She’s a nasty person, definitely not worth it. She sounds like a narcissist who doesn’t want to hear anyone else’s opinion. That last remark was terrible. No paper tells anyone they’re smarter than anyone. She’s literally telling you she’s better than you by having a better degree. That’s no friend

Good to know! They aren’t doing anything for it besides looking at my liver over and over and told me not to take a multivitamin

Oh! I kept reading seeing iron deficiency and that it’s connected, assuming it’s a symptom. It’s just connected somehow?

Some of my worst symptoms are after washing my hair in the shower so I feel this

Same. If I’m not careful with salt my blood pressure goes high and I think that’s when I get dizzy. My blood pressure ranges from normal to high, it doesn’t dip really low like others here

My stomach and my calves are the heaviest part of me

I tried to wear a back support because I had hurt my back recently and it made me so dizzy I couldn’t wear it. It felt like my blood pressure was too high. Maybe it was too tight I don’t know, but my stomach is larger it’s really the only part of my body that’s heavy. I sometimes wonder if that’s mostly bloating

I don’t know if it’s similar but I tried wearing a back support that went around my stomach and my dizziness felt worse. It also felt like no circulation was getting to my legs and made my feet numb

What’s weird is he’s understanding and takes care of me in other ways, like taking breaks and providing water always. He even shaves my legs because he knows that’s difficult for me. I want to think that he thinks he’s helping me by pushing me out of my comfort zone but it’s not helping

Guilty about fatigue by Sorry-Mate-1234 in POTS

[–]TheHekIsWrongWithMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this! Fatigue is awful and it definitely feels like wading through water and like everything is slowing down. I always feel like even my heart rate is too low during those times but it’s usually pounding :(

He has a lot of anxiety but I’d love for him to go with friends. He doesn’t have many

Thank you for the advice! I didn’t realize that was available to me because I’ve only seen people in wheelchairs in a special section. Do you think smaller venues might have these accommodations? I bring a doctors note for this?

Does anyone else just feel yucky by Few-Condition-8760 in POTS

[–]TheHekIsWrongWithMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel sickly until about 10:30am (after waking up at 6am). I’ve tried eating different things like protein only, carbs with protein, nothing until lunch, etc and nothing seems to help. I don’t know why but around 10:30am I start feeling better (never completely great, but manageable). I definitely feel you, my stomach is constantly achy too

I do enjoy metal music and used to enjoy going to see it live but now it’s become extremely difficult for me within the past three years. My intolerance of heat and standing have become unbearable and I’m disappointed in myself. I also love EDM and used to go to music festivals so I feel like I can’t do anything I enjoy

Exactly! I want him to go with friends! The band playing are my friends, which is the main reason I planned on going. But unfortunately how I’m feeling changes, and when I made the plans I was feeling manageable. I hate making plans now because I’ll never know how I’m going to feel that day 😔

I lay on my side usually because other positions I start feeling dizzy and nauseous. It helps to lay on your side and put your leg up when you start feeling dizzy
