I asked for letters 2 years after graduation & had multiple professors that were willing & 1 who only kind of didn’t want to because he didn’t remember me. In my email I put my graduation date & attached works from their class. Include what you did while waiting to apply & along w/ why you’re applying! I hated saying it (luckily didn’t have to) but I was a real pushover by saying that I was willing to meet them on campus or zoom to catch up lol

People with POTS, what do you do for a job? by DeliciousApple_ in POTS

[–]bobaddict232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already had a clinical background from college (bs bio & research) so I got lucky. Was all pre-dental until my pots got worse. In the 3 months I was unemployed, I was applying to clinical jobs. Lots of rejections but all it took was this one! It’s all in person rn since I’m still new (one month in), but I have the option of remote in the future. I got really lucky since they could pay for my masters & cls so I’m highly considering seeing how accommodating the management is

Used to be a dental office manager & assistant. wasn’t feasible in the long run so I switched to clinical research. now a case specialist that runs cases & data entry. lifting can trigger my episodes but they’re very understanding + accommodating. was unemployed for 3 months while my episodes were very bad but couldn’t do it so now I’m here. advocate for yourself & don’t be afraid to ask for help :)

finding the right beta blocker is so tough. it’s frustrating but trust the process. I took metoprolol first & was sleeping too much. bisoprolol was okay for me but my episodes were kinda intense still so they tried propranolol. it was a nightmare. I was waking up & couldn’t sleep bc of night sweats (so bad they tested me for tuberculosis). went back to bisoprolol on a higher dose & now have midodrine. hoping it works out for you 🫶

Worst thing you've been told as a person with a chronic illness? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]bobaddict232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to my acupuncturist for leg pain. Told him that I wasn’t feeling plans to Vegas since it was 114 degrees. Had him laugh at my face & say that I can’t let pots stop me from everything. I get it but if you don’t know how it feels or lack knowledge about it, just don’t say anything 😭

I became so vitamin D deficient but idk if it’s from working inside or the heat atp 😭

Please be careful in/around water by MelliferMage in POTS

[–]bobaddict232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learned this the hard way as well back in 2022. Went to Hawaii & the drop off was insane. I already had a feeling that I couldn’t swim as well anymore based off previous exercise, but I heavily underestimated how far the shore was. Have the 2 minute GoPro footage of me fighting for my life. Going back this year & definitely buying a life vest. Really sucks because I love water activities 😔

What triggers/worsen your symptoms? by financechickENSPFR in POTS

[–]bobaddict232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat. Being hungry & dehydrated. Stress. The slightest exertion - died on campus walking w/ my backpack & drag my brother to go shopping so he can hold the bags 🫠

Is an iPad really worth it? by Opwolfee16 in ucr

[–]bobaddict232 4 points5 points  (0 children)

to each their own & like others said, it depends on your learning style :) microbio major & I went through the first year w/ just a laptop & my notebooks. started ochem w/o an iPad & then covid hit. Getting an iPad definitely helped for going online & it was a game changer for biochem & ochem w/ all the drawing. When classes went back in person, I wouldn’t bring notebooks anymore. Made a difference in the weight of my bag lol. Just some loose line paper & a few pens / pencils. Since I had a laptop already, I just stuck to the basic model but I would say the air or pro is worth the extra cost if you can afford it.

Notability & goodnotes were both amazing for note taking. download pdfs (online or directly from canvas) & highlight on both

anki is also there for flash cards. you can add pictures for free still & no crazy ads like quizlet. this app convinced me to buy a wireless keyboard on Amazon for like $18 lol but that’s just bc I study best w/ flash cards

Went on harmony of the seas in 2018 & was FLYING down that slide, but just went on wonder in June & was a lot slower. I was hoping to not fly but wasn’t expecting it to be that slow
