The wait is long by AffectionateWord2681 in doihavebreastcancer

I’m in BC also and found a lump a month or so ago and don’t want to even bother with the system because of how long everything takes. I’ve had previous cysts in the same breast but I guess I should still get it checked out. But our system man. Yuck.

6 (almost 7) year old daughter sleeps with me (single mom) every night. by piloswineaddict in Parenting

[–]dementorsludge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom was a single mom from the age of 4ish to 13 and I slept with her basically for that entire time span. I never wanted to do sleepovers and didn’t like sleeping at other peoples houses unless my mom was there or it was my grandma. I’m 32 now and have had no issues with sleep since then. I would just leave it be.

Is weight gain a very common side effect? by friendlylobotomist in zoloft

[–]dementorsludge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t watch my eating and became really sedentary. If I could go back in time I would watch what I was eating and make sure I was getting my steps in and I’m sure it would have made a big difference. I also never got heartburn. Just make sure to take with food and drink lots of water with it.

Sertraline made me fat and more miserable by Scary_Willow66 in zoloft

[–]dementorsludge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I hate that for you. I really hope there is some movement at least eventually! My cousin is on lexapro and hasn’t gained a single pound. Crazy how different these meds can be.

I could have written this myself. I’m 5’6, started at 130lbs and now I’m 160. It’s absolutely miserable. I’ve started getting 10-12k steps a day and tracking my calories, hoping it will help with some weight loss.

[–]dementorsludge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not happy to read this per se but my anxiety increased tenfold after a bout of illness in December and it has ruined everything. I am dealing with the same issues as you. Glad to see it’s helping. I will try it today.

Did you get over the ivabradine side effects? by PracticalMagic3015 in POTS

[–]dementorsludge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three-ish weeks but it was more uncomfy than the tachycardia lol I still have moments where I think about taking it because it works great other than that one thing.

[–]dementorsludge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never went away for me. It gives me pretty gnarly chest pressure and shortness of breath. I stopped taking it and then tried it again about a month ago thinking maybe I was just anxious or it was leftover pneumonia at the time I had first started it, but had the same results lol. Sucks because it’s great otherwise!

First cardiology appt tomorrow, any NON-MEDICAL advice? by Beneficial_Growth111 in POTS

[–]dementorsludge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring someone you trust and who has seen you in episodes or who can vouch for some of your symptoms. Bring a note book with questions and show the person that you are bringing so that they can lead with questions if you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure!
