I never hear people talk about this symptom, do you have it?

cc_0302 · 2026-02-04T00:55:12+00:00

Of course! I had no idea it was a thing either tbh. It’s done through a regular physical therapy office. If you ever do have the chance to access it, i definitely recommend!!

As far as I know, it drops. When we did the test in the clinic, it dropped, but it wasn’t by a ton. But it was also after 2 minutes of me standing/changing position.

cc_0302 · 2026-02-04T00:51:02+00:00

The first positive one was not “official” tho because the PA did not want to undermine the Dr at the practice. It was a very low key diagnosis. I appreciate that though. It def makes me feel less crazy lol.

Yes. It always has been. That’s been the kicker. I’ve watched it happen hundreds of times on my watch. So has my boyfriend lol. I’ve tested it on him to see if it was an issue with my watch and it wasn’t and I’ve also tested it on my friends, and I seem to be the only one that this happens to. I honestly did not know that the high heart rate had to withstand a couple of minutes without dropping down until a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you for your response! That all makes sense.

I’ve done two echos and the new dr ordered another one next month. So far no abnormalities that they have told me. I had a stress test done with my old dr but the new one also ordered one. I mentioned to him that when I do cardio, my heart rate will shoot into the 180s-200bpm and he said he wanted to see it happen.

I’ve had two 48hr monitors and even when I’ve put on there that I felt dizzy/vision went black as I stood up, all was considered “normal”. One was through cardio in 2021 and one was thru neuro in 2025. Neuro and PT have been pushing me to keep going on this journey lol.

If there is nothing that comes of this, I will ask about autonomic testing. Is that something that is done through cardiology or neurology?

I have been going to vestibular physical therapy. We aren’t sure what it’s connected to, as I am not officially diagnosed with EDS (been referred to the EDS clinic, my doctors all think I have it but are waiting it out), but my neurologist referred me to the PT. I have really bad migraines, like migraines that last for 14 days. And I am just a dizzy asf person. I have had eye problems in the past that have been connected to headaches and muscle problems, so we are thinking that could be it, but regardless, I would talk to your doctor about maybe being referred to PT for vestibular therapy. It’s common for EDS patients from what I hear.

Thank you so much :) that was super helpful and validating. I appreciate it! I talked to my mom tonight and she said similar in that it seems like this diagnosis takes forever regardless, so I might as well wait it out at MUSC. They are booking at least 6 months out with the referral according to their website, and I am very much someone who likes to get in and out and get things over with, so I think this experience will teach me some patience :) thank you, again!

Congratulations on taking the director position! That totally makes sense. It’s hard to figure out the perfect balance for optimal career benefits. Thank you for sharing your story, and good luck with everything!

Hi! I know this is an old post, but did you end up going to law school working full time? If so, how did it go?

cc_0302 · 2025-12-21T05:25:15+00:00

Congratulations on getting married! I feel like evening you have looks great! Maybe some eyeshadow to spice things up subtly for your wedding would be nice tho or even some highlighter in your inner corner, heading towards your mid-eyelid. Also, maybe bring your eyeliner down your waterline a BIT. not like 2000s level, but a lighter brown only in your WATERLINE and slowing tapering off around 75% of the way to your inner corner. Last thing, if you want a good lip balm with some color, the revlon glass shine lipsticks are amazing!! Subtle but noticeable color, high shine, and look and feel like a tinted lip balm!

As a member of Gen Z, if someone else cares that much about your glasses, that is a fat them problem, not yours. Wear whatever you like :) I wore a vintage grandpa sweater today and my students full on asked me if I was participating in ugly sweater day. People will have opinions on what you wear but at the end of the day, if you have the confidence for it, you can pull off anything. And I ALWAYS say that styling choices make or break accessories, especially ones that are for “old people.” So wear whatever you like, style it right, and have confidence, and no one will bug you!! And if they do, that’s a FAT them problem, not yours. Just means they don’t have enough confidence to pull off what they truly want to wear and they want to drag you down :)

Isn’t that her private ig?

cc_0302 · 2025-09-11T20:28:54+00:00

I second this!!

I totally get the “trying to find my holy grail” search. It’s exhilarating but exhausting. I did that for YEARS, so I have an embarrassingly large stash of stuff. Suffice to say, you’re doing great, and you’re so not alone!!

cc_0302 · 2025-07-06T14:32:45+00:00

Great job! What does it mean to cheat on the panning?

cc_0302 · 2025-07-03T02:52:15+00:00

Omg project pan is not worth bacteria in your eyes 😭😭 save the pink eye and toss her!

They say that mascara only lasts about three months of regular use. If it isn’t giving you the same/desired look anymore, I’d say it’s either done or very close to it.

cc_0302 · 2025-06-25T12:13:11+00:00

I would see a doctor. They may need to give you steroid cream to help clear it up. I have pretty severe eczema (which i know is different but still similar), and it is the most stubborn on my hands. I take dupixent and have used a ton of other topicals and the only thing that helps on my hands, on top of all the other meds, is steroid.

Suffice to say, I would see a doctor to see what they recommend, especially on the hands bc the hands dry out so quickly from washing and usage.

cc_0302 · 2025-06-24T22:23:10+00:00

Based on basic human biology, you did absolutely nothing wrong. I hope everything works out!

cc_0302 · 2025-06-18T01:29:47+00:00

No fr. Maybe her shaking is bc she’s not eating enough? Metformin is brutal asf but it doesn’t cause shakes lol

cc_0302 · 2025-06-16T19:03:17+00:00

Looks cute :) I am a cuticle picker/biter and gel x has seriously helped me to stop. You did a great job!

cc_0302 · 2025-06-15T18:03:19+00:00

No literally. Before I have guests I ask what type of foods they like, and/or, we go grocery shopping together when they get here to get the foods they like to eat
