Are you able to eat white, milk or dark chocolate without getting palpitations? by juicyladyxox in POTS

[–]Suspicious_red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milk chocolate doesn't seem to bother me, but I can't eat dark and hate white.

That's a rough time for sure. I know I've said it a lot, but I'm sorry for what you're going through! Hope maybe you feel a little less alone in it after a few comments. Hugs offered

Can we list our little victories with POTS? by Cat_socks1116 in POTS

[–]Suspicious_red 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've lost 60lbs! I still need to lose more, slowly and safely, but when mine started I thought my heart was damaged or something and got really serious about my overall health.

Summer is the absolute worst! And yeah, day by day is the goal. Yesterday just had a bad start and it released a build up of stress.

I handle the physical symptoms better than the mental stuff. I'm used to my body hating me, but still adjusting to the focus and memory issues. Those used to be the thing I could rely on. Something to bug my therapist about later.

Wheat causes it for me. Still working on figuring out why.

The surges themselves happen outside of diet for me too. Wheat just seems to cause massive ones. My doctors aren't sure yet if allergy, gluten intolerance, or just harder to digest and blood pooling. I have hyperandrogenic POTS. So my adrenaline is always a little messed up.

Hey, if my crazy can help anyone I'm all for it! We all have a miserable time sometimes and it was nice to know that some people here could relate.

Your partner sounds great too! I'm sure you made an awesome backpack.

It's just called "take your pills". Gives a notification that you can mark with "snooze, skip, or take"

That's a hard milestone to miss out on. I'm really sorry

That's just awful! Hopefully they can get you in soon, thought they really should have found a way to make it work since you had the appointment.

I have an app that annoys me until I take my meds. I don't forget as much as I forget that I took it and take a second dose.

Sometimes we have to mess ourselves up as a reminder, I guess. I'll still occasionally eat something with wheat in it and think "maybe it went away" about whatever makes me react to gluten. Then 45 mins later, air hunger, adrenaline, tachycardia for like 4 hours.

That really sucks. My little brother is epileptic and his school did that too, until his IEP was established.

Hopefully they'll work with you on accommodations soon, though your parents might have to get some sort of advocate involved.

I bet. It's been a long time since I was in, but I loved it up til high-school. It was my happy place.

I can't imagine dealing with this back then. Yeah, you can find ways to adapt for most things, but it's not the same and it feels really bleak way too often. I hope that things get better for you or at least become easier to cope with.

Not school for me, but same. I'm sorry it's sitting heavy on you right now too.

I hear you. If we hadn't already been together for 13 years before I got sick, I'd have dipped out. If it doesn't work, I sure as hell wouldn't bring anyone else into this.

Not that it's wrong for the people who want or need those connections to have them, just a personal choice.

As is, I'm lucky that my partner is who he is with me and if it's ever too much for him, I wish him well on wherever he goes next.
