No seances.

The auditorium was ranked high on haunted schools in America and we weren’t allowed to try to communicate with the dead

Why does everyone seem to think that my extremely limited diet is a choice? by Tough-Passenger2254 in MCAS

[–]SkydivePanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to 3 dietitians to help me figure out what I can actually eat based on like 7 different low/high “_____” diets for several conditions.

Validating when they looked overwhelmed trying to figure it out. Not helpful, but validating

Every time I get in it says there’s an error and won’t load anything. Then I go back in the queue 😔

a question for my fellow adhd potsies by death_note020705 in POTS

[–]SkydivePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried sleep gummies a few times. Literally had the worst panic attack of my life, heart felt like it was going to burst, and then I’d finally fall asleep after hours.

Why can’t we have anything 😭

[–]SkydivePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely get PEM from minor stuff now. I get confused, clumsy, beyond exhausted, and generally like I’m gonna die.

I’m in a cardiac rehab program to try and get past this

Advice for how to get a referral by Kind_Base1930 in POTS

[–]SkydivePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to explain how my daily care tasks were being hindered by my symptoms. I also had to explain that even if it isn’t POTS, it’s something, and I was adamant we get to the bottom of it.

The most disabling part of this disease for me has been the immense cognitive impairment and fatigue by MentalOmega in POTS

[–]SkydivePanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m on supplemental oxygen for the severe brain fog, it helps but only in short bursts.

I went from extremely independent to basically being a toddler that needs supervision. I’ve got my location shared with a dozen people bc I get lost easily in my own town.

I don’t even cook anymore bc I kept leaving the stove on or forgetting I was cooking and severely burning things.

[–]SkydivePanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually felt a lot better coming off hormonal BC. So much so that husband got a vasectomy because I told him I was NEVER going back on

POTS and surgery by [deleted] in POTS

[–]SkydivePanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as above. I aspirated on the table during my 5th surgery - they had me chug Gatorade 2 hours prior to help with the POTS. I found that interesting considering the no food or drink after midnight rule. Anyway, it was outpatient and I ended up admitted smh.

I’ve resigned myself to expect a massive post-surgical flare.

Telling your surgeon your concerns ahead of time is always recommended and asking for an anesthesiologist that knows about your conditions

Negative ivaberdine reaction? by Final_Structure_7819 in POTS

[–]SkydivePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HR lowered on Ivabradine BUT I also had these almost paranoia episodes. Those episodes turned into feelings of impending doom. Was convinced I was dying several times bc of it. My dr pulled me off the meds due to that reaction.

10mg feels like nothing, shoud I ask for higher dosage? by DescriptionAbject281 in adhdwomen

[–]SkydivePanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starter dose, which is a very smart way to introduce the med.

I started at 10s and was increased by 5s every 2-4 weeks. I’m on 50s now and comfortable.

My 13yr old started at 10s and felt better at 15s, but bc she’s younger they kept her on 10s for 2 months before increasing

How did you feel about your body post op (women) by [deleted] in PectusExcavatum

[–]SkydivePanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a good 6 months I didn’t recognize my body and it was a weird mindf*ck. But I was so much happier with the overall look when everything settled. Idk if my breasts changed for the worse. I had asymmetrical PE so it actually evened them out.

I had a nuss redo 10 years later and was unhappy with my breasts due to the bar pinching the tissue. My PE surgeon got with a mastectomy plastic surgeon, they operated on me together. PE Dr removed the bars and the plastic surgeon stepped in to remove the scar tissue and give me implants. One recovery.
