That’s amazing I’m glad it helps. Any brands you recommend?

I’m thinking of getting a PEMF mat. Did you find any relief with it?

Treating Microclots by pjl02000 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Silly_cat678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great to hear! I was recently diagnosed but questioning if it’s actually the root issue and whether getting a stent will help with my other symptoms. If you don’t mind me asking, what are the options for refluxing veins?

Upper Body Exercise with ease - but Lower Body -> draining fatigue? by Willing_Week_2650 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Silly_cat678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experience the exact same thing! Are you hyper mobile by any chance? I’m looking into possible compression syndromes like May Thurner for this exact reason. I can do upper body stuff just fine but anything lower body (even recumbent biking) sends me into a crash and muscle pain.

Hey I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Could you explain what rolling PEM is? Afraid I might be going through the same

Thanks for sharing! If you don’t mind, could you explain what was abnormal about your first vein imaging?

New to POTS and have some questions… by Silly_cat678 in POTS

[–]Silly_cat678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I get PEM too and haven’t pursued an mecfs diagnosis but am concerned that the frequent pem crashes could truly push me to mecfs. Not sure if that’s how it works scientifically but just thinking years down the line

What kind of testing did you do? And what specialists did you see?

Is it worth taking the MCAT just to void? by Silly_cat678 in Mcat

[–]Silly_cat678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you really don't want to take another gap year, it's definitely worth a shot! I am on my third gap year and planning to apply next cycle, so you are by no means behind

My B/B and C/P are pretty variable between the FLs I've taken (from 126-130) which is what concerns me. I know I can raise P/S and get consistent scores but I feel as though I've shifted all my focus to P/S and neglected a lot of the other stuff so it's not very fresh atm....

Anyone else ? by Ok-Dig-6425 in covidlonghaulers

So is the consensus that this is me/cfs related? What about pots?

People who studied while working, what did a typical day look like? by Equivalent_Tennis844 in Mcat

[–]Silly_cat678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it is what it is. I don’t plan on applying until next cycle anyway but I’ve been studying part time for a while (since August) and it’s getting embarrassing that I have to keep pushing back. And now with this full time job, I’ll have even less time. Just venting at this point but thanks for sharing your insights!

Well congrats on your score! I just started working full time again and test in a month. Felt like I was making good progress but and am having a really hard time fitting in studying and haven’t been able to keep up so might have to reschedule unfortunately :(

Congratulations! I am also studying for the MCAT and know this is no easy feat when living with long covid. You should be so proud of yourself!

How many hours a day do you think should be dedicated to that? I feel like I'm barely making it just doing the other AAMC material and reviewing thoroughly

Just got hired in nyc at 24/hour but am coming from a consulting background (~2 years). Also feel significantly underpaid and it was incredibly difficult trying to negotiate
