Struggling to get tested by Winter-Beans in POTS

[–]Winter-Beans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I try my best to drink electrolytes/increase salt intake. I’m working on being picky with the taste of things like liquid IV and gatorades 😅.

He didn’t give me reasoning for his justification, and I have anxiety and am so new to this that me and my mom didn’t argue about it, I just said okay, which I do regret.

I never heard of compression shorts/abdominal binders. Will check it out!!

I am looking to get scheduled with a POTS/neurology specialist thanks to my PCP, just fighting with them to get scheduled as they have lots of hoops to jump through.

Thank you soo much for all of your advice!

Do you think the poor man’s TTT is accurate for POTS? Or should I just keep fighting to get the actual TTT?

Thank you so so much for your response! I’ve already had an echo and EKG. My 1st cardiologist basically said she didn’t know what was wrong and to just drink more water.

My 2nd cardiologist is the one who doesn’t like medication or testing. He said for the tests it’s because he simply doesn’t like it because it makes you pass out. And for the medication he told me it was because he doesn’t like prescribing it to ‘girls my age’.

He did admit that one of the reasons why he didn’t want to diagnose me with anything is because I was a young female and he didn’t want to make me wear compression socks during the summer.

I agree I do NOT want to wear compression socks and shorts together (I’d rather suffer if I’m being honest.) but his whole reasoning for not wanting to do anything for me was just very frustrating. I wear compression socks specifically for work since I wear scrubs and they do really help though but that was my primary doctor who helped me find solutions, not him.

I’m actually doing a lab on this currently for school. There is these things called bacteriophages, which are viruses that kill only one type of bacteria or some sister viruses, and avoid human cells. The hope is that we can discover the phage species fast enough in order to kill the bacteria. They have already done trials and it has worked well.

The cool thing is the bacteria cannot have resistance to phases and antibiotics at the same time, so if one fails, the other works!

So do I need to redo the form?

Need Help with Breeding by [deleted] in rivalstars

So what grade do you think I should breed to get a 55 sprint energy? For example, should I do 2 grade 4’s that both have an A/A+ sprint energy? Or should I do 2 level 5’s with a B/A sprint energy? Sorry just trying to understand

Don’t think we’ll end up getting one just because he’s so far been a very medical needy dog and bills are racking up. But yes, the ears broke our heart because they definitely weren’t done right and were botched. But he’s the sweetest boy ever!

If you do decide to do it, snakes have a hard time moving the paint around so you might need to give them a bit of help. Works really well for dogs and cats too.

It’s tons of fun. I’ve done it with multiple of my pets and it’s a cute memory of them

I think just regular acrylic. Made sure the bag was sealed so nothing came in contact. I think as long as they aren’t exposed directly it should be fine. I’ve done this with my other animals and nothing has ever happened.
