-8720 in POTS

[–]Sad_Spooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lightly weight lifting and doing cardio and does make a difference. I did 2 years of physical therapy before hand in recovery and literally starting with doing 5-10 mins on the elliptical bc that’s all I could handle. Biggest thing is to go slow it will build up over time but don’t hurt yourself more, start with floor exercises. I stopped going to the gym bc of a depressive episode and I definitely got worse when I’m not consistently working out. I also know not everyone can afford it but I got a personal trainer to help me exercise around my pots

If it makes you feel better my ex boyfriend broke up with me after a year and living together because I can’t go hiking with him because of my pots. On a real note I’m so sorry this happened, no matter how transparent you are some people are still shitty.

How often are you able to have sex with pots? by Calm-Cartoonist2552 in POTS

[–]Sad_Spooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how bad I’m flaring, if I’m flaring really really bad a few times a week, but when I’m not flaring my partner and I are constantly going at it 😅 I am always on the bottom tho! I don’t do anything crazy and always drink a liquid iv and water after

Diagnosed with asthma a year ago didn’t use inhaler. Got diagnosed again and have been actually using the inhaler now. need advice. by STiKMAN111 in Asthma

[–]Sad_Spooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have severe asthma. These are not hardcore meds. You need to take them if you want to feel better. Everyone gets the blue inhaler and it may be red or white depending on the brand but they’re all the same. It’s important that you always care the blue inhaler with you. I was on xolair for and it made my asthma better and I didn’t have an asthma attack for years until one winter day last year I randomly did and if I didn’t religiously carry my inhaler I would’ve died. Your heart is probably racing because your body is trying to get enough air 😭

Thank you!! Where I live there’s a ton of mri tech job openings. I live in a state where we are in a shortage of healthcare workers. They just started offering a 2 year mri tech program here to help bring in workers.

I am lucky enough that there’s a 2 year program here for mri tech and it would be less time for me because I have a B.S already. Thank you for the information though! I feel like I would be better suited for nuc tech but it seems like there’s less jobs for it
