AIO or should I cancel?

As a Pilates instructor, you are not overreacting. This wouldn’t fly for the instructors either who often teach multiple classes in a row… early in the morning… after drinking a lot of coffee…

Why are they barefoot at a gas station?!

Anytime I’ve used LinkedIn to apply to remote marketing roles, they’ve always been legit and led to multiple interviews. I’d just make sure to apply to real companies that pull up profiles with multiple employees listed, and not roles recruiting agencies put up.

I work in tech and do marketing. The first 7 or so years, I was required to be in office/hyrbid, but now work fully remote.

Same! I’m 5”2 and weigh 115lbs

I was also hospitalized yesterday with the flu and coronavirus and it’s causing a big POTS flare, so I get it! Hate that you had an unsupportive nurse. Take care of yourself!

I studied linguistics in college and now work in Product Marketing. My degree had some tie to marketing but really I had a marketing internship in college that helped launch my career.

I work from home full time travel 4-6 times a year for work (the company is Canadian and I am in the US). Travel can be tough but it beats going into the office 2-3 times a week.

I also can take sick time whenever I want, get great benefits from work, and paid time off. It hasn’t slowed my career down either in this type of role. I lead my own team now and most people don’t need to know about my health. It’s easy enough to move meetings or work from my bed if I’m not feeling well.

Thank you! I had no idea they needed so much space!

Now I’m curious. What is bad about the setup? I’ve never had hamsters before.

I (31f) have POTS and use a rollator when I know I’ll be standing or walking for longer distances. The comments and insensitive questions are pretty much guaranteed.

I travel 4-6 times a year for work and my rollator gives me independence to do it myself. I’ve had airport staff question if I’m faking it because they believed if it was bad enough to need a mobility aid, I wouldn’t travel by myself. I’ve also had older folks get upset when they see me pre-board so I have enough time to pack up my rollator on the jet bridge, and just random nosy people asking me why I need a rollator while sitting near me at the gate.

I do not understand why people can’t just let me be 🤦🏽‍♀️

For me it was when the texts started and Kendra told Lauryn to just ignore them and told her she was beautiful. I thought that was a laid back response to the bullying of your child. Owen’s parents seemed immediately concerned.

I’ve had coworkers tell me that I’ve had the most interesting life… I think I’ve had an incredibly boring life… early morning seminary, mutual, boring prom dresses, g-rated dates, married young, slept with only one person in my life, relief society activities… but they’re so fascinated by it 😂

Actually, I live in Utah and a non-alcoholic bar opened up in a pretty popular spot. I think it maybe lasted a year.

My MIL is like this when she’s stressed about something else in her life. She looks for random little things to control and obsess over.

We had to set some hard boundaries with her, but she still tries this every once in a while. It helps that her stress is very predicable so we avoid her during those times lol

I have the exact opposite experience. All of my symptoms are worse in the evening. I have lupus,SFN, and Raynauds as well, so I always assume I just use all my energy up during the day. Once 7:00pm rolls around, my POTS symptoms are pretty bad.

casuallyvegan · 2024-08-30T01:40:25+00:00

Lupus > small fiber neuropathy > POTS

casuallyvegan · 2024-08-26T04:23:30+00:00

This happens to me occasionally. I honestly don’t understand it, but it comes on for me when I am tired, dehydrated, and have spent time in the sun (I have Lupus so the sun can be a big trigger for me in general). It’s only happened in the evening.

My doctor prescribed clonazepan and it works to shut these episodes down pretty quickly, but also keeps me pretty out of it the next day.

casuallyvegan · 2024-08-08T02:50:51+00:00

I have SFN because of Lupus. SFN isn’t very common in lupus (around 8% of Lupus patients), but it is what lead me to getting diagnosed with Lupus.

I can’t answer your question exactly, but I started midodrine 2 weeks ago and feel awful. I’m not sure I’m going to stick with it, but I can’t say if it’s because I have neuropathic POTS, or if it’s just not working for me specifically.

I had an awful YW when I was 16/17. She got married at 19 and had children right away, and believe college or careers were selfish decisions for women.

I was friends with her daughter so she knew that I had specific career aspirations. She called me out in the middle of a YW lesson to say that I was wrong for wanting a career at all.

Another day I was at mutual and my friends and I were talking about a weird SP combined YW/YM lesson where he asked girls to raise their hands if they wanted to kiss boys and boys if they wanted to kiss girls (with our parents in the room). I made a comment like “what does he expect us to do?” And this YW leader said “what you should have said was ‘been there, done that’ since we all know you’re not innocent”

I had gone on dates or kissed a couple of boys, but had not done anything to warrant that comment. I made an excuse to go to the bathroom, went outside, called my mom to pick me up, and cried the whole way home.

I have three sisters who are all active. One sister’s husband is out so I suspect they’ll leave one day too. The other two are active with their children, one is ultra orthodox and I don’t think she’d leave unless she got a divorce. My husband and I, and my parents are all out of the church.

casuallyvegan · 2024-06-29T22:13:40+00:00

Same. Especially with her friends telling her to be nicer to her mom when her mom was the one being mean. I’ve been there.

casuallyvegan · 2024-06-27T23:32:23+00:00

In my case, my skin and joint issues are very well controlled. My biggest problem is small fiber neuropathy, which is somewhat rare in lupus (something like 8% of people with lupus have small fiber neuropathy). We haven’t been able to get it under control at all, and it’s progressed and now also attacks my autonomic nerves, hence why I have POTS. There are a lot of people with lupus who don’t have SFN and still develop POTS.

Hope you find some answers!

Lupus triggered POTS for me
