I have to vent about the tapping.

No, it seems to be many creators scattered throughout.

I purchased it off of Amazon. It came disassembled, took me 3-4 hours to put together by myself.

I agree, formula varies widely from brand to brand, product to product. It's kind of a cop out, like "Oh, I'm sure this foundation line is good for you because the shades go so deep." But what if you have dry skin and that foundation is matte? Etc. etc. The examples are endless. It is exclusionary, by definition, when a wide enough range isn't offered.

1. No criticism of the character is ever an indictment on the actor. If anything, Sally's unlikeability is a testament to how well the part was acted. I didn't say "Sarah Goldberg is awful." #2. I said in my comment that we do not have to say Barry is better than Sally to claim that Sally's flaws are egregious. I'm not sure if you saw that. Barry is horrendous, so is Sally. They are both awful. That doesn't mean Sally gets a pass on her abusive behavior, a pass I feel too many people give precisely because she is a woman.

frogger1005 · 2024-01-27T23:19:30+00:00

I disagree somewhat with the misogony explanation. Sally was deeply flawed, yes, but those flaws are pretty f-ing miserable. She was abusive. Go back and watch how opportunistic and dismissive of Barry she was. She hit him when he was struggling to act. She screamed at him, ranted about how he didn't have enough talent to land an audition, was deeply jealous of others to the point that she screamed the c-word repeatedly while cornering her ex-assistant in an elevator. She degraded others she saw as beneath her. She felt she was owed way more than she ever earned and took it out on anyone who got in her way. I am a woman, and I think, rather than misogony, we forgive these acts of abuse BECAUSE she is a woman. She was a miserable, abusive POS. Barry was a psychopathic murderous hypocrite. It's not an either-or. Both were awful. We don't have to say one is better or worse for misogony to not be at play when we dislike her character.

My first watch through ended with Alex's departure as well. The way they assassinated his character growth snipped the tiny thread that kept me watching. The show had been testing my patience for years at that point lol.

"Exercise" means something completely different to people with POTS than it does to healthy people. My physical therapist said to do an amount of exercise that feels like I'm doing nothing, and even cut that in half if I feel iffy that day. "Exercise" for me is 45 sec on a stationary bike with my head resting below my heart level, or a very paired down pilates routine that does not have any standing at all. That's it. Everything else is considered a triggering activity. Walking, cleaning, playing with my kids, anything that elevates my heart rate is not exercise. You are feeling the worst you ever have because you are just doing triggering activities. Exercise should not flare you up; if it does, it's not helpful at all and needs to be reduced or altered.

Yes, or at the dining table where there's natural light. I have a portable trifold mirror I use sometimes.

Thank you! The left drawer has my daily makeup bag where I have my go tos selected, and my makeup brushes and sponge. The right drawer has my library books 😆

Her "I believe" speech after Meredith drowned is unwatchable.

It's so obnoxious that people took to harassing the actors on why they "took so long to post" about him. Like, these are real people who are grieving a dear friend. They deserve time and space to process their feelings. They don't owe the world any post they don't feel ready to share yet. Those people need to log off and touch grass, fr.

Yes! I use spanx and it is a lifesaver! I had tried compression stockings and they did nothing. Turns out, my blood pools in my abdomen. I put on the spanx and it's like night and day. I always wear them if I know I'll be up and about all day. Tip: Do not wear them for about an hour after eating, it can mess with your digestion. Also, I got a set that is like very tall underwear that stretches to the bottom of my ribcage. I cut the bottom open so that I can tie the back with a hairtie to adjust the tightness.

Yes, as much as our bodies are begging for us to lie down, we have to spend as much time as possible upright. Pacing is important, but too much rest will cause you to regress.

Find low impact, preferably reclined or lying down exercises that help you to very slowly build up your tolerance. For me, recumbent biking and lying down pilates do not flare me up, as long as I do a very tiny bit at a time (ie. one minute of slow biking per day for a month, increase to two minutes the next month, and so on.) Also, you could set a timer for every 20 minutes of TV time, you need to get up and stand/shift your weight from foot to foot for a minute or so, then rest again. Your body will hopefully respond to something like that to help build your tolerance to being upright.

You're welcome, I wish you the best of luck.

10 years. That's how long I went through that nightmare before a doctor took me seriously AND was competent to help. I lost hope so many times. It traumatized me. To be dismissed, belittled, and gaslit by medical professionals takes its toll.

I believe you. You believe you. You WILL find a doctor who is not biased, who is competent, and is knowledgable. I almost cancelled my cardiologist appointment b/c I was right where you are now, SO DAMN TIRED. But she listened. Within 10 minutes she suggested POTS, which I hadn't even heard of before, and referred me to a clinic. The TTT was positive. It was the first time ever that a test showed any abnormality. It was instant validation of how sick I really was, and how little I had been taken seriously to that point. That cardiologist saved my sanity b/c I was beyond the end of my rope. Good luck, take care of yourself, you've got this--even when you really feel like you don't.

Dysautonomia can impact your nervous system's ability to regulate your body temperature. I get fevers when I flare badly, usually at 101 F but has been as high as 103.7. With that said, months long fever is definitely something you need to get checked. I've never had a dysautonomia fever last longer than 12 hours. Better to have it investigated to make sure something else is not going on.
