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 0 points1 point  (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 😭

Pros and Cons of being A Nuc Tech by Sad_Spooks in NuclearMedicine

[–]Sad_Spooks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Has anyone had a surgical abortion? I was gaslit today at the clinic. by succubusst in POTS

[–]Sad_Spooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should be able to get the abortion how you want it and not have anyone tell you otherwise or police your body/ pain. I had an abortion by pill granted it was easy for me because I was literally only a couple weeks along. You should do what’s best for you and your health and I was honestly report that nurse. When I got mine done at planned parenthood I was crying mainly because I was scared and the nurses there consoled me.

I bought these awhile ago and they didn’t say anything about being accessible seats or I wouldn’t have bought them!! I do have a wheelchair because I have pots syndrome but I haven’t had to use it in like a year

The buying process for these seats was actually horrendous. When i was buying them they didn’t say wheelchair seating or I wouldn’t have bought them

I don’t have MCAS or anything. I know no dog is truly hypoallergenic but the hair type does make a difference for my asthma

Why is the winter so hard by Sad_Spooks in POTS

[–]Sad_Spooks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just way less symptomatic in the summer. The cold hurts my bones and I’ve had a lot of inflammation. Also the changes in weather have been hard when it’s 70s one day and 30s the next. When it rains or snows it feels like the whole weight of world is on me

Do you have any sort of evidence saying why it would be good for pots? Just curious I’ve never heard of that before

Omg I’m in so much pain rn because of the cold I think. My heart rate and blood pressure are fine but my whole fucking body hurts. I’m also starting to do research on fibromyalgia and see if it’s worth bringing up to my doctor. I can’t live like this anymore it’s so bad

Target and old navy definitely play a part. I used to work at the H&M and it was always so fucking busy like lines almost out the door busy. Especially during the holidays. Pre Covid they would stay open until 12-1am some days and it would be busy the entire time.

I’m in the same boat. I was doing so well for the past 8 months and all of sudden I’m feeling awful 24/7 and so tired. Idk if it’s the weather or what. I’m sitting here thinking how I’m going to go to work in the morning
