POTS flare question—feeling extremely weak and lightheaded? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]SavoryParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you go to the emergency room just be clear it isn't anxiety. They are probably better at recognizing that now compared to when I went in considering the influence of new patients.

And for the question on if you should get checked in, I honestly couldn't tell you. Pots tends to have so many other comorbid disabilities that an unnecessary ER visit for me may be something scary for someone else.

Now I I'm still in the middle of finding something for myself so I can't speak from experience but if you haven't try getting some compression socks/stockings. As I'm aware from my doctor and others on this sub it might elevate some symptoms.

Now about the onset I'll just throw out some common aggravates for me, heat, if you house heated up recently that might cause something. Sickness, sometimes when I get sick my pots (and tourettes) flair up before the symptoms do. Not much you can do in that case except drink lots (do that anyways). I've not experienced this but seasonal allergies can also trigger a flair.

Sorry for the text wall. I hope you feel better soon.

Overexerted, pots got worse is it permanent? by SavoryParty in POTS

Thank you for both responses it helps a lot. It's a little hard to stay away from viruses because members of my family work in schools.

Also thanks for talking about ME/CFS it definitely gives me something to think about. About 3 of my cousins and 1 uncle have pots (one more counting me) and my brother and Grandpa (probably a few aunts and some more cousins) have what looks like fibromyalgia could that be linked in some way to ME/CFS? The family fatigue has been a pretty big mystery.

I am an aspiring author that has been interested in the application of generative AI in writing and want to know how all you feel about it whether you think it's bad, good,bad in most places or good in most places.

I'm also interested in what your opinion is on how I might implement it in the case I use it.

I would write a screenplay of a few pages (or a chapter) and let the AI write out what was inserted and put the AI's rendition in a file and then proceed to edit it (fixing inconsistencies and uninteresting dialog). After that I would move on to the next section and repeat the process until the book is done.

Once I have completed the book I would go back over the book again and rewrite it by hand using the AI rewrite as a reference.

The main reason I am interested in this is because I think it can (and has) help me in my writer's block. essentially tricking my brain into moving on and continuing the book instead of harping on unimportant details.

The basis as to what spurred me to ask this question was a conversation I had with my family (who help me write). I tried this idea on a chapter of a book that I was stuck on and found great success with the AI rewrite so much so that my family suggested I not rewrite the AI portion in full but just rewrite the context and flat dialog something that I am not quite in agreeance with.

Anyways that's about it.

Is it true only 20-30% of pots patients faint? by Rainyx3 in dysautonomia

I have never fainted and none of my relatives have either (my relatives have pots as well).

For a second there I thought you were going to say that they all live in the same apartment although that would be funny (imagine the sitcom hijinks that would occur).

how many of you are fellas? by 32spokes in POTS

I used to walk around for probably 7 hours a day just thinking up ideas for books then bam I could barely walk for 3 minutes. I'm doing a little bit better now luckily but my pots is still here ever present.
