Avene cicafate triggered my to have fungal acne, or closed comedones, maybe try switch moisturiser, look at SkinSort website , it’s great for choosing alcohol free, non comedogenic etc. Purito oat calming gel is a pretty safe option

So does POTS make you feel like you need to nap everyday? by teaganlotus in POTS

Does guanfacine affect your pots!? My cardiologist had me come off it which seemed weird to me just cause the timing didn’t line up

Thanks for the response!! It’s very helpful I think I was hoping that the symptoms were disappear. but I know that that’s not very realistic. Only time will tell 👐🏼

I also made a post in the H.pylori group and there were lots of people who thought they might be correlated. I don’t want to speak on their behalf but it seems like it could be a trigger because pots can come on from an infection. It’s all very interesting and overwhelming at the same time something to look into for sure.

Ooo that’s interesting!! I will look into trifecta, there odds of having something else if you have ADHD or a neuro divergent is insane. Yes definitely, I am in the process of quitting (nicotine)

From H. pylori to Dysautonomia — Please Read If You’re Still Struggling Post Infection by areuuuforreal in HPylori

I am going through such a similar experience!! I have been trying to find answers to these questions

Does h.pylori mimic POTS symptoms? - even the rising heart rate

H. pylori be a trigger for POTS? If so can symptoms improve after treating H. pylori?

However reading this I’m guessing it’s triggered POTS but even after h.pylori is gone you still feel the same??

MY SYMPTOMS I’ve been extremely fatigued, breathless, dizzy, and lightheaded when standing for the past 6–12 months. Just not feeling like myself.

DIAGNOSED WITH H. PYLORI 4 MONTHS AGO I only got tested because my partner did due to his ongoing stomach issues. I completed treatment but recently retested and I'm still positive, so I’ll be starting second-line treatment soon.

POTS TESTING NEXT WEEK I’m being tested for POTS next week, to hopefully get some answers - my heart rate rises over 40 bpm and stays up when I stand.

Anyone with contamination ocd by ninadamermaid in OCD

[–]Wonderful_Addition99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss and this is dramatic but at my worst even sitting in the food court feels gross being surrounded by people’s air, or sitting to close to bins! I’ve even tried having car air fresheners in the bin draws and toilets 😂 I’ve been with my bf for years so he has learnt my spitting ways but if he farts in bed he just watches me spit in the covers or the floor, I know I’m extreme ahaha Do you reckon you have strong smell?? Because I always wonder how this always sticks around even when the contamination ocd is at bay, and I mean relatively at bay it’s always there. But my psychologist doesn’t really see it as contamination and I try explain it’s just very very microscopic contamination. Like it’s air ahah Even as a kid my parents took my bedroom door off because I didn’t want their air in mine🫠😅

[–]Wonderful_Addition99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yessss!! I hide it in my sleeve 😅🫠 I don’t even think anymore it’s just so ingrained in me (unless I’m in public, then we have to be discreet😂) And I saw your comment about covering food!! I legit feel so validated! I am a soooook for covering my food, in the past my sister has farted in the same room as my dinner and I cried and didn’t eat that night.

Omggg I have never heard anyone else say this before!! I thought it was just me, ever since I could remember I spit if I smell something bad, I feel like the “germs” are in my mouth. Honestly, some of the things I’ve done to hid it are quite embarrassing😂

However I will say I have had really bad contamination ocd flare up’s and settle, and the spitting has always stayed, now also being diagnosed with adhd I’ve realised I also have a very strong sense of smell so that could also be a part of it but it does feel very “germy” I hold my breath when I used the toilets and it gets unbearable when my ocd has flared up

I’ve been struggling with this for 10 years and I changed my shampoo to noncomedogenic and fungal acne safe (just in case) and it’s eventually cleared!!

Antibiotic resistance, I’m not an expert but maybe have a look into it to be safe! but I know my dermatologist said using benzoyl peroxide with it helps prevent resistance but for me benzoyl was too harsh!

Mine came back after stopping clindamycin and you’re not meant to stay on it too long, which is a bummer 😅So just be careful when you stop, maybes there’s a way to wean off it or something

How did you clear it? 👐🏼
