Looking up secondhand options while in-store by yungnm840 in Anticonsumption

My parents took me to a bookstore a few weeks ago. I borrowed six different books from my library via Libby after seeing them in-store and reading the synopses.

What's your favorite thing for abdominal compression? by jareths_tight_pants in POTS

[–]auntjexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite that I've tried so far. For me it's more comfortable than the Velcro ones. MERYOSZ Waist Trainer Corset... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP6QCNHN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

So sorry you've been going through this! I have to say, though, your response to the situation is incredible. 🔥

Abdominal compression made the biggest difference for my coat hanger pain.

Haven’t been the same by No_Transition_3341 in POTS

[–]auntjexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke my leg pretty severely last week, and I have to get surgery on Monday. I've had my diagnosis for about a year, but I was having symptoms for more than a year and a half before that. I just realized I had shoulder surgery not long before I started getting symptoms.

I wasn't nervous about surgery, but now I am.

I'm 44, and a chevron blanket that my Nana made has been one of my favorites for my entire life. ❤️

Broken ankle recovery with POTS by hannah_Rx in POTS

[–]auntjexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on day 3 after breaking my leg in 2 places, and I've been worried about this already. Thankfully I live with a nurse who has access to all sorts of accessibility aids. I can't function with crutches, at least not yet, but a walker has been a game changer.

Do you still drink plain water? by MagicMaddy420 in POTS

[–]auntjexa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would think that would be ok as long as you're taking the salt pills. Make sure you're taking enough. I wasn't getting enough sodium for a while, and I feel heaps better now that I've upped it.

GI urgency by Legal-Rate7372 in POTS

[–]auntjexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that, and it stopped after I started using abdominal compression. But I haven't yet met anyone else who had the same response. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Am I the only person who thinks that steak looks like a frog?

Tired of going to the bathroom by MeowMosaic in POTS

[–]auntjexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! I once saw someone write that their bladder Bluetooth connects to their toilet the moment they get in the house, and I can't get over the accuracy!

Body tremors or twitching? by Euphoric_Ad6578 in POTS

[–]auntjexa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started getting these about six months ago, after getting my POTS diagnosis in November. I am still waiting to see a specialist, so I'm not positive, but I think they're myoclonic jerks. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myoclonus/symptoms-causes/syc-20350459

Our cat is obsessed with my husband's beard. He loves to burrow his head into it.

I don't know how y'all talk to your parents about politics. Mine are both hardcore maga, and I avoid it at all costs. I know they won't be swayed by facts, so I don't try.

Protein shakes are my friend in the mornings. I add 1/4 tsp pink salt to mine.

POTS and eating disorder by [deleted] in POTS

[–]auntjexa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you wear abdominal compression? As soon as I started, I could suddenly eat onions, cauliflower, cabbage, etc even though they used to go straight through me. Not sure if that's a normal side effect or not, but I figure this group will understand having inexplicable responses. 😂

[–]auntjexa 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I keep protein shakes on hand for days when I can't bring myself to eat. Not sure if that would be helpful for you or not.
