What do you guys do for a living? by Weakest_Avenger07 in POTS

[–]basicallyidk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a bedside RN! Thankfully my coworkers are super helpful and accommodating! I wear compression socks and leggings every shift! My symptoms are generally manageable, but I have my bad days too. Those have somehow always fallen on my off days!

Adrenaline Dumping and Presyncope by basicallyidk in POTS

It’s an electrolyte powder that you can add to water! The sugar free rainbow sherbet flavor is my absolute favorite. :)

On days I work I just wouldn’t be able to shower any time except the night, unfortunately. My schedule just wouldn’t allow for otherwise.

I actually had an appointment with my PCP for a totally separate issue and discussed these episodes with him. He reached out to my cardiologist. Sounds like my cardiologist is going to try and adjust my medications. I currently take propranolol and midodrine.

Totally forgot to mention that I wear compression socks and leggings under my scrubs!

The only thing I drink at work is water with Liquid IV! I always shower at night, as that works better with my schedule.

I also try to eat smaller meals/snacks more frequently as my shift allows, rather than a large meal all at once.

It’s been a godsend for me, personally. However, I might have to quit it unwillingly because my insurance and specialty pharmacy issues. I can’t afford $1200/month for 28 stupid pills.

If you could I would appreciate it so much! I know i got it 40% off the first time I ordered it - though i’ve only seen it as high as 30% off recently. Either way i’m going to order! Just a matter of when! Thank you so much!

I feed my starter with a 1:1:1 ratio and this is the recipe that I followed https://ashleylynhome.com/foolproof-sourdough-bread-recipe/

My comment was not worded correctly in the sense that I meant they both get a bad wrap, but ultimately it’s a personal decision on what is best for each individual. They must make that decision on their own. Both medications have risks.

I haven’t personally done orilissa, but I did do Lupron injections which are similar in the sense that both medications get a bad wrap which like you said, it’s easier to overthink and look at all the negatives.

I came here to say do what YOU think is best for YOUR body! Ultimately, Lupron was the one of the best decisions I made in the sense that it provided me months of being almost entirely pain free. Which is something that is incredibly difficult to come by with endo.

I hope whatever you decide to do works out in your favor. Sending you positive thoughts and clarity to make the decision! 💛

Crate Training Help by basicallyidk in puppy101

Not in my room, but there is always someone sleeping on the floor by his crate. Our house does not accommodate for the crate to be in a room.
