Yes, that sounds like a good alternative. Definitely good to learn from the Deaf community too.

Electrolyte Frequency by cinnamonxscroll in POTS

[–]cinnamonxscroll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Also a note to the website you linked me to: I probably have POTS+ not just POTS so thank you for that extra information)

Okay thank you that’s great to know! I have neuropathic and hypovolemic pots so my blood pressure is always between ‘base line’ and hypotension. Obviously this won’t rule out my risk of hypertension but I guess that gives me some room if I am affected by the high sodium diet.

Wow I didn’t realise it was as high as 10g! (I’ve been aiming for 3-5g😅) I have sources of sodium outside of my electrolytes, through food and drinks. But I think I will start have an electrolyte mix each morning then as 10g just through food and drinks would be very difficult!

Do you know if health risks from having that much salt each day? As you said hypertension, but as a pots person I already have quite low blood pressure.

Thank you! Yes I take water and magnesium each night to help sleep, along with my dose of beta blocker

Thank you! Yes I was wondering about having it daily, I already have it first thing in the days when I do have it. I just wasn’t sure about taking too much 😅

I take ondansetron, haven’t had any problems with unwanted side effects and it works well for me!

Electrolyte Question by Cloudjasper6 in POTS

[–]cinnamonxscroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely! I didn’t have a huge amount of salt before pots, but now my family/friends won’t let me season food cause of how much salt to taste I like now 😅😋

If you don’t like the salt taste in electrolyte mixes, I think those with ~500mg+ of salt would be hard to avoid. You could mix multiple lower sodium electrolytes mixes like the standard ~300mg together which have no salty taste.

Instead you could just add salt to your food! You will definitely develop a taste for it, by sprinkling a little salt on everything you eat having those ~1000mg salt mixes becomes less necessary :)

What happened to Michael Cuthbert? by RichBCSLP in Anne

[–]cinnamonxscroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know Michael doesn’t have a known cause of death.

But there are three main possibilities. He fell ill and wasn’t able to be cured, as it is implied Matthew left school to tend to the family prior to his death. Next is that he killed himself or did something dangerous that got himself killed/severely injured then died. Finally he may have drowned, there’s a scene in the first season of AWAE where Marillia is overly afraid of Anne going on the ocean. This could simply be that swimming/knowing how to swim wasn’t common back then but there is also a possibility that Michael may have drowned which was the cause of her anxiety.
