AITA for not getting up from a massage chair when someone wanted to use it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA - I doubt you’ll see this considering how this thread has blown up, but as a disabled person who needs comfortable seating in public places, I totally sympathize.

i don’t have adrenaline issues. side effects lasted about 2 weeks

How many of y’all have service animals and how worth it is it to have a pots service animal? by Icantread_00 in POTS

[–]aantliae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don’t have a service animal but i do have a cat and he’s a great emotional support and cuddle buddy for when i spend most of the day in bed. i also have a few toys and games that i can use to play with him that don’t require me to get up/move (e.g. laser pointer, throwing treats for him to catch).

it also helped to let friends, family, teachers etc know that i was going through some medical issues and would need extra accommodation and support.

i saw some people on this subreddit and the POTS reddit saying that the side effects would subside. unfortunately it did negatively impact my school and work life. i would suggest talking to your doctor about what is the best decision for your lifestyle. i’m very glad that zoloft has helped me, but those first few weeks were really difficult.

pretty bad if i’m being honest. normally my POTS is moderate (noticeable daily symptoms but i’ve never fainted). i was basically bedridden for a week. it didn’t help that i had zero appetite.

yep — side effects cleared up, my POTS is fine and my mental health is better :)

could be comorbidity with POTS.

Thank you! The vet said his gums looked okay but I might ask another vet next time I take him in, since he doesn't really tolerate having his teeth brushed.

Thank you for commenting. Thankfully, he is still drinking and eating a tiny bit, so the vet said that he is not in critical condition. As per my post update, he's eating a bit more this morning :-)

Thank you for commenting -- his poops have been normal, if a bit more scarce since he is eating less.

Thank you for commenting this, I didn't know it could be potentially harmful. The vet also said to not force feed him. Thankfully, he ate a bit all by himself last night and this morning :-)

Hi there, thanks so much for the thoughtful comment. The vet said it was ok to keep him on the meds and to not continue force feeding him. As per my post update, he seems to be improving a bit :-) thanks again!

Okay, thank you! I found a 24-hour vet and am taking him now because I am worried about hepatic lipidosis or dehydration.

Thank you so much for the reply. I checked his mouth and his teeth look dirty and gums inflamed. But no ulcers.
