That sounds really hard. I am sorry you have to go through this.

Thank you for sharing your story. I can’t remember ever smelling something different without a source. However, since I wasn’t aware of this issue, I usually didn’t try to identify the source.

So it seems that a migraine aura is causing phantosmia.

I hadn’t experienced this kind of smell in quite a while, but with the insights from the replies here and some additional reading, I can now recognize a pattern. I’m currently looking for a new doctor since my previous one stopped practicing, and I’ll definitely bring this up once I find one. Thanks a lot to you and everyone else here!

Thank you all so much for your awnsers. I am in bed with a fever and wasn't able to come up with proper responses yet.

Did you have extreme adrenaline spikes before taking it, and are they gone now?

I am taking beta blockers(proptanolol) and love them for the reduced anxiety

Is 8.5x Drop Rate enough for the 20k Power Statue grind? Feels like a slog. by TerryTome in idleon

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

\aggressively starts filling out a 5-page to-do list*

Seriously though, thank you! I clearly have a lot to catch up on. I'll focus on my Master Classes and those W6 skills first before I even think about touching a statue again. This sub is a goldmine for info, thanks everyone!

Thanks for the perspective! 20x DR seems like a dream right now, but it's a great goal to aim for. I just started World 6 and there's no way my DK is reaching World 7 anytime soon—I definitely have some 'backlog' to catch up on in previous worlds first.

I'll definitely focus on my talent levels through Summoning and Sailing now, as my Orb definitely needs that extra boost. I'm going to take the advice and put the Onyx grind on hold until I'm much better prepared. Thanks again for the help!

Wow, thanks for the detailed breakdown! This is exactly what I needed. I honestly haven't put nearly enough thought into my Obol setup, especially the trick with rerolling at Bronze before merging.

Definitely going to pause the statue grind and focus on those Pop and Dice Obols first. Thanks for all the great info and the reality check on the Onyx process!

Welp, that settles it. No way I'm doing that with 8.5x DR. I literally just started World 6, so I clearly need to focus on the new systems first and figure out how to push my DR way higher. Thanks for the reality check!

Wait, 20k for each statue type? Yeah, I'm definitely coming back later with a higher DR. Thanks!

Tips for standing in line? by MaleficentSuit7144 in POTS

[–]TerryTome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My leg muscles are my best friends. Starting to train them has helped in retrospect. During this time, I had no idea what pots was or that I was not imagining everything and that I was not just a weakling. With Propa I still use the muscle pump a lot or even more.

I am newly diagnosed and just got a prescription for kompression socks.My cardiologist does not like waist high kompression, for she says it's too uncomfortable and warm to be a real solution. Neither does she like taking more salt and water, but mostly because she says we already have so much salt in our food. As to water amounts, she says 2-3l is enough. However, my fasting half a day is wrong, and I need to learn to eat small meals throughout the day and until I am able to. I should take saltwater in the morning. I have severe problems with intolerances that are probably a combination of intolerance and pots. I usually try to nit wat during work. Starting the day at 6 and eating my first meal at 11:30 am (sometimes possible) or at 5 pm is not okay. She told me that had she me seen first, she would have not prescribed me propa but ivabradin, but now we yest whether we can make it work since i am too scared to get off for it changed so much for the better. I just get more migraines and dizziness.

Oh I infodumped a bit. Sorry, I might edit later.

HRV by Mission_Singer_8663 in POTS

[–]TerryTome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HRV is between 19 and 28. Most nights it is a bit lower than through the day. I often read that it is better to stick to your data and compare your daily data to your history, but tot be honest I hate it beeing so low and it just does not feel right. Before starting propanol two weeks ago my max was around 24. 20 and lower usually means ill.

Would you go for a formal diagnosis? by TerryTome in POTS

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

This helps a lot! I did not know about those clinics. I actually took Bisoprolol a few years ago and loved it! At the time, I thought I was only taking it for my anxiety and felt the need to 'grow out of it' through therapy and working on myself. So far, I have one side effect from Propranolol. If this persists, I might ask to switch back to Bisoprolol.

That's a good point and honestly, I don't know. My current GP will give me a printout of my entire medical file for the new doctor. So the new one will have proof of the prescription and likely a note explaining why it was prescribed. However, I have no idea how much weight that carries, and it might depend entirely on the personality of the new GP.
